TAXES AND EDUCATION

One Of the most important educational steps
in years is being considered in the state of
California, where county unit system school
law has bten proposed and supported by many
authorities.
The proposition which was designed by the
Taxpayers Association, is briefly, a plan by
which all schools districts having less than 1900
pupils in average daily attendance shall be con
solidated into one district. At the present time
great number of school districts have an at
tendance of only six to fifteen students daily
Not only will this plan, if it goes into effect,
save the state and the taxpayers vast sums of
money, but, as well it would seem that it
would improve educational fac ljties Under pres
ent conditions it is obviously impractical to,
equip the small schools with such books and
supplies as are enjoyed by the larger institu-
tions. The county unit system would give every
school the best of teaching Equipment.
This plan is of Importance not only to Cali.

POOLING THE RATS
By Frank Monroe Beverly

By Frank Monroe Beverly
A big yellow cat lay on the rug
Lay on the hearhstone clear,
Adven turous rats play'd closely by
Without a trace of fear.
The yellow feline pretended to sleep,
Keeping as still as death,
The young rats danced jubilee,
And said, "He's out of breath"
The old rat who was wisdomfied,
Said, you're on dangerous ground,
For if the yellow cats asleep,
His maps not very sound"
"Ah, fiddlesticks," said a young RAY,
He's dead as a door nail,
Only he has no relatives
To mourn, to weep, to wall.
eff he's asleep, or if he's dead"
Then whispered Ratty Joe,
ssLet's see who's bravest among us all,
Who will the closest 60"
Up danced young rat, Mo-Rell Evar,
A foot from where he lay,
The yellow cat woke from his state
RAT had no time to pray.

STAND BEHIND POLICE FORCE

The New York Graphic, in it's issue of De-
cember II, commends the city's police commits
sioner for his determined stand to make the
crooks and the criminals fear the power of the
law. The Graphic said when armed gunner
are dealt with in soft way it makes life hard
for the honest citizen.
"The fight to suppress murder, robbery and
other felonies is one that must be led by
fearless police department.
Constant, resistless pressure must be ex-
erted to bring victory.
Civilians must back up the work of the po-
lice force with all the power at their command
The graphic advocates abolition or modifica-
ton of drastic anti-gun laws they will apply
primarily to law-berakers and not restrict the
law-abiding citizen to his own detriment and to
the benefit of the thug and the highwayman
Backing up its position, it says that such a
policy would provide strong auxiliary fight
ing force at once to support the main fighting
force known as the police department.
There is merit in the Graphic's position.
Crime will not be curbed by continually legi-
Stating against the man who doesn't commit
the crimes. Preventing him from owning a gun
does not dsarm the criminal
