THEY WILL GET NO PAY.
Treasurer Hickman Declines to Honor
Claims for Mileage Of the
Legislators.
The Same Objections Apply Equal
II to the Per Diem Of
Members.
Letter from Secretary Proctor Regarding
Ccssion Of Lands-Doings Of the
House and the Rumps.

Unless some member OF the present leeis-
lature goes TO court and gets a decision in
his favor, senators. representatives and
Sumps alike arc liablb to 90 without any
pay for the sixty days work they are expect
ed to put in this year. state Treasurer
Hickman has declined to honor the claims
for mileage presented to him. These run
ali the way from about $3.50 to nearly
$1,000, according to distance. The grounds
for his refusal apply equally to the claims
for per diem pay, when they shall be- pre-
sented. They are that the first legislature
neglected to provide by law for the COM
pensation OF its successor, and that the Sec
ond or no other assembly has the right to
fix its own pay. The constitution Of the
state provides in section 5 Of article 5 AZ
follows: .Each member of the First legis-
lative assembly, AZ a compensation TO : his
services, shall receive 10 for each days at
tendance, and 20 cents for each mile neces-
sarily travelled" Further it provides that
'safter the frat session the compensation Of
the members OF the legislative as
sembly shall be as prescribed by
law: provided that no legislative
assembly shall fix its own compensation"
BY swearing in the members of the rurmp
house on the FIRST day OF the session the re-
pubiicans established the fact that the
present gathering is 4 new legislature, and
not a continuation Of the old one. Being .
new. legislature there is no law on the stat
utebooks to pay its members, m they are
prohibited from fixing their own compensa-
ton. The best they can do, 1t is said, Is to
wait for some subsequent Legislature to pass
a bill giving them their pay. Treasurer
Hickman wanted some senator or repre-
sentative to bring n test case in the court
30 a. to establish his position or overturn
it. but no one seems to care to do 80 at
pensation OF employees it is thought the
clerks can be paid without any trouble.

The Use of the Sch ools,

A crank who lives in New York has
been making a disturbance because
the daughters of rich parents attend
the Normal College in that city. He
appears to desire that it shall be con-
sidered a charitable Institution. whose
benefits shall accrue only to the very
Door, although of course he doesn't
say so. That he is put of accord with
the sentiment Of the American people
concerning free schools is not remark
able, because he is a crank, but as
there are Others not irreclaimable who
share a part of his delusion about free
schools. it NAV be worth while to say
q work here.
In the first place, it may be well
enough to dispose of the only argu-
ment which bears upon the case of
the Normal College particularly. 1t

our editorial of last Monday, on dual
taxation. the state Gazette says
The JERSEY CRY NEvs derides the Gazette's
proposition that IL would not bs ineqnitable tax

pay tax on t.: the holder or a $4,000 note,
Representing q loan to the former, to pay tax on

ties hold to be the only just form OF taxation.
should be applied to this cas-. The owner OF
the factory would pay tax on his income from
that: the holder Of the not on his income from
that and so Of the holder Of the mortgage
1t is strange that a man of average
intelligence should blunder in this
fashion. Does the editor OF the State
Gazette imagine that under an income
tax system the proprietor of the fac
tory would pay tax on the gross rental
Of the building, and that afterwards
the holders OF the note and the mort
gage would pay tax on their share of
that rental? Or, to change the
p~hraseology does he pretend to think
that the proprietor would pay taxes
on the interest money before he hands
it over to his creditors, and they
would pay taxes on it Immediately
after Really he ought to think a
little before committing himselfto such
monstrous propositions. Under the
income tax system the proprietor
would pay tax simply on such portion
of the net rental as would be his
personal share. After the lienors got
got theirs, they would, of course,
pay taxes on their shares.
The State Gazette very justly states
the ground of taxation thus
A tax i levied to defray the expenses OF the
government for protecting your property and
your life. It gives as much protection to the
note and TO the mortgage as to the factory. It's
court houses are open to enforce the owners
property rights. For this it pays its judges,
sherifs, constables.
OF course; but when the really
valuable thing-in the case under dis
cussion, the factory-pays its taxes,
these cover not only protection for it,
but also for everything pertaining to it,
including evidences Of title. The
bond and mortgage are entitled to
protection on account OF the tax the
factory pays, because they are evid-
ences of an interest in the building.
1t would be as absurd to tar the title
deeds as to tax the bond and mortgage
on the ground Of the protection fur
nished. Neither document has any
value of its own to be taxed. They
are both appurtenances of the prop
erty. The only real value in the
whole affair is that of the factory, and
it is the factory's value and not a
mere documentary evidence of inter-
est in it that the State levies on.

But the Normal College and many
similar institutions exist. and it would
be folly to run them on half time-so

do so. Their parents pay the bills in

subversive of the spirit of democracy.
