The PILL THAT WILL.
County High School.

1t is a common saying that when
thieves fall out honest people gel
their just dues. Now we do not say
that the high school BOARD Of trustees
OF the county high school were thieves.
But we do say this, that it was
a good thing for the taxpayers Of Sum-
uer county that the trustees ADD
school board could not agree.
We do not want it understood that
we are opposed TO education; far FROM
it. Our common schools are good
thing, paid for by taxation, by taxing
the well-to-dO and the rich to school
the poor. But TO tax the fairly we'll
TODD to school the well-to-do and the
rich, we are opposed TO.
We understand that some school
districts would send four or five pu-
pills to a county high school, and while
that might be the case, there are
other districts that would send none.
Why tax one for the benefit Of the
other.
Take for instance two young men Of
the same ability, one wishes an edu-
cation (above common school educa-
tiOnl for the purpose of teaching or
going into business OF some kind, the
other prefers trade. Would you tax
the parents Of both to educate the oues
thus taxing one parent TO educate an
others son, which would compel him
to certain extent TO neglect his own
sons interest.
If this county high school was such
grand thing for Sumner county, why
did we not hear of it during the last
campaign. Perhaps it Yves not as good
thing for the county as for the
county seat. We heard a Wellington
man say in arguing for said higa
school that it would save Wellingt0G
thousands Of dollars. Now If Well
lington would save thousands of dol
lars, who would have those thousands
Of dollars TO pay; with other thousands
added to them. The taxpayers Of
Sumner county, very few Of whom
would ever see inside high school
building.
We are in favor Of general reforms
And while we are opposed to taxing
the many Of this nation for the bene'
ft Of the few, we are just as bitterly
opposed to taxing the majority in q
county for the benefit Of few of it:
