PENINSULA PRESS
The School fund

From the Sussex Journal.
Unless something can be done or un-
less something is done the schools OF
Sussex county are in an awkward con-
dition. financially, to say the least
The long and short OF 1T all is that the
districts which raised less than a hun
drea dollars taxes last year will moi
this year get the dividend apportioned
to each of them by the trustees of the
school fund. unless some extraordinary
measures are taken. either by calling
an extra session OF the Legislature to
amend an imperfect law, or otherwise
The cause OF all this trouble comef
from the law enacted by the last Legis-
lature declaring that no district which
had not raised by taxation, or other
wise. 800 the previous year should be
entitled to the dividend apportioned
by the trustees of the school fund.
Very few OF the districts Of Sussex
county raised $1OO by taxation last
year,in fact nearly all OF them raised
only $50. This being so, the majority
under the law as II reads, are deprived
OF the benefits OF the State appropri-
atiOn That the trainers of the law did
not intend this Is doubtless certain,
but that an injury has been done to
the Sussex schools is just as certain
The law imposes condition on the
Sussex districts which is impossible for
them TO meet. The blame cannot be
be laid on the Sussex districts any
more than a mill can be expected to
grind with the water that is passed.
but the blame lies somewhere, and
that blame should be rightly charged.
To our mind the blame should rest on
the people who sent a lot of numb
sculls TO the Legislature to dominate
that body who neither have the ability
to frame q law nor to know when a law
is properly framed IL can be truth
fully said OF certain gang that domi-
mated the Legislature that the only in
terest they had in and about that body
was to vote for a certain man at Ger
tain roll calls and to work up his inter
ects in the interim. For all this and
more the people. or that portion of the
people who hold the balance of the
power. can thank themselves for the
results Of the works OF the last Legis-
lature. They sent common articles"
to the Legislative mill and they must
put up with common grist in the
way of common, and we might say, hor-
rible and unjust laws.
The State Treasurer would doubtless
like to pay over the dividends to the
respective districts, and would do so
perhaps, In spite of the law, but he
claims his bondsmen would restrain
him by injunction If necessary. This
being so. we would advise him to have
his friends to indemnify his sureties
and let the treasurer pay over the
money TO the districts anyway.
