c. n. GADDIS, PIONEER
PASSED TO HIS REWARD
Death Follows Long Sufferine-De-
ceased Took Active Part i'm Civic
and Political Affairs

The entire Palouse country was
grieyed to learn of the sudden but
not entirely unexpected death Mon
day afternoon of Cassius n. Gaddis,
resident of Pullman since 1898.
Mr. Gaddis had been in declining
health for the past four years, and
for several months had been con-
fined to his home in the southwest
ern part of the city. Death came
quietly and peacefully when the
heart suddenly and without warning
ceased to function and one of Pull
mans best known citizens had passed
to the Great Beyond.
Mr.. Gaddis passed his 57th mile
stone only last Saturday, having
been born at Roseburg, Oregon, on
January %, 1865. Later he removed
to Spokane and in 1893 came to
Pullman to accept position in the
First National bank. Later he be-
came associated with John Squires
under the firm name of Squires &
Gaddis, and was a joint owner with
Mr.. Squires, in the flatiron building
on Main and Grand streets.
During his long residence in Pull
man Mr.. Gaddis took a prominent
part in civic and political affairs, be-
ing a lifelong republican, and was
we'll known throughout the county.
The cause of death was heart fail
ure, induced by dropsical complica-
tions.
Mr.. Gaddis is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Belle Gaddis, two sons
and one daughter. The sons are Dee
Gaddis of California, and Cassius
Gaddis IF. of Salt Lake City, Utah,
and the daughter is Mrs. Everett r.
Jinnett of Odessa, formerly Miss
Verne Gaddis.
Deceased was a charter member
of Spokane lodge, Knights of Pythias,
as we'll as a charter member of the
b. P. o. e. lodge at Moscow.
Funeral services were held yester-
dav afternoon at Kimball's chapel,
in charge of the Moscow Elks lodge,
with the Rev. w. A. Spalding of the
United Presbyterian church officiat-
| ing.

DIR. c. W. Stone and His students
Conduct Comprehensive Survey
of Pullman Schools and
Pupils

An interesting report on the sur
vey of local school conditions by stu
dents of the department of education
of the State College was given We'd
nesday afternoon before the school
board by Dr. C. W. Stone, professor
of education. and members of his
classes who have assisted in the
work. The report covered a two
year survey of the accomplishments
of the pupils in several grades as well
as a survey of the conditions under
which they work The work under
taken by the department of educa-
tion is designed primarily to improve
the thinking and the mental develop
ment Of the children through proper
conditions, both in the individual
and his environment. Not only is an
attempt made to discover the full
ability of every child, but efforts are
made to locate the Constructions" in
cases of inadequacy and steps are
taken to remove these distractions
and place the backward child as
nearly as possible on an even basis
with his more forward schoolmates.
The work is done without cost to
the school board, the department of
education securing compensation
only through the value of the work
to it's students from a practical
standpoint. Really remarkable
strides have been made during the
past two years and the forecast is
freely made that within a very few
years part of the office equipment
of every school superintendent or
principal will be a card index record
of the capability Of every individual
student in various lines, as we'll as
record of distractions in each case.
Charts prepared by the depart
ment 70 indicate the results OF silent

above the standard set as normal and
we'll above the rating of the county
as a whole, following a countrywide
test. other charts showed the rate
and quality of writing of the stu
dents of the various grades.

SURVEY OF LOCAL SCHOOLS

been interested in the survey
throughout the two years, explained
the illinois examination" which is
designed to show not only the gen
eral ability of the child under study
but to show the possibilities for rails
ing that ability through a careful di-
agnosis of individual conditions. A
test to show the achievement quo
tient of the students of the 4th, 5th,
9Th, 9TH, and Sth grades in reading
proved all but one of the grades to
be well above normal, while that one
was considerably below standard. The
mental age" of the students of all
of the grades was above standard
An unexpected condition was found
when similar tests were given to as
certain the achievement quotient of
the same grades in the operations Of
arithmetic The results showed the
grade which had fallen below stand
ard in the reading tests to be we'll
above normal in the arithmetic tests,
while all of the other grades were
below normal
In individual cases a diagnosis
was made to ascertain the reason for
superiority or inferiority, with the
physical condition. environment, in
telligence, home encouragement. ap-
plication and various other condi-
tons taken into consideration and
graded in each individual case.
The survey of conditions under
which the students work, which has
a great bearing in many individual
cases, included a study of the heat
ing and lighting of the various build
ings. A report on this survey was
made in writing to the school board
and will be followed by the members
Of the board in their effort to i'm
prove these conditions.
One salient item in this report con
cerned the survey Of the tempera-
ture conditions in the Edison build
ing. Every desk in one of the rooms
was tested separately and a chart
prepared to indicate the range Of
temperature at each desk. Danger
lines of high and low temperature
We're established on the chart and the

BETTER TAX SYSTEM
WOULD SOLVE TROUBLE
Tax Problem More II Question OF AIDE
nuate System Than Cutting of
Taxes, Says Cordell

1.-THE tax problem of today is more
problem of an adequate tax system
than of cutting taxes said Professor.
n. w Cordell, head of the depart
ment of economic science and history
at the State College, in a discussion
Of the tax situation at the chamber
of commerce luncheon Tuesday. In
taking issue with a statement by
George H. Watt that credits, bonds,
mortgages and other intangibles
should be taxed, Professor Cordell
stated that a direct tax on intangi-
bles would make of us a nation Of
liars and called attention to the fact
that such a system of taxation has
been tried and found to be entirely
Inadequate and unsuccessful. The
sneaker suggested a state income tax
as the only satisfactory method of
deriving tax benefits from intangible
assets, with direct tax on tangible
property He proposed standing tax
ties and states. as means of keep
inc in closer touch with tax problems
and making possible their solution.
Professor Cordell pointed out that
it is going to be hard to reduce the
county and state taxes, although
some relief may be afforded through
the medium of reduced costs, which
should be reflected in taxes. The
bulk Of the waste. if waste there be.
should be found at home. he urged,
but cautioned against the destruction
of personnel in the attempt to lower
the taxes. The average taxpayer. he
said demands a direct reduction in
taxes, which might, through q neces-
sary reduction in salaries, wages or
other items. destroy the personnel of
the school, or whatever institution is
involved Just as the average bust
ness man may cut the wages of his
employees as the very first stem in re-
ducing expenses and jeOpardize the
personnel of his business. so may the
same condition be brought about in
tax reduction methods, jeopardizing
or destroying the personnel that is
the very heart of the organization, in
many instances.
In touching upon the point that
the average taxpayer demands 100
per cent efficiency in the admins
tration of municipal, county, state
and federal affairs, Professor Cordell
cited figures to show that the bust
ness efficiency of the business men
of the United States is only between
40 and so per cent.
Of the seven billions of dollars in
taxes in the United States, the fed
eral government receives over three
and one-half billions, according to
figures presented by Prof Cordell.
The state governments get between
one-half and three-quarters of bill
lion, counties half a billion and the
local governments, schools and other
administrations other than county
receive one and one-half billions.

A King Coils the Trick

L King Victor Emmanuel OF Italy.
AS has been observed rather often of late, the king
business is not good the main reason being the utter
ncapacy of the average king to use his head Tor any
thing but a knob upon which to hang crown.
Up to now, every time king found the folks grow
ing away from him and wanting something different
from what he was giving them he has declared martial
law called out the troops and begun to shoot up the
people And in almost every case the king has come

and his family usually that-wth some to spare.
With King Victor Emmanuel it was different He
saw folks were disgruned tired of the way his gov
eminent was running things So when the rebelng

effect went out to meet them.

And the trick was turned The revolution became a

Ford's Dream

II ENRY FORD, visiting Boston, makes this star
l. Ting prediction: within few years. wouldn't
be surprised If it within five six years-we
won't be mining coal any Coal will be burned
underground right where it is found, and the by
products utilized
Probably we'll utilize all the gas too for heat light
and power Some Of the be utilized where
it is generated under the ground What heat is wasted
by this method won't be nearly as important the
of human energy which results from present
method of mining COAL and the waste involved in trans
porting and distributing It,"
Just how Ford would work this dream out in a prac.
teal way, he doesn't say. But it is possible.
Then too, Ford has become an enthusiast about
white coaT'-water power.
He sees the day when drops Of rain will be
transformed into electricity.
He says the power going to waste in rain can be
estimated by locay's inches Of annual rainfall and
the distance the rain drops in making its eventual way
back to sea level Part of this power unquestionaby
could be chained up.
Ford proposes Collect the water fat lands dur
ing the winter. Drain it off water power during the
spring. And in summer you'll have wonderfully fertile
land for your crops In the autumn after the harvest
let the water collect again"
This latest dream OF Fords results from trip he
made the other day into a coal mine He went about
three miles underground and found "a terrible place
to be in, no fit place for human being to work.
More than half million Americans toll underground
to get coal. In other words to get power.
Meantime, tremendous power is going to waste in
falling water in the tides. in the wind in the
suns heat All these will be harnessed some day Ma
ture has placed unlimited power at disposal Human
drudgery will end when learn how to harness these
natural forces.
Harvesting them is long, slow job. But it'll come.
Nature gives us what we need. Her price is constant
toll and patience of the road IS far off, but it'll be
worth the journey, for humanity.
