ONE YEAR OF CONSOLIDATION.
tBy Sut. X. A. Shanner.l


Ono year ago the consolidation
movement with Holly as the cen.
tral school was begun. Previous
to this time consolidation had been
discussed but no definite steps had
been taken until the school auth.
critics decided to abandon the
Beet Ranch and Jordan schools and
bring the children in to the central
school at Holly. The patrons OF the
two outlying districts had been con
suited in the mstter and were pleas.
ed with the opportunity to send
their children to the town school.
In April the directors of the Am.
lty school met with the Board of
District No. 6 and after discussion
of the consolidated movement decid-
ed to call an election together with
the local district for the purpose
of voting on the consolidation of
the two districts. The election re-
: suited favorably and the initial at
tempt Mt consolidation begun.
The state school lGw provides that
following consolidation the direct.
ors may csll an election for the pur-
pose of voting bond to provide ad:
ditional room and school buses for
transportation Purposes. This was
not necessary owing to the financial
condition Of the new district and
school busses valued at $4,000
we're purchased and paid for. Need.
ed improvements were made at the
Rockwell school.
Through out the school year other
adjoining districts became interest
ed in our consolidated movement
and few weeks ago elections were
held in three gljoining districts and
in each case the majority was for
the favor of the movement. Prof,
&. G. Sargent OF the State Agricnl-
turel College who is an authority
on the movement Of consolidation
decdxres that the movement at Hol'
" Is unique In that it is the only
district in the state where consoll-
dation has been accomplished with
out serious objection.
Thus within the year there has
been added SO sqnare miles OF terri
tory to the district giving Holly a
district of 95 square miles. This in
cludes about 8 square miles OF ter
ritory from district No. 80 which Is
to be set in by the county superin'
tendent. This makes the district
practically square with Holly in the
center. The valuation which has
been added to the district amounts
to 1887 $1,000. This gives valua'
ton unit to the consolidation dis.
trict large enough to provide all the
modern facilities of educEtion with
out burden Of taxation as far as
the schools are concerned. Above
all the country boys and girls are
given an equal opportunity with
the students residing in the cities
That our school expense h2s not
been materially increased is evidenc
ed by the fact that the levy Is nov
only 9.4 mills for common schoo
purposes which is lower than the
school levy OF any town or city dis
trict between the state line anc
Pueblo.
In keeping with a general salsr.
increase which was met at Holly a.
well as other places the financia
condition of the district is good
and the new consolidated district Il
one of the strongest financially II
the stste.

WITHDRAWAL OF
POST OFFICES
Conducted by Foreign Govern

continued, According to
Committee Report.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The with
drawal of foreign postof1ices in China
was formally agreed to today by the
Far Eastern committee of the Wash
ington Arms conference. A resolution
will be drafted by the committee and
presented to the conference.
The question of the abolition of
extra territorial rights which have
been agreed to. was not considered
today by the nine nations who are
most directly interested in the Far
Eastern Questions.
The matter of the withdrawal OF
foreign postoffices in China have not
been definitely settled but from the
opinions expressed by the represen-
tatives of the various nations it is
evident there will be no objection to
this procedure.

Washington, Now 06--A confirm

II WAS indicated further that as a

results of the negotiations here might
be submitted for approval not es1y to

THE REDUCTION
OF ARMAMENTS
W|LLNOT ALLOW
EXPRESSED DIVERSION
For Other Purposes Says Con-
gresham Fess as Many Sup
pose. Sixty Seven Per Cent
of Cost is for Past Wars, and
Only % Per Cent for Fu-
ture Wars, He Said.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The con-
templated saving of millions of dol
lars, will result in n large number Of
freak bills of legislation designed to
divert this money into other chan
nels was the statement made today by
Representative Fess Chairman of the
Republican Congressional Commit
tee.
He said that Congress will have to
be on the alert for this freak legisla
tion. aimed at sums which are sup
lposed will be saved as the result of
a reduction in armaments From ev-
cry where will come demands for
slpce of the money, which would not
be saved. The fact that 81 percent OF
the total federal revenues for arm
aments is expended for past wars and
that only twenty three per cent is
expended for future wars, will dis
close the fact that in order to get
the country out of debt as quickly
as possible a rigid policy of economy
must continue.
