go without comment. Court decis-
ions interpreting the statutes have
made clear, or should make clear, to
lawyers and competent public officials
the processes incident to calling and
holding elections. The manner of call
ing and holding elections being plain
ly set out, the next thing is for the
lawyers and officials to comply with
the laws and follow the directions.
Failure to conduct the elections prop
|erty proves ignorance or incompetent
cy on the part of persons who profess
to be able to perform the duties they
sought and assumed. The cost of
holding new elections is not the worst
part of it. The worst part is the
thwarting of public desire as shown
in the bond elections and the evidence
of the poor judgment voters exercised
in the selection of the public officials
who proved incompetent-that is hu-
Imiliating.-Palm Beach Post.
The carelessness of officials regard
ing elections is most annoying, but it
| is nothing new. 1t has been going on
ever since we can remember, and his
tory says it was going on even before
then.

An election will have to be held
again in Hillsborongh county because
of an error in the manner in which an
election on three millions dollars of
road bonds was called. and Dade eoun-
ty is threatened with a similar expert

list of registered voters that was used.
There has been trouble of this kind
in Palm Beach county, in one instance
an issue of school bonds being defeat
i've because the petition did not con-
tain the requisite number of qualified
signers and in another case the publ
cation of the call for election contain
ed an error which necessitated a new
election. To newspaper men who read

They may be assured that the public

have been expressing the public for
a number of years, and the public is
tired of it. Nearly generation ago,

people, not stopping to think out the
fact that the injunction is as much
the weapon of the poor man as of the
capitalist, endorsed the sentiment.

Philips stated that they had about
five new men to place in Florida this
year and that they had picked out
that location on account of the very
excellent farming conditions that pre-
vailed in that section. That the
Smith Hughes fund would pay a man
$125 per month if the county would
pay $50. 1t was agreed by the board
that they would make application for
the fund and pay about one-third of
the amount necessary. As this was

the superintendent was asked to make
application.

cred those who protested against the methods of Byron & Goetz, either be- fore or after the coup that resulted in the formation of the United States Harness company and the execution of the amazing contracts in its favor. Captain George c. Bosom, Jr., in charge of leather supplies, protested and was discharged from the service. Major w. o. Watts, executive officer of the surplus property division, pro- tested and was reprimanded by his chief, Colonel Yates, and told not to dig up 'mare's nest. When he per sisted he was discharged, refusing to consider permanent majority as the price of silence.
 ID. B. Baxter, leather merchant of Greenville, s. C., enlisted the aid of two United States senators. Byron and Goetz took him into partnership. Harbison and Gathright, Louisville firm, sent vigorous protest to the secretary of war. It is not known if the secretary of war saw the letter, but it is known that Colonel Goetz saw it and dictated an answer. Har- bison and Gathright expressed sur prise that letter to cabinet mem- Der should be answered by the man against whom the complaint was di- rected."

followed an investigation. The leath- CT equipment committee, an auxiliary of the Council of National Defense, was entrusted with the duty of deter mining and supplying the govern ment's leather needs for the war.
 Its chairman was oseph C. Byron of w. B. Byron & Sons, large tan ners of Hanover, Pa. He obtained, the article says, a commission of lieu tenant colonel for his friend, George B. Goetz, vice-president and treasurer of A. D. Goetz & Co.,, harness makers of Ranson, w. Va, who became one of the principal purchasers of army harness.
 Lieut.. Col. Goetz "exalted Captain Azel F. Cochran, banker, of Hays, Kansas, to a position as harness pur- chaser, and Captain Henry w. Benke, small leather dealer of Chicago, to be chief harness inspector of the quartermaster corps" After the war the United States Harness company was organized and "became the cor porate name of Messrs. Byron, Goetz, Benke, Cochran and others" The Gra- ham reported quoted says:
 "Your committee is convinced there was continued effort from the date of the armistice to the time of mak- ing the United States Harness com pany contract, to-wit, September 24, 1920, to prevent surplus leather equipment from being placed on tho market. It is also obvious that the constant efforts of Colonel Goetz and Major Byron were to prevent the sale of the property in question. There seems to have been concerted move ment on the part of all leather men both inside and outside the war de- partment to protect the leather inter ests at the expense of the govern ment until the time came when those inside the government, having full control of the situation and seeing ing their opportunity to realize great profits, deserted their former col leagues"
 The article declares sales cam paigns undertaken by the government to get rid of the enormous leather supply were failures, and explains:
 Some of the most attractive items were not advertised. Minimum quan- titles offered were far above the the needs of the individual consum- CT. To obtain one saddle a farmer had to buy ten; to obtain one bridle he had to buy p; one whip, 500. By ron and Goetz, without authority, ap- peared at meetings of the sales board of review and obtained rejections of bids which were time and again many times greater than the prices for which Byron, Goetz and associates ul- timately obtained the coveted equip ment. q
 Sixty dollars was bid on double harness.' That stuff ain't worth $8, an officer says Goetz exclaimed. It's robbing the people for the govern ment to get such prices
 "This same harness was about to undergo a further depreciation, for a few months later Colonel Goetz and colleagues took it over for $4.59 set as part of the contract of the Unit ed States Harness company.

REASONS WHY SOLDIERS
 COMPENSATION NOT PAID

"I want to be distinctly understood as saying that the men in charge of the sales of war supplies are in conn bination with men on the outside to whom an advantage is given, and that in no case except in exceptional cases is anybody advised that war supplies are declared surplus except those men who are given the inside"
 The foregoing declaration by Con gressman Martin B. Madden of Hi nois on the floor of the House in April, 1920, is quoted by Marquis James in the fourth of his sensational "Who Got the Money?" series expos ing war and postwar graft and prof iteering, as indicative of some of of ficial Washington's attitude regarding the alleged steals. The fourth article appeared in the American Legion Weekly September 29.
 Congressman Madden asserted fav- orites of the war department had reaped profits of from 100 to 150 per cent. The substance of his allega- tions, the article says, was the basis for two indictments returned by the extra grand jury sitting in Washing ton of Ernest c. Morse, former Di- rector of Sales of the War Depart ment, the indictments accusing him, Everly M. Davis and Alexander w. Phillips, the last-named two chemical manufacturers of New York, with conspiracy to defraud the government. During MT. Morse's regime property which cost the taxpayers $1,685, ,000,- 900 changed hands.
 The article deals with three phases of these sales. A power plant which cost, it has been estimated, $143, ,000,- 900 being sold for $3,500,000. Lumber worth $4,697, ,000 sold for $1,S54 ,000 below the market level. Leather-the following is taken from the article:
 "A total of 5S0, ,182 horses and mules were on army property rolls during the war.
 "For these 2,OS3 ,204 nose bags were bought-more than three to each an- imal.
 "For these 2,S5O,S53 halters were bought--nearly five to each animal.
 "For these 1,627,199 brushes were bought-nearly three to each animal.
 "Of these 580,182 horses and mules, S6,000 were saddle horses. For these 945,000 saddles were bought-not quite eleven saddles to each horse.
 "A total of 712,510 sets of spur straps were bought, enough to sup ply every mounted officer with thirty six.
 Altogether our army leather pro- gram cost three-quarters of billion dollars. And one reason why, during and after the war, civilian shoes cost from $15 to $20 a pair was that the army program called for more leather than America produces--which may also be reason why Uncle Sam paid for 32,000,000 pairs of shoes an aver age of $7.15 a pair"
 The article quotes, concerning the leather situation, from the Graham congressional committee report that

School Notes


 New students enrolled: 9th grade, Anita Kirby, Maine, and Benny East erling, Warren, Arkansas; 10th grade, Mamie Thomas, Garland Prairie; 11th grade, Agnes Switzer, Flagstaff. This brings total high school en- rollment up to 92, an increase of over 40 per cent over last year at this time.
 In order to encourage better at tendance, Emerson school has adopted the plan of giving one hour holiday to all students who are neither ab- sent nor tardy during the month. Only one room had perfect attendance last month. This was Miss Ander- sons second grade.
 The kindergarten children have been busy working out little prof ect this month to send to some little kindergarteners in New York. How happy they have been moulding doughnuts, bread, cakes and pies from their own mixture of flour and salt. Each little tot can tell you the pro- portions. They have all the fun of mixing and stirring, too. Here they get a chance to develop their first co-ordinations of hand and brain. Col or combinations in the painting of their forms, brings out their observa- tions at home. We saw little box all ready to be sent to New York and it held the brownest of cookies, the finest of pumpkin pies, and big pink cake covered with cocoanut.
