BURLINGTON HAWK-EYE.
BORROWING THE SCHOOL FUND.


The law borrowing portion Of the School Fund,
for the purpose Of paying the members and officers
Of the Legislature and State Government, may be
seen in another column. Had we not seen the evil
produced in our sister State of nliois, from the
same action Of her Legislature, we should perhaps
offer no objection to this mode ofsrasing the wind'
But we know that Education has been crippled in
consequence Of its legitimate income being appro-
priated towards paying the expenses of legislators
and State officers in that State. Such diversion
has been given to this fund in our own State may
be fraught with tho same evil consequences. It is
the fear ofthis which makes view such loan as
being of doubtful expcdiency, to say the least of it.
We fear it is but the beginning of system which
will lead our members of the Legislature and State
Officers to look upon the School Fund as their Bank,
from which theycan easilydraw their pay. If the
ton of the Legislature this subject is not suta-
bly, rebuked, twill inevitably lead to this, whenever
the State Treasury is empty. The Legislature will
look upon the absence of rebuke an acquiescence
| in such disposition Of the School Fund, and they
will be cmbodcInd from session to session to draw
their pay from it as they have DONE The pledge Of
the faith ofthe State is species Of "robbing Peter
| to pay Paul" which may may not secure the re-
|
circumstances. A domestic loan of this kind is al
ways the last to be paid, and from the Auditors Re-
polt we were in hopes there would be necessity
| of making it. The coincidence seems somewhat
remarkable that the Legislature should have contn-
ued in session just long enough to absorb this $751;,
400. We presume calculations were made show
ing them that they could sit forty three days with
perfect impunity-that there was money enough to
| pay them for that period-although the business
transacted by them did not require session of more
| than twenty days.
We are glad to that one Of the democratic ed
itors in the State looks upon this subject we do.
The others seem to think the Legislature could do
no wrong. At least infer this from their silence.
The editor Of the "Keokuk Dspatch'' has, however,
spoken ssright out in meeting'' and commend him
for it, although he may be mathematical by his loco
foco contemporaries for so doing. We have mslaid
his paper containing the article alluded to, other
| wise we should have published it.

reading matter" Strange a. it may be
thought. the reverse is true. Less read.

sheets, could be afforded bu. for this fs.
source. In limited and sParsely settled
districts, a subscription list sufficient TO
sustain a sheet that would contain the

scarce be obtained. Instead Of crowding
out other matter, advertisements enable
the publisher to increase it. The business
man who benefits the publisher and him
self by advertising literally through To-
cal press, also actually benefits the general
reader. not merely by acquainting him
with his location. his business, and the in.
ducemen,s he proposes to offer. but by en-
abling the publisher TO furnish larger
amount Of reading matter than could other.
