FIGHTING 1T OUT.

Under the title, "You Can't Kee
a Squirrel on the Ground" the A
lanta Georgian has the following ed
torial:
Are we downhearted? Are
we pessimistic? Are we quit
ters-we Georgians? Has the
time arrived when we incline to
throw up the sponge and call it a
= battle lost?
The governor of the common
wealth doesn't think so. And>he
has been visiting around and
about among the people rather
extensively of late.
For weeks, he has been look
ing in on the many county fairs
throughout the State, meeting
the people, face to face; talking
to them, heart to heart-getting
their views, the best and the
worst of it.
Governor Hardwick finds that
the people of Georgia-the ru->
raj people, which is fourffths
of Georgia-have been pretty
hard hit of late months. They
haven't much money on hand;
and not all of their debts are
paid. They caQ tell long and
moving tales of untoward for
tune and even distress. But, for
the most part, they don't.
They do not make light of
their misfortunes and hardships;
they're there: and they are TAX
en- into consideration. But their
eyes are hopefully upon the
glad tomorrow, nevertheless.
They are buckling down to
hard work; and they are antici-
pating better and happier days
ahead, They are not grieving
over split milk nearly so much
as they are contemplating
paying supply before long.
That's what the governor has
found to be the state of mind of
the average Georgian. And may
God bless him and keep him. He
may die, but he never sprrend-
ers-and he's feeling we'll
enough nowadays to suspect he.
isn't going to die, either, not by
a long shot!
There is a whole lot in this whic
we might learn with profit and prat
tice with more profit. Especial
might we put into practice that pal
of the editorial which says of tn
Georgians "They are buckling dow
to hard work." Good hard work
what it is going to take to cure tn
errors and misfortunes from whic
we are now suffering. Good har
work at the same tine will keep ou
minds off the hardships attendin
our present condition. Then le

CALIFORNIA EDUCATOR
COMPLIMENTS JUDGE BENET
Enthusiasm Aroused by Fundamen
tai and Worth While Things in
His Address.

Judge w. y. Benet mas received
the following letter:
A few days ago your son, Sam NJ.
Benet, did me the honor to send me
a pamphlet copy of your address
before the graduating class Of the
Abbeville, S. c., High School and the
reading of it afforded me so much
pleasure and genuine satisfaction
that l asked him for your post office
address, that I might send you a
personal assurance of my high ap-
probation of the noble thoughts you
brought to the attention of these
young people as we'll as the most ad-
mirable style of this presentation.
Having given my entire life to
educational interests in California,
since my graduation in 1867 from
Furman University, in Greenville, S.
c., can fully appreciate the import
ance of the occasion on which your
excellent message was delivered, and
have been frequently called upon to
perform a similar service. But my in
terest and enthusiasm has been
strongly aroused by the fervor and
manifest sincerity in which you en-
forced the things that are fundamen~
tai and worth while to that group of
youths at SO critical period of their
educational development.
Especially inspiring is it to read
your commentator of the history of
our noble old state, the virtues and
high principles for which its people
have ever stood; especially those men
who have left. their impress upon
both the State and the nation and
those women who have made the
name of South Carolina a synonym
of virtue, courtesy and hospitality.
l have often had occasion in this
splendid western country to speak of
the social and political conditions of
the South, previous to the Civil war,
as civilization sui generis; and it
does me good to follow in your ad-
dress the footsteps of that manly dig
nifty and sense of honor with which
my recollections of Carolina citizen
ship are always associated.
Though a loyal and devoted citi-
zen of California for more than a
half century, I can never forget the
teachings and the example of those
men of culture, refinement and schol-
arship who directed the institutions
Of learning in the old Palmetto State
and who made and executed her, laws.
had friends and schoolmates from
Abbeville in the State Military Acad-
emy at Charleston and in Furman
University at Greenville, and I should
like to send my greetings to the
grand children of these friends now
doubtless comprising portion of the
High School classes of that commu-
nifty.
I trust they will prove true des-
cendants of a noble ancestry and
perpetuate the principles for which
:heir fathers stood.
Very respectfully,
Melville Dozier.

SCHOOL FINANCES

Al O DOUBT az The determination Of the people Of New Mexico TO
in maintain adequate schools and az their Willingness to provide
proposal 70 place o limit on school taxes in the constitution. The ma
jority against The amendment was 50 large rs 20 prove the desire Of
the people 10 leave school authorities free to 20 the limit necessary to
maintain good shoos in every county.
The wisdom OF the popular decision seems about to receive a
speedy demonstration JIM the fact, which we have from the educational
suditor. that a number Of the counties. our own included, will find
il necessary folesy mp to h mills for school maintenance for the COM
ing fiscal year. That IL the limit under the existing statute.
It appears that IN recent years a number OF counties have not had
sufficient funds TO meet their school budgets either through failure
TO collect the taxes levied, or through failure 10 make a levy sufficient
to meet the bills. or both. n appears that there are now outstanding
warrants to a total OF upward Of $4,000 against five or six eounties
whch'are unpaid because there are no funds in the school treAsuries
with which to pay them, that these warrants can only be paid out OF
so due is TO- teaehers who either iloid these warrants " who have dis.
counted them w ~ f1t = H
such a condition cannot be allowed foieohtinue. A school teacher
is entitled 10 be paid the fun amount Of the contract wage, not in a
aRanst which such outstanding warrants exist should take steps to
pay them The Bstemna law forbids a county from using a current
year sfunds to pay bills Of former year, but it does not forbid school
districts 20 pay their debts t4{
Increased school taxes will not be pleasant TO bear in the immedi-
ate future. The increase. however, will not be without beneficial
results H. encourages us 70 take a more active interest in local school
administration throughout the state, because this will have a very
healthy influence in increasing efficiency and curbing extravagance
or unnecessary expenses. H
There will be a far better understanding of school finance
throueouf New Mexico year from now than at present The state
department of edneafion has no control over local OF county school
expenditures Creation by the last legislature of the office of educa-
in a very short time exactly where We stand in the matter Of school
finance and the requirements for school maintenance. With that
knowledge we will know a lot more about what kind of a limitation
should be placed on school taxes N
In the meantime two big tasks are before us. Ng
One is the rehsus showing Of 116 per cent Of iRiteraey which
must be wiped cut
The other is providing the money with which to do that job quick
" and ihorcnghy--and without waste or Extravaganza.

while the value of the imports from Mexico show a decline of "a per

the general export trade shows a heavy fall, the total value Of exports

third that II August of last year. at

represent the actual increases in quantities Of merchandise sent her,
