the funds and appropriations for
the common schools OF the state
had only been cut approximately 8
per cent. rs compared With re-
duction Of approximately % per
cent. in the appropriations for the
purposes OF higher education yes
terday brought forth a table from
the governors office to prove the
contrary, today called attention TO
certain salient points in his arsu-
ment that the governor had appar-
entity overlooked in the prepara-
ton Of the tabulated reply.
MY basic contention" Mr.. Bel
ser stated. "is that in any compari-
son OF the funds appropriated for
common schools and for institu
rions of higher learning. such as
was made by the governor in his
special message, must take into con-
sideration all funds appropriated
for public schools and not merely
the appropriation for the state de-
partment Of education. The gov
ernor in his message. however, and
in the table prepareA by his office

GRAFTON 10 the direct appropriations
for the department Of education
ignoring the three mill constitu-
tional tax. the numerous special
county and school district levieS
and the divers bond issues for edu-
cational purposes.
These last year brought the to-
tai amount Of funds appropriated
for school purposes TO mark Of
approximately $11, 100000. The
appropriation bill. as prepared by
theIways and means committee and
passed by the house. carries a re-
duction Of $342,230 for the depart
ment Of education. This is just q
little in excess Of 3 per cent. Of the
100000 devoted to schools last
year and if it will be remembered
that $3.50 600 OF this reduction was
not q genuine cut since this amount
was added to the 1927 appropria-

OPPRESSION
OF TAXES
British Nobleman Forced, to
Desert Family Residence

London, Jan. 30.-High taxation
has forced another British noble
man TO desert a historic family
seat and seek residence more in
accord with his postwar pocket
book. Eopcton House, L,nlitn-
sowshire, fine Italian mansion set
in stately domain of beautiful Yer

gov, is to be closed. Seventy en-
pioye: viii be dismissed or trans
lcrred o other work.
The estate has beer handed from
father 10 son since 1903.
local and Imperial taxes are.too
much for me" the Marquis told an
Ed;nbourgh interviewer. Like
Jack Sprat and spouse they leave
nothing. A British noble lord, with
no vote in such matter, is in a
class with paupers and lunaQcs.
Times are changed and we are
changed with them" he philoso-
phized.
That the position of landed gen.
try Of England and Scotland truly
is! difficult is evidenced by the fact
than before 1916 the Marquis had
disposed of his pack Of hounds and
all his horses except two chargers
for military service. Shooting
rights on his estate also We're sold.
Further reductions are said to be
impossible without failure in the

THE FOREIGN LOANS

There is good deal Of talk now
adays among American financiers
of lending fEqgppe vast sums of
money. ItrS. pecessary, they say,
IN order to TeyiSe European bust
ness, and desirable from the Ameri-
can viewpoint, because it would II
turn revive American business. Also
some Of them suggest. this country
is overloaded with gold and ought
TO get rid OF some Of it.
This may be all right. 1t is hard
for a layman to wrestle with the
mysteries OF high finance. 1t is
evident ,hwoever, that the average
Intelligent American IS highly sus-
picious of any SUCH scheme as this,
and for reasons which to him are
simple and CONVINCING.
First, ne Monaers why, if gold
is such a drug on the market, and
there is so vast a basis Of credit,
money is not bent more freely right
here in the United States to fer
tilize and revive American indus
try and finance new projects for
waterpower development, transpor-
tation, etc.. That would be a di-
rect way of helping America with
American money.
Second, if big credits are to be
given Europe on top of the bill
lions already. gMen-and admitted
E it might be a wise move-this
same average Aaaerica4. would like
to have the fnanciers make sure
beforehand that the funds would
be used for constructive purposes.

vies, or to the payment of govern
mental expenses which ought to be
