SCHOOL DISTRICT ELECTION.

An Election for three District School
Trustees for this District will be held at the
School House, to-day. Saturday, at 3
O'Clock p. NJ. We trust our citizens will by
the number of their votes, show that they
take more than mere passive interest in the
cause OF Public School Education in our
midst. 1t is of great importance that per-
sons Of suitable qualifications, and those
who are willing TO devote a proper degree
of attention to the duties Of the Office, should
I'LL these positions. 1t is to be hoped the
election may not be suffered to 90 by default.
All legally qualified voters residing in
Grass Valley Township are entitled to vote
at this election.

TAXING INDIANS.

A proposition Of some considerable i'm
portance has been introduced into the Leg
islature by Senator Crittenden Of Rldorado,
as an amendment to the Revenue Eill. The
proposition Is to lay a nominal tax on the
Indians residing within the limits Of the
State, so that they may be enumerated 10
the next census II is thought that their
enumeration will give us an additional Rep
resentative in the next Congress. This tax
may be levied and the Indians thus enume-
rated by provision in Article l, Section 2
Of the Constitution Of the United States
This provision of the Constitution is also
substantially engrafted into the census law.
The proposition as introduced reads as fol-
lows:
Each and every male Indian over q
years of age, shall pay 4 poll tax OF fifty
cents, and the money arising from the poll
tax upon Indians shall be paid into the
Treasury Of the County where such Indians
reside or such tax is collected, and shall
constitute fund which shall be used and
appropriated by the Board Of Supervisors
Of the County for the care, management and
prote of intirm and INDECENT Indians
and for no other purpose whatsoever"
