He will remain in Washington giving

He has definite views. but is content for
the present to keep them to himself. lie

sented. The incident of the last week,
when he repudiated statement deliy-
cred by his former secretary, Joseph
p. Tumulty, at the National Democratic
Club banquet in New York, was SAM
pie Of this. Mr. Wilson was angered
at the INTERPRETATION placed on the mes
sage that he had come out in favor OF
James NJ. Cox for President in 1924.
On the other hand, it is not the de-
sire Of Mr.. Wilson to slap Mr.. Cox. The
time may come, he recognizes, when
Mr.. Cox may be of service in accom-
plishing the Wilson ideas. particularly
the League of Nations, of which Mr..
Cox Is now the leading advocate.
Since the wilson-Tumulty episode

that Mr. Wilson may be preparing to
come out for William g. McAdoo. his

SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVIES

The third and most vital of school funds in our
present system of taxation is the Special Tax levied
the district
The district tax for schools continues to yield more
than onehaf of the money raised to support public ee
Imentary and high schools
MY contention is that the state wide tax should partly
take the place Of the school levy. However, until such
time this is DONE the special levy must be voted or
cripple the schools to such extent that you might as
we'll close them
Realizing the necessity of special levy in order to
keep their schools going the people Of Cubeson voted
special levy of 20 mills last Saturday, This is the same
the people of Wolf Point voted last year The people
of Poplar voted special levy Of Is mills and the people,
of Homestead voted 27 mill special levy.
The District System
The district system Of taxation in Montana was used
by forefathers in colonial days. In its efficiency
may be compared with the CART the fail the scyheI
the sail boat the pack horse and other implements Of
slow progress which they used. There were larger
units of government than the local community from which
money to support schools might be obtained Neither
were there automobiles railroads and farm machinery
such we have today When the machine farmer re-
placed the hoe farmer farming developed to high stage
of perfection and efficiency
From financial standpoint our school business is one
Of our biggest enterprises But no other form OF bus
there to be found such lax methods of collecting
and distributing funds In business enterprise hand
ing half the public schools would such utter lack
OF business principles be tolerated
