A WORLD sArE FOR DEMOCRACY

As a matter OF fact, however no conception Of peace
makes practical sense unless we recognize that many
peoples with differing political traditions and differing
~systenns Of government will long exist, II they are to
remain at peace. the crucial question Is not whether
they are democfaeies but whether they win behave
lawfully toward their n~eighboFs.
In this view, a world made safe for the American
democracy would also be q world raade safe for any
other lawful and law-abiding government. be it .

rnAT ss.osesoOO srATE SURPLUS

Much has been written in the state papers concern
ting an anticipated surplus IN our state treasury. as
Of January ]. 1872. OF four million dollars. and various
suggestions have been made Is 10 disposition Of same.
II Is a mighty easy matter 10 spend money, ordinarily
but As the Legislature and other state bodies al win
have a say IN me matter. It may not be 50 easy TO
make use Of tnai surplus.
Come have suggested that the state tax is7y be re-
duced next year. but this does not meet with general
favor. most Of Us being OF the opinion that we had bet
ter keep the tax where IL Is and not be In danger
Of having 70 reduce many necessary expenditures.
One thing that ought TO be taken care Of out Of
that surplus. is an increased appropriation for the
public schools Of the state. IN many counties schools
are open only seven or eight months. instead of tine
full nine months IN other counties, due 10 the lack Of
fund. Right there some Of that surplus could be used
advantageously. Add 70 this the fact that the annual
salaries paid teachers IN the Southern states are the
lowest In The nation" said 4 prominent educator be-
fore the annual convention Of teachers In Louisiana.
The salaries Of teachers IN Jackson county are bet
ter than IN most Of the counties OF the state. and
teachers are paid their salaries IN cash. but stu. the
average Is much lower than IN the majority Of states.
and the burdens OF the teachers are getting heavier
and heavier. especially IN this county and . fee other
c~ountIes, on account Of the great influx OF population
due 10 defense industries.
The educator above mentioned stated that the
remedy. for the South At large. was federal aid for the
public schools We are not yet prepared % endorse
that but We do say that some Of that four million
surplus could be appropriated for the support Of the
sefsOols We have. II Is a question for our legislator
% consider next January.
