DISARMAMENT HALTED

1t has been somewhat of shock to
the American public to learn that
none of the disarmament treaties ne
gotiated at Washington last winter
are yet officially effective, because
none of them have been ratified by all
the powers concerned.
France has paid no attention to
them whatever. Italy has not yet
taken final action on them. Though
the United States, Great Britain and
japan have done considerable dis
mantling of condemned ships, and
stopped construction on some new
ships, the effect in actual fighting
power is not great. In fact, Senator
Borah insists that cup to this time the
work of the conference, (for limita-
ton of armament) has been wholly
without result"
The ships already scrapped, it is
explained, are ships that were obso-
lete anyway, and their elimination

IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN

Our high school opened last Monday
morning and owing to the increased
cost Of the text books which parents
had to buy, our state text book COM
mission is being cussed and abused as
never before.
The text book commission allows
the people to be robbed with the
grating prices now being paid for
school books.
For instance: A Civil Government,
North Carolina pays Acc, Florida pays
$1.40.
A Geography: Ohio pays Sac, Flor
ida pays SO cents until the recent
raise by the text book commission
Now the price is 81.
Question is, how much of this graft
is going into the pockets of our state
officials Jasper News.
We would not charge graft, but it is
in order for the school officials to ex
plain. They have often been request
ed to do so, but have never conde
scended to comply.

AN ERRONEOUS ARGUMENT

Mr.. Van Roy, nominee for repre-
sentative from Citrus county, in his
argument against reapportionment,
which seems in favor with the South
Florida papers that agree with him,
makes a statement that a ten-year-old
boy could disprove.
Mr.. Van Roy says:
eff we pass this amendment and if
the 1923 legislature fails to reappor-
ton the state at either the regular or
special session, we will be tied for ten
years because this amendment spe-
officially provides that IF the legis-
lature that will meet A. D. 1923 or
any succeeding legislature that shall
meet every ten years thereafter shall
refuse or fall etc.
If Mr.. Van Roy is correct, the legis-
lature broke the law in submitting the
amendment to the people, for the con-
stitution does not require it to do so.
It only requires the legislature to re-
apportion the state, which it hasn't
done.
The truth is that any Legislature
can call on the people to vote on an
amendment to the constitution at any
general election.
Mr.. Van Roy and his sympathizers
seem to suppose that the Legislature
of 1923, if the reapportionment
amendment carries, is likely not tt
act on it. Such supposition is I'M
reasonable. It's the Stars opinion
that the legislature will act and ac
for the good of the state-unless tn
South Florida irreconciliables blocl
the proceedings.

MARION COUNTY FAIR

There hasn't been much mention of
the Marion County Fair lately, but
the people needn't suppose it is dead
or even sleeping. Secretary Bennett
informs the Star that preparations
are being made and if the people will
only come out and take interest we
will have the best fair ever. Secre-
tary Bennett is now making arrange
ments. for attractions and expects to
have a full line of live and clean
amusements.
1t is time for the farmers, stock
men and manufacturers to be prepar-
ing their exhibits. We hope there will
be longer line than ever of COM
munity exhibits. There are number
Of live communities in the county that
have not shown up at the fair yet, but
they can make fine shows if they will.
The dates this year are Nov. %, 29,
80 and Dec. 1. Thanksgiving comes
this year on Nov. 80. Don't forget the
dates.

EIGHT YEARS AGO

Oct. 7, 1914.-A vigorous German
offensive on the Allied left caused the
British to send large forces to rein
force the French from Roye to Douai.
At noon half a million men were en-
gagged trying to hold the new line,
which is nearly a hundred miles long
running at angles toward the north
from the line on which fighting has
been going on for nearly a month. On
the other end of the front the French
gained ground along the Mouse.
Russians claim an unbroken series
of victories all along the eastern
front,

Durin' tn critical period in young

BRIDGE ON NAcoZARi RAILROAD IS BURNED
 TRAIN IS HELD HERE

DOUGLAS. March 1.-The south bound Nacozari train was held in Agua Prieta yesterday due to the burning of bridge near Fronteras. The cause of the fire has not been determined, but it is believed that cinders from an engine set fire to the structure. It is also considered pos sible that careless campers left a camp fire burning when they moved on. It is known definitely, railroad officials say. that it was not the work of rebels or bandits.
 A temporary bridge is being hastily constructed in order to permit pas. sengers stranded in Douglas to retu r to Nacozari. The first train is ex. lected to pull out today.
