THE SCHOOL FUND.
The Disastrous Results of Threatened
Republican Legislation Affecting It
Bounties Before Education.

The Disastrous Results of Threatened
Republican Legislation Affecting It
Bounties Before Education.
To the Editor of The EVENING DISPATCH:
Provo, March 8.-Much has been
said of late concerning the effect that
would be produced on the present rate
of taxation il the proposition to trans
fer a part of the territorial school tax
into the general tax fund should lie
enacted into law by the present legis-
lature.
For the past two years we have paid
an annual 3-mill territorial school tax,
from which our Utah county schools
have received approximately $50, 1000
each year. The proposed measure does
not mean to release either one mill or
two mills, but to shift part to the
general fund presumably to pay
bounties). 1t can be seen that a trans
fer Of one mill would deprive the
schools of $4,000, and two mills,
(which Councillor Taylor recommends
of $24, 900. In either event we would
be compelled to submit to one of two
hardships; namely: III double or treble
the county school tax (or district as the
case may be-; or ~ close our school
doors part of the year. l am not
prepared to say which the people
would choose at present.
1t has been suggested that the
schools be run on a more economical
basis. Teachers are not PAID eXorbi-
tant salaries, far from it. Neither are
there more teachers than the school
population demands. In fact the
number is wholly inadequate. The
average for each teacher last year was
seventy pupils.
Probably three fourths of the schools
must now close before the end of the
year. Some have already sucCumbed
on account of financial embarrassment.

Rev. DIR. J. C. Hiden filed his pulpit
at Grove-avenue Baptist church Sunday,
after a two weeks visit to North Caro-
lima. At the morning service one was
received for baptism. At the evening
service DIR. Hiden preached on the CON
version Of Zaccheus. from the text The
SON of Man Is Come TO Seek and TO Save
that which was Lost" He pointed out that
Zaccheus was changed from prospective
plunderer 10 an honest and liberal man.
This kind Of conversion meant business
and was the kind that was needed these
DAVIS. He said that there were many
people IN Richmond who had cause TO
thank God for a number CT people as a
means through which they were con-
yerted when Mr.. Moody was In Rich
mond Many went to the great taber-
nacle simply because they wanted to see
what sort of celebrity the great evan
eelist was. and that this very motive
had been used I'm many case TO prlhs
about conversion.
After the service one was received FOR
baptisrn and two others baptized.

Every Blessing" After prayer the Rev.
DR.. J. E. Hutson. Of the Pine Street Bap-

eloquent address. He spoke Of the time
when as a boy. he cheered the brave men
who. full of vigor. and in the bloom or
youth, left their homes and marched forth
TO battle: how they braved the dangers
Of the tented field how they bore priva-
ton and suffered hardships as true SOL
diers. and now. how, in the decline of
life with silvered locks and feeble frame,
they were standing on the margin of the
grave. We owed them a debt Of lasting
gratitude said the speaker, for the suf-
fering they had endured for our sakes.
After the exercises were over Major
Norman V. Randolph, president of the
institution. whose zeal in the interest
of the home never lags, and the worthy
superintendent, Colonel Charles + Bigger
escorted the ladies over the grounds Of the
institution and showed in every manner
their appreciation Of their generous gift
TO the home. As the crowd was leaving
the hospital the ladies SANG In the sweet
