BETTER SCHOOL SlTIOItT
An accomplishment' of fornmr
Covernor Charles II Brough of Ar-
kansas spoken of by County Super-
intendent Clay W Kerr Tuesday
night which Oklahoma might well
emulate was that of puttiug the
slate schools on a millage basis for
financial support
A proposition of this soil has been
under discussion in Oklahoma be-
fore but has never taken concrete
form
The main advantage of such a
plan is that it would provide proper
support for the state schools with-
out the necessity of biennial appro-
priations by the legislature and
would take the schools out of politics
Anyone who has witnessed the log
tolling the trading and trafficking in
votes that becomes necessary for state
schools to get the right sort of sup-
port from the legislature would at
once realize that this is a bad state
hi affairs and not conducive to the
best interests of the schools
Under a millage plan there would
be regularly assessed each year a
certain tax for the support of the
state schools apportioned by law
Thus the schools would know what
their support would be and could
plan accordingly while the legisla-
ture could turn its attention to other
matters
This plan Is successfully in vogue
in other states
THE ITTY OF IT
"We are convoked here to relieve
the misery of the world" said Pre-
mier Facta of Italy in opening the
international economic conference at
Genoa Italy
Lloyd George British premier in
his address deplored the absence of
the United States from the confer-
ence It is hard to believe that the fail-
ure of the United States government
to take part In the meeting Is expres-
sive of the will of the American peo-
ple For never was there a people
which gave more freely to relieve hu-
man suffering than do the Ameri-
cans Thus far however all our contri-
bution to relieving the misery of the
world caused by the great war has
been in the form of direct charitv
What the world needs most is no!
charity but a chance to make a liv-
ing Ours is Hie souphouse method —
the plan of the breadline instead of
the plan of putting idle men o
work
The attitude of the United States
government In refusing to have a
hand in the conimeicial rehabilita-
tion of Europe is a pitiable thing lo
contemplate — the very Incarnation
of selfishness
And not only is Europe remaining
prostrate largely because o£ our na-
tionally selfish foreign policy but
our own people pay the penalty also
because the lack of European mar-
kets results in closed Ameiican factories-
How long will the generous heart-
ed American people continue to
stand for such a disastrously selfiPh
foreign policy on part of their gov
eminent T i
The Leader’s advice to bootleggers
is the same as that Bunch gave lo
young men about to he married —
’’Don’t”
Russia's refusal to treat with
Japan’ delegates at Genoa because'
Japan is unlawfully occupying pat t j
