INITIATION TO AID BONUS.

Senator Iadd of North Dakota has
introduced an amendment to the Sol
iiers' Bonus bill. providing for n spe-
cial issue OF legal tender treasury
notes TO the extent of s2.5o0.o 100000,
n. a means of immediate payment OF
the bonus 10 those entitled TO 1t. These
notes would continue for twenty-five
wears and would be redeemed from
funds obtained by levying an excess
profits tax on banks. trust companies,
and other banking institutions.
How there Will be any excess
profits" to tax, with Congress bent
upon contracting huge expenditures
IN the form OF subsidies and other ex-
travagances to be paid out of taxa
ton. and aiming TO restrict business
and favor special interests by high
protective tariff duties. is n question
which many business men will find II
impossible 10 solve. No doubt II
would add enormously to their already
arduous duties in figuring out then
/ income returns.
And what influence such large
( imitation Of the currency would have
upon the general business of the coun
try Is another question that Will ta'
the brains Of financial experts anC
business men in general. Senate
Ladd's proposition is plain and simple
so far as providing money-hat none!
is concerned. but what its direct eff
fects would be Is another and IA

SHOULD SPEND THE MONEY.

At the meeting OF the Board of Edu-
cation, this week, Mr.. Shermer II.
Stradley called attention to the provi-
sion of the new School law which says
that all unexpended balances OF APP
propriations from the State must be
returned to the State treasury at the
expiration of the fiscal year, June 30.
Therefore. Mr.. Stradley urged upon
his fellow members tho propriety Of
expending the remainder OF the State
appropriation now on hand. so there
will be no money TO return when the
fiscal year expires. and suggested the
pressing demand for immediate repairs
to school property as n good channel
for this expenditure. Thereupon the
boards business manager was directed
to at once advertise for bids for the
performance OF "a much of this neccs-
sary and practical repair work as
possible.
Under some conditions. this course
might be looked upon as a mere sub
terfuge to warrant an unnecessary
expenditure of public funds. But this
objection does not apply 10 the situa-
ton that confronts the Board Of Edu-
cation. There has been pressing ne
cessity for school repairs for q Ions

It is regrettable that this situation
was not given attention much sooner
but there IS still time in which T.

school money before the time for sur
rendering unexpended balances TO III

W0MEN'S VIEW OF FARM LIFE.

q quite common view is that the head
of the farmers household has TO work

the privileges and pleasures open TO
city folk and seldom wants her own
daughters to become farmers wives.

States, decided to try out its numer-
GUS eaders by offering prizes for the
