TEACHERS HERE FROWN
ON PROPOSED CHANGE
OF SCHOOL MONEY LAW

On Monday, Oct. %, the teaching
staff of Laurel grade and high
schools met at the Laurel high
school to make plans for the en-
suing year. One of the subjects
given prominence at the meeting
was the faculty's position with re-
gard to section 5 of article XI of
the constitution of the state of
Montana. This section is up for
amendment at the general election
in November.
Superintendent Fred w. Graft
outlined the bill at the meeting,
pointing out the dangers likely to
follow if section 5 is amended. The
group went on record as opposing
its amendment.
The proposed amendment, in it's
new form, reads that annual appor-
tionments to school districts shall
be made "in such n and at
such time or times as may be pro-
vided by law :" If adopted, the
Legislature must pass a law setting
up the method of apportionment.

they will choose to set up" Super
intendent Graft said; at might

lent of the teachers association, re-

First War; Time Election In
MANY Years Comes Nov. 7
National Politics Have Attention
Or Voters As Campaign Nears End
Final Speeches Slated For Few Remaining Days
People To Also Elect Congressman, County
Officers-Initiative 48 Interests Many

The nation will go to the polls
next Tuesday, Nov. 7, for the first
wartime general election in many
years to choose national, state and
county officers. Since the two
major parties-Republican and DEM
ocratic-held conventions in Chicago
last summer and named presidential
candidates the air and press have
carried the arguments of political
contenders to every city and rural
resident. Now the people will make
their choice.
Running on the Democratic tick
ct, President Franklin d. Roosevelt
will deliver final speeches in the
coming days in support of his can
didacy for a fourth term, and in the
same period Governor Thomas E.
Dewey of New York, Republican
nominee, likewise will press his
campaign to a close. The two will
be heard with unusual interest by
members of both parties.
In his speech of acceptance, de-
livered last summer by radio to the
convention in Chicago,
President Roosevelt declared he did
expect to make a campaign in
"the usual Manner" but in the past
few weeks he has been heard de-

by calling Ray Stevens at the yell
lowstone bank"
The chairman said the success of
the drive resulted from the sub
stantial size of many of the contri-
buttons. "Due only to the gener-
Gus cooperation of the wage-earning
families, who have generally con-
tributed SIS, Sc and $40 amounts,
were we able to meet the goal in
such a satisfactory manner"
The money given in this drive
goes to the USO and all the recog-
nized relief agencies of the Allies.
One drive takes care of all and
greatly reduces the expenditure of
time and effort that otherwise
would be required for micro So
licitationS.

Marianas Islands Have
High Strategic Value

The MarianaS dadrones) Islands,
which include Saipan where Amer
ican troops have landed, were, be-
fore the war, richest and most popu-
lous of the widespreading Tokyo
ruled island empire of Micronesia,
says the National Geographic So
ciety.
The IA Marianas also occupy a
key position for western Pacific air
and naval strategy. Saipan, the cap
ital island, lies about $500 miles
south of Tokyo and $500 miles west
of Honolulu. Guam, largest and
southernmost of the group, was a
United States possession now occu-
pied by the Japanese.
Since the Marianas were trans
ferred from German ownership to
Japanese mandate after the First
World war, the steep and fertile land
spots have been a principal goal of
Japanese settlement. Sugar was the
chief reason for the Japanese influx.
Sugar cane thrives on Saipan, Ii
nian, and Rota Q0-18 miles long),
the three most important islands of
the archipelago.
Kingpin of the coral and volcanic
built Marianas was Saipan. 1t was
the administrative center and the
site of Japanese naval base.
The MarianaS stretch in a north
south direction for almost 400 miles
between 13 and 81 degrees north
latitude, and therefore are fully
within the tropics. Rainfall and hui
midity are high; Saipan, strangely,
enjoys climate little drier and
little cooler than its neighbors.
Magellan discovered the Marianas
in March, 1921, when he sighted
Rota and Guam and landed on
Guam. When natives attacked his
ship, he sailed away safely, but ex-
pressed his hard feelings at the re-
ception accorded him by naming the
islands Las lslas de Las Ladroncs
isles of Thicves). This name still
is used, although unotiicialiy.
The natives, principally Chamor-
ros, may have numbered almost
1000 when white men first found
the islands. Chamorro was the name
given to the original PolynCSlan in
habitants The modern Chamorro
is a miXturc Of native and Spanish
blood In 1851 there were only 4,13O,
while the japanese population num-
bcrcd 40 .6G&. Approximately 40 per
cent of the total population Of all the
Japanese inundated island groups of
Micronesia live in the Marianas.
The area of the Marianas (not
counting Gu;nn) is only about 10
times that of the District of Column
bia. Most of the land is government
owned

agricultural market for farm pro-
duction would indicate that in the
postwar period we could greatly ex-
pand our purchases of production
goods, that is, machinery, buildings
and breeding stock, for a period of
five years or longer. Our agricul

savings with which to make these
purchases. Can they hold their saw

Savings of Farmers
Will Help Sustain
Postwar Business
Professor Advocates
Postponing of Purchases
OF Land and Equipment

In the matter of postwar employ
ment, agriculture is different from
many other lines of industry, H. c.
Case, head of the department of
agricultural economics at the Uni
versity of Illinois, stated in an ad-
dress before the summer confer
ence of the Illinois county farm ad-
visors. Much of industry was con-
verted for the production of war
munitions and stopped normal
production. Agriculture, on the 9TH
er hand, did not greatly change its
type of production but intensified
production along the same lines.
The proportions of crops and live
stock produced we're changed, but
in general we have produced the
same kinds of products. This leads
directly to the question of postwar
employment. Many people expect
new jobs for returned servicemen
in agriculture.
There will not be many new jobs
in agriculture" Case said. "There
will be many replacements. Many
farmers, because of the shortage of
l1Dol, have SOllllluCd lillllS lOllS-
er than they intended. Some will
remain on the farm, but they will
want someone to take their place
when it comes to heavy farm work.
Many boys are becoming old enough
to take mans place on the farm
unless more of them continue in
school longer than in the past. Some
makeShift farm hands have been
found in the present labor emer-
gency who under normal conditions
would not be on farms. After they
are replaced by competent farm
workers there will not be many new
jobs available. Modern improve
ments have continued to make pos
sible an increased output per work.
er in agriculture, resulting in a SO
per cent increase in output per
worker over the past 30 years"
Few New Farm Jobs.
Although there is little opportu-
nifty for an increase in the number
of jobs in agricultural production,
accumulated saving of the people of
the country of almost 100 billion dol
lars by the end of 1914 will help
sustain production. provided these
savings are not dissipated by com
pcting with others for the purchase
of limited amount of goods, lead
ing only to imitation. "Only by pre-
venting serious initiation can we
swing into balanced production in
the postwar period" Case said. He
pointed out that financial reserves
of farmers, coupled with the needs
for goods, should help sustain high
production. 1t is significant that in
the period from 1887 to 1910 agri-
culture, with Approximately 10 per
cent of our national income, cX-
pended about IA per cent of the new
outlay for producers goods. This
is just one indication of the de-
pcndence upon agriculture to bring
prosperous conditions in the post
war period. During the period 1887
to 1870, it has been estimated that
farmers spent about a billion dol
lars a year for producers goods,
TINT is. buildings, machinery and
other production goods.
