CONTRACTS MAY
BE REDEEMED
Board of University and
School Lands Makes Rule

Persons whose contracts for pur-
chase of school and university lands
have been cancelled because of de-
linquency in tax and interest pay
ments still have chance to redeem
without payment of the IL percent
penalty on the interest.
This is true as the result of action
of the board of/university and school
lands, according to Carl Kositzky,
land commissioner. 1t was decided
that any one who RENTS such sum
as to leave them only two years de-
linquent in interest and two years
delinquent on taxes shall not for
felt their lands, provided they make
these remittances before the land
commissioner has certified cancella
tion of their lands to the auditor
and treasurer of their respective
county.
The cancellations of contracts
were made in cases where interest
on the purchase contracts were 6
years or more over due and taxes
were three years over due as we'll.
BY paying before the cancellation
is certified to the county officials
the persons involved will save not
only the IL percent on the interest
due which they would otherwise have
to pay to redeem, but would have
the use of the land this year as we'll,
according to Mr.. Kositzky. Other
wise the lands will be leased later
in the spring and will not be avail
able for year.
He added that he would not GER
tify the cancellations for 2 or 3
weeks thus giving that time for re-
demption without penalty. Each per-
son whole contract is to be can
celled, will be notified.
A number of contracts have al
ready been redeemed, according to
the land commissioner.
There were 240 contracts cancel
led. Forty-eight of these were ir
Bottineau county, 20 in Cavalier and

other counties were less. Ward had

sons who would commit crimes
would not hesitate at breaking one
more law by wearing a mask"
Senator Peterson said the bill calls
for an effort to prevent crime, and
he thought it was good in this re-
spect. He said he thought there
were lot more foolish laws on the
statute books than the one proposed.
Senator Atkins, Independent, said
that in forbiding the wearing of
masks the law would give an oppol
tunity for officers to prevent crimes
before they were committed.
Senator Hamilton, Nonpartisan,
said "the more of these, bills we
are passing the more we are linking
church and state, and that is some
thing we have been trying to get
away from. am sorry that the bill
was introduced, because the opinion
will go out that there is religious
issue here when there is not
He said he was not afraid of the
Ku Klux klan or any organization
so long as he had a gun when the
masked bands came around.
Senator Bond, Independent, refer
red to the suggestion made that ex-
ceptions be permitted for organiza-
tions having ceremonies or at fun
erals, said he believed it was up to
the organizations to make their rit-
uals conform to laws, and not to pass
laws to conform to rituals.
The majority Of the committee
voted for indefinite postponement of
the bill making it unlawful for any
dance hall proprietor to permit any
one under 18 in dance hall, and
putting the burden of detecting the
age of the person on the proprietor.
There will be minority report. The
committee without dissent recon-
mended the uniform flying bill to
pass.

HILL ROADS
IN NAGREEMENT'
Dispute Over Big Interest
Payment Is Settled

St. Paul, Jan. 26 - Settlement
of the disagreement between the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
CHIC railways over the division of
interest charges resulting from the
S23O. 100000 joint Burlington
bond issue of 1921, has been made.
according to word received here
The disagreement was settled by
arbitration, the Northern Pacific
paying the Great Northern $780,
600. The arbitrators were j. P.
Morgan, George F. Baker and Ar
thur G. James of New York.
Each OF tn two Northerns, which
own equal shares of 81 per cent of
Burlington stock, was obligated
for $115.0O0,000 Of the joint bond
issue. These bonds were made
convertible into securities of the
two Northerns, the Great North
ern refunding through per cent
bonds and the Northern Pacific
through 6 per cent bonds.
This threw the heavier burden of
interest on the Great Northern and
that company held. that since it
was a joint financing move that
each Northern should pay half the
interest charge. The Northern Pa
cific opposed such equalization,
holding that it was entitled to reap
the benefit of its ability to convert
into bonds bearing lower rate Of
interest than was available to the
Great Northern at that time.
The settlement was in effect Z
compromise as the full amount
asked blythe Great Northern ex-
ceeded that allowed by the arbitra-
tors.

STATE
CAPITAL
To Merge Schools.

In II Maryland counties consolida-
ton of high and elementary schools
will be effected on a large scale this
year, with the possible addition of sew
eral new high schools to the State sys-
tenn.
Baltimore, Queen Anne's, Charles,
Anne Arundel, Kent, Frederick, Allie
gany, Cecil, Howard, Dorchester and
Calvert counties all figure in the
plans. Other counties urge schemes
which probably will result in. the
adjustment of the one-room school
house and the transportation of the
pupils to modern rural high schools to
be constructed shortly.
The information came from Albert
S. Cook, State Superintendent Of
Schools; William J. Holloway his as
sistant, and, DR.. Samuel NJ North,
State Supervisor of High Schools.
By canvass of the counties they
found many consultations contem-
plated. In some of the counties there
are extensions of the bus lines which
for several years have conveyed chill
dren from the rural districts into the
town schools. This has led to the
desertion Of the one-room rural
schools in many parts of the Eastern
and Western Shores.
A summary of the consultations
planned for this year follows:
In Baltimore county, Thistle Mills
School, the school at Grays and the
Della School will consolidate. y
In Queen Anne's, the bus lines which
have been transporting pupils to the
town schools will take on two more
buses.
In Charles county five rural schools
will be merged in large rural high
school. to be constructed at Glasva
near Faulkner. The land for the
schools-five acres-was donated by
farmer of the section, and it is the
intention of the county to make 1t
model school of it's type.
Anne Arundel county will see the
erection of Consolidated high school
at Glenburnie.
In Cecil county the two-year high
school at Fair Hill will be moved over
land one mile, and then consolidated
with several elementary schools. This
school is expected to grow eventually
into four-year high school, provided
sufficient pupils can be obtained.
Howard county will build new
high school at West Friendship, the
result of consolidation, and its pupils
will be taken to it in buses.
Dorchester county will build new
four-room school and consolidate two
others. The first consolidation there
was made last year with eight routes
and six buses. This year the increase
in the number of pupils going to the
consolidated schools will necessitate
the use of four more buses.
In Calvert county the schools at
North Beach and Chesapeake Beach
will be merged and new building
erected halfway between the two
towns.
