MENACE TO SCHOOLS
Legislature Must Act Quickly
to Save Them. Says Prof.
Bakewell of Yale.
PROBLEM IN FINANCES

Special Despatch to THE New YoRx HrRAID-
NEW HAVEN, sConn., Feb. 12.-Con-
necticuts schools. particularly in the
rural districts. are in serious condition
and it Is imperative that some action be
taken to save them. according to Prof.
Charles NJ. Bakewell OF. Yale, member OF
the State Senate and chairman Of the
Committee on Education. In state
nient to the Yale student body to-day
Prof. Bakewell pointed out the reforms
needed In education In the State and
outlined the work to be done along that
line during the winter session OF the
LEGISLATURE. He said:
"The fundamental problem of the Leg
islature is to make ends meet Ever
since June 1918, the expense of running
the Government has been increasing. cx-
ceeding the income received 10 such an
extent that in three years time, esti-
mating to June next, the State credit
balance of over half million will have
been turned into State debt exceeding
Sc. 100000. When everything possible
has been done in the way OF introducing
eCOHOlllltS lliiOu6h illOlc PiONiNSHs %,'~N@~
ods of expenditures OF moneys appro-
priated, and through the coordination,
the consolidation and reorganization OF
departments, It will probably still be
necessary to seek new sources OF rev.
enue, even to maintain the existing State
institutions.
'It Is going to be hard TO get through
the Legislature any measure that calls
for additional appropriations, however
meritorious they may be. Nevertheless.
there are sorne such measures that must
be passed. II is imperative that some
action be taken to save the schools
which are in a serious condition. par
ticularly In the rural districts, where.
with the inadequate compensation, 1t Is
all but impossible to obtain teachers OF
any kind. The country schools not only
must be maintained, but they should
give the children of the rural districts
opportunities that approximate those
given the children in the cities.
"The time was when we were proud
OF our little red schoolhouse. 1t was
the safeguard OF our liberties. II now
the country school Is to be a mere
shadow of its old self, or to disappear
altogether, we shall be confronted with
the alternative of deserted farms or q
coming generation OF illiterRe peasan-
try-an intolerabIe dilemma. Nor are
our country schools the only ones in
need Of help.

LONDON JobLESS
DEMAND WORK
Women, With Babies in Arms,
Join Men in Holding Huge
Demonstration.
BATTLE 1 WITH POLICE.
After Being Forbidden to Meet in
Trafalgar Square the Crowd Began
Hurting Bottles and Stonee-
II Taken to Hospital.

London-What the police charac-
terize as the biggest demonstration Of
unemployed ever known in London
took place when ten thousand work
less, including hundreds of women,
some of them carrying babies, as
sembled on the Thames embankment
and marched to Trafalgar square.
Finding that closed to them, they
marched to Hyde Park, where
speeches were made demanding work
or maintenance.
Harry Costing, one Of the foremost
labor leaders, speaking before the Lon.
don county council, said: -.
"The labor leaders are on the brink
of losing control of the unemployed.
Unless the unemployment question is
settled, there is bound to be a row, not
only in London, but all over the coun.
try"
Police Interfere.
After leaving the Hyde Park sec
ton, the demonstrators tried to renew
the meeting in Trafalgar Square,
where demonstrations are forbidden,
except on Sundays, owing to inter
ference with traffic. The police were
prepared and prevented the demon
stration, but the crowd scattered
about the square from which it was
driven by the mounted police down
Northumberland avenue. Here por-
ton Of the crowd threw bottles and
stones, injuring several of the police.
An attempt also was made to rush the
Grand hotel. The police prevented
this, and the crowd, after smashing a
big window in the hotel, moved toward
the Hotel Victoria, where demands for
food were shouted.
Order Is Restored.
The police, using their clubs, again
drove the people onward, and much
scuffling followed between the rioters
and the police, but the latter were so
numerous and we'll prepared that
trouble did not develop seriously. Soon
the demonstrators were scattered in
all directions. and order was restored.
Fourteen rioters were treated at the
Charing Cross hospital, chiefly for
scalp wounds, and one for a broken
leg. Traffic was held up for consid.
cradle time, and many shops hastily
put up their shutters.

Lorena Residents Draft Resolution Up
holding Khan and Lays Blame
for 1Ioodshed OF Shcrih's
Posse,

Waco, Texas-F. B. Tierey, county
attorney, refused the demand Of COM
mittee of 100 Lorena citizens that he
file complaints against Sheriff Bob
Buchanan and Deputy Sheriff Burton,
in connection with Saturday nights
fight at Lorena between parading
knights of the Ku Klax Khan and a
sheriff's posse. Ten men were wound
ed in the ARRAY. The sheriff, a police
man and third man may die.
County Attorney Tierey declared
that the grand jury here will be called
to investigate the incident and that
pending it's action he will take no
steps In the matter beyond an inves-
tigation by his department for evil
dence for submission to the grand
jury.
Resolution Is Drafted.
J. D. Willis, attorney, acting as
spokesman for the Lorena delegation,
charged that the sheriff and his depu-
ties precipitated 'promisc1o Gus shoot
ing and cutting ARRAY, which endan-
gered the lives of Lorena men. women
and children"
p Following the meeting with the
county attorney, the Lorena citizens
drew up the following resolution, sign
ed by 200 additional Lorena citizens,
and submitted it to local newspaper
for publication.
I'VE, the undersigned citizens Of
Lorena and vicinity, deplores the
tragedy that was enacted in our little
town.
I'VE grieve for the blood that was
spilled. But in order that the world
may know the facts, we desire to
make public the following statement:
I'VE do not believe that the mem
bers of the Ku Klux Khan who staged
the parade violated any law or that
they had any intention of violating
any law.
I'VE attempted to prevail on the
sheriff of this county and his deputies
through the medium of representative
citizens to permit the parade to be
held, guaranteeing that it would be
law abiding and orderly.

rade to accede to the sheriff's demands
that two of the paraders should be un-
masked.
I'VE implored the sheriff not to
jeopardize the lives of our women and
children.
I'VE unequivocally place the blame
for the shedding of blood on the
sheriff.
I'VE conclude by affirming our be-
lief in the preservation of America for
Americans and by Offering tribute to
the little band of men who showed by
their calm and determined action that
their lives supported this principle"
The third statement in the resolu-
ton contradicted the assertion Of
Sheriff Buchanan Saturday night when
brought to hospital here to the effect
that the masked men would not un-
mask.

EXEMPTION CLAUSE

A feature Of the tax bill which has
been widely discussed in the press
is the exemption Of persons and cor
porations from taxation 80 per cent OF
whose incomes are derived from bust
ness done abroad. The manner in
which this provision will work out has
been cleaI)y forecasted by Representa-
tive Beck rep, Wis.) as follows:
"Another provision of this bill
which seems indefensible to me is
that which exempts those persons and
corporations from taxation 80 per cent
of whose incomes are derived from
business done in foreign countries. A
very plausible reason was offered for
this exemption. 1t is said that it was
done to place our own citizens on an
equal footing with citizens of other
countries in developing foreign
trade. But here is what
will happen. The railroad Off
Gals and their security holders have
taught some of our captains Of indus
try great lesson. They have been
organizing subsidiary companies, whose
stock is owned by railroad officials
and railroad security holders, for the
manufacture and repair Of cars and To-
comotives and have been taking this
class Of work out Of shops owned by
the stockholders of the railroads and
placing it in these subsidiary compan-
les at four and FIVE times what it cost
to do this work in the railroad shops,
and in this way they have been bleed
ing the public Of millions and millions
Of dollars. Failing to bleed the public
of still more millions, they are coming
in here with bill next week that will
enable them to reach over into the
Treasury and take out $500, 100000
more.
'Now, what will happen under this
bill? Why, the tanners, the manufac-
turers Of farm machinery, the coal
barons, the makers Of boots and shoes,
the grain buyers, the Tobacco Trust,
the millers and dozens Of others will
form subsidiary companies to sell
goods in foreign countries and will not
pay cents tax on the millions they
will probably make. They will pay
nothing for the service Uncle Sam
renders them in affording them the OPP
portunity to make money abroad.'
