The Teachers Should Be Paid

The city board of education has just addressed
aletter to the people of Marietta stating the condi
tons which make it impossible for them to pay the
teachers for their services in April
According to the board the taxes have not been
collected according to law and the board is without
funds.
1t goes without argument that money is scarce
and the people of Marietta cannot pay their taxes
as readily when financial conditions were better
But that st sufficient to let the school teach
ers wait for the money they have earned. It's
much easier for the people to pay their taxes than
for the teachers to wait for their entire income Ma
rietta doesn want reputation of this kind and the
teachers should be paid promptly.

In his honor this region was named Louisiana. French colonies soon sprang up, including New Or leans, which was founded in 171S.
 An interesting chapter of Louisiana was the formation of the Company of the West by financial schemer named John Law. This company ostensibly was to exploit the new colony and held out to spectators an alluring get-rich-quick scheme.
 In 1763 France ceded Louisi ana east of the Mississippi to England, and, by secret treaty, New Orleans and the western territory went to Spain. Spanish rule proved uncomfortable to the inhabitants and the restrictions over the navigation of the Mis- sissippi led to hostilities be- tween the northern American settlements and Spain. This situation, however, was brought to peaceful termination by Spain relinquishing her rights to thls territory to France and the purchase in 1903 by the Uni ted States from France of the entire Louisiana territory.
 
 acquisition was organized as the territory of Orleans and in 1912 was admitted as the eighteenth state of the Union, with an area of 4S,506 square miles. As the Louisiana cOat-of- arms has pelican in its center, the state Is often called the Pelican State. Co by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.J
