Paris, June 1O.-Figures make tough
reading but in these serious times, es-
p~ecially among friends the need for
some knowledge IN which to base mu-
tual understandings is imperative. l
desire today to discuss our financial
situation, particularly the reduction
for military purposes. Our ordinary
budget for 1923 totals %, 179 ,OOO, 900
francs against 1925, OOO, 900 estimat-
ed receipts or a deficit of nearly $780,
600. The extraordinary budget
for pensions and reconstruction totals
23,OS4,OOO 900 frances. 80 per cent
of the ordinary budget represents a
service of debt and if we continue to
borrow to pay Germany's obligations
this enormous proportion will grow
larger.
1t often is said that our army and
navy absorb the greater part of our
resources, but the truth is that COM
pared with u pre-war record our
military increases are smaller than
other countries as the following table
shows: thus our military expenditures
including the gendarmine, which is
really a police and not a military force,
have steadily decreased since the
armistice:
900: 1920, 7,64S,OOO 900; 1921. 6.gl2,-
100000: 1922, ,OOO, 600: 1923.
100000. goo. In other words, COM
pared with 1913. our military expendi-
lures increased 266 per cent, whereas
the general cost of living increased
over 300 per cent.
Comparative Military Increase
My next label shows how Frances
military expenditures increase is less
than that of other nations, for against
Frances 266 per cent increase we have
the United States increasing $40,
Japan 332, Great Britain 274, Italy
81, Denmark $50, Norway 900, The
Netherlands 213, Switzerland 1853,
Sweden IA. The figures really show
that France. which has enormous re-
sponsibilities for maintaing the peace,
has not increased her military budget
abnormally. Her increase is less than
the United States, Great Britain. Italy.
Japan and Denmark while our civil ex-
also have been reduced.
In 1913 our civil list totalled 1904 .
100000 francs; 1920, 1877 OO, 900;
1921, 9.93S.OO0.O 900; 1922, 1885,
100000; 1923, 5,739,OOO,O 900.
Expenses Terrific
My final label vii show that the
that is eating our finances is
separations. We have spent for re-
construction, pensions and occupation
troops in Silesia and on the Rhine in
$3.50. 1000; 1919, 15,4S1.-
100000; 1920, 22,279,OOO. 900: 1921,
Il, 423, O00, 900: 1920. 23,OS4, 900, 900.
Any comment would be worse than
superfluous so l will only add, first,
We cannot greatly increase our taxes
which have mounted from four and one
lalf billion francs in 1913 to over
,wenty billions in 1922; secondly, we
,annot borrow for ever the interest

Log Cabin Serves For School
House In Lyons District

The folks in school district 26,
Lyons School, were determined to
have a good school and one close by,
at most any sacrifice, so they rented
an old log building and fixed up the
best they could in the circumstances.
1t hasn't exactly Is feet of floor space
and 225 feet of air space per pupil
but it will probably be recorded that
the grades at the Lyons School are at
lesat good as the average.
The district is so very small that 1t
is a difficult matter to raise sufficient
funds for a school.
They rave been having school in a
small log cabin which in no way comes
up to standard. 1t was impossible for
the district to bond for sufficient funds
to build a school house. They had
bonded for all their valuation would
permit. This last fall the people de-
cided the log cabin was too poor a
place for a school so they agreed to
use the money they had for material
and the people in the community do
nate their work by way Of helping.
Mrs. Ella Bradley is clerk of the
district, Chas. Thacker is chairman
and ]. t. Lyon is third member. Miss
Rosa Sack is the popular teacher. The
pupils and their grades follow:

Jones, Bertha AlbiSton.

Hqyseed Writes
Letter To Press
Politician Regarding
Schools
Dear Aunt Polly Tishan:

Dear Aunt Polly Tishan:
We noticed your editorials on the
high school tax a short time ago. Your
reference to the Abraham Lincolns
was good. You indicated that pupils
who work their way through school
average well in their grades. We be-
lieve that they should average better
on the account of their appreciation of
the advantage. That appreciation is
usually made keener by the h~ardships
that those less favorably situated have
seen. We believe that independence is
a great thing but that the average
American child is allowed to develop ii
most too young.
Your reference to fine school build
ings, pretty teachers, and other deco
rations was Just as good. They surely
cost a lot of money but if they deliver
the goods they are worth it. Could we
have a QUESTIONABLE? Does it make
a difference to a child who teaches
him? Do his habits develop in the
same way regardless of the teacher?
Is his character any different because
his teacher understands the psychol-
ogy of his development? Would you
rather your parents had stood for the
VI dAAAAN0 kCoN44CA III W 5OAO ~
would have cost them more.
One third Of Americas children live
in town. Two-thirds of the school
taxes are spent upon these children
So of course one third of the tax is
spent upon the remaining two-thirds
which are country children. We stand
for the country for it is the foundation
of our civilization.
Then it is proper to keep taxes where
they are but give the country children
two thirds of the tax money which
from any standpoint is theirs by
right. We want just a. big a proper
ton of high school graduates in the
country as in the city. We want the
strongest men and women there are
for our teachers. AS 1t is now high
school graduates are trained for city
life and we already have too much
town. Strong men are just like any
other animal; they go where they can
do the best. An authority says hat
for the first time in American history
high school students of the best met
tie are considering that teaching might
pay as a life work. This is as tt
should be.
If city children suffer because
country children are given their rights
then why not move to the country?
Is it any more preposterous to have
good schools in the country than in
the city? Otherwise the best thing to
do is no. to cut down on the support
of schools but to raise the budget un-
til every child in America has as
good opportunity as every other child.
Your loving nephew,
Jaydid Banker Hacede.
