In cases of government- fostered monopoly some kind of price or rate-fixing is still necessary. It may be necessary in war time to ex tend the authority of office-holders stlli further. But there la now an illiberal movement In all the liberal countries to make this extension or the authority of the office-holder permanent. T. X. Carver. Harvard University.

ANOTHER FIGHT OF HIS LIFE BY LLOYD GEORGE. Lloyd George has entered upon one of the stormiest times of his remarkably stormy career. He has opened his campaign in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections in England, . and his first great speech, printed in The Statesman of this morning, outlines world policies that will receive universal attention. A few days ago, his political opponents were saying that he would haver to depend upon the Tories or Conservatives, with whom he has been: working of late But he boldly proclaims a progressive policy so sweeping as to take the breath away; outlining proposed reforms that would in former times have cost him all of his Conservative support. lie goes in for a continuation of the coalition government, pro claiming that this is as necessary for the reconstruction period as it was for the successful prosecution of Great Britain's share of the war. And he stands squarely and plainly and boldly for a league of nations after the war io preserve the peace of the world. ; It, is a fascinating program. . It is a bold stand, by the outstanding international political figure, When they reflect, the people of England will get over their surprise. They will remember that Lloyd George has ever been a bold ad venturer in the political arena, and a fearless fighter. . And he will surely win, in the British elections ; for the good and glory of his own country, and for the good and glory of the world, whieh needs the services of such a statesman in the solution of the problems of reconstruction and the firm, establishment of permanent peace. J FEATHERED PRODUCERS. SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET. To the Clerk of School District No. 24, Marion County. Oregon: Following Is a statement of the estimated amount of money needed by the district during the fiscal year beginning on June 30. 1918. and end ing on June 30, 1919. This budget made in compliance wiin taction 217 of the School Laws of 1917. and Includes the estimated amounts to be received from the county school fund, state school fund, special dis trict tax and all other moneys of the district: IUIKiKT. Estimated Ktpendlture. Teachers' salaries 1105,417.00 The comparative weakness of Bol shevism among the Czechs Is no doubt to be explained in great part by the fact that their energies have been fully absorbed in a hopeful na tionalistic effort. A nation which is fighting heroically to regain liberties lost for centuries is in too patriotic mood for Internationalism or a class conflict. Moreover .the class conflict among the Csechs is by no means so acute as in some other na tionalities because they are essen tially a democratic people. Their aristocracy was for the most part destroyed long ago, either put to death or driven Into exile,, and the Bohemian nobility remaining Is more Herman than Czech. At the present day the Czechs ar :nueh as any na Uonality In Europe are a community of plain people with a splm of es sential equality, being in strong con trast In this respect with the Poles. who have kept through all their trib ulations a strong and haughty aris tocracy. For the present the Czechs hav enough to do In founding their long dreamed of national state with out going In for radical socialism. IN OLD ALEPPO. It Is set forth that in the agree ment with Turkey the Arabs will be permitted to form another Independ ent state of their own with the cap ital at Aleppo. Let's see: Wasn't It at Aleppo that Othello smote the malignant and Turbaned Turk who traduced the state? Not only history but romance re peats Itself. , Genial representatives of our gracious government are working overtime in the matter of showing us how to produce if not one way, then another. The other day a hiehbrowed gentleman from the Department of Agriculture waa fihowing us how to 'sort over our yvuury ana aeierraine wnicn oirus were earning tneir keep. This party could look a hen coldly in the eye and tell whether she had an egg record before her or not. IIU ideas on Hoganizing were tried om jot fourteen days on one flock of 142 birds and it was found thai 'there was much method in his madness. On his inspection he re jected thirty-seven hens" as culls and they would be ordinarilv con derailed to the block. In this case they were placed in a separate pen and given a trial. In fourteen days these thirty-seven derelicts laid only fifteen eggs worth about a dollar at top-market price.. In xn game iime tney consumed about four dollars worth of fodder. In the same span of two weeks the other 105 hens laid 605 eggs an average of about six to a bird and worth nearly forty dollars. ' As their board and-keep cost only about' half this sum these hens were earning their salary. It is this business of feeding the non- - producer that raises havoc with the finances of so many of our poul try men. There is no sentiment to these experts. They often miss their guess, but at the same time, if a hen cannot respond to the simple tests of their inspection, they have no scruples about sen tencing her to the guillotine i Perhaps the German clown prince has joined Valla. - Franc is raising the question of punishing the guilty men who started the war.

He wrote a number, of clauses into the armistice agreement that will reflect his caution, his wisdom and his mercy. If the war was to be over, 1t was to be over, Foch wisely and mercifully reasoned. : Even the orders of the great Mar shal Foch could not keep the Yanks and Germans in the front lines from doing a little fraternizing.

Balance, amount to be raised by district tax.f 95.818.54 fl77.C9.50 The amount of money to be raised by this special tax is more than the amount raised by special school dis trlct tax in the year Immediately pre ceding this, plus per cent. It If necessary to raise this additional amount by special levy for the fol lowing reasons: The Increase In taxes Is due to four items: (1) Increases In salar ies, f 5.9 7 1.5 9: (2) decrease in mon ey coming; from the state and county funds because there is a decrease of number of pupils on the census which decrease lowers vthe incomes from state and county funds by 5300.09; (3) a shrinkage of 1873.75 at least on uncollected taxes of last year is certain and (4) the purchase of the Holman property, which la an addi tion to the high school grounds and buildings costing 3250. The first three items are directly caused by war conditions: (1) The teachers' salaries had to be raised to maintain our force; (2) parents with large families moved to . localities where employment is more profitable and (3) it is not safe to figure all the Income from taxes. The Holman property is a good buy at the figure mentioned. Dated this 9th day of November. 1918. II. L. Clark. R. C. Bishop. H. O. White. W. C. Wlnslow, -r-E. T. Barnes.
