CAUTIONS PETITION SIGNERS.

Secretary Of State J. Grant Hinkle
has asked all prosecuting attorneys to
warn the public that those persons
who sign initiative petitions without
being registered voters. or who sign
more than once, are liable to prose-
cution. The law compels the secretary
Of state to supply prosecuting attor-
neys with the names of such people
and county officials are directed to
proceed against them.
The warming of Secretary Hinkle Is
given to avoid unnecessary state and
county expense as well as to protect
innocent, though ignorant, signers.
After last springs referendum petit
tions were checked more than 10000
names OF illegal signers had to be
compiled and sent to prosecuting at
torneys. 1t cost about $1,000 to check
and reject these unlawful names and
several hundred dollars more to tell
county authorities about them

Taxes are too high! Is there Il place in
the county where one will not hear that
said? Around tax collecting time each
year We are sure to hear the subject of
tax reduction discussed And now the peO-
pie Of School District No. II are asking
whether or not some saving may not be
made in the schools.
I have before me a circular letter ask
ing for the opinion of the tax payers and
patrons Of our schools regarding the ad-
Visibility Of eliminating Cooking and
Sewing. Music. Manual Training and For
eign Languages" from the schools. May
ask. why stop there? have heard edu-
Gated people seriously affirm that the
study of grammar never did them any
good and say they ''could see no use
whatever in the study" Why not cut that
out? Some prominent educators advocate
the elimination of Latin, algebra and ge-
ometery. In fact there is hardly a subject
that some may be found to declare use
less. Most of our citizens will say such
talk is absurd. That may be true. but the
other day ! heard man ask Of what
practical value Is manual training to the
lveIage boy?" ~ little later he bewailed
the fact that he was unable to make
some simple repairs about the house.
Said he couldn't even drive nail
straight" A young woman of my ac-
quaintance applied for work in a ..-illi-
merry store. The first question she asked
on starting was "How long a piece of
thread shall | break off," I heard n man
oppose the teaching of music in schools
and actually gave as one of his reasons
I'VE hear so little music in the homes We
pass"
Now some one will arise to say e-S' OF
course when you put 1t that way We re-
ally ought to keep these things in the
schools but taxes are high and we must
| reduce some way. Why begin with the
most vital part of our civilization? And
what amount would be saved? AS near as
| can be estimated, with the data at hand.
| the reduction in taxes for this district by
| eliminating ALL FOUR of the subjects
| pnder discussion. will amount to less than
| IS on each 800 In taxes now paid.
The school Is an index to the standing
| II a community. One of the first questions
asked by those seeking a new home is
what kind of schools are there in your
locality?" He may not be an advocate OF
| lose ''new tangled notions" but If he
finds that we are taking away instead OF
adding to school facilities. he will be very
| apt to 20 elsewhere. Should such a state
| II affairs come about will that IS be a
| saving or loss?
| The writer strongly advocates economy
md will welcome a reduction of taxes
Unfortunately he has no very tangible
plan to offer yet ne does feel that any
move to lower the star. Ting of the school
| u,1 he considered most carefully be-
fore acting. In this consideration would i,
not be well to remember that I'VE pass
this way but once" that few get more
schooling after high school and that the
| youth that We are most interested in. ouI
own children, should have all the best
that We can give them?
