Public education is only one
Of several vital public services
which are being starved today
to support an obsolete system of
county and local government in
nearly all the States of the
Union.
With 10 per cent Of the tax
payers dollar going to support
State and county and local gov
ernment, it is not surprising that
the money to maintain the pub
lie school system, to support
modern fire and police forces,
to protect the public health and
to perform other necessary func-
tions of government is running
short.
Waste, duplication and cor
ruption within the several States
have saddled upon their citizens
the support of 100000 separate
governing units and taxing
authorities. This means paying
the salaries and expenses OF
100000 elective officials.
In the State of Michigan
alone, according to a member
of it's congressional delegation,
Mr.. Mcleod, there are nearly
45,0O0 State and local officials,
without counting the city and
village administrations; there
are in that State $3.50 local gov
ernments, with 43,928 elective
officers. This "army of occupa-
ton spends approximately $780,
100000 year.
TYPICAL INSTANCES
In Georgia the people are
taxed to support 159 county
governments while the State
admits owing the public school
systems more than $2,500,O
These two States are typical
of many other States, suffer
ing from an excessive number
of county and local govern.

unnecessary public officials
whose support is charged up to
the people.
One in every four cities Of
the United States was com.
PEELED to shorten the school
terms last year on account of
lack of funds. Many rural
schools were enabled to remain
open for only part Of the
normal school year.
In fact the school term in
the United States Jagged far
behind that in most of the
progressive countries of west
ern Europe.
In this country the average
term per year for city schools
has been 1874 days and for
rural schools 162 days. The
average term in France is 200

The Human Side of the News
BH EdWin C.. Hill

The slim, medium-siZed man
with the round shoulders, white
hair, iron-gray beard, pleasant
blue eyes and ruddy complexion
will be a king twenty-five years in
May. The following month he
will reach his Biblical three
score and ten. So, come what
may, England will make a big
time of it.
John Bull loves his pageantry,
gold coaches, caparisoned charg-
ers and he would trot them out
and sing God Save the King"
even if the monarch of the day
was Richard III or George III.
But there will be a whole
heartedness and a warmth to
the celebration this spring.
Britannia loves her George V.
No man or woman has sat on
the throne of England, from
William the Conqueror down,
and claimed more esteem and
affection from his subjects than
this same George Frederick
Ernest Albert Windsor, son of
Edward VII and grandson Of
Victoria.
ORDINARY FOLK
Destiny made him a king. He
was born on June 3, 1865, the
second son of Edward and Alex
andra. His father then was
Prince of Wales and remained
so for the thirty-odd years that
followed of Victoria's long reign.
Next to the father in line for
the throne was an elder brother,
the Duke of Clarence.
AS boys-George was II
the two were sent around the
world on a cruise, and George
from that day was marked for
the sea and comparative OBJ
livion.
The Duke of Clarence died
in early manhood, whereupon
the matchmaking Victoria
chose for George the Princess
Mary of Teck. And, as the
story books say, they were mar
ried and set about living hap
PLY afterward and living SIM
ply. King Edward died in
1906, and England turned to
inspect the King of Sailors
who was to take the place of
the King of Good Fellows.
They found George and Mary
to be pretty ordinary folk who
had devoted their 13 years
mostly to raising a family, for
between 1894 and 1905 six chill
dren, five boys and a girl, had
been born to them.
The coronation fuss over,
they retired to Buckingham,
and for eight more years kept
in the background, the nominal
rulers of an empire.
The war smoked them out
to reveal George as an upstand-
ing, wise and prudent ruler and
Mary as a motherly woman,
entirely devoted to her people
and their cause.
Today, as A. G. Gardiner so
aptly says, "you may draw a
line from Calais to VladiVostok,
through the former realms Of
the great emperors, without
touching a foot of soil presided
over by a monarchy" Those
who would point to italy are

Savoy is overshadowed by Mus
solini as dictator.
The stability Of the British
monarchy may be due in large
part to the limitations of power,
but the character and saneneSs
of George v has played no small
part in maintaining that sta
bility.
He remains to this day a
rather shy man, who, when oc-
casion demands, can use the
strong language of the sea or in
polished phrases and resonant
voice address his 463, 100000 sub
jects over the radio.
He takes his three or four
whisky and sodas a day, smokes
cigarettes in public and a pipe
in private. He is fond Of ami
mails, collects postage stamps as
a hobby and is yet one of the
best wing shots in the world.
One chapter in their lives shows
the mettle of George and Mary
of England.
For five years after their coro-
nation the story that was spread
around the world was to the et-
feet that in the year 1890 the
king had been married on the
Island of Malta to the daughter
of Sir Michael Culme-Seymour,
an admiral of the British navy.
No one dared publish the story
in England, but in 1910 it ap-
peared in a Paris leaflet, one Of
the editors of which was an
Englishman, Edward Mylius.
FORETHOUGHT
Immediately, and to the
wor derment of the world, the
King brought action for libel,
anG Mylius went to trial before
a jury under Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone, with the Attorney
General Sir Rufus 1saacs, later
Earl of Reading, as the prose
cutcr.
It is usual for ruling houses to
expect such gossip and it is
customary that they ignore it.
but the forthrightness in this
Kings makeup prompted him
to direct action.
Under the law he could not
testify in his own behalf. How"
ever, Culme-Seymour testified
that neither he nor any men,
ber of his family was in Malta
in 1890, that his appointment
to the Mediterranean fleet did
not come until 1898, three years
after the date of the supposed
marriage of his daughter to
the prince. His elder daughter
had married a British naval Of
ficer named Napier and his
other daughter was 10 years old
in 1890.
MyliuS was convicted and SEN
tenceQ to a year in prison. I'M
mediately after the verdict, Sir
Rufus Isaacs read letter from
the King stating that the King
had never married anyone save
the present Queen, and had
never gone through any form
of wedding ceremony with any
person except the Queen. Such
is George Of England, rs years
a King.

The Dizzy Season

1kC O1AAy ONA0OA
This is the dizzy season, when
every young man thinks that
he, alone, has discovered that
ermanen n t -wave-of emotion,
called "love."
A man can always tell when
he's really in love with woman
but the girl sometimes has to
use a lot of strategy and tact IN
order to MAKE him tell.
There isn't any law in the
land which prevents a woman
from doing the pursuing, the
inviting and even the proposing.
But, alas, there isn't any law
in NATURE that prevents a
man from resenting it.
A wedding. says Reno Ruth,
is funeral, at which a man
buries his freedom and a woman
buries her individuality, with
beautiful rites, flowers and
music.
Like the usual husband, an
ordinary looking glass has no
heart when it comes to telling
a woman the brutal truth.
That's why the beauty-parloR

The procedure Of making

however, is unusually strict.
Debate is not permitted and
the member sponsoring an
amendment has no opportunity

Senator Joseph T. Robinson,

to the device, however.
. One attempt provoked the
threat by Senator Elmer
Thomas (D.) of Oklahoma that
If the action tUGS carried out

Naturally, Thomas did not
want the procedure followed.
But his threat showed the
dread that members have for

The Power of Faith
l John 5:4: This is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith.
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

I John 5:4: This is the victory that over
cometh the world even our faith.
When the disciples asked, Lord,
why cannot we perform your marvel
Gus works?" the Master answered,
Because of your unbelief, because
your mind is paralyzed by doubt, be-
cause your soul is poisoned by fear.
Verify, if We had but tiny grain of
genuine faith, mountainous obstacles
would yield to your attack, the abyss
of despair would be bridged by your
confidence, the gates of opportunity
would open to your touch, and nothing
worthwhile would be impossible to
you"
We have seen the power of faith to
remove mountains of granite and link
the oceans together and knit the ma
tons in closer ties of commerce. Not
only the mountains of granite, but the
mountains of prejudice that obstruct
the interchange of friendship between
man and man and race and race; the
mountains of complacent ignorance
that hinder our onward progress to-
ward the reckoning vistas of truth;
the mountains of doubt and timidity
that stand across our path to achieve
ment and fitness of personality; the
mountains of guilt and sin, dark bar
riers between the human soul and It's
divine Creator; and the mountains OF
death, casting its grim shadow across
our way through time to eternity
faith, and faith alone, can sweep them
all aside.
