"Since our schools lcquire one half our taxes, the committee respectfully ubmiti for discussion that the great increase in the cost of education In Nebraska lias been contemporaneous with a decreased educational effi ciency. The greater the amount spent, the poorer seems the product turned out. Too many graduates turned out desp'sing the hard work, frugality and economy of their par ents from which nil success has pn.d, must come. "The committee will propose rpocif ic amendment'' to our laws to carry out the views of the Taxpayer' league, but generally speaking the changes proposed by the league are: "Return to the old style high school curriculum without the expensive side lines which have a tendency to weaken rather than strengthen mental development.

"The casing nt this well is now be ing pulled, and ta oui great amaze ment (though we have suspected the facts for some time) we find oil lias tood in the well, and, as shown on casing now pulled out, we had from lliOO to 2000 feet of oil standing in the well :.t some time or other, and gas is still there in such force and quantities that it blows the water even now wlien being ug'tated by the pulling of the casing, a .d by stand ing directly over the well you get plenty of odor of gas. As perhap. you know, water will drown out gas unless there is a great amount of it, and undoubtedly there must have, been a great f tcc to have lasted all the.c years. I w'll not attempt to say what amount of oil there might have been in this well, but without doubt there win u big strike that was shut off by mud and water and casing. The oil had force enough to break through tlio mud rtnd water.
