THE BOND ISSUE ELECTION.

On tomorrow, January %, the citizens of Grenada will be
called upon to say whether or not they favor issuing seventy
five thousand dollars in bonds for the erection of another school
building in Grenada.
Z AS is generally known, this same question was passed upon
IN June, we believe it was, 1920, but owing to the financial con-
dluOn of the country those bonds could not be sold at par. How
ever, at that election the proposition was for $125, 900. in bonds,
but since that date, it has evidently been decided to spend less,
and furthermore, it will be recalled that the City Council took
action without an election for the issuance of $25, 900 in bonds
which can, and no doubt will be, used towards the erection of
the other building, should this issue carry. So as a matter of fact,
the proposed investment in the new building is only $4,000 less
than was at first proposed.
The matter has been thoroughly discussed and the citizen
ship of Grenada should be. and no doubt are, thoroughly &C
ton. The school situation is the same now as when the first cleo
ton, was held, June, 1920.
We have heard some intimatiOn that, instead of erecting an
entirely new building, the school authorities might add on to
the present building, that is, build another structure around that
one. In that event, new plans would have to be adopted. But
this would save quite a good deal and most probably the new
building could be completed for $4,000.
Our individual opinion is that it was a mistake to order the
election now for several reasons, chief of which is that we doubt
in which event the same situation would confront the authori-
ties that confronted them in trying to dispose Of the last issue.
Business conditions are improving, but it is seriously doubtful
that municipal bonds of a town of Grenada's size will sell any
better now than a year ago.
There can be no question about this fact: If the Grenada
school IS to keep pace with what the school experts demand and
what many other towns have, then there can be no question
about needing more room. One of the main things that is
hoped for in the new building is to install a department of COM
school, and a very large per cent of them never go to college,
without any business training whatever.
The school trustees have a card on another page of The
Sentinel In which they discuss the proposed bond issue. Read 1t.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE
CITY OF GRENADA

On Saturday, January 2S, you will
be given another opportunity to vote
for additional public school facilities
for the children of Grenada.
This election was ordered at the un-
animous request of the Board of Trus-
tees of the City of Grenada. The
Board was prompted by no selfish or
mercenary motive whatever but solely
because conditions demand that the
children in our public school be given
more school room and the absolutely
necessary facilities these children do
not now have.
The Board of Aldermen was asked
to call this election as early as posi-
BILE that there be no delay with the
opening of the schools for next SEES
sion. The Board of Trustees has
taken no steps as to place, plan. or
extent or content of new building.
Any report to the contrary is errone-
Gus and without foundation. We
await the result of bond election be-
fore taking any further steps what
ever.
We urge every voter of Our city in
the name and for the sake of our
children to vote for this bond issue.
The reasons for it are numerous, as
will appear to anyone who will visit
the school while it is in session. Such
a visit will convince you that:
Our present building is wholly in
adequate; That forty children are
crowded into rooms hardly large
enough for twenty-five; That our pres
ent building is insuficiently lighted,
poorly ventilated, difficult to heat,
and without proper sanitary equip
ment or physical convenience.
There is not a cloak room in the en-
tire building nor any wet weather
convenience.
Our present enrolment is nearly
six hundred and constantly increasing.
What is a bond issue of $4,000 for

COUNTY OFFICERS SALARY LAW.

We see in some Jackson news items that 'the county Of
fcer is entitled to a living wage. There is no dispute about
that. That statement is on a parity with the doctrine that every
man should earn his living by the sweat of his brOw-what
honest man will dispute either?
The only question regarding the present salary law is: 1t
is not the wage the people contracted with these officials at
When they elected them, and whether or not some one else
equally as efficient and as capable could not be hired at the
figures these offices paid January l, 1920.
1t is a business proposition pure and simple. 1t is a ques-
ton of keeping faith with the public.
The county officers are just men. That's all. We have the
honor and the privilege to claim a great number of them
throughout the state as our personal friends. But we are view
ing the matter as we think a newspaper should view it. We
have no censure for them for accepting the raise in salary made
by the legislature, but we think those who consort together or
who try to influence the legislature to allow the law to remain
as it is, run the risk of committing political suicide. Likewise we
think that the legislator who undertakes by indirection or other
wise to keep the law in effect as it is, digs, and very Justly, his
own political grave.

SPEAKER CONNER MADE ABLE ADDRESS

Speaker Sonnet Conner of the Mississippi Legislature made
a very able, straightforward, clear and comprehensive review
to a convention of agricultural high school principals a few days
ago of the tax problems of the state. Mr.. Conner came right up
to the lick log. There was no show of demagOguery or play to
the galleries. 1t is really refreshing to find a man in these days
Of desert craftsmanship who will just state plain facts as facts
without any furnishing or white washing.
Mr.. Conner gave very cogent reasons for asserting that
county expenditures rather than state are largely responsible for
our distressing tax burdens. He went on to show how, in his
own county of Covington, that the supervisors, after spending
all the money derived from taxes, had made two efforts to issue
loan warrants and how he had taken the lead in getting up peti-
lions to defeat the loan. warrant issues, which was done. He
urges that the law-making body at Jackson enact some measure
to hold down county expenditures and that will tend to restrain
the issuance of bonds.
Mr.. Conner performed a distinct public service in his adj
dress. He gave an insight into the states financial affairs with
such frankness and candor that those who run even cannot fail
to at least partially understand. Mr.. Conner is a sober-minded,
honest and able public servant.
AGOOD BILL TO PASS.
House Bill No. $40 introduced by Representative Watson of
Claiborne County should be passed. The bill limits the bonds
that may be issued by a county or a taxing district to Is per cent
of the assessed value of the property Of the county; It strikes
at the very basis of our present tax troubles. 1t has been one of
the serious indictments Of the American people for many years
that they would buy anything they could get ION credit. The
abuse of credit is largely responsible for the countrys woes to-l
day. tL&a i

les Sessions.

Members of the board OF the
Fourteenth district of the Illinois
Federation of Women's clubs held
a joint forum with the members OF
the Fifteenth district board during
the early afternoon session yester-
day in Galesburg.
Problems confronting the two
districts were discussed. and ideas
OF departmental work explained.
One of the important plans brought
into the discussion was the county
organization plan, which is pro-
posed as a part of the state pro-
gram. Neither the local nor the
Fifteenth district is SO organized,
and the possibilities for benefit
from such organization was length
lily discussed.
Following the luncheon in the
Elks' club, at which the Fourteenth
district workers were guests of the
Fifteenth district, Mrs. A. S. Ed
words of Moline, newly named
chairman of the state birth regis
tration committee, told of the need
for cooperation of all the clubs in
the state to bring Illinois into the
area. A registration Of at least 80
per cent of births is necessary to
be included in this group. and last
year the percentage of this state
was SO, better than in previous
years but still not up to standard.
Illinois is the only state east of
the Mississippi river not up to
standard, and the state board has
decided to increase the proportion
through a committee to work with
the state director of public health
at Springfield in this work. Mrs.
Edwards recommended birth reg
istration chairman be appointed in
each club to see that all doctors
and midwives report births.

Of the Galesburg district, spoke

that similar crowds will turn out

entertainments that will set the
pace for home talent affairs in Mo-

There's not dull moment in the
show from one end to another. The
widely advertised beauty chorus did
everything that was claimed for
it, and did it with swing and grace
that is not always found on the pro-
fessional stage.
The hit of the evening was the
tough dance which accompanied

bred Hackbarth and L. F. Lewis.
Next to this the eccentric comedy
dance given by Miss Irene Nystrom
as Sylvia Madeline RIPLEY was the
best thing done. Longing" sung
