State Aids in Full.
If the administration or House tax
plan is not again killed in the special
session, by the Senate, state aids to
schools could be and would be paid
in full, as is provided in the bill.
State aids now cover, on the aver
age. nearly three dollars out of every
four spent to operate Pine county
schools. Pine is one of the leading
counties in the state in school aids
per capita. Free public school educa-
ton is now a recognized duty and
obligation of the state. 1t reaches al
most every child.
The 1888 net income tax law was
good step in the right direction. 1t
was based on the ability to pay and
the proceeds are distributed to public
schools. Pine county schools receive
over 35 times as much money from
this fund as is paid by Pine county
citizens into this fund.
The 1897 House tax plan not only
extends or expands this 1888 net in
come tax plan, but also provides for
the payment of state aids in full. A
still better plan would be federal
net income tax prorated back to the
state and the public schools.
The Senate killed this fair and ben
eficial House plan in the regular ses-
sion. 1t is now up for recOnsidera-
ton. Pine county would be one of
the most benefited by it. Even the
most wealthy with the largest net in
comes in the larger cities would not
oppose it if they were fair and un-
selfish. 1t is based on the ability TO
pay and goes for public school sup
port which in turn reduces local
leNleS Oh lOIutS, La Ills anu DuSlHCSc.
Very few in Pine county now oppose
it, Those few surely do not under
stand it. We should all be 100 per
cent for it. There is really no sound
argument against it. Encourage your
representative and senator to con-
tinue to stand pat" for it. What in
terests are really fighting it and why?
Here are a few reductions that
would be possible in our village school
taxes if state aids were paid in full
state aid deficiency" levies taken
from auditors records. Possible drop
in levies: Pine City, Is mills; Sand
stone, % mills; Hinckley, "a mills;
Willow River, II mills; Finlayson, 16
mills; Brook Park, AZ mills; Glover
ton, 81 mills; Bruno, 6 mills Twill be
90 mills next year if aids are not paid
in fully Askov, 10 mills; Markville, %
mills; and Kerrick, 5 mills.
Let Pine county be 100 per cent
back of a new and fair tax plan that
will also pay state school aids in full.
More state aids help to lower the
local property taxes"

100000 FIRE RAZES
% HOMES, R0UTS III
Entire Household Goods of 20
Families Destroyed as Blaze
Sweeps Block.

By the Associated Press.
JEANETTE, Pa, August 2.-Fire
destroyed block of % houses yester-
day and left Ill persons homeless
The blaze started late in the after
noon and spread along the entire block
80 rapidly that few of the residents
were able to salvage household furnish
!nes or clothing.
Three Jeannette firemen were over
come by smoke and were treated at
the scene by neighboring physicians.
Fire Chief Thomas Milburn of jean
nette, summoned aid from Greensburg,
Pa, and other nearby communities.
He estimated the loss at 100000.
Firemen were hampered in fighting the
flames by crowd of spectators and
Sunday motorists estimated by the
chief between 5000 and 10000.
The Union Aid Association, local
relief agency. took immediate steps to
shelter, clothe and feed the fire victims.
Virtually the entire household goods of
the 20 families were destroyed
The houses were built in 1889, by the
Western Land and Improvement Co.
when Jeanette was founded. They
were originally frame, but were later
rebuilt of brick
Chief Milburn said the fire started
in the old woodwork, and spread over
the rooftops. The houses occupied the
block on Sixth street from Chambers
to Cassat avenue.
The ruins were still smoldering in
mid morning.

MICHIGAN SESSION
NEARS SHOWDOWN
House Speaker, Six Men,
bers to Meet Today in Row
Over Adjournment.
~ the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich August "A
group Of Michigan's legislators is max
Ing a parliamentary gesture to prolong
4 session their colleagues deserted.
House Speaker George Schroeder ard
six House members planned to assem-
bic today and tomorrow to force
either resumption Of work or consti-
urday and yesterday
Gov Frank Murphy called the Leg
islature into special session Friday
noon and resubmitted his industrial
relations bill necessary, he said, for
labor peace.
The Legislature had passed the bill
In uch-amended form, but the Gov
ernor vetoed that version and sent
back the original for action.
After a brief stormy session the
Senate adjourned sine die Friday
night.
Two Senators engaged ia a fist fight
The House failed to concur in the
Speaker Schroeder called the Senate
that monkey cage across the hall"
He contends neither House can ad-
journ for three days without the con-
sent Of the other and that the Senate
action will be demonstrably unconsti-
tutional by tomorrow
The Sunday session developed be-
cause no one knew whether to count
Sunday in the three-day reckoning.
Although the House did not concur in
the Senate adjournment, Schroeder
was anxious to keep House quorum
on the job to avoid complete House
valkout which might be termed tanta-
mount to concurrence.
Some legislators present admitted
interest IN a SnoW-removal bill to
take effect 80 days after adjourn
ment. They were troubled by the
theory that if the present special ses-
sion is not legally adjourned it will
merge automatically with the next
regular session of the Legislature in
1889 and current Snow-removal funds
would not become available until the
Winter of 1910.
This school of thought argued that
Gov Murphy could not call another
special session, as he has threatened
to do soon, while this one remains in
continuous theoretical sitting.

 Weakness was indicated either way, they said.
 he official Soviet press indign- antly denies such reasoning. II insists the purge, which is sup posed to have weeded out 10000 officers of doubtful loyalty, has strengthened the army.
 Spies Feared
 Foreigners here are inclined to believe the army, whatever its fighting power now is thoroughly loyal, at least, to the Soviet re- gime and communism on which it is based.
 Much of the mystery about the Red army is due to the exception al secrecy with which it is cloak ed against foreign spies. With war from the Japanese or Ger mans constantly feared, it is be- lieved that 100000 men are kept on the eastern frontiers and 6OO,- 900 on the western borders of the Soviet Union. The remainder of the standing army is in home re- gions.
 To reinforce the huge standing army, reserve of 8,000,00O to 10,000,000 trained men, who have completed their military service, is maintained.
 Russia's defense budget this year was 25, ,l30,32O,O ,OOO rubles That is about five billion dollars at the arbitrary official exchange rate, or about $2,5OO,0OO,0OO at the estimated actual worth of the ruble. No other European coun- try carries such war budget.
 Transportation Problems
 The present naval strength is unknown to the outside world but since the new navy was de signed along purely defensive lines, it is believed to consist mostly of curisers and destroyers for the protection of such expos ed ports as Vladivostok, Lenin- grad and Odessa. Foreign esti- mates that Russia possesses 150 largest undersea fleet, are believ- ed to be an exaggeration.

Soviet Army Is
 Worlds Largest : Organization
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PreSS)
 MOSCOW, Dsc.(P)-In 20 years of preparing herself against at tack by capitalistic neighbors, So- viet Russia has built the worlds largest army.
 Its 1,6OO,000 men (including the army, navy, air force, border guards and secret police), it's esti- mated tank force of 4,5OO, its fly ing fleet of undisclosed thousands of planes are accepted by military experts as larger than any other today.
 What the Red army could do in war, however, remains to be test ed. It is one of the question marks of Europe.
 Soviet officials say the men are better physically than ever, that they show greater skill in man. euvers, that mechanization has greatly strengthened their might, that they know how to defend the frontiers of the socialist fath- erland against fascist aggressors. Foreign observers in Moscow are inclined to believe real strength lies in the masses of the Red ar my.
 Diplomats returnng tio Moscow from summer vacations report that abroad in Europe they found a prevalent feeling that the wave of executions in the current blood purge had weakened Russia as g world power. Some statesmen outside, they said, reasoned that
 1. Either there was treason in the Red army, as charged at the trial and execution of Marshal Mikhail ukhachevsky and sever other generals.
 2, Or there was no. treason and the charge that the generals were in the pay of Germany was g frame-up by jittery dictator to
