TREASURY WILL NOT
 REDUCE TAXATION
 BY USE WAR DEBTS
MPRACTICABLE TO PERMIT 1928 LIBERTY BONDS TO
 MATURE

WASHINGTON D. C., Aug. 27. (P- Acting secretary Winston said the treasury will adhere strictly to the policy of not using the war debt in terest and receipts to reduce taxation. He declared the application of S15O,- 100000 of such payments annually to the public debt, was necessary and that these payments usually have been made in bonds thereby automat- ically retiring the bonds the treasury hold. The resale of such securities which are application payments on the tax reduction make this necessary. It would be impracticable for the two and one half billion dollars, in the third Liberty Loan to mature in 1928. All the sinking fund is being used to retire these bonds.

SCHOOL BOARD STATEMENT

The Seward School Board deems it wise and just that information should be given to the general public concerning the conduct of the school work other than that which unfitered through the minds of those who know little of the nature of the school work
 For the last few years the common council whose es has failed to up to it's obligations At the close of school year ago, June 1925, the school board mended that another story be built the present school buldng which would give the required facilities for good school work for period of years and until such time suitable new school building could be erected reliable builder looked the present school building and ported that another story could be added The common council rejected the recommendation and rented part of the Hartman bank building for high school purposes which the best the school board could obtain from the council.
 At the close of the last school year in June 1926 the school board again recommended addition to the pre- sent school building in the form of second story The common council appointed committee to look into the matter of further and better school facilities Apparently nothing done by the committee until very recent date when it too late to prepare any building for school purposes other than what we had last year.
 For years the school board and the Commissioner of Education have been urging the Town of Seward through it's council to increase the growth and prosperity of the town by furnishing adequate buildings for school purposes but nothing constructive has been done Petty faults have been found with the school board The school board is elected by the people and has entire charge of all school matters The legitimate school work of the council ends when it has provided proper school buildings, and furnishes promptly fourth of the running expenses of the school and pays for all repairs The constant encroac ing of the council upon the province and business for the minutes of the school board much of place it would be for the school board to be demanding the records Of the council on matters that strictly bus

EDITORIAL
The
 Seward Memorial Association

The Seward Chamber of Commerce has just announced the perfection of it's plans for the formation of the Sew ard Memorial Association, and during the next few days committee of the Chamber will call on the citizens of Seward for subscriptions to the neces- sary fund for the preliminary work of organization.
 The chief aim and object of the as sociaton is to erect, in the city of Seward, monument or other memor ia to the great statesman.
 1t is only fitting and proper that the people of Seward should be the frs, to respond to the call, just as it is only right that the memorial should be situated in Seward, the town hon ored with the name of the real father of American Alaska. A good many ot Stewards citizens will be called upor to give freely of their time to the pro feet, which is no small undertaking and it is their patriotic duty to do so and we feel certain that there will be no lack of response to the call.
 The following incident from the life of Seward should be an inspiration tc all who participate in the organization of the association, as it gives true insight into the character of that great man, and his DO IT-NoW spirit:
 The negotiations for the purchase of Alaska have been in progress for some time between the governments of United States and Russia, and fin ally on the night of March 29, 1867, Baron Edouard de StoeckI, Prvy Counsellor and Envoy Extraordinary and Minister PIenipotentiary to the United States of the Imperial Russian Government, received teIeeraphic au thority from his government to enter into the treaty for the cession of Alas ka. About midnight Baron Stoeckl de cded to go for a little walk, and passed Mir. Stewards residence. He noticed that there was light in Mir Stewards study, and, knowing Mir Stewards anxiety about the outcome ot the negotiations, he went up to the house and informed Mir. Seward of the receipt of authority to conclude the treaty, and suggested that it be done the following day. MT. Stewards re sponse was characteristic of him ane of the spirit of America, for he said "Why not do it now, Baron? l car send for my clerks and prepare tho treaty within few hours" The Rus sian minister agreeing to this it wa. so done, and at about four o'clock ir the morning of March 30, 1867, the treaty was concluded and was ready to submit to the two governments fol ratification.
 Such was the spirit of Seward, anc such should be the spirit of the citi zens of the city of Seward in thi: work DO TT NOW.

WOULD INCREASE REVENUES


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 25.-An
revenue for the Western railroads
would result if the carriers ap-
plication for five percent increase
in rates were granted.
This was the testimony today of
P. N. Van Doren, vice president and
general counsel of the Chicago
Northwestern railroad at the inter
state commerce commission rate
hearing here Van Doren presented
total and individual estimates of
revenue to be expected under the
proposed increase as a part of the
rebuttal testimony of railroads to
shippers who have opposed any
raising of the rates.
The basis used in making these
estimates, he said was in general
an average advance of 25 per cent
in the class rates east of the Miss
ouri river, including Missouri river
cities, and the territory to the east
OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul from Sioux City, to Sioux
Falls, S. D. West of that line, an
increase of about 10 per cent and on
through business from points east
OF the Missouri river, substantially
a five per cent increase The increase
to the Missouri Pacific on the com?
modities the estimates showed, would
be only IL per cent; the Santa Fe
2 1-2 per cent on less than carlot
shipments, per cent on automo-
biles and per cent on the other
commodities.
Van Doren said the western rail
roads need the additional revenue
and are entitled to it. He gave a
list of estimated increases that would
result from the granting of the rail-
reads application. Among them
were:
Chicago Northwestern $1,957,250;
Chicago Great Western $360,0S6.
Missouri Pacific $31S6S5; Rock Is
land $973,776. Santa Fe $772,86S;
