One is safe ill guessing that of the 12.00. post offices affected by the ordei of the president, 12.000 will be filled by Republicans and that in the South at least many of this number will be men objectionabh to the people thev are to serve. , Congressman McSwain of South Carolina must have felt about as important as a plugged peiui> when the Republican house Monday got through with the amendment he proposed to the army appropriation bill providing for u big increase for vocational training. Congressman Greene of Vermont bowled over McSwain and his amendment with the statement that '"the army is organized for fighting, not for going to school."

C. ^ ill be abolished at .the State university within the next year is true. There has been 110 reason for the maintenance at the university of the military department since the close of the world war. On the other hand, ? there was reason why it should have long since been abolished. The, department is out of harmony with the aims and purposes of the university. Boys do not go to the university to obtain military instruction, but the course has been compulsory. The time the students are forced to devote to the course is time wasted ard for months the department has been a jbke. Not only that, the R. O. T.

It is proposed to issue $4,000 waterworks bonds. The proceeds of these bonds are to be used in paying off the indebtedness con tracted for th'e extension of lho waterworks system. There have been several of these extensions made during the pust few years for the purpose of giving as far as possible all .citizens the benefit of water service. Since it was put in the waterworks system has just paid expenses and it is useless to expect to pay this debt ih any way except by selling bonds. The town will save $180 per year in intercut by selling six per cent bonds instead of borrowing monev at eight per cent. Other Bonds. It i8 proposed as an entirely separate proposition to issue $10.XX) bonds, the proceeds to be used to aid as far as may be necessary in the permanent paving to be put down by the paving commission. Thirty thousand dollars of bonds were voteddast year for this tot-pose, to be supplemented b\ $? 0,000 government aid. This government aid was later withIrawu ami the commission has been unable to do the work outlined with* $30,000. Labor and material have come down to the I point where the commission can low do this paving with some assis tan co from the council. It is th? refore proposed to supplement this $30.(KK) ot bonds with such mrt of the .$10,000 as may be necessary and use the balance toward paying off the floating debt of he town, now about $5,000, on which the town also is paving eight per cent interest. Taxes. These $14,000 of bonds will only nerease .the debt of the town by s (*5.000. since it already owes and has owed for some years the balance. The interest on .the $9,000 wc now owe at eight per cent is H720. The interest on the $14,000 >ondu at six per cent will be $840, ir.d' the levy will not have to be raised to take care of this small imount.. Since this proposition puts the own finances in much better bape ami insures the speedy completion of the permanent pav iiipr at very small cost without in crease in the levy, the council ha? recoininemled this action to tintaxpayers and voters and will have the petitions circulated.
