BYRD PRAISES
COLLEGE R.O.T.C.

Military training of college stu
dents through the r. o.. T. C. units
was advocated both as a char
acter-building medium and as a
vital integer of national defense
yesterday in an address by DR..
H. C. Byrd, president Of Mary
land University before the Associa-
ton of Military Colleges and
Schools of the United States.
Educators are almost unanimous
in their approval of the system,
DR.. Byrd said, and many of them
advocate compulsory military
training in all schools and colleges.
MilitariStic tendencies are not
developed through military train
ing in colleges, the educator said,
as he remarked that "the peace
of the world will not be assured
by the United States laying down
its arms and making itself vul-
'nerable to attack by less idealiStic
nations"
Lieut.. Col. A. M. Hitch, of the
Kemper Military Academy, pre-
ceded DR.. Byrd on the speakers
platform and spoke on the duty
of father toward son. Contrary
to the current comment, Colonel
Hitch said, American youth today
is as fine as 1t ever was.

McAdOO Fighter
Saws Law Partner

LOS ANGELES, March II
U.N.s0-senator William Gibbs
McAdoo can use his fists when he
wants to. This was revealed here
today by Col. William H. Neblett,
former law partner of the Sena-
tor from California.
He described stormy scene be-
tween Senator McAdoo and John
B. Elliott, Democratic leader, in
1888 at Col. Neblett's home, in
which the two had to be sepa
rated.
Neblett's description Of the in
cident was given during the TAX
ing of his deposition, in connec
tion with his $1,000, 900 libel suit
against several Los Angeles Dem
ocratS.
Neblett declared the alteration
started when McAdoo insisted Ell,
liott owed him $4,000 in an oil
deal.
"Elliott denied owing the
money and the two men had to
be separated by force" Neblett
declared.

Of the shooting, called her legally
insane, the opinion of DR.. Good

defense.

It was particularly damaging
because Of the fact that even the

had backed down considerably
under the cross-examination Of

Earlier, DR.. Graeme Hammond

Straight ToIkine About The Railroads

The Association of American Railroads has issued
a compelling booklet entitled Straight Thinking About
the Railroads. 1t shows the seriousness of the rail-
road problem today, with carloadings running 30 per
cent below last year, and with railroad profit at the
vanishing point.
The booklet does more than paint a dismal picture
it makes a number of concrete suggestions toward
solving a problem in which every American worker
and industry has a tremendous stake. Some OF these
suggestions are:
/. Railroad revenues must be increased, especially
in periods of normal business, so that the industry may
store up "some fat as a cushion against famine"
2. The rule for establishing railroad rates should
be changed to the extent that the lines are guaranteed
rates that will bring a fair return upon investment.
8. OF equal importance is the necessity of reduc-
ing railroad expenses. Costs of operation within the
control Of the kdustry have been cut to the bone. The
next essential steps are a reasonable reduction in wages,
and a revision Of the present wasteful rules and working
conditions applicable to the train service crafts.
A. Prearranged, artificial, and ineastic plans
for forcing railroad consultations should be abandoned.
Consultations should be effected by agreement of all
concerned, rather than by legislative fiat, and with care
full consideration of the rights of workers and the well
fare of communities served by rail.
There are many other points, but these are four
of the most important. 1t is difficult to see how they
can be Justly opposed. Wage boosts, social security
taxes and higher material costs have added almost
$500, 000, 900 a year to railway operating expense. On
top of that, a request for a reasonable rate boost was
granted only in part, and the tremendous slump in
general business has been still another blow. Drastic
action is necessary if the railway industry is to keep
going-and is to continue to provide America with that
remarkably high and improving standard of service
we need and expect

Letter From Supt.
Of Education

The State Board of Education will
send out notices next Friday, July /,
to the county superintendent of edu-
cation and the superintendent OF sep
arate school districts as to the amount
of state funds their county or sepa-
rate school district will receive for
the 1938-39 school session This will
include both the per capita fund and
the equalizing fund.
The per capita fund for this year
is $3.50 per child for all children in
the county or separate school dis
trict between the ges Of six and
twenty one. The total number of
educables for the state on which dis
oursement will be made for the next
two years is S43, 239. This represents
an increase of 1897 over the census
used for the past two years.
The equalizing fund is sent to coun-
ties and separate school districts quail
and the standards set up by the State
Board of Education. At the present
time, only two equalizing counties
IN the State, Benton and Tishomingo,
co not levy a 10 mill countrywide
tax for school purposes. However,
in these counties, practically all dis
tricts qualify for full participation
n the equalizing FUND and less than
one-half of n per cent of all the
white children in the state will not
have access to an eight months school
term next year.
Budgets for all school districts and
counties should be filed with the
State Superintendent of Education on
or before July Is. We are insisting
that this be lone so that all budgets
can be approved before the first quar-
terly installment of the school funds
is sent out on August 16. Failure to
submit budgets in time for their APP
prevail before this date will result in
a delay in the disbursement Of funds
to the county or district.
We again wish to emphasize the
Importance of practicing sound bus
ness principles in setting up your
budgets and in financing the schools
OF eac county and district in the
tate.

This nation was founded upon the principle that it
was a government "of the people, for the people and
by the people"
But it has come to be a government "of the politi-
clans, for the politicians and by the politicians"
There are men high in the councils of state and
nation who have no goal other than to %perpetuate them
selves or others in office.
They are not thinking in terms of the welfare of
state or nation.
They see only their own selfish ends to be attain
ed.
They sit back in fat offices and actually use the
taxpayers money to perpetuate themselves in office
If you don't believe il, look about you and do a
little thinking.
Look toward Washington.
The majority of men in Congress are reaching
out with eager hands to dip into the public till in order
to send projects and other expenditures back home
to constituents.
They are spending this money back home in order
to gain favor with constituents and to gain votes.
The people are largely at fault.
As long as they clamor for projects" and like
things, just so long will Congress dish them out.
The people themselves are the ones to call a halt.
When they stop asking for handouts, loose spend
ing will cease.
The people themselves have bartered away their
~brthright for a mess of pottage.
The only way to regain it will be to tighten our
belts a notch or two and say MOI to the next "free"
spending that is offered us.
1t has got to stop somewhere and sometime.
