Washington. March Editor
the Argus: In ! recent issue Of
The Argus We note An interview
With Frank B. Stork Of your city,
claiming that not only are the Fill
pinos not ready for their independ-
ence, but that they do not wish it;
that the planters with whom he
talked las Q representative OF the
Moline Plow company assured him
such move would not be benefi-
cial.

coming to some parts OF the United
states and asking the natives sim
liar questions about the independ-
ence Of this country! Does not Mr..
Stork know that there are sections
in this country where the people
not only do not know that the
World war has ended, but that they
didn't know that q war was going
on! Does he not know that il such
a condition can exist in this en-
lightened country, it could hardly
be expected to be different in a
country only beginning to follow in
her footsteps?
Answering. briefly. his conten-
ton that independence is desired
only by the political leaders, we
would point out that these leaders
being elected by popular vote, rep
resent the majority of the people
! and thus must be the voice OF the
people. No doubt thousands of your
people disagree and dissent from
! your acts Of congress. yet these
acts stand. for they were enacted
by your representatives, duly elect.

charges. He said there were nearly
10000 children on part time and that
about fifteen schools would be required,
at an average cost of $500, 900 each
Before and during the war" said
Mr.. Catharine. "it cost the board twenty
cents a cubic foot to. build n school. In
1919 the cost was fifty cents cubic
foot. This dropped to forty cents In
1920 and now it is thirty cents.
The Councilmen who expressed
criticism of the boards action in asking
an increase are Charles Il. Hall and
William McCoach. Mr.. Hall said the
rate proposed for 1922, ninety five
cents, is within FIVE cents of what 1t
cost to run the whole city five years
ago.
Mr.. McCoach's attack took another
angle. He declared there were as many
children unable to get school accommo-
dations now as in 1912. although cost
of the school system had increased about
$50 or 200 per cent. Mr.. McCoach
added that this was due to the appoint
i've system Of the Board Of Education.
Mr.. Catharine said he did not propose
to enter into any controversy but that
the criticism was not warranted by the
facts. He asserted the city tax had in
creased in much greater proportion than
that Vf the school.
"In 1905" said Mr.. Catharine. the
combined tax was S1.5O. OF this amount
one dollar went to the city and nifty
cents to the schools. Since that time

SCHOOL TAX RISE

Figures Supporting 15-
Cent Increase
TELLS OF DEBT BURDENS

,o,onb w. Catharine, Of the Finance
rorrittee of the Board Of EduSation,
..nJnced figures today to support the
pnord's approval of an additional ff-
,een cents in the school tax for 1922.
Mr. Catharine expressed regret AZ
..i,icism aimed at the board by mem
tsrs Of Council. and said the asser-
.Tons of these Councilmen we're unfair.
"'' Incidentally. Mr.. Catharirn said It
..,s fortunate for the peopfe generally
tbot the public schools had been taken
trom control of Council and were under
a,,ection of the Board Of Education.
az the fifteen cent additional tax ten
,,nts goes to pay an increase in sal
sries of teachers, made mandatory by
tbe last Legislature; two and one half
cents to school buildings and two and
one half cents for a new administration
bulding for the board.
Mr.. Catharine said the Board Of
rduration was working along lines of
strictest economy. He asserted that the
nubIic generally did not realize what
financial burdens the board had to
carry.
said the board had to assume n debt of
about 81, 500, 900 for outstanding loans
foated by the city and which until 1905
were carried by the city.
Enactment Of the School Code in 1905
nlsced the burden Of obtaining school
funds on the board. The board also
had TO carry nearly $4,000, 900 for
loans which 1t created.
II was suggested to Mr.. Catharine
that on account of a reduction in build
ipg costs it was thought that the board
might economize in that direction and
shade the proposed increase somewhat.
Mr.. Catharine said that $537 1886. so
had been set, aside in the budget for
land and buildings and that this would
be required regardless of present re-
ductions.
He explained that this sum would
simply be nucleus for new buildings.

land and also to take care Of interest

the board by members by the Beard OF
Judges, was the best thing that ever
happened for the schools Of the city.
"When the old Councils had charge
Of the schools" said Mr.. Catharine,
"they were subordinated to all other
city departments and it was often i'm
possible to obtain money for sadly
needed repairs.
IT recall several instances where
members Of the Board Of Education,
Including myself, were forced to go
down in our pockets to pay for repairs
to windows, and other school work.
We preferred to do this rather than
waste many months to get some small
item approved by Council. y

the city has increased its tax from 81 to
S2.15 or 115 per cent.
I'm 1905 the school tax was fifty
cents and up to this year Il has in
creased 10 eighty cents, or go per cent.
The action Of the board will increase It
TO ninety FIVE cents, or an advance Of
% per cent over 1905.
The present action Of the board is
not voluntary act, but compulsory
on account Of the action of the Legis-
lature. which designated an increase

 Wed Her First LoUe

Leaving today for the coast where she will become the bride of tho man to whom she was engaged in her "sub deb" days, Mrs. Edith Jewel Burmester, charming diVor- cee, yesterday announced her en- sasement to George Nicholson Full Ter, son of Judge William Fuller of Los Angeles.
 This is tho third time covering . period of 18 years that the engage ment of the couple has been an nouaced, but Mrs. Burmester, hold ing to the belief that the third time is the charm" declares she will marry her childhood lover immedi- ately on her arrival in Los Angeles.
 She characterizes as "interrup- tions of the romance" the many in cidents that have combined to keep them apart. An Unacceptable fate" has brought them together again, she says.
 If was when she was in her teens at Cumnock that she met young Fuller, Stanford student, and they decided to marry on the completion of their education. But when she completed her course she was sent abroad and in travel and study for got for time the college boy to
 whom she pliehted her troth. On ncT FStQTH tO Sdn TFdnCtSCO, She again met Fuller, but gay society life was not conducive to matri- mony and the society girl begged for more time before she settled down."
 Later. when the wedding date had been set, the bride elect met young Burmester, fascinating journalist, whom she married on brief acquaintance and later di- i vorced. Mir.

For the third successive year the Y. M. C. A. camp will be held at the Garden of Allah this year. This is made possible through the courtesy of Lebbaeus Chapman at the Vic Hanny company.
 The "Y" cabinet has been at work for more than a month on plans for the camp. It realized, owing to finan- cial conditions, that the expense would have to be cut to a minimum. so last years bills were carefully gone over and cuts made wherever possible, and some made where 1t didn't seem pos sible- AS a result, the expense to each boy will be $12.50 for a two weeks session, in contrast to the cost last year of $19-

The exodus of the dairy indus try of the Salt River valley and the subsequent urgent need of it's replacement call to mind the dan gers of re-estabIishing on other than a conservative, carefully planned basis. 1t is vital that mis- takes of the past must not be re- peated and that our new dairy in dustry must be rebuilt as rapidly as possible around high -produc- ing, healthy cows, abundantly yielding fields, good management, and economic marketing

In re-establishing the dairy industry in the Salt River valley it is to be hoped that the farmers will profit by some of the mistakes of the past All
 though very anxious to see dairying again the principal agricultural indus try of the valley, rather than to see the industry re- established on the basis on which it was first established, would prefer to see the farmers go into other lines of agriculture. Had dairying been established on business basis, the dairymen of the valley would have been making money and would not have been so easily attracted by the possibilities offered by cotton Un- less the industry is re-established on a sound basis, we may confidently look forward to a similar condition in the dairy industry of the valley within a few years.
