The Common School Fund.

The common school fund Of tile
state consists OF the income from the
sale Of school lands and the one-mill
tax. This is distributed among the
districts in proportion To the number
of children Of school age. The amount
OF the common school fund is $3.5
81S and the income from the fund
available for distribution is 1921. 933
The oue-nill tax produces fund OF
one mill on every dollar OF the assessed
valuation Of the state--and this In
1898 was 5000, $40 The amount dis.
tributed among the districts from
both sources that year vas $792. 500
The counties are required TO raise an
equal amount, called the county
school tax, which is distributed among
the several districts in the county
where raised la the same manner as
the state school fund. OF course each
school district pays its proportional
part Of the one-mill tax into the com
mon fund, but the tax is levied on the
valuation Of property as assessed.
Consequently some districts will re-
ceive In the distribution more than
they pay in taxes and some will nav
more than they receive. 10 general
the counties in the south half OF the
state pay more than they receive and
the newer and more sparsely settled
counties in the north half receive
more than they pay. There are some
exceptions to this rule, Douglas, Bay
field, Forest, Florence, Iron, Villas
and Ashland counties, located in the
north part OF the state, pay more than
they receive. The reason that these
counties receive a smaller amount
from the school fund than they pay in
the onemill tax is because there are
in these counties but few children Of
school age,-as for instance, the county
OF Forest reports but $50 children of
school age. There are 30 counties
which pay more into the school fund
by the one-mlll tax than they receive
from the apportionment of the school
moneys, their excess amounting to
$780, 62. Milwaukee county pays the
largest excess, $44,6SS. Forty-une
counties receive more from the appor-
tionment than they pay into the fund,
Marathon being the greatest bene-
ficiary, receiving 81 500 more than it
pays. st. Croix county receives 3d.
03S.73 in excess of what it pays by way
OF the one-mill tax and Pierce county,
81, 920.87.

at takes all kinds of folks to make
a world" many of whom could be
spared to the general advantage.
Good people would not suppose
that there were men living in this
country SO destitute of the ''milk of
human kindness" as to feel and give
expression to delight at the assassi-
nation Of President Mckinley, but
the papers report Instances of such
inhuman monstrosities. One OF
these, fellow living near Madison,
had been an object of charity, re-
ceiving aid from the county to ena-
bic him to exc out a miserable and
worthless existence. When the au-
thorities learned that he had express
ed satisfaction at the Presidents mis-
fortune they stopped his income and
when he demonstrated with the state
ment that he chad got to live" they
heartlessly remarked they "couldn't
see any occasion for it"

Fair Time.

Septem Der is the season of fairs
state fairs, county fairs, city fairs.
Seeds OF vegetation useful for food
are planted in the spring, the spring
ing vegetation is cultivated through
the summer and ripens in the au-
tumn for the harvest. We rejoice In
the product of the soil and place the
first fruits on exhibition. To these
are added the finest specimens Of do
nestle animals, and this display is
augmented by the manufacture who
adds the best work of his handicraft,
This makes an exhibition worthy of
the admiration Of all and is an incen-
tive for greater ambition and enlarg-
ed endeavor. Last week the Mime
sofa State Fair was on and attracted
large crowds. The weather was pro-
pitious and the display was excellent.
A large number of people from here
visited the fair during the week, the
station agent selling AIS tickets for
the fair, of which 1913 were issued
Friday. The Wisconsin State Fair
is held Sept. 9-13; the Northern Wis
consin Fair Sept. 1920, and the Pierce
County Fair Sept. 1920.

feats. / was born with a boys nat

The attempted assassination of
President Mckinley was a most das-
tardly crime, a crime that has caused
intense indignation not only through
out this country but Europe as we'll.
1t was crime against the individu-
al assaulted, against the whole ma
ton whose honored chief he was, a
crime against society as organized in
orderliness. The time and circum-
stance taken advantage of by the as
sassin subjects the criminal to the
seyerest rcprehensibility. 1t was an
act of treachery. The kindly and
courteous gentleman, the first citizen
and chief magistrate of the Repub-
lie, honored and beloved as a father,
IS holding reception, an occasion Of
greeting and congratulation for his
friends, his children, and this mis-
creant, this murderous hypocrite,
Judas-like, assumes the attitude of
a friend, concealing a loaded pistol
in bandaged hand, that he may the
more certainly effect his cowardly
purpose, the murder of one of the
best OF men, man against whom
he could have no just cause ofantag-
onlsm, as citizen or ruler. This hor-
rid crime, the assassination of the
President of the United States, is
crime of such enormity that it
would seem to comprehend all
crimes and proclaim the perpetrator
an enemy If the human race, an out
law. The statutes are inadequate in
view of such an offence. There is
no law that reaches the merits of the
case. Treason is considered the
greatest of crimes, and in its nature
and intention this crime of the at
tempted assassination of the Prcsi-
dent IS essentially treason, and would
be SO considered in some countries.
In England this crime is high trea-
son, but in this country the Consti-
tuition defines and limits treason to
the levying Of war against the gov
eminent, or of adhering to its enc
mics giving them aid and comfort.
Civilized nations are confronted
with a strange problem in this or
gained secret society of anarchists.
1t is essential to the permancnce of
stable conditions in society that the
organization should be suppressed
and these enemies Of good order am
initiated.
