Schools Close
For Holidays

FL Ccntro's public schools, in COM
mon with all others throughout the
county, arc closing this afternoon
for the Christmas holidays. A spe-
cial assembly at the high school, and
Christmas exercises in all the c!c-
mentary schools marked the day s
sessions.
Both grammar and high schools of
this city will reopen on Tuesday,
January 3.
The observance of Monday, Janu-
arv >, as Il holiday is optional and
is being decided by the trustees of
the different school districts. Coun-
tv Superintendent II. G. Coc, in re-
ply to the question as whether or
not Monday is a holiday on which
schools must remain closed, has com
municated with the state supcrin-
tcndent of public instruction and
has received the following opinion:
a careful reading of Section 10
of the Political Code conVinces us
that it is not school holiday as
defined in the section. Therefore
such boards of trustees as desire to
hold school on January and count
this as one of the 10 required days
of school may do SO. All other
boards should make the day a local
holiday bv including il in the Christ

Gus explosives are suggested, and
these suggestions are being more
and more followed each year, when
the appalling accident statistics are
impressed upon the people.
These appeals for safety first

the use of explosive pieces by the

HOW LONG CAN IT LAST

Farmers and business men of the
United States are confronted with a
staggering burden of local taxation.
administered too frequently under
an unsound system which makes it
easy to get into debt and difficult to
control expenditures. Figures rec
emily prepared show that we are
spending for taxes annually a sum
equal to half our savings banks de-
posits. Taxes cost us an amount
greater than the value of all crops
raised on our 100000 farms using
$40, 100000 acres of land.
Our annual wheat crop, the larg-
est in the world, if turned over to
our, State Governments, would just
about meet their expenditures for
one year. While we are the largest
producers of foodstuffs and cotton in
the world, the value of both crops,
if turned over to the local subdlvis-
ions of the states, cities, towns,
counties and townships, would not
meet their revenue requirements for
last year.
We lead all nations in industrial
production, but the net income of all
manufacturing corporations in Our
Country is not equal to the combin-
ed expenditure of state and local
government. Neither would all the
money, in circulation in the United
States pay their bills for last year.

BALTIMORE CITY REPUBLICANS
PLAN TO CONTROL PARTY

The Baltimore Sun is authority
for the statement that Baltimore city
Republican leaders are training with
the City Hall group and have deter
mined that neither Ovington E. Wei
Ter nor John Philip Hill will receive
their support as the party's candi-
date for the United States Senate in
newt years election.
Disclosure of this attitude on the
part of the City Hall Republicans
and their allies sets at rest reports
that support will be given both to
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Weller. That both
men would like to be the party's
Senatorial candidate next year is
common knowledge in political cir
cles, but also it is generally realized
that the balance Of power in the Re-
publican party in the State rests in
Baltimore and primary fight with,
out the support of the City Hall or
ganization would be hazardous.
William P. Jackson, Republican
National Committeeman from Mary
land for a number of years, will be
reelected for another four years, it is
predicted, despite reports that Mr.,
Weller will seek his place.
Republicans pointed out that it
was possible that either Mr.. Hill or
Mr.. Weller or both might defy the
wishes of the city leaders and de-
clare themselves candidates for the
Senate. But if the Republican or
ganization in Baltimore adheres to
it's present determination and sup
ports another candidate victory
would be difficult it is recognized.
The decision on the part of the
Broening- Marchant wing Of the
party to eliminate both Mr.. Weller
and Mr.. Hill as candidates is regard
ed as move to assume control IF
the party in Maryland. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that at this time the
balance of power rests in Baltimore,
and whoever controls the city or
ganization also will be able to con-
troll the party throughout the State
