The large increase in state taxes this
year comes mainly through the one mill
school tax, the change in the method of
assessment to full value forming
the basis of the increase. A bill was
introduced by Senator Whitehead limit
ing the gross amount of this school tax
to $850O00, but the members of the
legislature from the newer portions of
the state, where the common schools are
the only schools. were sufficiently nu-
merous to defeat its passage. Some
fault is found with the distribution of
this fund, but the theory that the proper
ty of the state should educate the
children of the state is the correct one,
and if the older portions Of the state
have more money than children let them
pay for educating the children all the
same, considering tho entire state as one
great big school district. Last year the
state taxes were $1,345.570; this year
