"For two years the Farmers and Taxpayers League has warned the people sag interests require the election of a Legislature loyal to taxpayers rather than to Officialdom. , "The League has induced an unprecedented number of candidates for t the Legislature to offer. Through its organization, and through these candidates, and by a two year publicity campaign, it has been a potent factor in securing the largest enrollment in the history of the statd. "Throughout the counties candidates for the 'Legislature have been asked to declare themselves on the League econonjy^program, and to the support of those endorsing it the League members are rallying. "As officers you are urged to redbuble your effortfe to get out every vote supporting the League platform. While each of our members will qse his own best judgment as to whom to vote for, it is^ expected they will be ^iosterL about, the attitude of each-candidate towards our cause, and that every League member will then give his vigorous support and his vote to (Candidates most loyal to our campaign for lower taxes. ' "Those who profit most by the appropriations are active. ^ Officialdom ,has marshalled its forces.

In order to meet the needs of the individual pupil, a large number of elective subjects is offered and the most careful consideration should be given to the selection of these subjects. ?y early registration, the tiresome waiting.. in the classrooms on the first day of school is avoided. Pupils who register earlybwill have a better chance of taking the subjects they desire since the schedule for classes will be to a large extent based upon the selections made. Pupils will not be kept at school all day; just as soon as the* pupil has been registered, he will be excused. ^ Parents of high school pupils are urged to discuss with them the courses offered in high* school >nd to assist the principal in every way possible in guiding the young people into work that will prove the most beneficial. If colleflgwtraining is anticipated, a carefin^inspection of the high school work should be made by the parents of the pupil, for not all the curriculums in high school meet college requirements.
