ACCORDING TO the annua! report Of the
Massachusetts Board Of Lunacy, just pub
lished, many OF the insane paupers OF that
State are farmed out at the rate of Sl.75 q
sgeek. As thu people who keep them for
this cheap bosrd don's do so for love, but do
so for profit, tho food and lodgings the poor
lunatics receive must be Of the meanest con
asiVable description, and the amount Of
work gotten out ofthen, as large as possible.
But the Massachusetts South haters howl at
the treatment Of the negro convicts In the

THE SCHOOL LANDS.

THE SCHOOL LANDS.
The Amount which Goes to
the School Fund.
The following correspondence
Is leaks for itself:
CARSON, April 16, 1890.
General J. E. Jones. State Land
Register, SIR:-Will you please
inform me as to the number Of
acres decided to the State by the
United States during the past
year, and what proportion OF the
same goes into the school fund.
And oblige,
S. p. DAVIS, ED. APPEAL.
STATE LAND OFFICE,
CARsoNN Cry, New, April II.
S. p. Davis, Esq, Ed. APPEAL,
SIR:-Replying to yours of yester-
day, there was decided to the State
by the United States, as follows:
ACRES
June 81, 1889. ..... ,219 90
June 81, 1889. ... 1924 81
July l, 1889 ..... 125,S65 81
February s, 1890. $50. 1924 ID
February s, 1890 -. .22O,322 Is
Total $3.50, 800 Is
On at least one-half Of which
contracts have already been signed
and the balance nearing compile
ton as rapidly as my office force
can do it. The interest on above,
which represents the number OF
dollars value, is 6 per cent. per
annum; all of which goes into the
distribution School Fund.
Respectfully,
J. E. JONES.
The above is from an official
source and only tells the story to
date. The officers of the Land Of
fee inform the editor of the AP-
PEAL that inside of two months
they expect 100000 acres more
and inside of two years 100000
acres in addition.
This would reduce the tax for
school purposes to % cents on the
500. The amount of land con-
tracted and paid for since January
LIST will place $4,000 more in the
School fund and of this amount
$500 goes to Ormsby District
No. 1, which is the Carson City
District.
Now, suppose the proposed
school building and Improvements
cost $4,000, the additional
amount of 1880 now going each
year to this District would in
twenty-five years the life of the
bonds) amount to S37 800, or ST.
500 more than necessary. This
only represents the present re-
sources of the fund, with a million
acres more inside of two years,
the additional sum going to the
schools yearly amounting to
$4,000 yearly, would in twenty-five
years amount to S112,500, money
which does not come out of the
pockets of the taxpayers, but out
of the pockets of land buyers.
Reducing the proposition down
as plainly as possible, it is this:
The sum of money received by the
school fund from the State land
sales since January 1, 1890 will re-
duce the school tax to 40 cents on
the 100. III the School house is
built the saving will not reduce
the tax to 40 cents on the 100, but
it will still be less than so cents
on the 100.
School taxes will be naturally
reduced this year by State Land
sales. II the school house is built
they will not be reduced so much,
but School taxes will be still less
than in 1889.
