RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WILL LOSE STATE MONEY
UNLESS LAWS ARE CHANGED

Unless the special session of Gar
Lloyd's caucus which is to be called by
Governor Hyde about May Is to meet
around June ! includes some change in
the law relating to state aid for weak
rural school districts receiving aid in
the state will be scarce and far be-
| tween.
The statute providing aid for weak
rural schools which was enacted dur
ing the Major administration provid-
ed that all school districts in the state
having an assessed valuation of $780,
600 that voted 65 cent levy should
receive state aid.
Under this act many districts in the
state were permitted to have an eight
months term of school because of the
money appropriated for this purpose
by the state.
Assessment Of property in the state
at its "actua" value has brought
about condition that there are but
few districts in the state able to quail
ify under the law by reason of thSfact
that the valuation is over $4,000.
Complaints are coming to state of
ficers from all sections of Missouri
concerning this change in the law
which will work quite hardship on
many school districts of the state.
The opinion prevails here thaa the
failure of Governor Hyde and other
Republican state officials to take such
matters into consideration is only typ
ical of their accomplishments of the
regular session of the General Assem-
bly, which has become known as Car
Lloyd's Caucus.
Those familiar with state affairs
say that just as little thought was
given the consolidation bills which the
Governor is endeavoring to foist upon
the people of the state regardless of
the fact that the cost will be more
than a million dollars than the same
departments during the administra-
Jon of Governor Gardner.

THE AFTERMATH OF
THE GREAT WAR

What has become of the enhancing

was painted in such alluring colors

sured the Germans that they didn't
win it. AS we all know, the Germans
have been quite confident that they
did. They have not been the only
claimants by any means, but they
have probably been the most needful.

many ended; but judging by the notes
Mr.. Hughes is and is not sending the
Germans, that is about as far as Our
own and Germany's notions of what
happened agree.
The oil people seem to be doirg
better. Confident that they won the
election, they have received some
slight admission that this was the
case in the treaty with Colombia,
which we are told has oil all over it.
Whether that admission is to go so
far as to color our Mexican policy is
not indicated. If it does, | cannot see
any hope of successfully disputing the
claim of the oil people that they did
win the election.
However, this does not by any
means exhaust the list of claimants.
There are the farmers, the open shop
people and the usual vested interests,
three powerful groups each of which
is just as sure it won the election as
either the Germans or the oil people
are. Let US hope we shall never have
another election like it. In close
election we always know at once who
won it, but a majority of more than
100000 votes results in so many
claimants that there is almost no end
to it.

tween the cost of the consolidation
scheme and the cost of the same bu-
reaus for the last two years, taking
the figures used by the Governor in
his st. Louis speech, we must ascer-
tain the difference between $685.
658, the actual cost for the next two
years, and $1,452,248, the cost of the
same bureaus under the last two years
of the Gardner administration, which
shows that Governor Hyde's scheme
for the next two years, even accord
ing to his own statements, will cost
81 1924, 210 more than the existing ar
rangement cost under the last two
years Of the Democratic administra-
ton.
No one guarantees these figures,
because they come from Governor
Hyde. The Governor appears to be
incapable of giving the tax payers of
Missouri the facts. 1t is plain, how
ever, that the Governor has not over
stated the cost of these respective
bureaus, so we may safely assume
that the Democratic Referendum
Committee understated the excess Of
cost of the consolidation scheme, when
they placed it at 100000, If we are
to follow Governor Hyde, the cost is a
quarter of a million over the sum
stated by the Referendum Committee.
