visions of the Dingley tariff law

School Apportionments.

In reply to our questions CON
cerning the disbursements by the
State authorities of the school
funds, our friend Of the Baton
Rouge Advocate. says:
Editor Sandoz Of the COURIER
is a conscientious man and we
take it that his inquiries are made,
not in spirit of fault finding but
from an honest purpose to obtain
light and correct abuses if any
exis... -
Thanks. The Advocate then
goes to say that the school money
is apportioned, three times a year,
as soon as it aecumulates in the
State treasury; that the year is
not divided into Quarters; that1if
it Were, there would be no money
whatever for distribution in the
4th quarter, and that this system
OF three yearly apportionments
has been in vogue since 1889. We
are under the impression that the
law still requires these apportion-
ments to be made quarterly; that
the first quarter ends March 31st,
the second June both, the third
September 30th, and the fourth
December 31st; and that during
the fourth the heaviest collec-
tions are made. It is true that
during the quarter ending Sept.
80 (the third, we should call IT'D
the collections are comparatively
light, but if the Law requires
quarterly app portionments, why
not make one then, or, at any
rate, why hold back the receipts
of April, May and June, which are
more considerable, uRtiiy Noyem-
ber2 H, notwithstanding the law,
we are to have only three APP
pertionmerts, why not turnover
the. receipts of the second qaurter
(April, May and June) early in
August, and then lump, if there
must be Jumping, The receipts of
the last six months Of fsthe year?
The idea, friend Advocate, is to
get the money out of the State
treasury, where it does no good,
as soon as possible, and into the
local treasures, where it might
earn something by saving interest.
AS to the check for 1887 90 sent
for the appprtonment made Nov.
5 Or the Advocate says it was
mailed Now 8 To the parish treas
urer at Opelousas. As Mr.. La
feur, the treasurer, lives in Eu-
nice, he never received it. Capt.
j. J. Thompson, the acting treas.
urer, was Informed of the Advo-
