FIGHT ON
OIL DUTY
RESUMED
Friends Of Import Tax
On Crude Product In
wade Senate After
Losing In House

Washington, Dec. 29-The fight
for an import duty on crude oil,
lost in the house, was renewed to-
day before the senate finance COM
mittee, but with proponents not
agreed as to the rate desired.
Senator Harreld, republican,
Oklahoma, opposed the rates pro-
posed by Senator Curtis, republi-
can, Kansas, 35 cents barrel on
crude and rs cents on fuel oil.
Harry H. Smith of Tulsa, Okla,
speaking for the Continental
Oil & Gas association, urged a
rate Of 81 a barrel on crude and
w. H. Gray of Tulsa, speaking for
the National Association of Inde-
pendent Oil Producers, urged that
American producers be put on
equal footing with those in Mexi-
co, Colombia and Venezuela.
Mr.. Gray said there should be
provision in the tariff law that
"the duty of oil should equal the
combined import and export taxes
placed on petroleum by the coun-
tries exporting same to the U1ited
States"
Senator Smoot, republican,
Utah, indicated his opposition to
a tariff that would shut Mexican
oils of the American market. Mr..
Smith replied it was not the pur-
pose to prohibit imports but to
prevent dumping Of oil into the
United States. He denied that the
purpose of the tariff was to in
crease the prices to domestic con-
sumers and said also that a duty
ought not to increase the price Of
gasoline.
Mr.. Gray in the course OF his
testimony said: 1.-THE industry in
the Mid Continent field has been
from 20 per cent to IS per cent
shut down this year"

day entered a phase of its negotia-
tions which will determine wheth-
er it IS to be successful in impos-
ing limitations on any class of war
craft except capital ships.
The immediate proposal before

On this proposition and ON propos-

the American delegation now pins
its hope. of amplifying the capital
ship agreement but to which
France yesterday attached a reser-

ican delegation, for limiting sub

indicated that no agreement on
that feature was in sight.

titude is even more important than
the knowledge, for this may come
with experience if the attitude is
right. In helping to bring about the
proper attitude, we place self govern
ment and class organizations among
the students in a high place. If re-
sponslbility is placed upon the student
even for the control of himself he
does not often disappoint you. He
fcels that he is doing his duty be-
cause nc has the manhood to do it
without compulsion and often even
the worst students respond to dis
clpline of this kind better than anv
ether. Then sometimes it is a good
thing to let the student body admin
lster discipline upon one of it's own
members this helps both the punished
and those who have to feel the burden
of hf1ictlng the punishment. 1t
comes near to life after school and
makes the students think
Education should also fit one for
some special kind of work. For this
reason the larger schools are more
nearly fulfilling their mission alonp
this line than the smaller ones
Manual training, domestic science
agriculture, and similar subjects are
rev taught with good results even in
inc High Schools. In order to have
these. things, the school must meet
cc'tam requirements and for this rea-
son we are deprived of then,-be-
c':uSc we are so small that we cannot
afford these things from the financial
standpoint. This makes it necessary
II we want these things, for us to ret
together and build larger and strong
er schools.
There are too many little one or two
teacher schools in our county. Let's
get them together, unite their forces
oulid larger, stronger schools and
make the largest possible dcvelop-
ment along the lines that our child
ren need to have them made. The ad-
Vantagcs are all for the united or con

the matter is approached honestly
With view to doing the best we can
FOR our children. Let me outline
or1efi ySome of the advantages gained
in consolidated schools:
J.. Increased financial ability bv

better buildings, better equipment.
z. Longer terms Of school can be

regularly may be had in the sessions.
8: Better teachers, with larger OK.
perience can be employed and held
for longer time.
d. A teacher to the grade means
better teaching, more individual atten
non and better results.
