THE SCHOOL DEFICIENCY.

Gov. Moses evidently made a
bad guess when he said that the
school deficiency would not be over
100000. Mr.. GIIson, reports the
money due On account Of schools at
not less than $1,000 Some Of
the papers want to know why the
poll tax is not collected. The an
swcr is that the majority Of that tax
IS payable by people wEo pay no
other tax. Consequently there IS
no way to ge, at them.
Four-ffths of the amount received
from poll taxes is paid by those who
have it added to their real estate
tax. In this county it ought to
produce at least $4,000; it does
produce less than $2.50e. It will
not pay to collect 1t from dclm-
qucnts.
The tax oughsto be abolished or
else the payment Of it ought to be
a condition precedent to the right
to vote.
When We learn the true theory
of laying taxes We will put the
whole tax on real estate, upon a
proper basis Of valuation. The
whole tax can then be collected and
the burden will fall with exact
equality on every person in the
community. For no man, woman
or child can escape it. Either di-
rtctly, as I owner, or indirectly, as
a renter, the tax will be paid.
We venture the assertion that q
poll tax has never been generally
collected in any state and never
will be until men afe patriotic
enough to like to pay that which
they cannot be forced to pay.

Innocent.

Senator Patterson was arrested by
Deputy Marshal Hendricks by virtue of
a warrant issued by Trial Justice Kirk.
The Senate refused TO confirm Kirk as
Trial Justice and he was snuffed out, while
Hendricks was at once discharged from
his position by Marshal Wallace. Now,
Patterson, on Monday last, surr2nders
himself to Trial Justice Richmond,
grand high cockleorum of the |. O. L.
B. lie is tried and found innocent. 1t
is only necessary to catch the villains who
made ahidavits against Patterson and
send them to prison to complete the
picture Of virtue triumphant.

Fence or 10 Fence.

The abolition of the fence law, reQuir-
ing owners of cattle to fence them in,
instead of all other people to fence them
out is now agitated. We are in favor of
the abolition of the fence law, but we
want it if universal application and to
continue in force for at least twenty years
after It's passage. Farmers should not
be made subject to exr eriments in this
matter by our easily excited legislature.

The News recently treated US to
two columns of denial that anything
but the purest motives actuated it
in its course during the late cam
pa;gn, The story would do for
the marines, but on dry land, it is
too thin But the fact that such
an article was deemed necessary
shows that there is screw loose

peared several articles showing a
desire to get back into the ranks Of
the conservatives.
