AMPLE SCHOOL FUNDS
FOR ALL PURPOSES

Jefferson City, Mo-, March IL
State Superintendent of Schools Sam
A. Baker, has addressed the following
communication to the school district
officers of the state, which is OF vital
interest to all taxpayers:
"The time is rapidly approaching
when your board will make up the
school budget for the coming year
The levy to raise the necessary funds
to meet this budget will be submitted
and voted upon at the annual school
election to be held April a, 1922.
"This budget will include the. funds
for teachers salaries, incidentals, re-
pairs, new equipment, libraries and
interest to pay bonded indebtedness.

SHUT THE SIDE DOORS, TOO

It was good campaign strategy to
keep up the cry against the three
per cent immigration law. Opposl-
sion that the law is doing what it
ton would give the public the impress
sion that the law isd DING what II
was meant to do. Our Jewish friends
especially made Congress ring with
their protests, but the House decided
by a heavy vote to keep the three pei
cent restriction in force for another
year, and the opponents of the law
know in their hearts that they are
once more the beneticiaries of Amerl'
can stupidity.
Whether for or against restricted
immigration, citizens should under
stand that the three per cent law is
not doing what it is advertised to do
If there were an immigration law re-
stricting immigration at the port OF
New York, but leaving Boston anc
Philadelphia and the Gulf ports wide
open, no one would pretend that We
had immigration restriction.
Yet that is practically the situa'
ton now. All our front doors are re-
stricted, that is, our seaports east anc
west. But our side doors, Canada anC
Mexico, are wide open. -.
And this is what has occurred: the
very emigrants described by oul
State Department as most undesir'
able are entering the United States
by way of Canada and Mexico. Oul
law has had the effect of Cutting
those two countries with the very
clements which this government is
trying to keep out. After certain
residence in Canada, they come here
as Canadians, and after a certain
residence in Mexico, they arrive here
as "Mexicans"; that is, those who
wait to establish formal residence
Great numbers of them come across
the border in the dark without form
ality.
The difficulty is that this govern,
ment cannot refuse Canadians" Anc

SMELLING FIRM LIQUIDATES
$12,000,OO0 OF IT'S DEBTS

New York, March 27.--The annual
report of the American Smelling and
Refining Company, issued today,
shows the liquidation by the company
of $12,000,000 of indebtedness to banks
without increasing the funded debt or
issuing notes or new capital.
The metal reserve account of $5,-
100000 was created to take care of in
ventory depreciation of surplus stocks
of metals. Since December 81, 1920,
the metal stocks increased in value
100000 because of improved mar
ket prices during the year 1921. Total
income from sales of metals amounted
to $130,S10, 594.40, a decrease of $780,
] 117,SS9.52, compared with the year
1920
The operating forces in 1921
! (plants in the United States) was re-
duced to 1905, or slightly more than
half the number of workmen employed
in 1920 Wage readjustments during
1921 brought the average per diem
wage down from $5.04 as of 1920 to
SALT.

Congressman Galloway states that
the editorial policies with regard to
national and international matters
were purchased or leased in March,
1915. AL well informed men know
that the press of America was utilized
during the war for various purposes,
chief among which was to arouse ana
inspire hatred for Germany. Goa

raise more money than is needed to
support the school, the rate may be
lowered by the board. when the esti-
mate is filed with the county clerk on
or before May 18th, but not raised.
a. II is impossible to state at this
time what the valuation of'sour dis
trict will be as this is the result of
the action of the state and county
boards of equalization. Your county
clerk will have this information as
soon as it is available and you should
consult him before filing your esti-
mate.
"The rate voted has nothing to, do
with the regular annual distribution
of funds made in August. The spe-
cial state aid given rural schools I'M
der section 11211 and high schools
under section 1926 still require the
districts to vote the limit, which is
siXty-fve~cents and one hundred cents
on the hundred-dollar valuation, re-
spectively. Very little special high
school aid was distributed last year,
"While we are all interested in not
only keeping our schools up to the
present standard but increasing the
efficiency as the opportunity permits,
yet the fact remains that the amount
of local funds spent in the district de-
ponds upon the will of the voters and
the local board as this is a matter
which rests exclusively in their hands.
"To sum up these suggestions, l
would advise that ample funds be
raised to conduct the schools in anef-
! ficient manner but wisdom dictates
that no unnecessary funds be raised,
and if you already have enough sur
plus to run your school another year,
it of course is not necessary to make
any levy at all"

IN DEFENSE OF THE FLAPPER

Probably the most maligneds mis-
understood, traduced and calumiated
pcrtion of the human race today, Is
the so-called American "fapper," a
typically American product and a nat,
uraI offspring of present day sociiai
conditions. The "fapper" is in the
spotlight. She is a problem for the
sociologists, the indoor sport OF PINK
tea conversations, the source OF a
mothers disquietude, and the. subject
Of social theorists. She has been de-
fined. discussed, debated and de-
nounced by every one from her moth
or and family, up the ladder to high-
est professional circles down TO the
street gossiper, yet she Is stu the
"happer." u,
No less an authority than Webster
saws "a flapper is young game bro
or duck unable to walk or fly well. -
Rut is she that kind? There she
stands in the insouciance of her youth,
with her hands jammed in her peck
cts, her bobbed hair, her stalking
walk, suffering talk and unbuckled
galoshes, challenging the world. There
she is a product of postwar restless
ness-and an example of post-suf-
frage efferverscence.
Ida Bently, a noted lecturer and au-
thor, says she is "anyone without
program of life. She typifies incon'
sistency. She believes personality is
purely physical. She Classics every
one except herself. She talks in gen
eralities."
That is a little severe and along
comes Professor Horne of New York
University and says "she is girl who
prefers ignorance to truth. She has
n conscience but does not let it both
