While Washburn, struggling to
regain it's feet, financially, after
a period of depression following

of 7.01 for the coming year, Gin
giles, a newly created town in Ash
land county, has announced a rate
of 1.66. Both of these rates have
occasioned surprise, Washburn's
rate because it is so high and Gin
giles because it is so low. The tax
rate in the city of Ashland is OBS

ROBINSON WOULD
 MODIFY LANGUAGE
Democratic Senator Has New
 Wording for Resolution

Washington, Feb. l.-Senator Rob- inson, democrat. Arkansas, author Of the resolution requesting resignation of Secretary Denby, submitted in the senate today a substitute modifying the language so that it would con- form with the action taken yesterday in the adoption of the cancellation resolution.
 Tho assertion by Senator Moses. republican, New Hampshire, that partisan snipcrs were making a rife pit of the grave of Warren Hard- ing" in the discussion of oil leases. drew hot reply from the democratic side as soon as the senate convened.
 Senator Ashnrst, democrat. Ari- zona, declared this statement was without foundation and was ''particu- larly offensive coming from the side which invaded President Wilson's sick room In December, i9l9."
 "On that date" he said. "a man lay sick who was as surely casualty of war as any soldier; n man whose great soul may soon become part of eternity. But inc then secretary of Inc interior rapped upon that door. Now Secretary Fall is said 10 be un- der the shadow, but the public lands committee has loo much respect for the proprleties to enter his room."

LIGHT INTEREST IN CAFETERIA AT H. s.
Only 5SS of i,S0S Parents Mail
 Ballots on Question

Only 5S3 parents out of 1,Sos to whom ballots were sent voted on the question of whether or not cafeteria should be installed in the Senior high school, according to announcement made this morning at the office of Superintendent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes, and of those voting 342 fav- ored the lunch room while 241 were opposed.
 The school committee announced several days ago that, if there was a close vote or an overwhelming ma- jority in favor of a cafeteria, an item of s5,000 would be included in the school budget for this purpose. Whether the fact of. a light vote, which is not regarded as represen- tative ballot. will influence the com mitteemen to change their minds, is a question being discussed today. It is generally conceded that the cafe teria question will receive little con- sideration at the hands of the board of finance and taxation and will be stricken from the budget, if the school committee does see fit to include it.
