counties financially unable TO give
them proper schooling; SO that while
the compulsory school law requires
six months of school, many of the
counties are too poor to provide it,
according to figures compiled by
Ralph E. Wager of Emory University.
On a 5-mill school tax, Fulton
county could spend $3.50 annually
on the education of each child of
school age, but Coffee county would
spend only S1.96 Consequently. the
state allotment of $3.50 per capita
does not begin to meet the deficiency
in the poorer sections.

SENATOR LADD
FOR UNDERWOOD
SHOALS SCHEME
North Dakota Radical
Had Talk with Cal
10y Tho Federatsd Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Progres-
sives in the senate, led by Senator
Norris, Of Nebraska, lost their fight
to prevent the turning over of
Muscle Shoals to private monopolies
when the senate, by vote of so to 80,
passed the Underwood bill providing
for leasing OF Muscle Shoals to
private companies.
Following a conference at the
White House between President Cool
idge and Senator Curtis, republican
floor leader, ten votes which were
recorded in favor of the Norris pro
posal, which provided for government
ownership and operation of Muscle
Shoals, switched to the Underwood
ball, assuring its passage The only
member of the progressive group who
allied himself with what Senator
Norris called a coalition of Under
wood democrats and Coolidge republic
cans was Senator Ladd, Of North
Dakota. Ladd voted for the Under
wood bill.
Only One Disappointment.
81 was told how many would
change and who they were," Senator
Norris declared, after the vote had
been taken on the Underwood bill.
Il think the vote will be disappoint-
ment to future generations"
A bill differing with the Underwood
bill in many respects but identical
with it in the plan to turn over the
government property to private cor.
portorations was passed by the hous,
during the last session. 1t is believed
that despite the opposition of the pro-
gressives in the house, where the
rules prevent the extended debates
which take place in the senate, these
differences will be ironed out before
the adjournment of congress.
