were.
The Democrats, to be sore, make
out a oughty convincing case in sup
port es their charges of persistent Re
publican bungling of an already de
plorable state of affairs. But why do
the Republican* »o Infrequently point
out that, after all. it Is a state of af
fairs which a Democratic adminis
tration left on their hands?
1 suppose the answer is that even
Republicans do not car to admit that
the I’nited States might have stayed
out of the wat. With politician* it is
a matter of principle, rising high ;
shove partisanship, to maintain that |
l ade .'Aain never took up arms ex
cept through dire necessity: to con
cede that he ever made a mistake in
doing so might make it hard to stir
up enthusiasm for some future war.
So leap however, as Republicans, as !
well as Democrats, stand pat that Am-I
encan entrance Into the last conflict
was snsaeapahte. of course the G. O.
P can find no fault with the Wilson
regime for leading the country into
it. and piling up such a load of ob
ligations.
True, it is not eesy to find a public
man who lx willing to express quite
thH view oof present conditions.
Democrats insist on placing the
blame for everything upon Harding.
Coolidge and Hoover mismanagement.
Republicans would be delighted to
attribute the crises to germs planted
in President Wilson's time., but. as
suggested above, cannot do It without
implying that Americas participation
in the world struggle might have been
avoided, and are fearful of being con
sidered unpatriotic if they hint at any
thing of the sort— which undoubtedly
accounts for their ifctlnatton to seek
international reasons for current tri
bulations. rather than to discern them
in White House policies of the war
era.

fact that he ebooldly denounces both

on Democratic policy, for starting it

to the Republican reduction of taxes

ties and da* riot* have contributed
$1*58.012 from additional countywide

During the 1931 General Assembly,
when an gffort was being made to gel
the Stare to supply the entire amount
of funds needed to pay the cost of the
six months school term. It was main
lamed by the friends of this movement
that the six month* term had not been
costing more than t 19.000.000 a year
and that under state support and sup
ervision. it could be maintained for
$18,000,000 a year or less. At that
time these figures were regarded as
being too low. although at that time
no accurate data could be obtained.
These figures showing that the six
months term coat not less than $22-
