SCHOOLS ARE SPONGING.
In a recent statement

In a recent statement State Tax
Commissioner Walter S. Hallanan says
that q good many school districts in
West Virginia are sponging on the State
for aid for their schools by evading
their own obligations. They Ak low
assessments and thus provide such
trihing taxes that they cannot keep
their schools going-then stretch OUT
their hands for State aid Districts
and countless" said Mr.. Hallanan,
"have deliberately pauperized them,
selves in the reduction OF their proper
ty assessments for this one purpose. :"
He declared that numerous districts ara
receiving from two to three dollars
from the State for the payment OF
teachers for each dollar raised by local
taxation. In two districts in Summers
county the State gives FIVE dollars for
every dollar raised BY local taxation.
The distribution Of the State dis
tributable fund Of Sl,33S.O6O shows
some curious figures. Only eight OF
the ffty-fve counties Of the State fail
cd to ask for State help. Jefferson
county is one Of the eight. Berkeley
county gets Sl,703; Morgan, S6,22s
Hampshire, S43,556; Hardy, S33,0l3;
Mineral, S11,930; Grant, S26,225;
Pendleton, S42 ,249; Kanawha, S43,752;
fayette. sol LOB; Summers, S72,5O6
Greenbricr, S7O,l35; and so on.
Truly, there are good many educa-
tional sponges in the State; it is the
seif-supporting counties, though, tina,
are being soaked.

EAST is EAST AND WEST Is WEST

The railroads, which are SO tenac-
iodsly holding out against reductions
in their rates for passenger and freight
traffic in spite Of the fact that tho
public is just as determined not to pay
the unreasonable demands, announce q
cut in fares to summer resorts, and
will issue round-trip tickets at what
they regard as attractive figures.
According to newspaper reports, tho
roads west of Chicago will make re-
ductions ranging from IS to as peg
cent, while the eastern roads will cut
only from 10 to 20 per cent.
Why should not the people of thd
East have the same treatment accord
ed those Of the West2 Is it because
our eastern railroad management il
less progressive-cannot see the stu
alton save from their own standpoint
and have no regard for public good
opinion?

BETTER TRUST HENRY.

1t looks as il the administration will
not give Henry Ford the opportunity to
develop the Muscle Shoals property and
provide cheap fertilizers for the farm =
ers. incidentally developing a great
commercial centre in the South. The
fertilizer combination seems to have
gotten the ear Of Congress, and the
President and his cabinet are very cold
toward Mr.. Portland there you are!
It's really pity that man with the
horse sense and proven ability Of Hen
ry Ford cannot even have a chance TO
do the big things he says that he can
do-and which undoubtedly he would
do.

After a thorough consideration Of
how vital your tooth troubles are-can
you possibly afford to trust your dental

or course, you cannot trust yourself

WOMAN JURORS
ARE NOT SOFT

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 20.-Are
women jurors more prejudiced against the
infection Of the death penalty than men?
This question, left to the individual

hazard when women were first drawn to
act as jurors, has apparently been solved
by time a. experience.
Within the last year more than q score
Of persons have been placed on trial in
Los Angeles criminal courts charged with
murder. In each case there have been

was finally selected.

been excused from jury duty because of

four prospective jurors out OF a total Of

OF this number only nine we're women
The fact that more were not opposed to
the death penalty may have been due to
the cvueliness Of the defendant and also
because women are harder on their own
sex than is chivalrous man. However. in
cases where men have been on trial for
death penalty ofenses the ratio has been
''ffty-ffty."
Recently there were six persons On trial

OF that number only two verdlcts have
been returned so far. In all the in

four women and eight men. In each case

Work of HooSier Movie Writers
To Boost Fall Productions

in "Over the HILL" has completed a
new mother love- movie, called "Sil-
yer Wings" The writer had a chance
to see it at a private showing and if
1 am not mistaken Mrs. Carr will
cause more tears to flow than she did
in her first real success. 1t sure does
contain enough real heart beats for a
dozen movies.
All of this tends to show that the
movie producers are planning the fall
entertainment campaign with some
degree of honest thinking. The screen
is no place for junk and it is about
time that the services of real writer's
be called in to furnish the stories.
The public is done with cheap film
scandal and it is ready to welcome the
screen brain children of Booth Tark-
ington, George AIDE and others Of the
worth whiles.-W. D. H.
