MANY TO TAKE EXAMINATION
Date of Diploma Exam This Year Is
Uncertain

1t is expected that 500 will write
on the county diploma examination
this spring in Dickinson, according
to Miss Mary d. Woolverton, coun-
ty superintendent. Last year TIT
took the examinations and that
number was considered unusually
large.
The date Of the examination this
year Is uncertain. The state SUPER
intendent changed 1t to make it con-
form to school needs and the county
superintendent at their state meet
ing questioned her authority to do so.
They attempted to fix the date but
under their plan it would often have
fallen on Decoration day and have
involved as much confusion as 1t does
at present. This, Miss Woolverton
pointed out and suggested that a
resolution be submitted to the legis-
laure requesting that the state super
intendent be given authority to set
the date. The suggestion was act
ed on and consequently the day on
which the examinations fall this
spring depends on the action Of the
legislature.

Armistice Day Loses

The senate yesterday killed the
house bill establishing November II
as Armistice Day and making 1t q
legal holiday. The bill was one OF
the first passed by the house and once
before was up In the senate. After
putting In some amendments pro-
viding that It would not be legal
holiday for schools or for legal In
struments, the senate yesterday de-
cided to kill the entire measure.
A motion to shelve all farm ten
antry legislation was lost in the house
but the tip Is that Governor Allen
will not try to do anything along
that line this session.
conrmission For Counties
The most important proposition yet
submitted to the 1921 legislature
slipped into the house hopper yes
terday morning, almost unnOticed. 1t
was a concurrent resoltion, introduc-
ed by Representative Ralph Snyder,
of Jefferson, county designed to re-
move the constitutional objections to
the commission form Of government
in counties.
It provides for submission to the
people at the next election, of con-
stiutional amendment, which would
permit counties to adopt this system
Of government. That would permit
the next legislature to enact laws un-
der which such q plan could be put
into operation.
The county officers lobby will
flock to Topeka in force when the
purport of this resolution becomes
known. As one observed said yes
terday afternoon, there will be 105
sheriffs, 105 county clerks and prac-
tically 105 Of every other county
officeholder here to protest Its pass
age"
Representative Snyder is sure his
resolution will he paSSed, he said.
