including the City of Wilmington.
"When the General Assembly con

• : J 'Our present law requires
State Board of Education to present
sir ^budget of the estimated expendi

When aJl districts

for 1924-25, $2.800,000. The State

with the law, read his reeommenda

that the present income for school

that the State Board cut down the

This means more than 20 per cent.

which, if carried out. will mean a re

corresponding reduction of fuel. Do
you on your board favor such a re*
duction? If not. I reconvmcnd that
you get your board together at an
early date, present the contents "f

community meeting, and that the re

request of the law, the State Board
has under consideration a building,*°"

the past six yean*. During this
period there has not been one dollar
spent to my knowledge on the erec
tion of new school buidings from
State funds. The three million dol
lars seems conservative enough in
asmuch as there will be one and a
half million* of this due each year
for a period of two years. These
bonds would bear interest at five per
cent., and 1-26 or 4 per cent, would
be retired each year, making a total
of 9 per cent, of three million dol
lars. which would be $270,000 the
amount necessary to be appropri
ated for the next two years, etc., to
take care of this building program."
Mr. McKnight expresses his be
lief that thi* amount could be raised
by levying a tax on investments, such
as stocks- bonds and mortgages, and
concludes:
"The success of the echools of this
State, their future, depends in a
large measure upon your own wil
lingness, together with your board,
to preeent these matters Intelligently
to your community and to the mem
bers of the Legislature from your
section.
May we count on you to
act, and to do your part for this and
the coming generations."
KILL COTTON FUTURES BILL
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18 (United
Press).—The Dial bill restricting
transaction in cotton futures, was
klled In the Senate today by a vote
of 46 to 21.
The bill would have so graded cot
ton under government supervision
as to hinder dealings in cotton fu
tures, it was contended.
Dial, who introduced the bill sev
eral months ago, tacked it on as an
addition to the Capper farm bills
measure so that a vote might be
,:tken on it immediately.

Past and present conditions 1n

Mr. YVilliams reviewed the troubles
from the time when Porliero Diaz
was deposed as President to the
present time and told of the mur
derous outrages that have been per
petrated against Americans. It was
a singular fact, he said, that during
tile rule of Carranza as President,
such outrages were so frequent as to
be nearly continuous; but as soon as
Carranza had been deposed, they
stopped as by magic. From (his It

that t , )o Mexlcan , e them8elvPB

government, which had failed to
prevent the evil-minded among the
Mexicans from venting their feel
ings.
Mr.
Williams said that Mexico under the
present constitution, was losing sight
of the .economic and other funda
mentals that make for good govern
ment. The Agrarian law as now en
forced not only tended to frighten
capital from investing in the country
and foreigners from residing In It,
but also the best and most patriotic
Mexicans. ^
"The spirit of government is
such,' said the speaker, "that the in
