The appetite for appropriations, says
the Philadelphia Record, is Unsuitable
Like a tiger's taste for blood, once graft
fled it can never after be appeased
When the state had such a full treasury
that there was no legitimate use for the
money the true policy would have been
To remit taxation. Instead OF doing
this, the Legislature increased the ap-
prOpriatian for common schools. The
constitution provides for a yearly ap
preparation of one million dollars. For
the past two school years the actual ap-
preparation has been -, SOC, 900 Now
that there is a shortage of funds in the
state treasury, lack of money for some
very essential purposes, and sharp re-
duction in other ordinary expenditure,
the proper course of action would seem
to be to cut down the excessive amount
handed over to the schools. Whether
the money for the schools shall be paid
directly by the taxpayers to the local
treasures, or paid indirectly and round
about by the hand of the state, seems
not to be a matter of much consequence.
In either case the money comes Crigi
naIly from the same source. But the
proposition TO cut down the school ap-
preparation, although regarded favorably
by the state authorities, has met with
the tiercest opposition. Having had a
taste of treasury subsidy, the local school
directories cling to it with desperation
Apparently there is not courage enough
in the body of the Legislature to reduce
the appropriation to such sum as the
state may Justly spare. The school ap-
preparation is likely to remain at its
maximum amount, and other objects of
state care must suffer or some new
source of revenue be found to make
good the resulting deficit.
The change effected in the method of
supporting the public schools is not a
healthy one. 1t is one of the most val
liable conditions of the home rule that
those who fill the purse shall keep CON
troll of the strings. State aid is likely to
lead to unw!se school management, and
coupled with the new policy of compul-
sion, the doors are to be thrown open to
political favoritism and uncurbed extrav-
agance.
