towns and cities for school purposes. -
There ia no limit fixed to this tax, other than
that 1t must be enough in connection with
the funds received by the district from the
annual apportionment, to support the schools
for the length of time required by law. See
18th clause of section II of the former, and
l4th clause of section 16 of the present law,
being the same 10 both cases.
III has been suggested from various quar-
ters that the Legislature should pass an act
iegalizing the proceedings and elections of
school districts, where any doubt exists as
to their validity. With due Difference to
those who entertain such an opinion, must
say that do not see the necessity of such
legislation, nor do believe that the Legisla-
ture possesses the constitutional authority to
pass such act. The courts have decided that
the Legislature cannot oonstitutionally enact
Law providing for the election and defining
the duties of school officers, and hence ii is
reasonable to infer that it could not pass an
act legalizing the election OF such officers.

may be permitted to add one or two remarks.
We are very much pleased to hear that the

Such being the fact, 1t is matter of wonder
that the rich and powerful Keokuk and st.

the Fannie. A boat with cabin on il would
be rather more comfortable for passeng ers,
