Does II Payi

There is q class Of persons who believe
that money at eight per cent. is worth
more than anything else---an education,
respect of their fellowmen, their in.
fiuence for good, an opportunity to live
q real life, for man can not live by bread
alone. Some save their money for their
children under the mistaken notion that
they can thereby better benefit them.
But riches thus left often take wings.
In fact, the rule is that it does. Very
often 1t is not even appreciated. Is It
not better to give your children good
education and let them fight the battle
OF life as you have done? They will be
stronger and better, and you will be
proud Of their efforts, of their standing,
OF the influence they may attain. In.
stead of resting on you for aid they may
be stay to you in your old age. Riches
may go-an education can not. Riches
will end at the grave, a true education
will extend beyond it. II riches will 20,
the possessor is left helpless. A person
with an education can 60 wherever he
will, East, West, North or South, and
do we'll. An education isindependence.
Whatever your condition, with a little
self'denial you can give your children an
education; and this is in truth OF more
money value to them than what you
might otherwise leave them. An educa.
ton that will yield an income of $500 or
81 900 is equivalent to good farm, be-
sides the social standing attained. Give
your boy or girl good education and
they will have cause to bless you for it.

It will be readily seen from the above
showing Of the yearly expenSss tha
while two settlements are shown to have
been made each year and the time o
settlements being March and September
yet the payments msde at the March
settlement are very largely for work con
tracted for and done during the fall
months Of the previous year. Thus the
last settlement made in March Of the
present year was for work contracted fol
and performed after August, 1889.
1t is in reference to this payment ei
eighteen thousand dollars and upwards
by Republican Board of County Com
missioners that our contemporary, the
Hillsboro Gazette, is 80 much exercised.
Now can any Republican fail to read
between the lines and see that our
Democratic neighbor wants to let go a
farewell shot at the Republican Board Of
County Commissioners which has just
been retired by the election of Dem.
crat to that board? Are we wrong in
charging political animus in this show
ing of our nighbor? If there was not
something of this nature in 1t, why was
the comparison made between the ex.
penditure OF the present year by the
same Republican Board which, by the
way, is the lowest by several thousand
dollars of any OF the expenditures OF the
previous nine years, and not with some
Of the expenses of Democratic Board OF
Commissioners. 1t may be of interest to
the Gazette to show that true Democratic
economy is confined to the manipulation
of figures as they appear in that sheet
and not as they appear in the county
records.
For instance, taking the expenditures
OF this same bridge fund during the
three years just closed in which it was
in the hands of Republicans and the
previous three years when it was under
Democratic management, and what is
the result? The aggregate expenses Of
the bridge fund during three years ol
Democratic administration, namely,
from March, 1884, to March, 1887, was
$126, l68.43, or an average annual expen.
diture of $42, 2,056.14, while the aggregate
amount paid out of the same fund by 9
Republican Board during the years 1887
1888 and 1889, was Ss4.S75. Y, or an aver
age of $2S, S,29l.90, or yearly saving, o.
the neat little sum OF $l3,764 "a, and 6
saving in three years of Republican Eek
travagance our neighbor would call it,
frugality of Sal, ,292.7l. The fair minded
reader can draw his own deductions
and while he is drawing conclusions lei
it not be forgotten that in three years

FE6m the fact that through the COM
ments made by the Hillsboro Gasstte
moie than the usual attention Is being
paid to the current expenses of the
county, and also Of the corporation, IL
seems but just that the News HERALD
should have q word TO cay about the
matter. What we shall say In this issue
Of the NEws.H HERALD is done more in
order to enable the intelligent reader to
form a judgment Of expenditures, par.
ticularly expenditures IN the county ,and
especially In reference to the Bridge
Fund, than by any particular showing
Of figures or by the logic Of words to
show how competent we are of forming
a correct judgment.
The stringency Of the times in refer.
ence to money matters, the re.valuation
OF the lands Of the county taken into &C.
count and the conceded reduction which
is sure to be the result, certainly calls
for rigid economy, and shall we say re-
trenchment? Economy means frugal
expenditure of funds, either public or
private, while retrenchment implies a
reduction Of the existing expenses. Now
in reference to the current expenses Of
bridge building and repairs in this coun.
ty can retrenchment be practiced? This
is question that the County Commits
sioners have entirely under their juris-
diction and subject to their judgment
with but little else to interfere. In order
to aid the Commissioners in the way of
comparison Of the yearly expenses
for some years past, and also to
enable the tax payer to understand
whether his servants, the commissioners,
are faithful to their trust, we give the
tabulated expenses Of this fund for the
past ten years. We have nothing Of
partisan interest in giving this--it is
solely for the benefit of the citizens who
support our institutions by the payment
of taxes. There is no particular feature
to be gained in taking ten years, only
that the present collections and disburse.
ments have been made on the valuation
which has existed for that length of
time. Any shorter period OF years
might be misleading. Taking one or
two years for instance, when floods have
done much damage to bridge abutments,
or when extra expenditures may have
occurred from the construction OF new
road improvements, would be quite likely
to mislead the average reader. 1t has
been on account of this particular one
or two year method of comparison that
we have charged that the Gazette's state
ments in reference to this and other ex.
penditures were misleading.
But to the showing OF round numbers
as it appears on the books in the
Auditors Office in reference to the bridge
fund Of Highland county for the past ten
years, beginning with the March settle
ment, 1880, and ending with the March
settlement, 1890.
