The existing system of appropriating
the money raised by the school tax
puts premium on fraud The
census takers are paid so much name
and thus an induoement is offered to
find as many names as possible.
The tax fund is apportioned on the
number of children of school age
shown in the census. This induces
School Boards to look with leniency
on swollen census returns. They, too,
are benefciaries of the census takers
fraudulent return.
There is "a bill now pending in the
Legislature that provides for appor-
tionlng the funds raised blythe school
tax according to the attendance in
the schools. This will eliminate
fraud. 1t will offer inducements to
school officials to get as many chill
dren into the schools as is possible,
and will be fair apportionment. AS
it is now, counties, where children are
plenty and schools scarce and small,
draw more from the school tax than
they are entitled to. The smaller the
attendance the greater the profit

Two communications from Andrew
Carnegie tell of the steel kings re-
tirement from active business life and
of his donation of $5O00,000 for the
endowment of a fund for superannu-
ated and disabled employees of the
Carnegie company. This benefaction
is by far the largest of the many
created by Mr.. Carnegie and is prob
ably without a parallel anywhere in
the world. This fund will in nowise
interfere with the continuance of the
savings fund established by the COM
pany Is years ago for the benefit of its
employees. In this latter fund nearly
100000 of the employees savings
are on deposit, on which the company
by contract, pays 6 per cent and loans
money to the workmen to build their
homes,

TO Reduce Guardsmen's Pay.
The Senate this week finally passed
Senator Haines' bill reducing the pay
of National Guardsmen of the State.
The bill provides that the privates
shall receive $3.50. per day while in
camp at Sea Girt, but that when in
actual service their pay shall be the
same as in the regular army, about
$l5 per month. 1t is doubtful whether
the bill will pass the House as SINH

the nomination of one candidate for JUS
tice Of the State Supreme Court and two
candidates for regents of the State I'm.
iversity, to be voted for in April is a
reminder of the little politics that will
disturb the country this year and especi-
ally this Spring. The Michigan election
is the only one of State character that
will occur in 1901 before November,
and as it is for non-partisan officials it
will arouse but little interest and no ex-
element.

everyone willing and anxious to con-
tribute to the limit Of his means and
a good round sum has already been
pledged. The other members OF the
committee who have other sections to
cover have also been at work and are
meeting with equally good success.
