THE SCHOOL LEVY.

The letter from Superintendent LEWIS
which we peblish this morning, IN rela-
ton to those provisions OF the Constr
tuition and the School Law that require
the assent OF the voters Of the townships
to the levy made by the Board Of Educa-
ton, is worthy of general attention.
The Interpretation that Mr.. LEWIS places
upon these clauses is the one that has
generally obtained throughout the State,
though we believe that the Hampshire
county Board to whom the letter is ad-
dressed is not the only one that has had
some doubt upon the subject. 1t GER
tainly cannot have been the intention
of the trainers Of the Constitution and
of the Legislature that adopted the
school law, that special election
should be held in each township to
determine what the school levy should
be, because the Board Of Education
NAV be compelled to make the levy even
though every voter in the township
should cast his ballot against it. But
there stands the Constitutional clause
requiring the authority OF the people
and the law requiring the specific "as-
sent of the voters" to an act which the
members of the Board dare not refuse
nor omit to do.
1t is, however, somewhat against Mr..
LEWIS view OF the case that the Consti-
tuition contains no similar restriction
upon other representative and tax-levy-
ing bodies. The Board Of Supervisors
is representative body and ,levies the
county tax, but the Constitution does
not specify in this case that it shall be
done "by the authority Of the people
thereof" In like manner, the Legls-
lature is required Ito provide for an an
nual tax sufficient to defray the ex-
penses OF the State" but we nowhere
find that "the authority of the people
thereof isexpressly and specifically re-
quired, as 1t is in the case of township
levies for school purposes. The view
taken by Mr.. LEWIS is, however, the
only one by which the efficiency of the
schoo system can be maintained, and
the Boards OF Education will be justified
in following the advice he gives. The
Convention to be held Eext year should,
and doubtless will alter the phraseology
ofthe clause in question, so as to relieve
it of all ambiguity.

Convention Of iS5O-5I.

Editors of the Register:
In your paper of the 23d instant, after
copying the piece from the Parkersburg
Gazette in relation to the members OF
the Constitutional Convention Of 1901,
it is stated "that from the list is omitted
the name Of Hon. Thomas Sweeney, OF
Ohio county" This is an error. Mr..
Sweeney was not a member OF that
Convention, nor were the members
elected by counties, but from districts
formed for the purpose. The district
of which the county OF Ohio constituted
a part was composed OF the counties of
Brooke, Ohio, Hancock and Marshall
and was represented by Jefferson 7.
Martin, Zachariah Jacob, John Knote
and Thomas NJ. Gally. But the name
of James E. Stewart, OF Morgan, is
omitted from the published list. |
believe that all the officers OF the Con
vention, except Hon. John y. Mason,
President, are living, to wit: Stephen
D. White, Clerk; Isaac S. Samuels,
now residing in Boone county Of this
State, Sergeant-at-Arms; David Fisher,
first door-keeper Samuel II. Jeter,
second door-keeper, who together with
printer and two pages, constituted all
the officers OF the body which was COM
posed of l35 members and which it
will be well for the next Convention to
bear in mind, as, in estimating the ex-
penses of the next Convention, in adj
dition to the foregoing officers an assist
ant clerk and two additional pages were
contemplated. The officers named
were altogether sufficient for that body
and l presume ought to be all that will
be needed in the Convention Of next
winter to be composed Of IS members
only. Isuggest that the people demand
curtailment Of expenses, and the Con-
vention will do well to make good
start in that direction in its organization.
| have the Journal before me so that |
cannot be mistaken in my statement in
relation to the Convention. The mem
bers within the limits of this State that
have since died are William Seymore,
of Hardy county, Charles Blue and
Thomas Sloan, of Hampshire, Thomas
Bland, OF Lewis, William Smith, OF
Greenbrer, George w. Summers, Of
Kanawha, John F. Snodgrass, of Wood,
Zachariah Jacob and Thomas NJ. Gally,
of Ohio-9. The districts were not
uniform as to the number Of members.
Some had as many as six, and some as
few as two, but most Of them had four
members. / understand that but three
of the members of the Convention Of
1929, which was composed of 96 mem
bers, four from each Senatorial District,
are living, to wit: Fleming Bowyer
Miller, Of Botetourt county; General
Samuel Mcdowell Moore, Of Rock
bridge county, (the name Of the other
survivor l have forgotten.) Mr.. Miller
was also member of the Convention
OF 1851 and 1861, and is in the en-
joyment OF good health and possessed
OF his full mental powers.

As AN evidence OF the manner In
which the people are taxed under
Radical rule, the New Orleans Picayrrnc
declares that "the holders of property in
New Orleans now pay, in Federal, State
and municipal taxes, more than ten pei
cent. of the total assessed value of all
personal and real property within the
limits OF the parish OF Orleans. Ac'
cording to. the judgment and deliberate
opinion of business men, not only the
people of this city and Louisiana, but
the people Of the entire South, are now
paying out, in the shape OF taxes, more
than the actua! income upon their pro
perty and industry. We are working
merely for our subsistence. our victuals
and our clothes; all our profits arr
absorbed in taxes"

has been or may hereafter be taken in

has been or may hereafter be taken in
the townships on this subject.
The movement referred 10 by you is
not confined to the county Of Hamp.
shire. Several other counties are NOV
ing in the same direction. The ques-
ton heretofore has been as to the
validity of a levy made without first
taking the vote OF the people of the
several townships. This, as | under
stand, is the question pending IN the
Federal and State Courts. But 1t 10
proposed now to take new departure
to forestall the action of the township
Boards of Education by a vote of the
people, ordered and conducted by those
not charged with the execution of the
school law, but by those alien, if not
hostile to our system of free schools,
and at an unusual time. Should they
in this way obtain a majority adverse
to the levy and the Boards Of Education
should not thereby be deferred from
making a levy, the question will then
be presented to the courts as to the
validity of levy made after vote
of the township, and majority Of that
vote is adverse to such levy. And in
this way, too, those unfriendly to free
school system may hope to obtain an
expression of popular sentiment against
it. l do not know that such are the
views and purposes of those moving in
this matter in the COUNTY of Hamp-
shire. In view of all that has come
under my observation on this subject
and after the most mature reflection, L
am inclined to believe that the true
policy of the friends of popular educa-
ton is-without regard to when, where,
or by whom such vote may be ordered
to meet the issue boldly and by an
active, vigorous canvass exhibit at the
polls their full strength. This can be
done without recognizing the authority
under which the vote is taken or its
binding obligation on the Boards OF
Education, in their action on the sub
iect, should the vote be adverse to the
levy. Until the questions involved
shall be definitely settled by the decis-
ions Of the higher judicial tribunals Of
the country, the policy indicated is
recommended the more confidently, be,
cause no efficient system of free schools
can be maintained without the sanction
of public opinion; and observation and
all history illustrate that the cause OF
popular education has much to gain and
nothing to suffer from investigation and
discussion. Very respectfully,
C. S. LEWIS, Genl Supt.

Der of circuit judges diminished and
their salary increased; three chsncery
courts and three criminal courts in the

MeSsrs. Editors:
We see by your paper of yesterday
that a meeting Of stockholders OF the
Wheeling Library Association will be
held on Monday evening next, for the
election ofdirectors for the ensuing year
This is a very important affair-far
more significant than many think, and
it is to be hoped all interested will look
to the interests OF the Association
Every stakeholder should see that the
business of the Association is done on
the square at the annual election and
during the year We want no more
one man p0,Oer. No stakeholder should
place his vote in the hands of interested
parties. We hope to see a full turn out,
and trust a judicious nominating COM
mittee will be appointed, in order that a
different style OF election from that Of
last year may be held,
