V. niKISTKNSKN. Carbon County Superintrmlnit of KcbooU. A romOT to the effect that the Carbon county schools will probqbly, be compelled to close about the first of the, year has: gaintid rather wide circulation during the past 'week: To allay the anxiety of parents and pupils, and to stop, if possiUe, the further spread of this rumor, may I say that if such probability exists the board of education and others connected with the management of the schools know nothing of it. The school calendar adopted by the board calls for a full term or school The budget adopted by the board contemplates considerable reduction in the. amount of revenue for the current year but this anticipated decrease has been absorbed through salary cuts, reduction in the number of teachers and other economies. At the present time there is nothing in the outlook to justify the belief that this program cannot be carried out as planned. In the meantime, 5000 boys and girls in Carbon county are profitably and happily engaged in school work. I believe they are justified in looking forward to a full years work, secure in the belief that no matter what the future months may hold in the way of further public economies, these economies, if necessary, will not be made at their expense.

The origin, organization and object of the National Chamber of Commerce was discussed at a meeting of the local board of director and business men Tuesday noon by H. W.

The national organization of the chamber of commerce original 1 during the administration of President Howard Taft.

The nntional body row works with subordinate organizations in practically every town and sit-- in he country. Its functio i i. chiefly the promotion of business and assistance in governmental affairs. This coming year the organization plans to work for. a 25 per cent redaction in the cost of the federal government. This reduction will be accomplished by abolition of unimportant and expensive bureaus and consolidation of work. Two examples of governmental extravagance was cited by the speaker. He pointed out the operation of rural mail delivery in discussing the postoffiee deficit. Thirty years ago it was figured that a team could travel 30 miles a day. The salary of the carrier was set at $3100. This has never been changed, yet an automobile ean make the route in approximately two hours. Conditions such ns this should be changed, the routes consolidated and expense cut down. In discussing unimportant bureaus and investigations, he cited an instance where $15,000 was spent by a committee to investigate whieh part of a bed sheet wore out first. When the report was returned it declared that the part most used was the port first worn. In onswer to the question of unemployment caused by a reduction.
