TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS
Two very important meetings, In
which every voter and taxpayer of
this community should parte;
will be held in th. city hall next
Monday evening, February _0.
The first meeting will select at
least two candidates for the office
of school director, to fill the vacancy
on tie- board created by the expira
tion of the term of F. C. Forrest,
inasmuch as the public schools are
the most, important local enterprise
In Pullman, measured either by the
number of employees, by the cost of
maintenance or by the value of the
product, th" selection of the best
qualified man procurable ... assist in
managing the enterprise, should be
of deep interest to every voter. it
involves the welfare of the children
and the pocketbooks of the tax
payers.
Following the selection of candi
dates for school director, a local tax
payers association will be organized
to co-operate with similar associa
tions in all parts of the county to
devise ways and means of reducing
and distributing the tax burden. In
dividual grumbling and protests can
accomplish little along these lines,
but organized effort can accomplish
a great deal. To function efficiently
the association must be directed by
able and earnest officers and it must
have the united backing of the tax
payers. The ideas, advice and active
support of every property owner are
needed, if worth while results are to
be attained.
The meetings next Monday even
ing are far more Important than any
lodge session or social gathering and
every voter should be present unless
kept away by unavoidable circum
stances.
WM. GOODYEAR.
PEACE PROMOTERS OR
POLITICAL PARTIZANS
It is to he hoped that the treaties
negotiated at the recent limitation
of armaments conference In Wash
ington Avill be promptly ratified by
the senate. They may be Inadequate
and they may have objectionable
features but they tend to foster
peace between nations for the time
being and to check the suicidal race
tot naval supremacy. For that
reason they should be accepted with
out haggling.
The vote will be a test of the pa
triotism and sincerity of the demo
cratic senators. If they seek re
venge for the defeat of the league
of nations treaty by the republicans,
if they play for party advantage In
the approaching campaign, they
might be able to justify their opposi
tion to the treaties to their constitu
ents, but could they justify it to their
own consciences? By adopting such
a course tie would lie placing a
■tumbling block in the path of dis
armament and of more amicable re
lations between nations.
Some <jf the democratic senators
seem disposed to measure these trea
ties by the standard of the ideals of
iodrow Wilson. This is a wrong
standard. The vital question is:
Will the treaties tend to promote
world peace and check the mad com
petition tor preparedness for war.
If they will, it mailers not whether
they conform to the ideals and poli
cies of any human being.
If the United States should refuse
to participate in this latest effort to
lessen the danger of future wars, it
WOUld be false to all its ideals and
professions. If it grunts its approval
of the treaties grudgingly, after long
and bitter discussion, it will throw
away another opportunity to lead
the world out of the blackness of
despair into the light of hope.
When a house is burning tho thing
to do is for everybody who can to
turn in and help extinguish the fire.
Men who hold hack to haggle and
argue about who shall take the lead
or whether to use water buck* l or
fire extinguishers will win little cred
it for themselves. Senators who re
fuse to stop playing their game of
political checkers while the future of
civilization _ at stake will and
should be given but short shift by
the people.
For supporters of the league of
nations to oppose the ratification of
the treaties on the ground that they
are not as good as the treaty of
Versailles Is as Illogical as for the
opponents of that Instrument to
fight them on the ground that they
will lead the United States into the
league by the back door.

promoter, not the political partizan,

A REAL SERVICE
The residents of school district
No. 59 are under deep obligations tc
Dr. C. W. Stone of the State College
and his students in education, for the
comprehensive survey of the local
schools which they have conducted
and the illuminating report which
they have made. Comparatively
few invalids ran afford to have their
maladies Carefully diagnosed by a
recognized specialist and the nielli
ods of cur. prescribed. Compara
tively few school districts enjoy the
advantage of having their schools in
[gated under the supervision and
dii... ion of a trained educational ex
peri. he Heal; points local, and
necessary uproi in- suggested.
The value the report lies i.i the
use which is made of it. The best
i in.'.11.',!! prescription in the world
avails nothing unless it is filled and
used in accordance with directions.
So tin- report prepared under the di
rection of Dr. Stone will be value
less, unless the school directors and
teachers study it carefully and carry
out, as far is possible, its recoin-
I meiulations. It embodies the results
I of observations made during a period
, of two years regarding the mental
| efficiency and development of mdi
I vidual pupils and of groups of pupils
lln different subjects taught, and
i shows how their progress is influ
i enced by such factors as physical con
dition, environment, home encour
| agement and the light and heat in
: the school rooms.
The conclusions based on this cafe
| fully conducted survey challenge at
-1 tention. There is no guess work
about the deductions, effect! are
; traced to causes and the responsibil
; ity for the causes is determined. The
j work has been well and carefully
| done and if the local schools do not
j profit greatly by this diagnosis of
| their Shortcomings and the remedial
j measures prescribed, it will he no
i fault of Dr. Stone and his students.
j They have done their part and it is
, now up to the school directors, the
. teachers and the parents to do theirs.

"BLUE SKY" LAW NEEDED
One hundred million dollars was
taken from the American people by
bucketshops, according to New York
officials who are investigating the
operations of swindlers in the me
tropolis.
The figure may be exaggerated
All forms of fraudulent stock Belling
perhaps did not account for a larger
sum. But; whether Ibe amount was
$10,000,000 or 10 times that amount,
it was a total loss and the loss was
suffered by those who least could af
ford it—the men and women of
■mall means and limited business ex
perience who bad hoped to find
financial independence by investment
in "securities" promising big returns.
These people are entitled to pro
tection from the law. The fact that
they are not receiving it and swin
dlers each year are taking large sums
from the pockets of the gullible and
uninformed in America is a national
scandal.
This is one Instance where states
should not look to the federal gov
ernment for assistance, It is within
the power of the legislature of this
commonwealth or any other to enact
a "blue skyl' law that will put an end
to the operation of rascally stock
salesmen. A law of thai kind will
become operative In Washington
whenever the people demand action
from their representatives at Olym
pia.
We demand that our foodstuffs
shall not be adulterated.
We are alert to detect fraud in
the weighing of coal.
We inspect the scales of retailers
of edible commodities.
Yet, Aye throw few or no safe
guards around the "little man" when
I he is importuned to purchase stocks
I that ale utterly worthless and are
| known to be worthless by those pur
! veying them.
There's something wrong here—
I something that calls for prompt cor
| rection,

.Mr. .Verrenrath Is one of the most
interesting personalities among th<
artists now before the public and on(
of 'lie moijt popular singers this
country has ever possessed. Success
seems to hive sought him quite as
much as. lie sought success, and nevei
since the beginning has there been
hi his career even the possibility of
failure.
One has not to look tar for the
scret of Werrenrath's Immediat.
success and swift growth ill the fa
vor of lovers of fine singing. Hi
possesses in an unusual measure
those qualities which a critical pub
lic demands in an artist. The day
has long since passed that a silica
can he voice and nothing else. A
beautiful voice is as rare and won
derful a gift as it ever was. but it
alone can not bring enduring suc
cess. Behind it. so to Bay, in addi
tion to a mastery of the voice's tech
nique, must he a cultured and
trained mind, quick Imagination,
character and lofty ideals.
It is only a few years ago thai Mr.
Werrenrath made bis modest begin
ning, and now it is impossible for
him to meet the demands made on
his time. During the past season of
1920-21 he filled over 100 engage
ments in the eight mouths which
make up the musical season, recitals,
festivals, oratorios, and engagements
with orchestras.
In addition to the recognition re
ceived in America, Mr. Werrenrath's
art also won an instant recognition
from the London critics and his re
citals there will be "fixtures" of the
season.
Werrenrath's art is sane, whole
some and healthy. There is a viril
ity about all that he does which
strikes a responding chord in the
hearts of his hearers. To he tender
without ever lapsing into mawkish
sentimentality, to be forceful with
out ever falling into vulgarity, to be
humorous without ever cloWning, al

most beautiful of the artsin these
qualities Relnald Werrenrath has
few peers among the singers of our
time.
SUCCESS BRINGS
TWO SCHOLARSHIPS
The success of a State College
graduate in New York has won for
his alma mater two scholarships in
New York University. Professor H.
H. Maynard of the department of
business administration has been au
thorized to select two young men ma
joring in that department to receive
scholarships covering their entire ex
penses for a course in the New York
University School for Retailers. This
is a result of the brilliant success of
H. O. Bergdahl, \v. S. c. '21, who
is president of his class, composed
of picked men from all over the
country, in the graduate course in
retailing at the New York University.

Pullman,
That Hood River, Oregon, with
3200 inhabitants, a truck with a
thousand gallon booster pump on it,
and two paid firemen had a reduc
tion of five per cent made upon its
insurance.
That Bend, Oregon, with 326S peo

Ninth: The committee recom
mends that a truck with a 750
gallon booster pump, with power
enough to easily negotiate all our
hills in had weather, be purchased
and that two firemen be employed,
with sleeping quarters in the fire
station. With that arrangement the
committee hopes tb get our base rate
reduced to 45 cents.
Tenth: The committee suggests
that the fire and water committee of
the council be asked to meet with a
committee consisting of three busi

resent the insurance Interests, and
three members of the fire depart
ment, for the consideration of the
most desirable equipment to be se
