Rotary .Club Enjoys
A Splendid Program
President Jackson Eight Years In
Col'ccting Few Millions From
Francs; B. F. C. Plans'.
The Rotary club had a fine program
at their meet:ng 'e.t The Tavern las!.
Thursday.
Efsvinar nothing of a set nature fcr
the session, Dr. J. B. Wallace i-ead a
imagaaine article which described in
detail the experience President Jackson had a hta-Mred years ago trying
to -collect 55,000.000 from Franse. He
succeeded jrst before .*/he expiration
of his second term. Judging from his
experience, if Uncle S?i*n' gets another cent of what the frog eaters now
owe us he'll have to take his battle
fleet, all his marines and ths Boost of
his soldiers" over there and stick
around until they come to their
senses.
Mr. Wilson had the pleasure of being the first to convey to-the club the
honors conferred- on their proteeres,
the Corn club boys, at East Lansing
•last week, .mention of which appears
elsewhere in this paper.
Leigh Townsend, engineer-manager
of the county road commission, was
a guest end speke of t the loan the
county ia endeavoring to obtain from
the Recnostructi'on Finance Corporation. He stated that the county does
not^asv. for 54,000,000. as it is rumored that they want, b*:it just a portion of that sum.. It iwih /be used for
work on th** county roads to 'relieve
the unemployment situation, and .lie
nice thing about it is the fact that the
money will not have to be renaid bv
the taxpayers,'the amount being advanced from, funds devoted by tie
government to federal'aid projects.

YORK TOWNSHIP TAXES
| Boy! Folks, if youemissed those
: sensational basketball games Friday,
yen certainly did miss a treat, and
how! Our boys couldn't have shown
.more "stuff" than they did in those
i two cont sts. Na.v" we're all pepped
up for that red-hot game tomorrow
night, and are- we. going to- give them
a run for their money? I think so.
Come on, folks, pack that gym at
. Milan tomorrow, night; if we don't
lick 'em in basketball we'll lick 'em-
otherwise. Take it from me, that's
going to he a real game.
: The school finally produced four
' peppy girl yell leaders. That's what
, we needed a long time ago. There
j always has to foe a lead in pep. Now
we've got IT! A team, pep., and
' good old fight 'em school" spirit
.That's the stuff; let's just stay ->be-
' hindi our team whether they win or
!lose;
Just a little reminder of that St.
Paul's mystery play, at the opera
house February 16, and don't miss it.
The latest reports I have been able
to gei.. and from reliable sources,
too, about this time of civil strafe,
I is thmp-s aTe gradually picking up.
j Not with a .boom! or extreme sud-
I denness, but very slowly. Nevertheless there has been a very slight increase in the business of our large
manufari/ii.ring -plants.' Of course,
our lo'cal merchants haven't notioed
! the change, but it will come. -It has
to!
I A new type cf aeroplane has been
' developed. It can run on the ground,
J the wings folding and power being
I transferrde to the wheels, and in a
| few jnoim.snjts can take off- from the
; main highway to hundreds of feet in
| the air. - — •
j The strikers of the Briggs Manu-
! f acturing Company have, ibeen isevere-
i ly criticized for their daring acts' in
! stopping commerce of the plant.
[They also .have been criticized by a
j certain few for even going on a
i strike. It is said."half a loaf is bet-
| ter than none." New is it? I'd much
I rather starve to death outright in a
week or so, than to prolong it with
scandalous wages. Can-* a woman
■rightly live on five cents an hour?
j Can a man support a family on nine
I cents an hour? No, a'hundred times
! no; not even if he .worked 24 hours
'a day. Why- work to starvation?
jiWhy. not starve gracefully and smile
j while doing it ? I think if you, were
in those strikers' shoes, the first
thing you'd do would probably be to
get a shino; then I believe you, yes,
even the best of you, would do ths
same thing those- people did—strike!
■'■More money -and -live- right,- or no
■ money and! not live at all. Life's too
i short to (work hard to starvation.
! Another vital question of tcday is
I the .tax law. .We can't let that go
I through. It would be the ruination of
! our country. Look at .-all the young
j children that .would be running the,
'•streets! Why, it would imake mere
I whins cut of half our young popuia-
j tion.
Doesn't a mother have a hard
! enough time keeping her children
! home in the few .months' vacation
they have' It's not so n'oticea."olc
,here, but think of Detroit! Just imagine those traffic-infested streets
[all cluttered with little children that
should be' under a mother's care.
I've heard radicals say, "Oh. close
i the schools; what are they good for
'anyf-ay?" Just what kind of a"civ-
ilization would we have in half a
• century ? The insane asylums and
homes for the mentally ^deficient are
> over-crowded now. We'd- just have
I to build "nut" houses for- each other.
;I guess it would give- employment,
;anyway. I believe*> all- the petty
' thievery carried on by .the younger
' generation, wandering the *" streets
■would soon change the minds of a
! few.
| I'm not speaking as a prophet. I
! know. I've seen a good deal of petty
• stealing by the youngsters. They
(crave excitement, .thrills- and the
sport of it is just thrilling;- you know.
If a school doesn't teach, • it at least
'keeps some out of mischief. That's
.half the battle, isn't it*?* ■.
! Just think, you mothers of young
'children, if this law goes through,
j your sons and daughters will foe 24
: the day they graduate. Can you sup-
■ port them, that long ? Many can
iharelv keep .Mieir- young ones in
school now." Think of keeping them
j th'-r^ 18 vsars!
! I think it would be much more sensible to close public amusement
places and keep the schools-open.
■ What good is the World's Fair?
Don't .think me a pessimist. Th".
I fair and olympiads are .wonderful
events, but are they ahead of owr
schools? The money spent on the
Olympic contests would run the
schools of this\ country for a long
time.
i Think, it over, and see if you don't
agree .with me—schools absolutely
first, with no exceptions. ...
Message to Leglslatjre By Governur
Comstock Shows His Concern
in Students' Welfare.
Appreciation of the stand taken
by Governor William' A. Comstock in
the presentation to the legislature cf
his,, fiscal program, in which the
financial difficulties confronting the
adoadn'.stirabion cf public school edu-;
cation because of the enactment of
the tax limitation amendment w3tc
discussed, was expressed this week
by E. F. Henne, president -of the
Board* of Education.
"In his message last Thursday to
the legislature the Governor shows
not only his concern of the seridus-
■ nsss of the crisis facing the schools,'
ibut also a real insight into the problem.," Mr. Henne declared. "His
i statement that 'it is necessary to
provide as full assurance* as possible
that the schcols .will remain open'
certainly is in keeping with the
thought and opinion of the people of
the state whs realize the extrme necessity of imaintain'ng an uninterrupted school program. The citizens
of Saline will concur heartily in his
•views."
] According to the Governor's program the present primary school
fund would be retained near its present level and its revenue safeguarded
both by constitutional amendment
and by further diverting to it certain
sales tax items. In addition, a portion of the state property tax, as
now levied against real property,
would be available for school purposes.
: To protect local units deriving
' revenue from the property tax, legislative enactment is recombnended to
establish .a minimum_ allocation for
each of the various "age'neies—county, city or township, anldl school district. In addition, in counties of less
than 30,000 inhabitants a county
board of three, (consisting of the
' county clerk, one member appointed
' of the Board of iSupervisors,_ancLone
member selected by the state' superintendent cf public instruction) will
! be named to determfna additional
tax levies not1 to exceed 15 mills. In
co'-nties having moire than 30,000
inhabitants the county allocation
: board (will consist of four members.
' "Asr.~r.ance accordingly of at least
a minimum program!'is provided by
tha, Governcr's racoTnacndations.
With it as a working basis it shcu-M.
be possible for parents, boa.rds cf
, education, and school officials to
- work out a satisfaptcxy'^'olution for
our educational prble.ms and keep the
schools cf Saline and of Michigan in
sat'sfactory operation until further
revenues may be obtained," Mr.
Henne declared.

Plans'. The Rotary club had a fine program at their meet:ng 'e.t The Tavern las!. Thursday. Efsvinar nothing of a set nature fcr the session, Dr. J. B. Wallace i-ead a imagaaine article which described in detail the experience President Jackson had a hta-Mred years ago trying to -collect 55,000.000 from Franse. He succeeded jrst before .*/he expiration of his second term. Judging from his experience, if Uncle S?i*n' gets another cent of what the frog eaters now owe us he'll have to take his battle fleet, all his marines and ths Boost of his soldiers" over there and stick around until they come to their senses. Mr. Wilson had the pleasure of being the first to convey to-the club the honors conferred- on their proteeres, the Corn club boys, at East Lansing •last week, .mention of which appears elsewhere in this paper. Leigh Townsend, engineer-manager of the county road commission, was a guest end speke of t the loan the county ia endeavoring to obtain from the Recnostructi'on Finance Corporation. He stated that the county does not^asv. for 54,000,000. as it is rumored that they want, b*:it just a portion of that sum.. It iwih /be used for work on th** county roads to 'relieve the unemployment situation, and .lie nice thing about it is the fact that the money will not have to be renaid bv the taxpayers,'the amount being advanced from, funds devoted by tie government to federal'aid projects. MANY PEOPLE ATTEND HAAKiER-S FREE DRAWING Raymond Burkhait is Winner of the Lard; Two Prizes Wi'l Be Given" Away Next Week. Haarer's Quality Meat Mlarket was filled almost to capacity Saturday evening by people, all hoping to win" the 25 pounds of lard. After two efforts the "number held by Raymond Burkhart, was drawn, and that -was that. * Next week, however, there will be two prizes, so if you do not win the first you still have a chance on the second. A smoked ham will be the first prize and a slab of ihacon will be given awav as the second prize on Sat- urniay, February 18. YORK TOWNSHIP TAXES Boy! Folks, if youemissed those : sensational basketball games Friday, yen certainly did miss a treat, and how! Our boys couldn't have shown .more "stuff" than they did in those i two cont sts. Na.v" we're all pepped up for that red-hot game tomorrow night, and are- we. going to- give them a run for their money? I think so. Come on, folks, pack that gym at . Milan tomorrow, night; if we don't lick 'em in basketball we'll lick 'em- otherwise. Take it from me, that's going to he a real game. : The school finally produced four ' peppy girl yell leaders. That's what , we needed a long time ago. There j always has to foe a lead in pep. Now we've got IT! A team, pep., and ' good old fight 'em school" spirit .That's the stuff; let's just stay ->be- ' hindi our team whether they win or !lose; Just a little reminder of that St. Paul's mystery play, at the opera house February 16, and don't miss it. The latest reports I have been able to gei.. and from reliable sources, too, about this time of civil strafe, I is thmp-s aTe gradually picking up. j Not with a .boom! or extreme sud- I denness, but very slowly. Nevertheless there has been a very slight increase in the business of our large manufari/ii.ring -plants.' Of course, our lo'cal merchants haven't notioed ! the change, but it will come. -It has to! I A new type cf aeroplane has been ' developed. It can run on the ground, J the wings folding and power being I transferrde to the wheels, and in a few jnoim.snjts can take off- from the ; main highway to hundreds of feet in the air. - — • j The strikers of the Briggs Manu- ! f acturing Company have, ibeen isevere- i ly criticized for their daring acts' in ! stopping commerce of the plant. [They also .have been criticized by a j certain few for even going on a i strike. It is said."half a loaf is bet- ter than none." New is it? I'd much I rather starve to death outright in a week or so, than to prolong it with scandalous wages. Can-* a woman ■rightly live on five cents an hour? j Can a man support a family on nine I cents an hour? No, a'hundred times ! no; not even if he .worked 24 hours 'a day. Why- work to starvation? jiWhy. not starve gracefully and smile j while doing it ? I think if you, were in those strikers' shoes, the first thing you'd do would probably be to get a shino; then I believe you, yes, even the best of you, would do ths same thing those- people did—strike! ■'■More money -and -live- right,- or no ■ money and! not live at all. Life's too i short to (work hard to starvation. ! Another vital question of tcday is I the .tax law. .We can't let that go I through. It would be the ruination of ! our country. Look at .-all the young j children that .would be running the, '•streets! Why, it would imake mere I whins cut of half our young popuia- j tion. Doesn't a mother have a hard ! enough time keeping her children ! home in the few .months' vacation they have' It's not so n'oticea."olc ,here, but think of Detroit! Just imagine those traffic-infested streets [all cluttered with little children that should be' under a mother's care. I've heard radicals say, "Oh. close i the schools; what are they good for 'anyf-ay?" Just what kind of a"civ- ilization would we have in half a • century ? The insane asylums and homes for the mentally ^deficient are > over-crowded now. We'd- just have I to build "nut" houses for- each other. ;I guess it would give- employment, ;anyway. I believe*> all- the petty ' thievery carried on by .the younger ' generation, wandering the *" streets ■would soon change the minds of a ! few. I'm not speaking as a prophet. I ! know. I've seen a good deal of petty • stealing by the youngsters. They (crave excitement, .thrills- and the sport of it is just thrilling;- you know. If a school doesn't teach, • it at least 'keeps some out of mischief. That's .half the battle, isn't it*?* ■. ! Just think, you mothers of young 'children, if this law goes through, j your sons and daughters will foe 24 : the day they graduate. Can you sup- ■ port them, that long ? Many can iharelv keep .Mieir- young ones in school now." Think of keeping them j th'-r^ 18 vsars! ! I think it would be much more sensible to close public amusement places and keep the schools-open. ■ What good is the World's Fair? Don't .think me a pessimist. Th". I fair and olympiads are .wonderful events, but are they ahead of owr schools? The money spent on the Olympic contests would run the schools of this\ country for a long time. i Think, it over, and see if you don't agree .with me—schools absolutely first, with no exceptions. ... Message to Leglslatjre By Governur Comstock Shows His Concern in Students' Welfare. Appreciation of the stand taken by Governor William' A. Comstock in the presentation to the legislature cf his,, fiscal program, in which the financial difficulties confronting the adoadn'.stirabion cf public school edu-; cation because of the enactment of the tax limitation amendment w3tc discussed, was expressed this week by E. F. Henne, president -of the Board* of Education. "In his message last Thursday to the legislature the Governor shows not only his concern of the seridus- ■ nsss of the crisis facing the schools,' ibut also a real insight into the problem." Mr. Henne declared. "His i statement that 'it is necessary to provide as full assurance* as possible that the schcols .will remain open' certainly is in keeping with the thought and opinion of the people of the state whs realize the extrme necessity of imaintain'ng an uninterrupted school program. The citizens of Saline will concur heartily in his •views." ] According to the Governor's program the present primary school fund would be retained near its present level and its revenue safeguarded both by constitutional amendment and by further diverting to it certain sales tax items. In addition, a portion of the state property tax, as now levied against real property, would be available for school purposes. : To protect local units deriving ' revenue from the property tax, legislative enactment is recombnended to establish .a minimum_ allocation for each of the various "age'neies—county, city or township, anldl school district. In addition, in counties of less than 30,000 inhabitants a county board of three, (consisting of the ' county clerk, one member appointed ' of the Board of iSupervisors,_ancLone member selected by the state' superintendent cf public instruction) will ! be named to determfna additional tax levies not1 to exceed 15 mills. In co'-nties having moire than 30,000 inhabitants the county allocation : board (will consist of four members. ' "Asr.~r.ance accordingly of at least a minimum program!'is provided by tha, Governcr's racoTnacndations. With it as a working basis it shcu-M. be possible for parents, boa.rds cf , education, and school officials to - work out a satisfaptcxy'^'olution for our educational prble.ms and keep the schools cf Saline and of Michigan in sat'sfactory operation until further revenues may be obtained" Mr. Henne declared.
