cur State. An overstatement in a

est and will not disturb the comfy be-
tween the law-abiding citizens of these
states. The Massachusetts motor au-
thoritIes do not want to rush to the
defense of their fellow citizens who

They are as glad TO have these dam
scrous drivers brought to terms as We

glad to have them taught lesson
there which they often escape at home.
The Massachusetts authorities are

there Is any state that keeps such good

does. Perhaps that Is why some driv-

School Costs
And Federal Taxes
In Maine 1852

Figures standing by themselves
mean very little, but wneH compared
with others. they become interesting,
colorful and convincing" declared
Commissioner A. o. Thomas of the
department of education. Zone does
not need to be reminded by figures,
|. however. these days that costs have
materially increased since the days
normally. Below are given the
school expenditures and the taxes
the state paid the federal govern
ment in 1916, 1918. 1920 and 1922. The
| federal taxes reached their peak in
1920.

1T will be observed that the in
crease in school expenditure in 1922
over 1915 is 1926, while the increase
in federal taxes is 1959@e. We some
times feel that expenditures should
not increase but as the family grows,
requirements become greater. In the
affairs of state and nation We find
Kew and vital things to do. 1t is
very difficult to keep exp, nditures to
the same level in Il grow ing concern.
The state and nation have new
problems the same as q family. The
main point is to get one hundred
cents worth of material and service
out of every dollar spent. Economy
is wise expenditure" -
