Cutting The School Bill

States and communities suffering from
small, badly equipped, and poorly stated ru-
raj schools might well take cue from Mich
igan.
DR.. Eugene B. Elliott, superintendent of
public instruction there, is seriously consid-
ering a plan to reduce the number of Mich
igan rural schools from 6,70O to 700 or 800.
He charges that the present system is ex-
travagant and disgrace to education.
Michigan, along with other states, he
points out, pays it's teachers as low as $50
a month in the poorer rural districts, and
often they are forced to collect part of this
pittance by boarding around with the
farmers, as backwoods schoolmasters did in
pioneer days.
The new plan would unite seven or
eight of these districts and construct a
central school to which children living at a
distance might be transported. Competent
teachers then could be employed at reason
able salaries, and modern equipment install
ed at total expense not greater than pre-
sent costs.
If the proposal is adopted and works in
Michigan, it is new deal for rural children
that no state can afford to pass up.-Gu-
thrie, Oklahoma, Leader.

InfOrced Safety

motorists, pedestrians and children by fire.
quent warnings and arrests, with fines vary
ing in accordance with the seriousness of the
breach of driving ethics.
Most citizens will applaud vigorously
their motive and methods. Preaching high
way safety with statistics, cartoons, driving
lessons, editorials, poster and innumerable
other reminders, the public safety commits
sion of the state has been able with the CO.
operation of local committees, newspapers
and police officers to reduce the accident toll
considerably. But it is still an appalling fig
ure. A great many drivers can be reached
in no other manner than by arrests.
A recent analysis of accidents made by
the commission reveals some interesting
things.
Curves are dangerous but 1928 per cent
of the drivers involved in fatal accidents last
year were going straight ahead when the
accident occurred.
Of 693 cars so involved, 564 were repor-
ted to have no defects, before the accident.
About 13 per cent of the drivers so in
volved "had been drinking" while 18 per
cent of the pedestrians killed were so de-
Scribed.
Sixty per cent of the fatal accidents oc-
Cured at night while driving home from
work proved four times as dangerous as
driving to work.
Comparing 1884 accident figures with
those of 1885, greatest reductions were
made in small cities where civic groups had
strived to make the streets safe. Smallest
reductions came in rural communities where
the campaign is not yet effective.

Fight Goes On

IN n. BAILEY OF virginia, secretary OF
TX the Minnesota department of conser-
vation, appears to be the friend in
need indignant citizens of Minnesota have
been looking for in the current controversy
over charging fees at leading state parks,
ordered to begin May II.
In letter to the Lions club here, Mr..
Bailey says:
l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your
resolution regarding the action of our
commission, charging fee of 25 cents
to the citizens of our state to visit their
own state parks and in reply will state
that did not attend the March meeting
of our commission at which time this
action was taken. / am fully in accord
with your resolution and intended to Of
fer resolution at our April meeting re-
scinding the action, but we had so much
business to attend to during our short
session that did not get around to it.
You may depend upon me to offer res
olution resembling the action at our May
meeting.
How many other members of the COM
mission who has sided with the public has
sion has not been determined. All of them
have felt tremendous pressure as civic and
political groups and dozens of other organi-
zatiOns, spurred on by indignant newspa-
pers, have condemned the action as unwar-
ranted and undemocratic and certain to kill
Me states great park system.
The attitude of the public has been
made known and will continue to be. Sever
al towns where parks are located and neigh
Dor communities will send delegations to the
May meeting. 1t is likely that Redwood
Falls will be represented.
Minnesota has % state parks scattered
through the state. At ten of the %, includ-
ing Alexander Ramsey here, fees are to be
charged Saturdays, Sundays and holidays
during the late spring, summer and early
fall. The other 18 parks naturally will bene-
fit greatly from an attendance standpoint,
which in time is likely to lead to the adding
of the sales tax fee at these places also.
Not gate fee which would require only
one collector at each gate, the plan is to
charge for parking. This will necessitate
employing big force of men at park such
as Ramsey, with miles of highway and innu-
merable places where cars can get off the
road, if attendance even approaches that of
recent years and any great percentage of
the visitors are to be taxed.
The name of one member of the COM
mission which has sided with the public has
been given. Residents of the territory who
wish to help in the effort to have the order
rescinded should write letter or post card
at once to one or all of the other commission
ers, namely: John R. Foley, Wabasha, chair
man; G. w. Friedrich, st. Cloud, vice chair
man; R. j. Ahlstrom, Minneapolis; DR.. B
F. Ederer, Morris.

One By One
)NE BY ONE, relentlessly, the fedora

~NE BY ONE, relentlessly, the federal
J department of justice has tracked
down and exterminated, or convicted
and imprisoned, more than a score of men
who thought they could rob, murder and
kidnap for profit and live to enjoy their gain.
Organized mobs, which planned crimes
well and made safe getaways, often with the
help that ready cash could buy from un-
scrupulous officials, failed to realize that
once case is taken over by the bureau, it is
not forgotten until settled. How they must
have suffered as they were hunted day an,
night, driven from one hideout to another,
always fearing treachery of friends or a slip
somewhere that would place a Oman at
their door.
Soon they will be forgotten but it is
well to impress their fate on the minds of
wayward youths who run afoul of the law on
minor counts. A life of crime has always
been wasted life. This is more true today
than ever before.
Farmer Ross Walser was just in again
to advertise for married man to work on
!, the farm, separate house. He ran the ad a
man in Nebraska who said he couldn't come
for another month. Mr.. Walser has tried
to hire men on PWA. "No," they say, 1--WE
got better and easier job at what we're
doing" Mr. Walser is but one of thousands
of farmers who are finding it hard to employ
help since the unemployed have been sold
on the notion that 'the government has to
take care of us anyway" y."-Fairmont Sent
incl.
Soil conservation isn't new Better farm
ers have for years known the value of main
tanning and restoring the fertility of their
fields And they were getting return on
their investment long before the government
decided on the bonus plan.
Opponents of the new tax plan tell us
first: it won't raise anywhere near the money
expected. Second: it will ruin the big cor
porations. How will it ruin anybody if it
don't cost them much?
