Such Is the emphatic Miitcini'iil of SiLperlm cileni A. T. Allen. "My department is working to .show the need of the fi;: li i months' school term." declared Mr. Allen here today. "The im thuds of fi nancing the project we are leav ? llifC to the Cencrul Assembly which Is the body for that pur pose. > "I think tho mutter ought lo he determined aside from any scheme of taxation and on its own , merits. That Is. I believe an eight months' school term is a more fundamental proposition than the method of financing it. Kuch ticncral Assembly has pow er to change financing methods If ' first plans do not work out." Mr. Mb n asserted the issue of ! an eight , months' school term loo often is linked with that of a ! method of taxation and immed | lately the main issue is forgot I ten." i "Taxes always are unpopular,'* | he* declared. "Whenever the ar gument Is raised for an eight mont lo.' school term, sone-one ; starts talking about the financing 'of such a proposition. Then the taxation issue is hopp-d upon for people love to cuss taxes and ithe main Issue equal educational | opportunity is entirely forgotten. "I would like to see the mat ter submitted as a referendum. Then the people could pass upon i whether they want the eight months* school term." Mr. Allen continues to believe 'that tiie lengthened school term would mean a great deal Tor the chlldn 11 of the Slate. He also is .convinced that It Is the duty of his department to work for the eight months' school term from the ! standpoint of education ami let the Ueneral Assembly work on the , mutter front the standpoint of providing the funds. Then sentiment of the people. ; he believes, is crvst alizlng behind his department and a majority fav ; or tli" lengthened school term. While there may be setbacks III ? working out the |dan he is con fident that in the 'end it will be given full approval. lie also be lieves that the farts on school I conditions which the department j has been .'issuing for th*1 past sev eral mouths have been read and studied by the people and have had )a good effect from the ftandpoint f of the proponent* of better educa tional oppoi til li It Irs. levy every pay day on affrighted foreigners working iu the steel and ; Iron mills. Then prohibition <came. and the "art" of booth-Kging ( was organized. The "black hand" was all but forgotten. The secret ! "agents" found liquor selling so much more remunerative than the bu< khuud that they never went 'bark to the old game. Arguments of prohibition advo cates and enforcement officials 'that virtually every case of liquor illicitly laid down at the door of a bootleg patron hud found Its wav through a trail of human blood, have had but little effect. I'sual ly the shedding of blood has been between rival gangs of boot loggers [or between bootleggers and tl\eir natural enemies, the hl-Jackers.* or ; else between bootleggers and "rev | onueiu," and little heed lias been paid. Here in Canton the underworld has claimed a prominent victim. ! The good pertple of the city are outraged. Men and women, too. who have patronized the bootleg | gang ^re. for the first time, begin ning to worry.

ImiI lie Ih kept roiiHtanlly advised by the Depart iiii*ii t ol Commerce I lie g rowing slate <>i Kuropcati sale* in America. For some lime outside observ ers. particularly abroad, have crit icized i be American position as Il logical. because on I In* one hand tin- Cnited Stall's insisted on pay iiii*iii of war debts Willi gold and at the ha tin* lime kept Kuropean countries by a tariff wall from penetrating to the American con sumer Willi cheaply made pro duels, 1 1 was argued that the 1'iiiied Slates cither must buy more of Kurope or else eminent to a slower payment of war debts. As between the two policies, namely tearing down the tariff wall ami Kitting quicker payment from Kurope or keeping It high mid accepting long-term adjust ments of foreign debts, PreHldent C'oolidge bus not publicly said a' word, but his adhereuco to the protective tariff principle has been reiterated again and again as a sufficient answer. Mr, Coolidge .i..?.- ,...? i \. i ? v i he Injury to Am erican prosperity through a ered starlff would be offset to any considerable extent by the pay ments on war debts. In other words, he regards the tariff structure as an economic fact eo. imporiant to American wealth that I be payments from abroad which would be accelerated seem as If they were a drop in the buck el lu comparison. There is. on the other hand, a 'constant pressure to make the President see the wisdom of lo'w crlng Ihe tarirf wall to a certain extent so as to permit Kuropean goods to come into competition In some Instances with America? goods, lie Is every now and theft petitioned lo let I ho wall bo re duced ho as lo uffecl tho produc ers who are making the prices to American consumers almost as IiU'Ii us the tariff wall because they know the tariff protects them from compel ll Ion. Hut Mr. Cool* Idge is urged by the defenders of i lie system not to permit any tinkering because It Is argued that American working men are being sustained at a high level of waf is because of tho high prices , which It Is possible to charge (be consumer and that any reduction lu such prices forced by Kuropean competition would mean a refla tion of labor costs. The significant tiling Is that even though America Is not touching the tariff law, Kurops Is desperately overcoming some of ^ the obstacles by deviating cheaper methods of production and by the drop in wage standards abroad produced by Ihe diminishing value of foreign currencies In terms of the Amorlean dollar. America's imports are rising despite the tar iff. So It Ih more or less the Presl* dent's conjecture thai the Iswt of supply and demand and the never* ending economies that competi tion forces on rival producers will enable Ihe Pnltod Slates to boy more goods from Kerope dnnplti lie- tailff slid Hint as a cona# ?l ii trice much of the money needed to pay war debts will be realised by Kurope. i KOKit Ai, moors on latAitn mkxico i:ity Mi \lco City.
