GLOYD, By carrier, ahr constitutional amendment to be voted upon at the ap- lection. It is known as “Amendment of Section Sixteen, Art- on of the State of Washington,” and proposes to ex- domain to the taking of private property by the 1 and settlement. he legislature a land settlement bill was passed, and ‘under it a board was authorized to acquire land for development and _ settlement practically along the same lines as such work is being done in Australia and California. The people of California seem to be quite enthusiastic over the plan and-they have two settlements, one at Durham and the other at Delhi, both of which, it is claimed, are flourishing. The first essential for a land settlement scheme !s the | acquisition by the state of a suitable body of land. To jacquire such a tract is not an easy proposition. There are jalways some who own property to be included in an enter- prise who will seek to take advantage of the state's neces- |sities and will do so unless the power exists in a commission to condemn their land and pay for it a fair price, In Washington last year the question was asked several , times by representatives in congress whether or not the western states would acquire large bodies of arid land if the federal government would put up the money for its |reclamation, the land so acquired to be used principally for |soldier settlement. The West should be willing to meet the government half way. There are several of the western states that would be only too glad to join the federal gov- ernment in broad projects of land settlement. If such schemes are to be carried out, the power of eminent domain ;must be extended so that private property may be taken jby the state. There can be no question but that taking a jlarge body of unproductive land, which cannot be made productive without the artificial use of water, would be the | taking of private property for a public use. Prize Sucker Bait Errer since the Ponzi episode there has been a flood of advertising | oy various firms dealing in foreign exchange, mort of them picturing the prospect of fabulous profite for these purchasing options on European moneys. German marks are apparently the favorite—probably | because they are about the furthest from par, and, therefore, would make the highest percentage of gain if they reached par. A typical example is the advertinement of a Detroit firm, seeking Investors in sixmonth options on marks. Like all euch ads it first ries to tmprens the prospective investor with the idea that Germany is fast recovering her former economie and industrial postion, and that a large appreciation in the value of her money Is, therefore, probable, This idea presented, the advertisement then relates the enormous Profits to be made by hoklers of options should marks go to par or close to par, The big “catch” tm the game ts the fact that onty stxmonth options are sold. Foreign exchange will advance in value, certainly, but very slowly, thru the operation of numerous economic, social, industrial and commercial agencies, Any rapid apprectation In «ix months ts admitted |by good bankers to be out of the question, And, if it wasn't out of | the question, you coukin’t buy such an ption for love or money. Getrich-quick swindlers would catch few suckers if the latter would only stop to think that no one ever has to go out and beg for and solicit Investments In any scheme that offers even a reasonably fair chance for abnormal profita, An Accurate Index The statistics of education show that In the year 1990 only 9,120 teachers were employed in the high schools of the United States Today high school teachers number more than #1,000. The difference between 9,120 and $1,000 high echool teachers, graphically measures America's material and spiritual expansion ¢uring the past generalica, The figures are an accurate index of the prospertty that te Mfting more and more families to that state of middle-class well-being wherein the labor of the child is not required for the support of the family. ‘These figures indicate, too, a fast-growing appreciation on the part of | parents of the value of education and recails the vanishing type of | old-fashioned father who liked to say: “What was good enough for me | is good enough for my children.” But, above all else, the statistics reflect the democrati¢ trend ef etu- cational methods and programs in America It doenn’t take an old man to remember the time when high schools | were regarded largely as institutions for children of the welltodo. And, indeed, high school courses had restrictive and aristocratic tendencies. Their mission, largely, was to prepare a limited number of boys and girls to pass college entrance examinations, Today the newest high schools are great workshope where hand and mind are being trained simultansousty. Their tools are machines as well as books. The machine sbop instructor and the dresumaking teacher rank with the teacher of Greek and Latin. Small wonder the number of high school teachers has tncreased 800 per cent in a generation—and still there are not enough of them Homely Girls A girl reader writes the editor about the “pretty gtrt contest” and wants to know when there's going to be a contest for “homely giris.” “The pretty girls,” says she, “have the bent of everything, get all the sweethearts, have all the good times, and we homely girls just get left all around. Please have a homely girl contest.” What in the world is one to do about this? Can ft be pomfble that there ate enouth homely girls in this city to make a contest even mildly exciting? The oldest residents assert this city has long been noted for its shortage of homely gira. Some of the very best judges of feminine beauty my white blackbirds are more frequently met with than homely girls in this city. Surely the girl who wrote that letter must be kidding the editor! She would have him start @ contest and then find no homely giris to contest with each other for the prize Altho she signs hernelf “A Homely Girl,” the chances are bright that you could not get one of her acquaintances to admit that “A Homely Giri” is homely. It ten't often that this newspaper refuses the request of one of itx readers, and lexe-frequently does it refuse a girl reader, But this is an exception. This newspaper isn’t going to start a hunt for homely giris in a city where it knows there are no homely gi Mra, Tom Thum¥s clothing was auctioned.
