A Financial Item.

The Washington Press thus sensi.
bly, shows up . little matter which
interests all tax-pAyers
At the last term Of the Circuit Court
the cost Of the jury, which the county
has to pay, was $5Os.9O. The judg-
nents rendered on their verdicts
aggregated Sis. Under the statute
the county gets back s. In each case
ofjury trial where the parties are good
for the costs. As there we're last term,
Ave jury trials, the county gets back
$50 Of the S50S.9O, leaving . bill oil
$47S.9O which the county has to pay
In order to afford the parties going to
law . chance to secure Judgments Ia
the sum Of Sis. It 10 hard to see how
such financiering helps the county
Manifestly, the law ought to be sc
changed IS to allow the taxing up Of
the cost Of the jury with the cost o
the suit, and make the parties dancing
In litigation pay the hddlers. VIII,
should the county foot these bills
The practice stimulates litigation OF
frivolous pretexts, whereas the lega
change suggested would tend to cheek
It; persons would try to compromis,
their differences aud not rush hot
headed into law suits, every time the,
get their backs up. We hope tina
every one Of the fifty gentlemen, NOR,
or less, who expect to go to the legis
lature next winter, will spend th,
summer and fall In drafting bill GOV
ering the points sketched above.
We adopt and call especial attention
to the closing sentence.

The New School Law.

The following admirable summary
made by the Fontanelle Register, OF
the new school laws, will be found in
strucuye to those who care not to
wade through the weary tautology Of
legal routine, and yet desire to know
the salient points Of the new code. 1t
is worth preserving for reference:
The Co. school tax may be increas-
ed by the Board Of Supervisors to three
millson the dollar an increase Of pow
er to levy one-half mill. Heretofore the
1 tax had been limited to fifteen dollars
| per pupil for teachers fund this has
been so amended that the directors are
| authorized to levy tax not exceeding
S270 for teachers fund, and SIS for
contingent fund for each sub-district.
The contingent fund can hereafter be
used for the purchase Of maps. charts,
and the like, but no debt shall be in
CURED for the purchase OF such arti-
cles. In school districts over three
hundred strong the polls must be kept
open from 9 A. NJ. till 4 p. NJ; In
others, as the sovereigns may, to suit
their own honest purposes, decide.
All contracts for building school hous-
es exceeding in cost, when completed
in every way, $500, and all repairs ex-
ceeding that amount Of cost, shall be
let only after the same have been ad-
vertised for four weeks in a county
paper-a failure thus to advertise for
proposals having the effect to vitiate
all contracts made contrary to this
statute. School orders will draw not
over four per cent. Any civil town
ship may become an independent dis
trict by the majority vote o. the peo-
pie thereof. Independent districts
having population Of five hundred
will elect six directors any district
having q less population, three direct
ors-president and treasurer to be cleo.
ted by the board. A failure on the
part Of an Independent district to pub
lish annually q statement of the re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the past
year, will subject each director to a
nne OF ten dollars for dereliction OF
duty. No sub-district shall be formed
Until it contains fifteen pupils, though
the school board has power to rent q
. room and employ a teacher where
I'VE pupils are congregated. Physiol-
ogy Is added to the branches that must
be taught in common schools. The
duties and compensation Of county So
remain AS heretofore.

Several questions were before the
meeting that excited warm discussion.
The resolution to appeal to the farmers
oranges for aid met with considerable
opposition, one delegate declaring that

who never did days work in their
lives. 1t was finally determined to fix

A resolution favoring the free import
OF railway iron was referred to the
Committee on Transportation.
An excited discussion arose over 9

At q regular meeting Of the Atalissa

Ats regular meeting Of the Atalissa
Grange No. 80, =. Of H., the following
highly sensible resolutions were unan
imously adopted:
l. Resolved, That we duly appreci.
ate the great advantages of well rsgu-
lated railroads as common carriers.
and think railroad companies should
realize fair dividends on their actual
stock when economically managed
but they, like all other common car.
riers. should be regulated by just laws
to protect the people from oppressive
charges.
g. Resolved, That our railroads. after
having received large appropriation
from the General Government, and
from the people, have become engines
OF oppression, taking the lions
share" Of the hard earning OF labor to
build up immense private fortunes,
while the people have no laws that
protect them in their rights.
.. Resotped, That we will demand
OF our next Legislature laws taxing
the property Of oil corporate bodies In
the exact ratio IS the property Of in
dividuals. according to the Cons,i.u-
ton OF the State OF Iowa and 10 40
regulate railroad charges that thew
may be equitable and uniform.
4. Resotued. That our candidates for
the next Legislature, executive and
Judicial officers, must not only have q
clear record In the past, but must be
like 'Casar's WIFE," above suspicion
must not have monied interest In rail-
road companies and must emphati-
cally refuse to be under obligations to
them for free passes or other favors.
8. Resolved, That those persons who
are the most clamorous for office are
not by any means the most suitable,
and we would prefer the office seeking
the man rather than the man the
Office.
8. Resolved, That we think 1t mex.
pedient to form . special party, and
can better gain our object by attending
the primary meetings Of our present
parties and see that suitable ndidstes
are put IN nomination for office.
Attest, II. A. WATTERs,
Secretary.

John Leonard comes to the front very
candidly in the Post Of last week
Leonard SAYS | made misstatements
about the action OF the Board Of
Supervisors in relation to the bridge
contracts. He says / charge that
the change in his bid was made in
his absence. He says it was not
changed after he left, giving us to
infer il was changed before he left.
He does not deny that his bid was
changed by adding postscript after
he had submitted it to the Board,
and after he knew what the other
bids were. Now the only reason l
thought he might not have written
the postscript was ] thought he could
spell his name twice alike, and ! still
think the postscript was not written
the same day the bid was, for Mr..
Leonards communication (if he
wrote it, makes one think he might
spell his name right twice in the
same day. He objects that in 6gur-
ing how much the county was swim

too many perch Of stone. That is to
say, for illustration, that l accused
him very wrongfully for stealing
sheep because l said there were six
when he only stole FIVE. How would
such an argument clear q man Of
stealing?
Mr.. Leonard thinks / slandered
him by stating that some member Of
the Board was partial to him. ! do

at his own expense. From what | |

county, admitted = change from

with some one will he tell me how
it is he got pay for work not finished
and how it is he can still get work
when some Of his sbutments have
cracked from top to bottom in two or
three places.
He says he has doubts about me
being much Of bridgeman. Now
if he wants to test that ] will agree
to have two competent masons APP
pointed to examine our work and let
their report be published in both
Upton papers at the expense Of the
one whose work is poorest. II he is
not satisfied with this let him quit

p. S.-Leonard intimates that
resolution passed the Board solely on
nv account, forbidding the payment
# any money on bridges until con-
racts should be completed. This
