Shank today ordered William Bos-

test any increase in the 1925 school
Icity levy before the State tax board
as a further step in his campaign
to reduce taxes
A prospective increase Of SO cents
in the tax. levy of the school board
has been asked, making rate OF
approximately $1-1S- The 1924 levy
was 1925 cents.
Too Many FTub-dubs
There's no use reducing cur
city levy from $1.08 to $1.o5 and let
the school board run away with the
peoples money" said the mayor.
"They can do away with a lot of
tiub-dubs that none of us had when
we went to school There's too
many of these extra courses without
the fundamentals"
Bosom replied that he would like
nothing better than to assail high
err school tax before the State tax
board.
Richard o. Johnson, school busi.
ness director stated he would cut
several items on the tentative
school budget
Too Much Last Year
Last June" Johnson said, I'VE
transferred from about thirty-nino
funds to other funds Approximately
$4,000. Many funds appropriated
last year were unnecessarily high.
This year we should not make the
same mistakes. In places where I
know the appropriation to be higher
than necessary will cut it. have

Johnson said the budget is only
in a preliminary form at present
and will be subject to revision and
it may be much lower than 1t is at
present, he said.

The commissioners insist the county

VENUS FORGOTTEN:
MARS GIVEN SPOT
All Because Great Star Is Becoming Neighbory Only
100000 Miles Away.

Mars, the bright star rising in
the southeast in the evening, and
shining with an unusual brilliance,
is monopolizing all the celestial lime
light and attention of astronomers
these fine summer nights. All over
the world, telescopes are being
trained On the great red star night
ly, to the utter neglect Of many stel-
lar performers in the heavens which
have been accustomed to get the
lions share of attention in the past.
Jupiter, with it's trained troupe of
nine moons, some of tfrsm larger
than the earth, which play leapfrog
of fancy eclipse stunts; Saturn, with
its exclusive bands of multi-colored
light encirchng it like a rainbow
hued speedway. and all the others
are relegated to background by as
tronomens for the time being.
Even Venus, that beautiful fiapper
of the planetary system. is doing
her stuff so early in the morning
that few law-abiding citizens get a
glimpse of her.
The cause of all this Marian en-
thusiasm is the fact that Mars and
the earth are more neighborly than
they have been for more than a cen.

globe.
According tofRussel Sullivan, 1431
n. Meridian St, Mars and earth will
be closest on Aug. %. when mere
trifle of $4,000 900 miles viii separate
them.
Owing to the fact that Mars has

been the most discussed of all mem
bers of our solar system with its
canals and snow caps, astronomers
are making the best of the oppor-
tunity to get as much information as
possible before Mars goes rambling
off into space until its orbit takes it
about 100, 100000 miles away from
US.
If Mars is causing all this comnho-
ton among earthly beings, the stir
among Marian scientists must be
even greater, for the earth's diane
ter is just about twice as great as
that of Mars, and the size and bril-.
lance of the earth must be CORE
spondingly greater when viewed
