legislature. Our lawmakers have their
political sacred cows, too.
As between proposing a sales tax
and revising our archaic system of
school administration, for example, 1t
seems politically advisable to espouse
the sales tax. Educational leaders
know we cherish our fiscal sins a. q
people quite as much as we cultivate
our personal vices.
To put it frankly, they are afraid
to propose q system whereby the
number Of school boards will be re-
duced. They are afraid to suggest
that q county school board. to man
age the educational institutions in q
county as a unit. would improve the
efficiency and reduce the cost. They
are unwilling to attack q system Get
up in the horse and buggy days.
The reasons are obvious. Cities,
with higher tax valuations, might be
to share in the financial
burden Of supporting the rural
schools. Rural school districts which
receive railroad taxes would balk at
coming down to the level Of their
which get no such bene-
fits. Members Of rural school boards
would be loath to give up the per-
quisites Of their positions.
Economy Of school operation is not
yet an issue, since no one Is in posi-
lion to raise it except the educators,
and they choose not to do so. So
called taxpayers associations have
not approached the matter construc-
lively. Their attitude has been to
get the taxes down by whatever
method without offering suggestions
Tor more efficient spending Of the
money which Is raised.
There Is no denying that the stu
alton for many school districts is des-
perate. Yet the need is not yet suf-
Ficient to produce q demand for the
changes in our school system which
are needed.
The school child deserves and
must have q better break. But the

INHERITANCE OF WEAK

rect diet makes possible. (Mrs. ]. L
NJ
II both parents are nearsighted the
children are quite likely to be near
sighted. This Is mainly = question Of
physical resemblance. The form Of the
child's body is likely to bear a re-
semblance to the physical type Of one
or both parents. The general shape
Of the skull largely determines near
slghtedness or myopia. The near
sighted or myopic individual has q
long skull and q relatively long eye
ball. A difference Of q hairs breadth
in the length Of the eyeball makes q
great difference in the vision.
Almost daily inquiries come from or
concerning the question Of glasses for
young persons who are near-sighted.
There seems to be a persistent delu-
sion that putting glasses on q young
child "weakens" the eyesight.
The truth is that the proper glasses
conserve the child's vision, when there
Is = high degere Of myopia or near
sightedness. The lenses serve to save
strain on the focusing power. Proper
glasses keep such q child in more init
mate touch with the world around
him. They help him to learn. They
prevent the child from acquiring the
blank expression that q young person
Is likely to acquire when he or she fails
to see clearly the expression on the
faces Of those about him and 50 does
not reflect or respond to such impress
sions In his own expression. Proper
glasses prevent the near-sighted child
from getting the reputation Of q dumb
or dull child, in school and elsewhere.
Proper glasses enable the near-sighted
child to see what the play or games
Of his companions are all about and
to take part In such healthful activ-
tiles instead Of moping by himself or
herself, with shoulders hunched over

THIRD PARTY LOOMS
AS NATIONAL issue
Progressive Group Deemed In.
evitabIe to Avoid Reac-
tionary influences

Milwaukee, Oct. 22.-(P)-1t won't
be on the ballot. but Wisconsin voters
on Nov. 6 may have something to say
about a national third party.
The third party is an actually here
now, with the La Toilette brothers
broken away from the Republicans
and heading their own Progressive
ticket.
It is q purely state party at present,
but numerous liberal leaders among
the Republicans and Democrats are
taking a great interest In 1t as elec-
ton day approaches. Some are CAM
paigning actively for It.
The La Follettes insist both old
parties are influenced BY reaction
aries, while theirs stands opposed to
special privilege. Their opponents
charge them with fostering Commun-
ism and attempting to perpetuate
themselves in office.
AS for their party growing into .
national organization, Senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette, who asks reelection,
has no prediction to make.
Liberals campaigning for the Pro-
gressives commented as follows:
Senator Frazier (Rep., N. d.: II
the Republican and Democratic par
ties continue to be dominated by re-
dictionaries for their own special
privilege interests, q third party in
America IS not only necessary, It is
inevitable"
Senator Wheeler (Dem., Mont.):
'"The American people are on the
march. The day Of special privilege
is doomed. II the Democratic
party does not assume the responsible
ity and carry on. or II the reaction
aries In the Democratic party thwart
the will Of their leader, q new party
will spring up which will respond to
the needs of the time"

Helping the Northwest
(Helena Independent)

It has long been the contention Of
The Independent that the best thing
about huge private fortunes is that
they serve to give the people. in many
instances. things which they win not
attain for themselves. The politicians
and reformers may rave all they
please about great aggregations Of
wealth, and they may moan about
large sums Of money in the hands Of
the few, but one wonders where we
would have been today in the social
scale, In education. in sanitation, hy-
giene and hospital facilities, had It
not been for such vast fortunes as
those controlled by the Rockefeller
family.
These private fortunes have set
pace for US. The universities and
schools they have built and endowed:
the hospitals they have provided, the
they have dedicated to
scientific and medical research, have
inspired cities and states to duplicate
such private institutions: have led still
other fortunes to strive to make better
use Of their vast resources.
One Of the best uses being made Of q
great fortune and the earnings Of an
enterprising newspaper, is the work
which Frederick Murphy, publisher OF
the Minneapolis Tribune, is doing for
the Northwest. Since he took charge
Of the paper number Of years ago,
Mr.. Murphy has expended hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars-perhaps q
million or more, in his work for the
American Northwest Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Montana-that great princi-
pality between the father Of waters
and the inland empire.
Just now Mr.. Murphy Is publishing.
ct his own expense, and that Of his
newspaper, q series Of advertisements
In the leading newspapers and maya
zines Of the East. People Of these
states either feel they cannot afford
such . campaign, or their resources
are divided between 80 many small
business organizations, that to pay for
such publicity as Mr.. Murphy IS buy
Ing, would simply be impossible. Here
Is an instance where the buying power
Of . great newspaper in the hands Of
. far-seeing and liberal publisher, is
being used to secure for the people
something which they viii not Or can
rot secure for themselves.
The New York Sun recently pub
lished on . full page one Of the at
tractive and intensely practical adver-
tisements inserted by Mr.. Murphy Of
The Tribune. This message which he
sends 70 the East. tells the story Of
the states to which he is devoted. In
It he tells those who are supposed ia
wish to know. that these Northwest
states are entering the most prosper
GUS winter We have had for three
years; that commodity prices are
soaring: government crop and live
stock adjustment plans will brina
over 500. 000, 900 to the farmers q

partment for gathering these figures
The estimated farm income for thu
four states is placed at $456. oo0. 900
more than IS per cent greater than II
