1t has been claimed by the advocate:
Of the high school that an extra levy
of six cents on the hundred dollars
would pay its cost. Let US examine
into this. The financial statement for
Ironton District for the year ending
June 80, 1898, shows that the expen.
ditures were 1892. This year an ad-
| ditional teacher is employed at 1920.
If the high school project is carried,
even according to the estimate of its
friends and teacher for that depart
ment will add another $3.50. Addition
al janitor's fees, say, 800. Five per
cent. interest on $4,000, $3.50. For the
sinking fund toward payment of bonds.
per annum, 5000. This gives a total
for the year, at very low estimate,
of $3142. If the ordinary levy OF forty
cents on the hundred dollars is neces-
sary to the running of the public
schools as they now are, how is it pos
sible for the extra six-cent levy to
make up the deficit to be caused by
the high school? The assessed valu-
alton of the district is 1926. 600; a six
cent levy will produce about S255-to
offset an increased expenditure of
S1250! 1t will take a 3O-cent levy to
make up the increased cost, without
taking into account the cost of furnish
ing the new room with seats, apparat-
US, etc. Isn't this just a little high
for unnecessary and uncalled for fur
bellows? Be it borne in mind that
once the bonds are voted the school
board is empowered by law to increase
the levy TO eighty cents on the hun
dred dollars, if the expenditures re-
quire 1t-without submitting the in
crease TO the vote of the taxpayers.
Understand US: the ordinary levy for
school purposes is forty cents; this
forty cents may be increased by the
board to eighty cents, without sub
mitting the increase to vote, once
the district is bonded. See Secs. 1861
r. S. 1889. Now, we don't mean TO
intimate that the board would so in
crease the levy unless it became Dec-
essary: the misery is, the necessity
would be almost sure to materialize.
1t is easy for the people to assume the
burden of taxation, but to bear it is
onerous, and to lay it down impossible
except under very arbitrary conditions.
We don't need this high school, and
won't need it so long as the district
schools may be made better and more
efficient. 1t is too costly a toy-vote
it down!

AS your humble servant "Juddy,"

paper last Tuesday, he took stroll to

that he heard was. the station agent

about country Jay" From what
could catch from the story the LAY

er. l will try and give you the story
as near as | can. The ..jay" says to
the station agent, please give me a
round trip ticket to Bismarck. After
receiving his ticket he walked out of
the station with broad smile on his
face, and said to one of the boys that
was standing on the platform, Oh! by
gosh, | have beat the railroad company.
bought round trip ticket to Bis
marck but don't intend to come back,
and then walked off saying, ''that's the
way to do it." From all appearances,
it seems as though this "jay" had new
er seen train before. When the pas
senger train arrived he told the con-
ductor, he (the jay) wanted to go Bis
marck. The conductor told the ''jay"
to get on the cars, but he stood look
ing at the coaches, and said, I'm be
gol darn if get on that thing" The
train pulled out, and the 'sjay" started
up the track with his grip on his back
and looked like he had been stot at
and missed.

grand hop in the near future.
