locality because property has so RAJ

borrow money to build homes, TO inn

impossible for us to get credit now.
There is not a banking institution
in Boston which would give us an
opportunity"

THINKS WEST INDIES HAS ASSET
IN NEGRO.
Archbishop HutsOn, at Synod Here
Discusses Race Problem.

New York. N. Y, Sept A. The NJ
gro problem Of the British West In
dies is Far less difficult than that OF
the United States in the opinion of
bishops of the Anglican church of
the Province of the West Indies,
which is holding its Triennial Synod
at the church Missions House, 281
Fourth Avenue. The Right Rev. Ed
ward Hutson of Antigua, archbishop
of the province, is presiding at the
synod
Most of the work of the church in
the West Indies is among the. blacks"
said Archbishop Hutson to-day. But
somehow the negro problem in the
West Indies is not so difficult as in
the United States. Our negroes seem
to be more amenable, and there is
less feeling between in white and the
black races.
There Is virtually no social inter
course between the two races, but we
all worship together and go to the
altar together. Negroes and whites
are absolutely equal before the courts,
as they are before the church. OF
course we haven't the political prob
lens that you have in the United
States. because practically all the
provinces are governed as Crown
Provinces. But we do have race riots,
and lynchings woul not be tolerated"
The blacks in the British Provinces
are not SO well educated among the
rank and file as in this country. Arch
bishop Hutson said. They go to
schools where they are taught to
read and write, and lead an agri-
cultural life, live In houses where
conditions are very primitive and
where they do not have anything to
read. so that the most of them soon
forget it.
However, we have had some very
highly educated and distinguished
negroes" thisArchbishop added. Sir

WASTE In PUBLIC BUSINESS.

birmingham, Alabama, affords, at
this writing, an example OF prodi-
gaiity that should illustrate the inn
pfacticapility Oh men. WITH a bond
ed indebtedness exceeding $li,000,000
there is pending proposition to Is
site 9,,UUO,00O more. The purpose OF
t!ns huge loan does not enter this dis
eusslon necessarily, buC tthe avoWed
| object is Il worthy one-the schools.
1t is said the ambitious program of
the Board of Education is not intend
ed to be completed at once, but build
ing operations a,e TO be extended over
i've years. The full amount is to be
provided in a single authorization to
avoid the uncertainty attending the
approval Of successive smaller issues.
1t the city is able to make the loan
at par at five per cent, the interest
will amount to S350,000 year. This,
added to fixed interest charges on
other bonds, would carry the interest
cost of Birmingham's bonded debt
to more than $1,000,000. Opponents
OF the bond issue claim they are anx-
lous for improvement of education
but insist the same result can be
reached without adding to the interest
burden. They point out that the
present revenue yields a surplus
about equal to the interest of the
proposed bonds, and by raising by
taxation the amount intended for in
terest the new construction would be
accomplished without the payment OF
interest at ali. There is logic in this
plan.
There IS an element in the promo
ton OF public bond issues which seem
10 stand out in this mattter-the ad-
vancement of selfish ends. There is
almost always, for that matter.
Smith has land he desires to unload.
lie finds the market dull anu his land
unstable; he at once sees the neces-
slty for public enterprise 6 take
1t off his hands. Jones may have idle
money, and these bonds are safe in
vestment. Brown wants employment.
Ihls may assue it temporarily. Any
OF dozen reasons may influence the
ordinary man. But the real basis for
the demand may safely be ascribed |
to usury, desire to keep up the in, |
terest rate on bonds. Without public
competition for idle money, interest
rates on commercial and industrial
loans would not remain so high, and
production would be cheapened. This
in turn would tend to reduce prices in
retail trade; for eventually the burd-
el Of taxation rests on the ultimate
cc-sumer. -Dearbon Independent. i

TAKING JOY ALL OUT OF LIFE.

We think we're happy and living gay;
Our life is a dream from day to day.
We press the button that makes us
go;
We're running in high and not In low.
We're having fun as we pass along
Never dreaming how the time mas
gone;
We seldom think of the little STRIFE
That's taking the joy all out OF lie.
We're living life that's very fast'
Little thinking how long it will last;
We never can see how it will end,
We make mistakes we never can
mend.
There's something ahead we cannot
see
The time is flying and SO are we;
We're looking for things that's al
ways rife,
They're taking the joy all out OF life.
We always hurry 50 we may get
Oxford eagle., 1922-06-29
through.

And miss many things that we should
do;
We pass the good and gather the bad,
And miss the things we wish we had.
Life is a gamble-we make it SO;
We start many things that never will
go.
We're seeking others that are not SO
nice,
And taking the JOY all out of life.
Then, why should we live for just to-
day,
Always throwing our time away?
How often we hear when one gets old,
The same old story that's often told !?
Could we live again our lives all Ger,
We'd look around just little more.
Before we speak we better think
twice,
Then there will be more joy in life.

Morris tribune., 1922-04-14

Editor Morris Tribune:
1 find that many people have altogeth-
err a wrong idea as to the control that
the county commissioners have over tax
alton, and as this is election year and
there is a good deal of talk about taxa
ton and the reduction of taxes, I deem
it advisable to call everyOne's attention
to the following facts and statements.
For the year of 1921, the County
Board levied $78,145.7O, or a little less
than one-sixth of all the taxes levied in
the County. Of this amount, the Coun-
ty Revenue Fund is the largest, being
$42.782.74 AS a matter of fact, in the
spending of this fund, the Board only
has absolute control of very few thous-
and dollars.
The law fixes the minimum salary of
the Auditor, Treasurer Sheriff, Clerk.
and Probate Judge, also the amount that
each of them can use for additional help.
These are fixed at the minimum allowed.
The salary and mileage allowed the
Morris tribune., 1922-04-14

truthfully say it is as good as ever laid
out of doors. One only has to travel a
little to be thoroughly convinced of that
fact. AS we are located here in the
most mountainous part of the state, till
able land is scarce and high in price.
Hay alfalfa is the principal crop and in
fact it is the only sure crop as it freezes
occasionally here every month in the
year. laundering is the main Occupa-
ton and the Lincoln Co. has some of
the finest stands of pine in the cOun-
try. Logging is all done with what is
called steam TANNERS. They are steam
engines which are connected to large
drums on which sometimes a mile of
steel cable is wound. These cables are
used to haul in the logs and then they
are hoisted on to railroad cars and
hauled to the mill several miles away.
The manufacture of lumber is a rapid
process, especially when a certain grade
is wanted to supply the demand.
Logs can be taken out of the pond at
the mill, sawed, kiln-dried, dressed and
loaded ready to ship in forty-eight hours
In closing will say we are very much in
terested in the development of Stevens
county and Morris and shall enjoy
watching them grow. With best wishes
to the Tribune. we are, yours truly.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bateman.

Morris tribune., 1922-04-14

County Board is absolutely fixed by law.
The amount of printing that the County
has to do is also fixed by law, as we'll as
the rate for printing, unless a lower bid
is received. The supplies, fuel, lights
and necessary equipment for keeping the
Offices in operation have to be purchased,
and there is no option but to pay for
them, and in this there can be no saw
ing as all is bought in the most economs
ical method possible. All the Board can
do with the court expenses is to pay the
bills as presented, which amounted to
over $6,O0O.O0 in 1921, as we'll as the
election expenses which are very heavy
in each second year, with this year the
added Delegate Election expense of
$33O.1O Then the Board fixes the sal
airy of the County Superintendent, Coun-
ty Attorney, the janitOr, the weed inspec-
tor. and these officers we are compelled
to have, so no great saving could be had
here. The Board also set the amount al
lowed for extra clerks in the Office of
the Auditor and Register of Deeds. All
salaries that the Board has jurisdiction
over are lower this year than in 1921.
when all these necessary amounts are
paid, it leaves very little of the County
Revenue Fund to use for other purposes.
About all that is appropriated outside
of these necessary expenses, is towards
the Child Welfare Board, the County Ag-
ent, the County Nurse and the County
Fair.
The next item is the Road and Bridge
Fund, of $25,O44.24. AS long as we con-
tinue to use the State Aid of $22,OOO.OO,
which we are to receive this year, it will
be necessary to levy about this amount.
If the people so desire, this levy can be
cut and by so doing will lose the State
Aid which will mean a stop to road
building.
Then comes the item of County Poor
Fund. The expenses in this department
take all that is levied, and 1 am sure
that no one wants to see our unfortun-
ates left uncared for
The last item is the County Sinking
Fund. This has been levied for any
emergency that might arise, and can be
discontinued whenever the board deems
that a sufficient amount is on hand to
meet any probable emergency, however,
the rate for this in only one-half of one
mill.
Our county will be out of debt this
year, so far as general Indebtedness is
concerned. All other bonds being cared

Teachers wages.

Morris Tribune:
AS I know the editor of this paper has
always been a friend of the field of edu-
cation I would very much like to see
this published.
In regards to Economy Measures Hit
School Wages" of last week, I wish to
say that if the rural teachers should
submit to the eight to ten per cent de-
crease let us put this decrease on some
of our other so called important county
agencies also.
The average rural teacher works for
all they get and have been the under
paid class of workers for several years
back Take a teacher with from twenty
to thirty pupils with all grades coming
in any time of the year and doing all
the work that would ordinarily call for
two teachers this is the field of the aver
age rural teacher. Where is the nurse
that will go in the school on mornings
when it is 20 degrees below? or our
county agent to organize clubs for the
boys and girls? But here we find the
rural teacher with her fire built and
ready to warm the little country boy
and girl on the coolest of mornings. We
all believe in economy but let us keep
a warm place for the teachers of our
country boys and girls.
