FIRST AID KITS REPLACE WRECK TOOLS
 IN RAILROAD CARS

CHICAGO, Oct. IS. - The old-time hammer and axe emergency kit in rail- road cars, a familiar object to every railroad passenger, has outlived ito usefulness. The new order is a com pact, modern first aid kit to be in stalled in all Pullman cars.
 With the installation of these kits all employees of the company will be instructed in first aid. This instruc tion is now under way in the Chicago district.
 "The first aid kits with which a Pullman cars soon will be equipped said Dr. Thomas R. Crowder, direc, tor of sanitation and surgery of the company, Twill contain two first aid packages, bandages~ and dressings, iodine sWabs, and a small bottle Ot aromatic spirits of ammonia"

STATE HAS PENS
 FOR GAME BIRDS

EUGENE, Ore, Oct. 1S.-With the recent completion of large addition to the pheasant pens of the state game farm near here, the farm is now the largest enclosed by wire in the United State, according to members of the state game commission. The pens now cover ten acres of land and will accommodate between nine thousand and ten thousand pheasants.
 The pens will be filled to capacity this year, according to L. E. Bean, a member of the state game commission. The birds will be held until next spring, when they will be liberated in various parts of the state.
 The policy that has been followed heretofore, that of liberating the young birds early in the fall before the open season begins, has been abandoned because of the belief that to release the young pheasants just before the hunting season opened, resulted in an unwarranted number falling easy prey to the hunters. If the birds are liberated in the spring, they are full grown and wary by the time the hunt ing season opens in the fall.

FIGHT BREWS
 IN CONGRESS P OVER ALASKA

Alaska's future and the merits and demerits of the socalled conservation issue will be threshed out on the floor of Congress during the coming Win ter. if Congress cannot contrive to sidestep the subject, says Ashmun Brown in Washington dispatch to the Seattle Times.
 / President Harding has declined to yield to the pressure of the farm bloc and the conservationists and is stand ing pat on the proposal of the con- mission on reorganization of the ex- ecutive departments that the forest service be transferred from the De- partment of Agriculture to the De- partment of the Interior and that all jurisdiction over Alaska be placed in the latter department.
 This is the meaning of the announce ment that came the other day that the president has approved the scheme ot recognizing the departments as draft ed by Walter F. Brown, the Presidents representative on the commission, and will ask the commission to adopt it in it's report to Congress. The Brown plan includes the changes indicated above
 BATTLE PROMISED
 The program is for the commission to turn the suggestions over to Con- gress early in December and to 1n- troduce a bill carrying them into law Then all the forces that have been sup porting the Department of Agricul- ture's desire to retain the forest ser vice and a measure of control in Alas ka will go on the war path. Clifford Pinchot, who probably by. that time will be governor of Pennsylvania, will be the Mustapha Kemal of the upris- ing.
 A considerable amount of warning has been done already, conducted for the purpose of soaring the President away from the plan of consolidating in one department all the agencies of the government that have to do with administering public lands. The for est service is the only one of these not in the Department of the Interior, a fact which interferes with unity and uniformity of action in dealing with public land problems.
 The controversy, which really had it's beginning in the ancient Ballinger- Pinchot episode of twelve years ago,

NEAR EAST ENTENTE

The Russian newspaper, Golos Ross iii, published at Berlin, states that the Soviet government is negotiating fol the formation of a Near East En tente Russia, Turkey, Persia, Ali ghanistan and Mongolia would be in cluded.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-10-18

has been renewed in recent months, Pinchot and his friends in the Depart ment of Agriculture having induced the leading members of the farm bloc to make the "conservation" cause their own. The farm bloc was at tracted by the argument that it is in furious to farming interests to have any more public lands opened up to settlement until the farming business in the older part of the country pays better; that the Department of the ln- terior favors development, while the Department of Agriculture does not. Hence, if the forest service and Alas 11a remain largely under control of the Department of Agriculture there will be less possible competition in the farming business.
 FALLS POSITION
 Secretary Fall of the Department of the Interior has refrained from taking any part in the propaganda war that has been waged in behalf of the De- partment of Agriculture. He has said very frankly that he does not give two or three whoops in very hot place whether existing public land agencies are taken from his department and given to the Department of Agricul- ture or whether the forest service is taken from agriculture and given to his department; what he is interest cd in is in having all agencies deal ing with public lands logically placed in one department in the interests Of sound administration. At present the general land office, the Indian service, the reclamation service, the geological survey and the Bureau of Mines are in the Interior Department. All of these. he holds, should be administered by the same department that administers the forest service. Otherwise there are interdepartmental jealousies and unnecessary delays in administrati C work.
 The Pinchot school of conservation ists assume that there is some intrin- sic viciousness in the Department Of the Interior, for they advertise that transfer of the forest service to if would mean that the lands of the na- tional forests inevitably would be 'looted." Unless these lands are pre- tected by the Department of Agricul- ture, which alone in government de- 2artments is assumed to be honest by this school of thought, the timber bar ons" and other barons are to steal Alas ka and the forests. President Harding declines to accept this doctrine. This being so the fight will be transferred to Congress. The country will hear a lot about it during the next year.

WHY THE PRESENT SCHOOL TROUBLES?
Superintendent of Education Asks Three Pertinent Ques
tons and Gives the Answer Schools Running Behind

Must the schools Of LaurcDs county
close because of lack of school
funds? If teachers continue to teach
will they receive pay and If so, when
And why this same trouble each year
regarding teachers salaries
These are questions that we shall
answer briefly if not satisfactorily
through the columns OF The Advertis-
cr, with the editors permission.
In the first place, many districts in
The county have spent all of the funds
paid directly by the district for school
purposes. One district will be taken
as a type OF many districts. This one
district, counting all local taxes, has
in round numbers $1,100.00 This dis
trict employs four teachers at total
salary of $4,000 per month. This dis
trct then with local funds could run
for a period of three months, yet the
teachers were employed possibly for a
period Of seven months. Where then
'was this extra money to come from?
Fifty-five districts out OF sixty-two
received state aid under some law,
whether it be High School Law, Term
Extension Law, Rural Graded Law, or
the EQualizing Law. This last law
guarantees a seven months term to a
district which qualities under the law.
What then arc the qualifications
First, an eight mill tax; second, an
enrolment Of not less than 25 nor
more than 30 per teacher; third an
average attendance of not less than
IS each month and lastly, a certificate
registered in the Office onf the County
superintendent. Such then is the law.
But the appropriation for carrying out
this law is in the hands Of the present
General Assembly. The answer then
to the first question is this: unless
ones district can qualify under the
law and unless one has faith in the
legislature making the appropriation
the school ought to close.
In the next place, will teachers get
pay if they continue to teach in dis
tricts which have spent all of the local
funds? Provided the district qualities

under the law and provided the ap-
preparation is made, but the money
will not be available until June. This
is due to two reasons: First, because
of taxes being almost entirely deferred.
Secondly, because an application for
equaliZing aid cannot be made until
the school has run for period OF
seven months. This necessarily will
mean the applications cannot be for
warded to Columbia until some time in
May. Teachers, working in district
which, does not hope to quality for
spent, must wait until the next schol-
astic year to get pay from the county
treasurer. This does not mean that
teachers will not be paid, but it does
mean that the money must be borrowed
or some method other than that of pay
ment by the treasurer. This office
does not care to run the school dis
tricts in debt. Upon this basis 1t does
not care to approve claims when there
is no money in the treasurer's office
Will WHICH 70 pay tucIn. .lueIclorc,
the second question may have been
answered bluntly, but possibly clearly.
In the last place, why this trouble
each year regarding the salaries Of
teachers? One reason is the fact that
taxes have been paid rather slowly.
This, however, is a minor reason. The
real cause is the fact that law guar
antees a certain salary for certain
term. Trustees act upon this law.
Teachers are employed for a term Of
seven months at a specified salary. The
carrying out Of this contract is con-
tingent upon the legislature making
the appropriation. This appropriation,
If made, is given many months after
contract has been made by trustees.
The remedy lies either in having the
law and appropriation go hand in hand
or having trustees to employ teachers
for a term and at salary in harmony
with district funds, with the provision
that the term shall be seven months If
the appropriation is made.
