MUST MAINTAIN
PRESENT SCALE
STATE SCHOOL AUTHORITIES
ASSERT RURAL TEACHER SAL

Pierre, May 9.-That the prob
fort on the part of rural school
boards to decrease the salaries of all
rural teachers in South Dakota is q
serious one is proven by that fact
that there are fully 60 per cent few
er names placed on the records of
the stat eplacement bureau at this
time than on any similar date since
the bureau was established by the
legislative act of 1917.
This placement bureau, which is
under the supervision of the depart
ment of public instruction, is free
employment bureau where names
and qualifications of teachers want
ing positions are recorded and sup
piled to superintendents or those
who have charge of employing teach
ers. Usually there are about 400
names entered at the bureau.
The apparent lack of interest this
year indicates, in the opinion of c.
T. King, deputy state superintend-
ent of public instruction, that teach
ers either think it will be unneces-
sary to enroll in placement bureau
to secure either positions in South
Dakota next year or they have made
up their minds to go to other states,
where salaries are being held sta
tionary or increased rather than de-
creased.
South Dakota cannot at this
time afford to lower its teachers
salaries" Mr.. King declared in dis
cussing the subject According to
figures compiled by the Institute for
Public Service of New York, the
country is facing a shortage of the
right kind of teachers. Question
naires sent to colleges and normal
school by this organization show

To START ON
TAXATION BATTLE
SUPPORTERS AND OPPONENTS
OF THE SALES TAN ARE EN-
PECTED TO LOCK- HORNS
BEFORE WEEK END.

Washington, ID. c., May Sup
porters and opponents of the sales
tax will lock horns before the senate
finance committee this week
Upon the outcome of the argu-
ment before the committee may de
pend in large measure the fate Of
sales tax legislation. Failure to OBJ
tain favorable recommendation from
the senate finance committee will
mean that scarcely any chance re-
bains of the approval by congress of
a general sales tax. There is little
likelihood that the house ways and
means committee will favor, a sales
tax, hence the fate of the PROPOSE
tion rests larfely upon the action
which may be taken by the senate
committee.
Hearings starting tomorrow be-
fore the senate committee mark the
opening of the battle over tax legis-
lation at the present session of con-
gress The hearings are to be held
in advance of action by the house. al
though technically the legislation
must originate in the lower branch.
The program contemplates con
sideration of the chief controversial
points by the senate committee at
this time in order that its members
may be fully informed upon general
matters OF policy when the revenue
bill comes over from the house prob
ably in July.
Advocates of a sales tax will be
heard at tomorrow's hearing, while
opponents are scheduled for Tues
day. At Tuesdays hearing oppon-
ents of the sales tax will include r.
G.. Elliott, of Chicago, representing
the National association of Credit
Men.
Failure of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon to approve general
sales tax has given the movement a
setback.
Supporters of the proposition,
however, have by no means given up
the fight and believe their position
is strengthened rather than other
wise by the estimates of probable
revenue anu Cd o5
ted by Secretary Mellon.
The estimates of revenue under
the present law and also the esti-
mates of probable expenditures are
/ less favorable than was anticipated
with the result that the possibility
of repeating Objectionable taxes
without providing substitutes nc
| longer seems to exist. Because ot
1 this situation and the impossibility
of providing any substantial RELIEF
/ for small taxpayers under Secretary
Melons program for tax revision
/ the advocates of sales tax contend
/ that there is all the more reason fol
adopting an entirely new tax which
will yield a substantial amount oi
revenue Adoption of a general
sales tax, it is pointed out, offers
the only possible way of reducing
the normal tax on individual incom
es or increasing personal eXemp
| tions.

gesting two British proposals to the
United States.
"The first of these" the newspa-
per said, would be to make our po-
sition absolutely clear to the whole
American people and also to the peO-
pie of our own empire, declaring we
would not renew the Japanese alli-
ance, although, of course, we would
remain in perfect amity with Japan.
Next We should propose a naval con
vention wit hthe United States. We
should say to America:
"'You take over command of the
sea throughout the Pacific and carry
on the policing of it. Just as you
will be answerable for the Pacific,
SO we will have command of the
sea in the Atlantic. which means not
only all the north ern waters of Eu-
rope and the Mediterranean, but al
so the southern coasts of Africa "

PACKED HOUSE
HEARD GOLDEN
IRISH ORATOk SOLICITED NOR.
AL SUPPORT TO AMERICA
FOR IREIAND'S INDEPEND-
E<CE.

The high school auditorium was
silver tongued orator from New
York, delineated some important
history having a bearing on the
rights of self determination by the
Irish people.
Preceding the speakers great
preroration and introduction by II.
II. Holdridge a mixed quartet, con
sisting of Misses Lenora and Mabel
Johnson, rendered an appropriate
selection.
In substance Mr.. Golden stated as
follows:
The question of Ireland's relation
to England shows that Ireland's ma
tural resources are capable to TAX
ing care of 25,0O0,000 people or ov-
CT six times the present population,
The Irish question is not one bas-
ed on religious differences as usual
ly supposed. In the first place 81 per
cent of the Irish people voted for a
republic. Irish leaders who were
mainly Protestant were advocates of
indeendence, excepting, of course. a
very few
England always favored the Cath
Ollie element and during the world
conflict offered the Pope safe asy-
lum in their land. England had been
able TO get the ear of the vatican on
her side as against Catholic Ireland.
When Ireland was taken England
was a Catholic country yet the latter
prosecuted Catholic Ireland relent-
lessly.
Objections offered by this country
to interfering gave reminder OF
that time when we fought for inde-
pendence from the British crown.
Ireland today asks for no more than
today. She wants the moral support
and recognition of Americans in her
struggle towards self determination
enunciated by eX-President Wilson.
Our government was founded on
that principle and 10000 of our
young men now are inferred in
Defense of it.
All the way through the splendid
address sympathetic applause ind-
Gated the drift of sentiment here.
The talk made a strong appeal and
clear reasoning won the hearts of all
auditors. Peter Golden has Watson s
fiery zeal and Bryan's unmatched
eloquence.

BRITAIN NEVER

LANDS OVERSEAS DOMuN-
IONS WOULD NOT TOLER-
ATE ALLIANCE.

London, May British overseas
dominions would not tolerate an
Anglo-Japanese treaty having as its
object opposition to the United
States, declared the Weekly Specta-
tor today. The newspaper devoted
considerable space to a discussion OF
Anglo-American relations and Japan
and cited facts to show that an al
lance between England and Japan
was never meant, and never could be
used against America.
Blowing of the British empire in
to smithereens in a single instant
would be the result if we went to
war against America, not to support
some rights of our own, but in order
to help the Japanese" the newspa-
per continued. ''If the people OF
Australia and New Zealand were
asked on which side they were going
to be in war between America and
Japan, they would not hesitate a
second. They would not waste time
in reading diplomatic papers or con
sidering legal points. They would
say:
"'With our own flesh and blood
If the poor old mother country has
gone mad We cannot help it. He'll

@rhere could be only one place

America. While South Africans
would have the same answer"
The Spectator asserted one of the
reasons for continuing the alliance
with Japan had been the keeping o.
peace, to be able to help calm dowr
Japan's population, should it be
come excited on a point of honor.

HARDING PAYSv|S|T
WOUNDED SOLDIERS
PRESIDENT TELLS VETERANS
UNCLE SAM WILL PROVE HIS
GRATITUDE FOR SERVICES
RENDERED.

Washington, ID. c., May 9.-Presi-
dent Harding gave his pledge today
to the disabled soldiers at Walter
Reed hospital that the nation would
not fail in making them fit to en-
brace "the opportunity which is
yours" as citizens.
Accompanied by Mrs Harding and
Senator Underwood, the president
visited the hospital on the occasion
of an entertainment for wounded
soldiers arranged by the Alabama
society.
In expressing the wish that the
manned might be restored by the
wave of some magic wand, the presi-
dent declared that the next best
thing was for the republic to prove
its gratitude by restoring the SOL
diers to a condition in which they
might live as happily as possible
Il know this thought is in hearts
of the congress-" he continued, "and
can assure you that it is in the
heart of the executive, and, more,
know it is in the hearts of the peo-
ple."
AS one familiar through his faith
er, veteran of the civil war, with
the trials through which the south
passed and the division in the union
which it created, the president stat
ed it as his belief that in the half
century which has elapsed ''the
great scar has healed"
You soldiers from Alabama and
Ohio and the other forty-siX states
have succeeding in wiping il out. 4"
he exclaimed.
That there was no more sectional
ism in America now, he said, was
due to the fact that the people Of
Alabama wanted the same things as
the people of Ohio, and he added
that as chief executive he was resolv-
ed to regard America as whole.
After his address, the president
and Mrs. Harding shook hands with
several hundred soldiers. While
preparations were being made with
several delays for a flashlight pho
tograph of the group, the president
said smilingly: II was expecting a
| charge"
"And | was expecting a dis
charge" a private nearby replied.

PACKER BLAMES
THE PRODUCER
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL TO
CONTROL THE PACKING IN
DUSTRY.

Washington, d. c., May 9.-Fluc-
tuations in the live stock market are
largely due to the unscientific sys-
TEN employed by producers in mar
keting their products, and the real
trouble at the base of the whole
question is not so much a packers
problem as it is a producers prob
lem, Thomas E. Wilson, of Chicago,
president of the Institute of Ameri-
can Meat Packers, told the house
committee on agriculture today in
appearing in opposition to the Nor
ris-McLaughlin bill to control the
packing industry.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that legisla-
tion of the sort proposed would serve
to divert the largest single industry
in America from energetic efforts tC
adjust itself to a changed and diff
ficult situation. The result, he said
would be quite as harmful to the
live stock producers as to the pack
ing industry itself, as what is injur.
ious to one Is bound to prove harm.
full to the other.
The ris-McLaughlin bill, Mr.
Wilson declared, does not deal with
or solve the economic problems ol
the producing or consuming public
He added that by delegating radica
and revolutionary powers to a com
mission it would set up form Of
governmental despotism over private
business which would be destructive
to private initiative and individual
enterprise. He asserted that the in
dustry already was supervised ant
regulated by more laws than an!
other industry in the country.
Mr.. Wilson declared other indus
tries were making much greater
profits than the meat men. During
1920, he said, the five larger pack
ers averaged profit of about 1!
cents on each animal slaughtered b!
them and that about 81 per cent o
every dollar received by the packer
went to live stock producers.
