during the World war.
the Slate Highway Commission has
over the roads in the State. They also
wunt this provision written into the
Constitution for the. reason that if it
Is in the Constitution, it will be vir
tually impossible to change the plan,
even though it should not turn out
as satisfactory to the general public,
since it much more difficult to get the
popl to chang th Constitution than it
is to get a general assembly to change
a law. With this provision once in the
Constitution, and with the school
forces once given a majority on the
board of seven, the school people
could give the public the horse laugh,
boost school expenditures and taxes
to the skies and the public generally
would be powerless to do anything
about it. And that is evidently what
Is desired.
Ever since it* creation, the State
Board of Equalization has been a the
flesh of the school forces, and for two
reasons. In the first place, becatlae it
was set up to act as a check upon
the expenditures of the school super
intendents and school forces generally,
and second because It wounded the
pride df the school people because it
was composed almost entirely of busi
ness men, instead of scholastic men
with their academic degress.

either, until Germany resumes repa
t rations payments.
The advisory committee' made this
abundantly clear, and the old world
press energetically rubbel the Idea In
immediately afterward.
In itself. *he advisory committee's
report catHcd no surprise in congres
sional circles.
! Some surprise is expressed, how
j ever, at the extraordinary crust of
i the hanker-members of tbc body in
kstiadoadtsg their . findkigs within
half a dozen hours after the United
■ States senate’s vote ratifying the
Hoover moratorium.
The withholding of the document
! until the lawmaker; wer irrevocably
on record is spoken of as very readily
undeivtamiable; it is agreed that its
release while debate stilt was pro
gressing might conceivably have pre
vented the debt-suspension plan’s ap
proval. despite all the pains taken to
insure its indotsemeut.
What critics of the committee do
uninadvert upon in hurt tones is the
advisory group’s contemptuous disre
gard of American public opinion in is
suing its statement as soon after sen
; atorial action which, it will be re
-1 called. Included a congressional de-
I duration directly opposing any fur
ther concessions to Uncle Sam’s Eu
ropean debtors.
Since further concessions are pre- ■
ciscly what the advisory committee itv
i sists on, its reports Is quite lnterpre
-1 ted, in fact, us as answer to con-;
gress’ form of moratorium ratifica
tion, virtually notifying Uncle Samuel
where he “gets off.’
It is problematical just how genu
i inely the Europeun wartime allies
themselves believe In the proposition!
which many diplamtic conversations i
have indicated that they would like ,
to have Americans accept.
- The theory which they have persis
j tently advanced is that they furnished
! the men and America the money
| (money only, until near the conflict’s
; end) to defeat Germany; therefore
* that the United States should not ex
pect to be repaid.
