so great advantage to the
state. As it is now not one
cent of revenue in the way
of taxation is realized from
it and the records Of this
county show that the amount
which is sold to the state
each year is increasing. This
that the taxes must
be increased on other pro-
perty in order to meet the
deficit caused by the sale of
this land to the state. Now,
if an individual or a corpora
tior will propose to take
this land, 100000 acres of it,
and place it back on the tax
books at from one to two
dollars per acre, and also
place in the state railroad
property worth az least four
million dollars, we do not
see why any member of the
legislature should hesitate to-
vote for the bill. The taxes
alone on the railroad in one
year which the company
proposes to build, would be
worth more than all the
land.
This is not the end of the
benefits, A new railroad
built through the state as
this ore is proposed, would
be a means of developing
millions of dollars worth Of
resources which willlncrease
in value year after year.
This is too plain to require
argument.
In this whole matter con-
sidered from every business
stand point, the state has
nothing to lose but millions
to gain.

The Normal.

The county normal will
open next NJ onday under the
instruction of Prof. |. K.
Hooper. There should be
at least sixty teachers en-
rolled in this school the
first day. 1t is really hoped
that this opportunity will
be so highly appreciated by
the teachers that they will
not fail to meet the full de-
mands of the state on this
important move to improve
our public schools.
Whether or not the nor
mails are all that might be
expected rests largely with
teachers, The law can pre-
scribe their duties on this
line and denounce penalties
against those who fail to
meet these duties, yet it is
the truth that tie teachers
who only attends these
normals from fear of the
penalty is rot worthy to be
trusted with the high duty
Of training citizens for the
state. He is a slave, a
teacher for revenue only,
and should not seek to
place himself in the most
important position offered
to him by the state.
If our boys and girls take
a high stand as future citi-
zens, no one deserves more
honor for this than our com.
mon school teachers. This
should stimulate the teacher

offer this to every one free
