The question uppermost In the n1inds of those interested in education ust now, is the, proposed slash of the chool fund. I do not know how the aiurens delegation stands on this reat issue, but I do know hat they hould consider the wishes of thekr onstituents and come out squarely in favor of all appropriations which vill enrich andl improve the finance of lie common schools of the state, there )y enriching and improving the mowledge of the hundreds of children >f the state. The cidii(iren of the rural listricts want a square deal and the ountry schools want justice, but ieither call be secured if the appro riations for the common schools are ut.

Sales Tax Favored. Washington, Feb. 22.--The financing of the s.oldier bonus by means of a manufacturers' or wholesalers' tax was discussed in what 'was described as a "general sort of way" at two ses rionQ today of the 'Republican members of the house ways and means commit tee dealing with this subject. It was announced that there would be no fur ther sessions until Friday and mem bcr.s indicated that there was no dis psltilon to hurry a decision. Representative Lngworth, ranking member of the special committee, said it was his judgment that a gentral manufacturers' and 'wholesalers' tax similar to that in force in Canada would be recommended. He hought the rates would be lower than thosc in Canada as treasury exiperts had es timated that the Canadian rates, i] S-R OPE New These are 1 *Newest Cr Prices Mosi Specials for Fri( One lot Crepe de chi in beautiful patterns an $2.50 the yard, going S day for 9 New Sprir We are showing lots our Millinery Departme every clay.

Mr. Longworth said he did not thint the bonus bill would be ready for thi house this week or next. 1He state( that there was some disposition or the part of many house members t( postpone action . the measure foi a time to await the opening of refund lig negotiations betiween the Unitec States and the debtor nations. 'Callinj attention that the refunding commis sion had been appointed by the presi dent, the Ohio member said there was reason to believe that before July th< Inited States would have some of th< refunded bonds in hands. The president, Mr. Longthworth weni Ion to say, undoubtedly would not b( opiiosed to the sale of some of th< foreign bonds .in this country to ob. tain money for the bonus. lie adde( that before this could be done con gress would have to enact a law giv ing authority to the secretary of th treasury to so dispose of the securitie, as the presCit law provides that hi must use them in retiring a part o: the public debt. The Ohio member said the presiden was opposed to the enactment of honu: legislation without any provision foi raising the funds. If the propose( sales tax iprovision was be- it in thi house, lie added, the bill th n wouk simply be a charge against the treas ury. It was his opinion that if , sales tax were reported the hous would be given an opportunity to vot< separately on that tax. A separate vote unas been demandeu by opponents of a sales tax who con tinued today to tighten their Lines fo the fight that is now regarded on al sides as almost certain. Opponent: said if necessary there will -be a figh all along the line, from the ways ani means commnittee, to the party con ference, to the rules committee an finally to the house. They did no think the fight would last that lon but continued to circulate ipeition among house members.
