for increased appropriations, we
feel that We should state that it
will be necessary for the strictest
economy to be observed to run
the schools eight months in all
the counties that qualify accord
ing to the present standards of
the State Board of Education.
Remember there must be no def
cts this year. Last year there
were large deficits in counties
and districts. Most of the coun-
ties will qualify for an eight
months term this year. We
every county in the state Will
qualify for next session.
1t might be well to note that
the state now has reached the
high level of appropriations of
1929-30. Yet, the amount OF
school revenue for this year will
still be more than So, 900 be-
low that level. This difference
is due to shrinkage in assessed
valuation Of property and re-
duced tax collections in counties
and districts of the state. We
hope that assessed valuations

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
SUIT. OF EDUCATION

We wish to thank Governor
White. the School Survey Com
mittee, and the Legislature for
the school legislation and appro-
priation just enacted. We are
delighted that the Committee has
been continued to make further
constructive study of our schools.
We believe that much good will
result from special study of the
reorganization of many of tht
schools of the state.
While we are deeply grateful
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1936-12-10

will gradually come back to the
level Of 1929.
Further help to any great eN-
tent from the general fund OF the
State Treasury cannot be safely
anticipated without new taxes or
an increase in assessed valuation
of property.
We also wish to express apprc-
citation for the fine team work
Of the county superintendent of
education, the separate school
district superintendent, and the
consolidated school sllpcriutents
to the many and various prob
lens of complying with the de-
tails of the Kyle-Cook Bill, and
supplying the data requested by
the Survey Committee. The re-
Spouse of the school men has been
fine.
To the many teachers of the
state who are faithfully perform
ing your every duty, we wish to
say that while no increase in
monthly salaries could be pre-
vided from state and county
funds. yet eight months school
term has been made possible in
all schools that meet the Standard
requirements fixed by law for the
full term, which will mean an in
crease IN annual salaries to many
teachers. Provision was made by
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1936-12-10

which school districts aic per-
mitted to supplement your salsf-
les from available district funds.
Furthermore, your salaries should
be paid promptly at the end OF
every month, thereby preventing
the great rduction of the past few
years in salaries due to warrants
having to be discounted.
We confidently look to the fu-
ture with great hope for the sue
cess of the public school system
of Mississippi.

Bowl Game
Best Tilt Jan. |
BY VIM. MEG. Kcefe

JOY Rode the South wind when
the announcement was made from
Pasadena that the Rose Boz
Committee, prompted by Wash
'lngton University, had invited til
Pittsburgh Panthers to play the
Huskies in the New Years game
out there. Even those who had
been torn between a desire to see
justice done to Louisiana's "Ba-
you Tiger" and the naturally
selfish desire to keep the best IN
football for our city and u state
joined in the rejoicing and now
congratulations are going tn G
lrounds on all hands.
Congratulations - and an open
declaration of war between the
two bowls. Because no one ever
will be able to tell the Deep
South bowlers that the Pacific
Coast orchid bowers did MOI de-
|liberately delay the selection Of
their visiting team so as to cause
discomfort and mental anguish to
the New Orleans project.
The business in hand, in Surar
Bowl quarters, is to make tbs
coming game the greatest football
contest of the age and then, the
next day, to formulate plans thar
will insure against any rams
bowl, be it east, north Or ~e
putting salt in the sugar ~ d:,
atory tactics.
The Sugar Bowl is going to ex
pect the support of the solid
southland as much of other parts
of the country as wishes to enlist
to change the theme songs of
outstanding university teams dur
ing their last few games from
California Here I Come" to
Way Down Yonder In New Or
eansl' or maybe, in the case of
teams far away, to plain old ev-
cry day "Dixie," a good song any
day, anywhere. Yes, sir, "Cali-
fornia Here I Come" will be as
popular in Dixie as my King
dom For A Kiss" is in England.
One does not need delve on the
undeniable fact that the Sugar
Bowl game of Jan. l, 1887, is the
first real national football cham
pionship battle held anywhere in
a long, long time. Californians
have been smoked out into the
confession that their Rose Bowl
game is not intended to be a
championship affair. They say
they ser the right to invite
whom they please-and they want
what they want. They've got it.
And New Orleans has Santa
VS.. the Louisiana Tigers for
New Years. Up and down the
length and breadth of the land
comparisons are being made by
football writer's, football coaches
and football experts. And by the
public. Comparisons between the
Rose and the Sugar Bowl. No
need to go into such comparisons.
Skip them by simply saying the
Sugar Bowl suffers none.
Even though Santa Clara were
beaten by T, c. U. next Saturday,
the Sugar Bowl game still would
have the championship team of
the Pacific Coast playing the
team recognized as the national
football champion by many and
as the outstanding team in Dixie
by all.
Orleanians and bowl visitors
are going to see a football game
worth coming a long way to see.

Alaska and New Gold Standard Movement
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Fairbanks News-Miner)
 Associated Press dispatches report America. Bri- tain and France have formed compact for the es- tabshment of "a new type of gold standard pro- Ivding for the free exchange of gold between them for stabilization of their funds. Gold transactions between individuals will not be permitted. The chief effect says Henry Morganthau, secretary of the treasury will be to take the power of trade in gold out of the hands of irresponsible speculators' and put it into the hands of the government.
 Alaskans in common with gold miners elsewhere in America, concerned in this matter, which has vital bearing their continued prosperity chiefly to the end they desire steady and dependable market at price that will be an incentive to continue to apply all their energies in the industry.
 If the new movement will result in holding the price of gold at it's present level or increasing it, all will be we'll To permit the price to lapse back to the old figure of $2067 to drop below the present level would upset all plans of the great number who have been encouraged the last two years to venture into gold mining enterprises
 Under the stimulus of the new prices, Alaska has seen her placer paystreaks doubled in width and many of her dormant lode properties opened Pros pectors and organizers have been getting into the large propositions, and the forward march is like a great drive along the western front in the World War
 The glow of gold brghtens the horizon never before But reduce the price of gold, upset the ket and put it in the column of uncertainty and the great industry that is bringing such prosperity tC Alaska and America in general will be parayzed.
 America, Britain and France giants in the world of finance and if their gold compact brings to the miner permanent value his product Alaska may be expected to continue to progress as never before

STRIKE EFFECT ON ELECTION

Tomorrow is general election day in the States and also it will be the fifth day of the maritime strike What effect if any, the latter will have on the voting is the subject of wide discussion which may be determined only after the votes counted tomorrow night In the meantime it is the cause of many contentious and predictions.
 Some believe that the industrial paralysis caused by the big tie-up will have marked effect against the Administration the premise that the citizenry who vote in the States may be getting a little m- patient with labor trouble and may cast their votes against President Roosevelt grounds that his ad mnisraton has instituted legislation that is helpful to labor.
 On the other hand some Administration suppor ters argue the strike if it has any effect at all will tend to sodify labor throughout the nation and give the President larger popular vote than he might organized and otherwise, is very potent force in our national life and if the present trouble actually binds it together in the balloting it make very effective showing at the polls tomorrow.
 Doubtless there is basis for argument both sides argument is about all there left before the s votes cast But to impartial observer it would appear that the strike will have little or no actual effect the election The wakout is only five days old tomorrow. The genuine cramp general tie -up has not yet been felt to any apprecable degree. Ii there some voters in the States who will cast their ballot for Governor Landon because of the strike it is probable there just as many who will vote for President Roosevelt the friend of the man, on the basis.

CANDLE CREEK
 IS PRODUCING

The greatest year in its history, one which surpassed even the gold rush days, has been experienced in the Candle mining region during the past season, according to O. F. Weinard, old-timer of the region, who came to Anchorage from Nome, and was interviewed by the Anchor age Times recently.
 MT Weinard said an abundance of water from the first of the season has resulted in the best ciean-up since mining began with a gold rush to that area about 1901. The Can dle region is on the Seward Penin- sula north of Nome
 Mir. Weinard said hydraulic oper- ations closed down about October but that dredges were expected to run for approximately 20 days more.
 The Arctic Circle Exploration, Inc, is the largest outfit in the Candle area, employing about 75 men with one dredge, two hydrulic plants and dragline operations. This company is completing it's second season in the region, having taken over the interests of the Kiwalik
