SCHOOL ELECTIONS
ARE UP TOMORROW

School elections will be held in SO
common school districts in Latah coun-
ty tomorrow, according to a call is
sued by Miss Lillian Skattaboe, coun-
ty superintendent of public instruc-
ton. This does not include the three
Independent high school districts IN
the county-Moscow, Genesee and the
Deary rural high school,
The elections will be held in the
afternoon. Directors will be elected
in each district and each district will
vote special levy. In some cases the
limit of 10 mills special levy will be
necessary to meet the operating ex-
penses of the schools. 1t has been
necessary to vote special levy each
year, for several years past, in order
to meet the maintenance expenses,
which increased each year until the
past year. The high school tuition,
under the law enacted in 1921, by the
state legislature, also adds to the ex-
pense of the rural districts.
The expense of giving the children
of district a high school education
devolves upon the district, in this
state, and was formerly fixed at 81
per pupil. The last legislature chang
ed the law to provide that the local
district pay the actual expense, which,
in this county, ranges from SO to SIS
per month per pupil. This costs some
of the rural districts as high as $1100
for the school year and is, of course,
a factor in increasing the levy.
The cost per pupil is lower in the
Moscow high school than in any other
high school in the county, being but
SO per month per pupil Pupils from
many country districts are sent to
the Moscow high school, which ranks
high among the high schools, not only
in Latah county, but throughout the
Inland Empire, and which affords the
young people the advantages of a
first class high school at minimum
cost

TAXES FOR 1921
:. FAR ABOVE | 1920
INCREASE COMES IN SCHOOLS.
HIGHWAYS AND VILLAGES
STATE AND COUNTY LESS

Although state and county taxes
show a decrease, taxes for schools
highways, cities and villages are tend
ing to force the total revenue of the
state for 1921 above the "a million
dollar mark established for 1920.
An analysis of the 1921 revenue of
10 representative counties of the
state completed Tuesday in the office
of B. E. Hyatt, director of the bu-
reau of public accounts, seems to veri-
fly this statement, says an article in
The Statesman.
The counties taken as representa-
tive of the state are the following:
Kootenai, Clark, Custer, Lemhi, Pay
cite, Cassia, Latah, Benewah, Bound
ary and Nez Perce. All figures are
being taken from the annual reports
of the counties now being filed with
the bureau.
State and county taxes in every one
of these counties but one have drop
ped in 1921 under the figures report
ed for 1920. Benewah county shows
an increase in county taxes from $685.
859.67 in 1920 to $177,8811 10 in 1921.
State taxes in every one of the coun-
ties mentioned have dropped but this
is due mainly to the repeal by the
1921 legislature of the 2-mill state
highway levy. Many of the items of
state tax have increased and some
new items of taxation were added by
the legislature, but the net change
has been decrease. State taxes
10.S per cent under the figure
reported by these counties for 1920
Increase of 2.6 Per Cent
The total taxes raised in the 10
counties for all purposes in 1921 is
$103, ABBA greater than the amount
raised in 1920, or an increase of 26
per cent In 1920 these counties rails
ed SO, ,951, ,833.S8 and in 1921 the amount
was $4,055, ,25722. The analysis takes
into account taxes raised for state,
schools, highways and cities
and villages. Considering these five
classes, four of the counties show a
net decrease and six a net increase in
axes for 1921.
Taxes for cities and villages in the
10 counties show the largest percent
age increase in 1921 over the 1920
igure of 1875 per cent. Money raised
or cities and villages in 1920 in the
county named totaled $453, ,249.02 and
n 1921 the amount was $510, 0,39465,
,r an increase of $57, ,145.63.
Money for schools nj 1921 was ST.
5O7498.2S and in 1921 was $685.
,0707 or an increase of $181 ,108.79.

HISTORY STUDENTS HEAR
OF MINERAL WEALTH

Francis A. Thomson, dean of the
school of mines at the University of
Idaho, on invitation of Professor C.
]. Brosnan, addressed the students
OF Idaho and Inland Empire history
yesterday on the subjects of the min
eral resources of Idaho.
Dean Thomson presented the tech
nical facts in regard to the states
mineral resources and mineral de-
posits, in language that the Iayman
could follow. He also wOve in some
interesting history. He stated that
Idaho's greatest mineral deposit is
her phosphate, in the southeastern
part of the state A recent federal
geological survey, according to Dean
Thomson, shows that the state has
five and one-half billion tons of phos-
phate, which will have a market
value, as it needed, of one dollar
per ton, or five and one-half billion
dollars.
The class of So students, studying
Idaho history under Professor Bros
nan this year, is several times the
largest class ever enrolled in the in
stitution and is probably the largest
class studying local and regional his
tory in the northwest.

AMERICAN
PLANSlJOINT MEET
WOMAN'S AUXILIARY AND MEN,
BERS OF LOCAL POST TO DIS
CUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS

Several important matters will
come before the joint meeting of the
American Legion and the Woman S
Auxiliary at the chamber of COM
merce room next Monday evening.
The post is anxious to increase it's
membership at this time as the COM
ing celebration on July will take
great deal of personal effort.
The present paid membership of
sixty-four shows that the post is
growing rapidly but a great many
more ex-service men will be needed
In ordere to put on successful cele-
bration. The meeting next Monday
evening will afford an excellent op-
portunity for ex-service men to come
out and join. At the same time they
should bring the wife and mother and
sisters to join the auxiliary unit The
auxiliary will also have large part
in arranging for the celebration and
will need added strength.
Speaks on Forest Protection
Next Monday being the first day of
forest protection week the post has
asked Professor Schmidt of the for
estry department of the university to
address the joint meeting on the i'm
portance of protecting our standing
timber Some interesting facts about
just how important these forests are
to the continued prosperity of north
ern Idaho and to the people of Mos
cow will be given. DR.. Schmidt is
we'll qualified to speak on this sub
ject and since he is an ex-service man
his attendance at the meeting will be
particularly welcome
Plans for the features to be staged
at the celebration will be continued
and work that the ladies of the auxil-
ary will undertake will be discussed
The plans Of the American Legion
will be taken before the joint meet
ng of all organizations interested in
he celebration scheduled for Tuesday
evening at the chamber of commerce
'oom for continued discussion
One Theatre Open on Sunday
The advisability of continuing to !
'un both theatres every Sunday af-
ernoon will be taken up. 1t has
,een suggested that it would be morre
profitable to run only one theatre /
ZACH Sunday afternoon and thereby
educe the overhead expense.
If the continued illness of Comman-
Ter Thomas prevents his attendance
Sergeant Nagele, who is vice com
nander, will preside.

DIVISION OF ROAD
funds A PROBLEM
OF FEDERAL
FUNDS, ECEXPT FOR LOLO
PASS AGREED UPON

In the allotment of federal funds
to road construction witnih or part
ly within the national forests in Ida
ho, a program covering 19 projects
has been agreed upon at a conference
between the state and federal high
way and forest officials, at Boise, and
another rests only on the determina-
ton of the source of funds This is
the Lewis and Clark-Lolo Pass high
way.
The estimated cost of the pass high
way is $250,000. The apportionment
proposed by the federal officials did
not meet with the approval of the
state officials and objections have
been filed with the secretary of the
United States department of agri-
culture.
The state contends that 100000
of the cost of the highway should
come from that known as the forest
development fund, while the forest
officials would agree to only $1,000
from the forest development fund and
$150,e00 from the forest highway
fund
There is more than 100000 of
forest road money that is to be spent
in Idaho, approximately half of which
is known as forest highway funds"
and half forest development funds"
The proposed highway over which the
disagreement arose, will come into
the state from Montana, in the north
eastern part of Idaho county, across
100 miles of the Selway national for
est and join the state highway sys-
tenn at Kooskia.
The apportionment of the funds for
the various projects, aside from the
Lewis and Clark-Lolo Pass highway,
is as follows:
From forest highway fund-Horse-
shoe Bend-Banks, $125,O00; Dubois
$28,0O0 (and $4,000 from the

REST ROOM VISITED BY
MANY EACH MONTH

The members of the w. C. T. u,
the last meeting, voted to make a
report on the city rest room, which
is operated under the direction Of
the organization, covering the past
six months The report, which shows
that the rest room supplies a real
need in the community, has been
submitted for publication in The
Star-Mirror.
The number of Moscow callers at
the rest room during the six months
numbered 1895, while those from
other communities or cities, number
ed 344, making total of 1539 Many
persons, however, make use of the
rest room and do not register These,
of course, canE1t be included in the
report. More than 40 towns outside
of Moscow were represented in the
list of persons visiting the rest room
during the six months.
The ladies in charge of the rest
room feel that it's benefit to the COM
munity has been fully demonstrated,
and wish to call attention the fact
that there are several items of ex-
pense connected with keeping it in
operation. The most important is
fuel. The fuel supply is almost ex-
hausted and it is asked that some
friend or friends, who appreciate the
work being accomplished, donate a
load, or part of load of wood, or
donate money toward the purchase
of the necessary fuel.
The time and work in connection
with keeping the room open is free
will offering from the ladies, and they
feel that the friends of the movement
should see to it that the fuel needs
are met.
