The official statement OF Premier

declared Italy had committed no act
of war. that she had not even broken
diplomatic relations with Greece and
that there was no danger of war.

At the conclusion of the reading

Different blocks of he smaller
states, including those of the little en-

states of South America, are holding
meetings to decide their attitude to

ANY action that the board may take
in the future is predetermined, it was
explained. and is altogether depend
ent upon the assessed valuations OF
city property. II there is large
increase in the assessment. the school
tax rate would necessarily be lower, az
the rate will be fixed to barely cover
the demands of the school budget.
This impending increase in the
school tax rate is not a violation OF
any pledge made by the school board
during the course of the bond issue
campaign in June, 1922. the school
board office has explained. During the
campaign. the board promised the
voters that the increase during the
first year would not exceed ten cents
and the full amount would not BE-
levied until the buildings contemplated
under the present building program
were erected and in operation.
Voters Gave Approval.
For the current year, the tax rate
was raised ten cents. one cent OF
which was for the maintenance fund
and the other nine cents was direct
ed toward the sinking fund for the
So 100000 bond issue, only one-hah
of which was sold during the first
year in conformance with pledge by
the school board.
At the time the bond issue was
voted on in June of last year the ques-
ton Of whether or not the school board
would be allowed to increase the main
tenance rate to - cents, if needed,
was decided in the affirmative. BY
the action of the ~Oters, the old limit
OF 80 cents was raised TO ~ cents.
Members of the school board recall
that curing the $1,000 600 bond issue
campaign last year, the public was
Informed that if the bond issue was
voted there would necessarily be an
increase in the cost OF maintenance.
In any event, il was pointed out. the
natural increase in the rapidly grow
ing scholastic population would in
crease the cost of maintenance. At
that time. however. assurance was
given to the public that the tax rate
would be increased only as additional
revenues are imperatively demanded
b. conditions.
New Schools in Operation.
BY the time the new rate is levied
next spr:ng. the building program. con-
sisting of additions to elementary
schools and the addition of junior
high schools and one senior school,
will have been completed and sener'
ally in operation.
Belief was expressed by a school
board official that property valuations
will be greatly increased, and heres
the school tax rate Will b. several
cents lower than the margin OF y
cents allowed. The school tsx rate
lis calculated upon basis OF % per
cent collection.
The school tax rate for sli pur-
poses as fixed by the Constitution NAV
not exceed maximum Q. 81. Ire
I charter provides. however. that toe ai'-
proyal Il the voters in the district
necessary before the tex rate y ln-
creased. although the increase ny
brine the total rete far hort 81 t1e
maximum allowed by the state.

The Dog

The dog is just an animal 1t is
faithful animal although some say it
has no soul. 1t is intelligent. al
though it cannot make its thoughts
known to us.
The driver at the wheel Of car is
mana superior belng-endowed
with great intelligence aud with an
ability to express it in many ways.
The dog strays into the street be-
cause It is only a dog, and its limited
intelligence doesn't teach it any bet
ter.
The man at the wheel runs over the
dog because he is superior" being,
and because his intellect is so blunted
he doesn't care.
The dog, though mangled and dead,
