Their Knock a Boost.

In the estimation of most of the
people, the Post Dispatch has again
"achieved merit" through the con-
demnation it received from Gus o.
Nations and others at the meeting OF
the State and Federal officers to con-
fer at Jefferson City on the best way
of making the punishment for arti-
icial crimes more drastic than they
are. The Post Dispatch editorial on
that criminal assault on constitution
al rights, at the Alamac Hotel, whe n
109 people were arrested without
warrant or shadow of right and drag
ged to police headquarters, was a
thing calculated to penetrate even the
fanaticism that dominates the prohibit
ton crank, and that it and other edi-
torials like it have, is shown by the
aforesaid condemnation.
Prohibition is no longer a question
of liquor, but of liberty. Admit all
the abuses that go with liquor and
then double them and the sum will
not anywhere equal the damage that
has been inflicted on the people
through the loss of their liberty, for
it is truism that next to life itself
liberty is the highest desire of the
human heart. Inasmuch as the Post
Dispatch is one of the few papers ir
this country which have had the cour
age to openly denounce the fakery
and fraud, the invasion and the ont
rage of this monstrous thing callec
prohibition, it is worthy the suppor
of all men who are intelligent enough
to see the very grave disasters towart
which prohibition trends.
| This trend of prohibition is adum'
brated in the remark made by Johl
| G. Dyott, who is on the payroll a
Y special assistant to Attorney Genera
Daugherty Dyott thinks, accordint
to the newspapers, that too muc
ridicule is hurled at prohibition an
that no Judge should be permitted t

From Superintendent Baker.

State Superintendent of Public
Schools Baker has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the school officers
throughout the state:
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 4, 1922.
This budget will include the funds
for teachers salaries, incidentals, re-
pairs, new equipment, libraries and
interest to pay bonded indebtedness,
if any. AS a guide to assist you, de-
sire to make the following suggestions
which trust may prove helpful.
1. Determine the amount OF money
you will have left over from this year.
2. Estimate the amount you will
receive from public finds, county,
township and railroad funds, as the
same you received last year. Sub
tract the sum of these funds from
your school budget required and SUBJ
NIT a tax levy sufficient to raise the
difference, basingit upon the assessed
4 ivaIaation as of last year.
8. If after the election the boart
finds the rate is too high and viii
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 OF
or before May 10Th, but not raised.
i 4. 1t is impossible to state at thi
time what the valuation of your dis
trict will be as this is the result OF tht
action of the state and county board
of equalization. Your county clerl
will have this information as soon al
it is available and you should consul
him before filing your estimate.
i The rate voted has nothing to d.
J with the regular annual distribution
of funds made in August. The specia
state aid given rural schools unde
section 1121l and high schools unde
section 1926 still require the district
to vote the limit which is sixty fiv
j cents and one hundred cents on tn
+ hundred dollar valuation respectively
: Very little special high school aid wa
distributed last year.
: While we are all interested in nc
: only keeping our schools up to th
! present standard but increasing tn

Governor Hyde has the record OF
having called two extra sessions Of
the Legislature and two special cleo

He also has the record of having
boosted taxes higher than they ever
were and stuffed more people into
office than ever happened before. No
doubt had he not lost control Of the
senate he would have worked in an
other special session of the Legislature
during his first year and found an
other excuse for an additional specia
