title to the property. This criticism
applies particularly where forfeiture

criticism is hardly valid one in

EDUCATION

Secretary of Methodist Board
Uses Baseball Terms For

Chicago, Feb. 3.-[P)-Christian cd
ucation is at bat with the bases full
in the last inning of the world series
and whether the batter strikes out or
makes q home run is the urgent edu-
cational question of the day.

corresponding secretary of the board

copal church, outlined the status Of

toward a Christian world. in his an
nual report to the board today.
On the bases, dependent upon edu-
cations ability to deliver the goods,
he placed evangelism on first; for
cign missions on second and home
missions on third. Only as the Chris
tian teacher makes good will these
prosper. he believed. :.
Christian teachers must fight the
substitution Of propaganda for the
truth and Of mechanistic theory of
the universe for the theistic cxplana-
ton. he said.
The board. over which Bishop w.
f. Anderson of Boston presides, had
before it reports covering 40 univer-
sites and colleges and secondary
schools under its auspices, with a
total value of buildings approximate
ing $1O0.OOO.O00.

transferred from New York to Chica-

ference, which also consolidated the
board Of Sunday schools. Epworth

Property forfeited to the county 40

could have forecloscd it's lien many
years ago, said T. H. II. Thorcsen,
state tax commissioner. in comment

"In some cases." he said, "this prop

from which the owner has derived an
income for many years without pay

Much of the property so held l., not
worth the accumulated taxes against
it but when the county acquires title.
the board Of county commissioners Is
given ample power to dispose OF the
property at whatever the board may
believe it to be worth and. regardless
Of how small the value may be, it is
better to have clean up and get
the property back on the tax rolls

COST OF ROAD,
WORK IN STATE
Is VERY LOW
Highway Bulletin Says Costs
Could Be Lower If Laws
We're Changed

Highway construction cost in
North Dakota is low, if not actually
the lowest in the northwest, said
John T.. O'Neil, state highway con-
struction engineer. in an article in
the current issue of "The North Da-
kota Highway Bulletin"
"Our costs can be made even low
or by the pursuit Of u better and
broader construction policy" the ar
ticlc states. "Under the law as it
stands all highway projects originate
with the county, which results in
much scattered construction work
throughout the state and many small
units of work.
"This means Il contractor working
on a small job IN one place who is
II successful bidder for another small
job must move his equipment to the
latter. Three such moves in one
year entail mot only. considerable de-
lay but also no little expense. These
factors must be added as overhead
for the years employment and must
come out Of the contract work and
necessarily ought and do result in
higher prices.
Change In Laws Necessary
'If all of the work could be put
into one stretch il would mean con
tinuous employment without delay
and wi..hou. moving expense. Such :,
policy cannot be inagurated until the
state highway commission is author
lied to build highways out Of its own
funds and at such places and for
such lengths as its judgment may
/, .em best. 1t would involve COM
plete change of the present policy
of highway construction and financ-
ing. It would also bring about keen
err competition among tho larger and
stronger highway contractors"
