INCOME FROM
STATE SCHOOL
fund HIGHER
Per Capita at New Top; Money
from Farm Land Rentals
Principal Reason

An increase of $40 percent in in
come from rental of farm lands the
past four years is the principal rea-
son for the record apportionment tc
counties and school districts from
the state common school interest
and income fund, Miss Ella Ham,
mernesS, county superintendent of
schools, reported this week.
The amount to be distributed per
census child is 5000, making a total
of S33.241 allocated to Valley county
school districts on the basis of 1925
census children.
Last years per capita reached
what was then thought to be a new
high, S9.41. During the past ten
years the apportionment was usually
in a SIS or Sc category for each
child.
Irle Outlines Reasons
Miss HammerneSS pointed to a
report made by Superintendent R.
l.. Irle, chairman of the state lands
committee ,of the Montana Educa-
ton association.
The increase from state rental Of
agricultural lands for the last four
years was from S156, 700 to $685., 900,
giving the percentage Of $40, Mr.
Irle said. During the same period,
the increase in income from grazing
land was IL percent, from s2O1, 112 to
S221 .264.
The 1914 crops were good on state
lands. and the state uusally shares
in one-fourth or one-fifth of the

coupled with good prices for pro-
ducts and the fact that SO percent
of state lands are rented. The num-
Der of plots rented on a cash basis
has been reduced. This makes a
much better agreement for the
schools"

districts follows: ,

HOPE REALIZED

hBALlLED
For quite a few years, have had hope
that Toledo could have labor paper Now,
the TOLEDO UNION JOURNAL is fact and
has been named as the official newspaper of
the Go in Toledo
l don't think the JOURNAL is the best Ia
Dor paper in the world and l know there will
be improvements made in it as it goes along,
but do believe it is on its way to becoming
one Of Americas great labor papers and that
1t will eventually reach that goal.
AS one of the original planners of this news
paper have followed the JOURNAL very
carefully. have watched it, week after week.
and month after month as it went along I
can't say that / think there has been any
thing spectacular about it. It has just grown
up slowly like healthy infant should with
little pain here and there as it has grown
FUTURE OF LABOR
Watching the JOURNAL from its birth,
through its growing pains which it is still
having reminds me of the growth of the labor
movement. Certainly labor has had its growing
pains and we can all remember them Labor
has made its errors it has had its internal bat
ties, il has changed its leadership and some of
its ideas but it still keeps on growing, because
the ideas and principles behind organized la
Dor are sound.
don't know what the future Of the JOUR-
NAL will be, but 1 do think it will continue
present the CIO in Toledo and throughout
Northwestern Ohio If the paper becomes
what we hope it will, we will have strong
voice to express our side of the questions
which will arise in the future.
Labor needs a strong press which can bring
its side of all questions to the workers, the
employers and the public 1t must be means
of educating the workers so they will know
where their true interests lie, in fact the main
idea back of the labor press is to enlighten the
workers
I believe that the CIO in Toledo can have
such paper if they will give it their support
Labor must support its own press, because the
labor press will support labor.
WORK TO DO
The work which the labor press must do,
now and in the postwar period, is a work
which many of US cannot now appreciate AS
we go into the postwar with its new problems
and changing conditions the need for strong
labor papers will become clearer
Without strong labor press labor will be
handicapped. With it, it will be strengthened.
To the delegates of the Toledo Industrial
Union Council l want to express my congratu-
lations for picking the TOLEDO UNION
JOURNAL as their official newspaper I
pledge myself to work with them to make the
paper into publication in which they will
take pride, and hope it will continue to grow
To the staff of the JOURNAL extend my
thanks for their cooperation, past and pre-
sent and call upon them to give their new as
signment their best and most sincere efforts
Together, all 60 forward to the goal
which we have set for ourselves = greater
security for all the workers through organi-
ton.

New Responsibility

Today, the TOLEDO UNION JOUR-
NAL proudly takes its place as the Off
cial publication of the Toledo Industrial
Union Council representing $4,000 CIO
members in the Toledo area.
In assuming its enlarged duties, this
paper is deeply aware of its increased re-
sponsibility, not only to CIO, but to the
public. 1t accepts that responsibility and
will attempt to meet it all all times and
under all circumstances.
From its beginning, slightly more than
two years ago, down to the present time,
the JOURNAL has sought and we believe
succeeded in reflecting the policies of the
Congress of Industrial Organizations 1t
will continue in the future, as it has in the
past, to guide its editorial policies in tune
with those of the parent organization.
During its first two years of publica-
ton, the JOURNAL has been found well
to the front in aiding all affiliated CIO
unions which have needed or sought its
assistance. 1t has never hesitated to lend
its support, through its news columns and
editorials, to CIO unions which have at
tempted to advance the cause of the work
ers. 1t has defended and fought for those
who have been unjustly attacked.
AS it enters upon its new duties and
enlarged responsibilities, this newspaper
pledges anew its wholehearted support
and cooperation to all CIO affiliates. 1t
is their publication to command.
In presenting itself in this, its first is
sue as TIUC publication, the TOLEDO
UNION JOURNAL brings to its readers,
the CIO workers of Toledo a positive
program which has been approved by the
CIO leadership of this city. 1t gives
slogan for the present and the future, a
goal to work for, a success to achieve.
The slogan of CIO in Toledo, the plat
form which will be the principal goal of
this newspaper and CIO in Toledo for
the future is one to which we can all give
our support and aid. We present the plat
form and slogan of this paper and of the
CIO leaders of Toledo:
ORGANIZE TOLEDO-100%o.

Germanys unexpected winter often
sive which caught the American army off
balance, is another illustration of the
disasterous consequences which can come
as a result of Overestimating our own
strength and Understanding that of our
enemies.
Just few short weeks ago, the peO-
pie of this country, encouraged by the
optimistic statements and predictions of
our military leaders, believed that the
war was rapidly nearing its triumphant
conclusion.
Criticism of the planning of govern
ment brass hats, some of it from the labor
unions of the country as result of severe
production cutbacks, was subdued and
not too open.
Labor unions talked about reconver-
sion plans on the grounds that those un-
employed as result of cutbacks should
be given work.
Today, we observe the brass hats sour
rying about in frantic effort to undo
their own muddle-headed planning. Once
more the country is being whipped into
a new frenzy of production. New con-
tracts for the production of vitality needed
materials and equipment are being passed
out hurriedly to industries which had al
most completely ceased production.
Were it merely simple little error of
insufficient production which did not in
volve the lives of Americans, we could
pass up this opportunity. However, thou
sands of American troops on European
soil are endangered because of the lack
of proper planning on the part of those
whose job it is to know what to deliver
and in what quantity.
All during the war labor has been at
tackled and criticized by those who have
grasped upon every work stoppage, no
matter how small, and have poured their
abuse upon loyal and patriotic American
workers for allegedly sacrificing the lives
of American soldiers on the battle fronts
of the world.
But what about the governmental
planners who have, by their lack of abil
ity to plan, been responsible for the sue
cess of the German attack upon American
armies in Europe?
Labor is willing now, as it has always
been willing to produce the materials of
war. 1t is willing to forget, at least for
the time being, the faulty planning of
those who are supposed to know how to
plan, and give its best efforts, not to saw
ing the skins of brass hats and govern
ment big shots, but to saving the lives of
American boys and bringing them to vic
tory.
Overconfidence has received its re-
ward. Now is the time for quiet conf
dence and an effort to overcome the dam
age that has been done.
