ADEQUATE SALARIES FOR
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS

By a majority Of over 100000,
the voters OF California On Novem
Der 2, 1920, passed a constitutional
amendment that makes mandatory,
proper provision for salaries of pub

makes possible a very definite tax,
one directly proportional to the
growth of the schools. This forward
looking measure provides that there

funds for school purposes, ar amount
not less than $50 per pupil per year

elementary and high schools, and
that the counties raise in addition an

PROMINENT MERIDIAN
 CITIZEN DROPS DEAD

Meridian. Miss, October 22.-tSpe- cial.)--H. Dick Thornton. age about s1, one of the best known citizens of Meridian. dropped dead while seated In his automobile, just as he was preparing to leave his home for his office today. Heart trouble Is said to have been the cause of death. De- ceased was local representative of te New York Life Insurance company for many years. Tn his early man. hood he was passenger conductor on the A. & V. railroad, and later trainmaster for the same road. Re- tiring from the railroad service, he established a livery and transfer business in Meridian until he finally entered the insurance business. He was prominent in fraternal order tild religious circles. being a Mason of high degree and . member and leader in the Herbert B. Watkins Memorial Methodist church. He is survived by his widow; two daughters. Misses Annie L. and Mattie Thornton. and q son, Clark Thornton. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon.

the Spaniards and their ungratefnl wards. the Riffs. This war Is so dis tasteful even to the Spaniards that
 the government has been obliged to
 pick up recruits in New York. in Lon
 con and everywhere else where uh employment has driven men to accept
 any job rather than starve. The quality of the army so gathered to-
 sether in Spain and abroad has led
 humorists to call the fray the war between the Riffs and the Raffs
 So far as one can apply the prin- ciples of the lamented World war to
 the present affair, it appears that the Riffs are struggling for self-de- termination. The Raffs. on the other hand, are fighting for four pesetss q day. The Riffs seom to have justice
 on their side but the Raffs have the biz guns and the betting is in their favor.
 Spain has never succeeded in get ting any net revenue out Of the Riff country, but certain Spanish conces- sionaries have been luckier. The way the thing seems destined to work out
 Is that the Spanish government will pay the expenses. including salaries of the Raff army, and the conces- sionaires will repay the government with gratitude.
 It IS perhaps not surprising that the average Spanish taxpayer who doesn't happen to own any oonces- sions Is not wildly enthusiastic about the affaif--not to the extent of shoul- dering a gun. at any rate.

Selma, October 22.--(Special) A state coon hunters association, with R. J. Goode, Jr.. of Gaston- burg as president, and a number of prominent Seimians as charter members, Is in process of forma- ton and will within few weeks be a going organization. There are known to be thousands of loy- al and enthusiastic coon hunters over the state who have long felt the urge" to get together. to have trial hunts" and to test those artful dodgers of the woods. those artfu dodgers of the woods. It Is known that there are sew erai thousand coon-dogs In the state, each believed by It's proud owner to be in class by itself.
 Mir. Goode has received numl Der of acceptances from lovers of the sport to join the association and many are expressing eager- ness to have the first meeting and perfect the details of the or ganization. It is pointed out that the fox hunters are organized and have their annual gatherings and that the interest in this elusive animal does not compare with that which prevails about the raccoon. Among the prominent Selmians who have signified their interest In the movement for a state association are John Blake, II. c. Armstrong, W. E, Morrison and others.

 The Community Girls club had on demonstration their work and showed that they had given much time and thought, as well as energy to their work. Not only were vegetables on exhibition. but poultry as we'll.
 Quite a number of the farmers of the community had their products on exhibition.
 Rev. H. H. Buzbee, pastor of Good- water Baptist church, made an in- teresting and instructive talk at the opening of the days exercises. Mrs. Vickers is the principal of this school and is doing a splendid work flor the community. Prof. O. K. Welden, county superintendent of education, made an address. MT. Gray, Rev. !. C.

thing else besides mere legal prece- dent when they reached their de- cision.
 In view of this, what becomes of the League of Nations and it's famous economic pressureT' The allied gov ernments, who have made a great bother about ostracizing Greece for her temerity In re-electing Constan tine to the throne. and who at the same time control the league, could, presumably. if they needed any legal justifications, find them in the cove nant. So far as the naked. undiplo- matic eye can see. everybody. incluu- ing the Greeks and Turks. would be the great gainers--excepting, of course, Messrs. Schneider and their English competitors.
 Another Suggestion
 Or another thing that might be done--if suggestions are wanted: Why not let the Germans make the arms for the near eastern war and sell them to the beiligereants on con dition that the proceeds be turned over the allies on separations ac- count? Tn this way the allied gov erpments--instead of private firms would reap the benefit and at ths ss me time the sacred precedent wouli 
 to prohibit the French and English firms shipping arms-Germanys low CT prices would quickly get her the |ibulk of the trade.
 Lest this suggestion be considered ''pro German" it should be remarked tiat Germany would get no advan- tage from the deal except the advan- tage of getting her reparations deht paid off more promptly. It could easily be stipulated that the muni- tions should be delivered without profit to the manufacturers.
 But the suggestion need be taken seriously by no one, since 1t cer- tainly will not be so taken by the allied premiers. Nor was 1t offered In good faith. but merely as an aid to demonstrating that the war In A sia Minor is simply munitions ma . kers war, If there ever was one.

 of this advantage. British arms manufacturers are doing a tidy busi- ness in keeping that untidy war go- ing. Some people may remember tha | during the August supreme council meeting in Paris, Messrs. Lloyd George and Briand agreed that the Greco-Turk war was to be deblored, but that private manufacturers wouli be permitted to sell armaments 10 both sides
 That was about the only thing they did agree on at the meeting.
 It was pointed out that any other ruling would set dangerous prece- dent. It was only the application Of this principle of freedom to sell arni- aments that served the allies in the World war. or at least such as the general supposition. It Is true that some economists hold otherwise--that it was buying arms from America while their own factories and work men were largely occupied in making luxuries and essentials that plunged the allied nations over their ears in debt.
 Munitions Makers Win
 However that may be, the plain fact remains that the war in, the near east could not go on. except per haps on a bush league scale. with out western arms. And another plain fact is that thus far nobody seems to have got much advantage out of the war except the manufacturers of the said arms One is at least entitled to suspect that Messrs.
