THE STATE BOARD CONSIDERS
MANY CHANGES in SCHOOL LAWS
AT MEETING HELD IN DOVER LAST FRIDAY SUGGESTIONS WERE
RECEIVED And CONSIDERED BY The STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION ABOUT The SCHOOL LAW
WILL GET PUBLIC SENTIMENT BEFORE ACTING
BEFORE ANY MEASURES ARE SUBMITTED TO The LEGISLATURE
THEY WILL BE GIVEN TO The GENERAL PUBLIC FOR
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL

Important changes to the State
school law will be recommended to
the next Legislature by the school
authorities of the State. One of the
most important suggested changes
Will be to allow special districts and
Trustees of Districts to levy tax not
to exceed rs cents on the 800 with
out a referendum. Such a change it is
thought would give a district an Op-
portunity to = .tTy out any urg N: im-
proVements without the expense or
the lost time Of holding a referen-
dunn.
Another proposed change is to al
low the rural school districts to bond
itself after referendum and approval
of the State Board, and make the dis
trict responsible for the payment of
the bond and interest.
These proposed changes were care
fully considered by the State Board
of Education at a meeting held last
Friday. Before recommending these
changes, however, the board proposes
to get the general sentiment on the
propositions and to do this the sug-
gested changes will be submitted to
Parent-Teacher Associations, oranges,
school trustees and other civic bodies
for consideration.
The changes that the State Board
suggests follow:
Allow District Trustees and Boards
Of Education to levy tax not to ex-
ceed rs cents on the 800, without a
referendum.
Provide for the sale of property |
when no longer needed for school
purposes.
Allow a school district to bond it.
self after referendum and approval Of |
the State Board, the same as Special
Districts, and make the districts in
question financially responsible for
payment of bond and interest.
Put enforcement of the Compulsory
School Law under the jurisdiction of
the Justices of the Peace.
Authorize the payment for trans
pOrtation Of school children when (
living more than a certain distance /
from schools providing the proper
grade. {
Provide for the organization of Jun {
ior High Schools wherever 9th grade
is taught, instead of the present So /
called 9th grade elementary school.
Provide that the 9Th grade shall not c
be added to any school unless mini
mum Of 10 pupils can be enrolled in {
such grade. t
Authorize Boards of Education to T
employ teachers before July 1, of the t
year preceding the time of service Of

MILFORD EASY FOR LAUREL

F"Joe" Rothrock's Milford High
School football eleven fell prey to
Laurel's savage attack at Laurel last
Friday afternoon when the Laurel
eleven trampled the Milford team un-
der a 4S to score. The large score
does not tell the entire story of Laur-
els attack, as the second string men
were used in the second half. The
Milford boys could not gain an inch Of
ground and were blocked in every
thing they attempted, several times
being thrown back for losses. During
the entire game the Milford eleven
did not gain a first down.

surance policies, AMOUNTS received
through accident or health insurance,
value of property acquired by gift or
devise. interest on State and certain
Federal bonds. etc, the revenue act
of 1921 provides that the rental value
of a dwelling and its appurtenances
furnished minister of the gospel is
exempt from income tax, and need not
be included in the return.
The exemption of $500 formerly
allowed persons in active military or
naval service OF the United States is
repealed. Amounts received under
the War-risk insurance and vocational
rehabilitation acts or from war pen
sions of the United States are exempt
and need not be included in the re-
turn.
The farmer is required to report as
gross income all receipts derived from
the sale or exchange oil farm products,
including crops and live stock whether
produced on the farm or purchased
and resoId. Where farm produce Is
exchanged for groceries, merchandise,
or other articles the fair market value
Of the articles received must be re-
ported as income. A farmer who rents
his farm on the crop-share basis must
report such income for the year in
which the crops are sold. Profit de-
rived from the sale or rental of farm
lands must be reported.
Items to be Included
Every taxpayer is required to in
clude in his return of gross income
the following items:
Interest received on notes and de-
posits in banks, including savings
banks.
Cash dividend on stock. The Su-
preme Court decided in March, 1920,
that stock dividends are not taxable.
Profits from the sale of such stock,
however, are taxable income for the
year IN which received. Only divl-
dends paid out of earnings or profits
accrued since March /, 1913, are tax
ed.
Profits received from the sale of
property, real, personal, or mixed,
the basis for ascertaining gain de-
rived from the sale or disposition of
such property acquired after March l,
1913, is cost. The basis for ascertain
ing the gain derived from the sale or
other disposition of such property
before March l, 1913, is like
wise cost, but
If its fair market price or value
as OF March 1 1913, was in excess of
cost, the gain is the excess of the
amount realized over such fair mar
l.et price or value. or example, a
purchased a house in 1910 for $4,000; |
its fair market value on March l, 1913,
was $4,000 and he sold in 1921 for
100000. The amount to be reported
IS gross income IS the difference be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, or $4,000.
T. the amount realized therefor is
more than cost but not more than its
fair market value as of March l,
1918, no gain shall be included in
gross income. For instance, if A, in
the above example, had sold in 1921
for $4,000, no taxable gain would
have resulted.
If the amount realized therefor is
less than cost but more than March
!, 1913, value there is no gain. For
example, if A purchased a house in
1910 for $4,000 and its fair market |
value Of March /, 1918, was $4,000 |
and he sold in 1921 for $4,000, no gain
would have resulted.

Claims Filed Since the ArniiS'
! tice Run Into the Hundreds
of Thousands
By THOMAS L. STOKES
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The tre-
mendous toll in physical disability TAX
en- by the world war in the ranks of
soldiers of this country is being
brought to light through the efforts of
the United States Veterans Bureau. A
total of 76O,153 claims have been filed
with the bureau by ex-soldiers since
it's organization.
During the past year three years
after the Armistice the bureau has
been literally swamped, approximately y
25O,0O0 claims having been filed in
1921, official records of the Office
here show.
Over $4,000 of these claims were the
result of the cleanup campaign con-
Quoted by the Veterans Bureau
throughout the country last year.
Thousands of disabled soldiers, the bu-
reau states, have only recently be-
come aware of the fact that the gov
ernment had made provision for their
relief.
Investigation by the bureau reveal
ed that there were great numbers OF
veterans suffring from major disablli-
! ties who lacked information as to the
proper method of filing their claims.
In many cases they were entirely ig-
norant of the relief provided by the
government.
Another cause for many of the late
claims now coming into the office is
that minor disabilities, which the ex-
doughboys thought too slight for COM
pensation have become major dlsablll-
ties through inadequate medical at
tention after discharge and on account
of the character of occupation in which
many of them have become engaged.
The United States Veterans Bureau
faces big job this year. Besides TAX
ing care of 104,57S men now in voca-
tional training, it must find way to
provide for 29,960 who are ready, but
not vet in training. The records show
that 153,650 men are now receiving
disability compensation. Last year
total of 245,153 claims were handled
by the bureau. Altogether 76O,153
claims have been filed withthe bureau
since the Armistice.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Alarmed at
growing unemployment and world
wide paralysis of trade, Europe's
statesmen are plannjr~' . r. rhty
move to hasten Europe 1UeunsIruc
ton.
English publicists in the main
agree rehabilitation will be most diff
ficult until the following problems
have been readjusted, or solved:
/. German reparations must be re
considered. .
2. Russia should be put on her feet
3. Europes debt to America must
be rediscussed.
BY re-adjusting the German repar-
ations payments it is hoped to restore
confidence in the European financial
situation and alleviate the present
debacle of the exchanges.
1t is considered imperative that
Germany should no longer be compel
led to print huge issues of paper
marks in order to find money to buy
foreign gold currency to meet repar-
ations payments.
British publicists are pointing out
that rigid insistence on Germany's
paying reparations in money is in
flicting serious damage to the entire
industrial world-includirg England.
Major Keith Treyor, partner in q
big firm or Lancashire cotton mer-
chants, summarized the feeling OF a
large and prominent section of Brit
ish business men, when he said in
an interview the other day, just after
returning from a trip to Germany:
eve may as we'll make up our
minds that when Germany suffers we
suffer also: that our economic inter
ests are closely wrapped up in hers
and that the reparations demands
are hurting us and our Allies and all
of Europe far more than they are
hurting Germany
Major Trevor insisted Germany is
not shamming when she requests
postponement of indemnity payments
but simply has not got the money to
meet the Preparations demands of the
Allies. She is defaulting, Major Ire
vor said, because she has neither the
money nor the credit to raise it.
Meanwhile there is much alarm IN
England over the serious unemploy-
