is filled with censures Of the
American army's conduct in the
Philippines. The remainder is
chiefly devoted to denunciation
of the policy of protection to
home industries. Reciprocity is
described as humbug and worse
than protection.
The head and front of the
ariny's offending, from the view
point Of the democratic authors
OF this book, evidently is that it
put down lawlessness and restor-
ed peace and order in the islands.
The democratic substitute for
this policy is, of course, that we
shall leave the islands at once
and permit their people to resume
those throat-cutting diversions
which we so cruelty interrupted.
Because, while the American
people have prospered under the
protective policy as never before
in their history, trusts have also
flourished, these democratic lea
ders would abolish protection out
of hand and substitute for it abb
solute free trade.
Free trade" they observe,
would open our markets to ben
eft our own country" Free
trade is their remedy for trusts
and all the ills they ascribe to
protection. Free trade with all
the world is the goal they set for
the nation and to which they
promise the democratic party
will lead.
The American people have had,
however, considerable experience
of the democratic policies of free
trade and free riot, and do not
care for anym ore. Inter Ocean.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

AS you ought to know, person.
al taxes are due October 1st of
each year, and are delinquent
and subject to distress warrant
being issued Feb. 1st of each
year following. Land tax is due
Oct. 1st, deliquent May LIST, aud
advertised Oct. 1st, and sold to

Nov. 1st after date of becoming

ingly. The law says you shall
appear at the treasurer's Office
and pay your taxes, and if you
do not, the county treasurer shall
collect personal taxes by distress
warrant after the above dates.

wants to pay their taxes without

take this means of notifying
everyone through the press. Do

lily decreed that after the state
superintendent had made an
equal distribution of the funds to
the several counties that the
county superintendent should set
apart one-fourth of that amount
and divide it equally between the
districts regardless of the amount
due them on the prorata basis.
1t was not with the view of
equalizing but of fostering the
weak districts that each county
was made to share in the promo
tion of its own schools.
Should the law be changed as
Mr.. Tooley suggests by having
the state superintendent appor-
tion one-fourth of the school
fund to each of the school dis
tricts of the state, the amount
received by Custer county, say So
600, instead of the a being divid-
ed into $50 parts would be divided
by the number of school districts
in state and would be less than it is
now. To illustrate, we will say
for convenience that Custer coun-
ty has 200 school districts and is
entitled to $4,000 of the appor-
tionment on the prora ia basis.
One-fourth of that is So,
Divide the $4,000 equally be-
tween the 200 districts and each
receives $40 and So, 900 would re-
main to divide equally between
the districts on the prorato basis.
Mr.. Tooley's plan would have
the state superintendent take a
of the $4,000 which would be
50, 600 and divide it equally be-
tween all the districts of the
state. If there are 5000 school
districts it would amount to 40
cents to each district in Custer
county, instead of SO as under
the present law, from the "a due
from the state fund. AS there
are more counties with smaller
school population than Custer
than there are with a larger, we
doubt seriously whether the
amount from the other counties
of the state would give us as
much of the fund as we now get.
Every county now gets exactly
the same based on her school
population. Omaha NAV
have grounds to complain
against the rural districts of
Douglas county but the rural
counties have no grounds of COM
plant. We still insist that the
scheme is preposterous and while
Mr.. Tooley may have been hon
est in his misconceived notion
it is deceptive nevertheless
as many of the unwary believed
in it.

The voters of Custer county
need have no fears but what
either Mr.. Copsey or Mr.. Wald-
ron, if elected to the Legislature,
will do all that is possible for
them to do for Custer county,
whether it be school interests or
any other. Mr.. Copsey has
spent years in teaching school
and has been a member of a
school board most of the time
since he has been a resident of
the county, and being conversant
with the law and its practical
workings, is competent to sug-
gest any possible improvements.
They are both successful farmers
and stock raisers, which especial
lily qualities them to represent
this district. We have no desire
to say word against Mr.. East
man and Mr.. Tooley as we re-
gard them as good citizens and
worthy of respect. But Mr..
Eastman tried it two terms in
the Legislature and did not &C.
complish anything great, wher
he had the majority with him
and was turned down two years
ago in the county convention
Could he be expected to do more
with the majority against himi
Mr.. Tooley has just completed
four years in public service and
was turned down by his own
party because they thought he
had been supported by the public
long enough. Is his ability sc
much greater than either of the
republican candidates that he
should be favored? A vote fol-
Copsey and Waldron will be well
placed and no cause to regret il
in the future.

Perhaps no quality is more

In making the effort to present
fairly complete series of studies
of the leaders in our American
business world, the editors of the
Cosmopolitan believed that they
would be rendering a distinct
service to the general public.
Every effort has been made not
only disinterested writer's, but at
the same time to have the work
done by men of large experience,
who would be capable of under
standing difficulties surmounted
and appreciating results accom-.
plished. Certainly no serial ever
presented in the Cosmopolitan
has been so widely read by the
general public. Before the con.
clusion it is intended to cover the
industrial world-those who
direct in manufactures, commerce
banking, insurance, publishing,
transportation-all the pursuits
in which organizing talent ha:
been required to achieve presen
development. In the Septembe
issue an insight into the career
of John w. Gates, Charles r
Flint, Sir Hiram Mixim, H. H
Rogers, John Arbuckle and other
is presented.

j. J ToOley's Reply.

Broken Bow, Nebr., September
10, 1902.-EDIToR REPUBLICAN:
i have read your editorial under
the head, "Demogogery in
Politics" in which you critlcise
somewhat severely the PROPOSE
ton relative to the apportionment
of the state school funds present.
ed in the Beacon two weeks ago.
Having furnished the data upon
which the Beacon article was
based and knowing that you de-
sire to be fair in the matter / beg
t he indulgence of space sufficient
to give the official figures relative
to the same. 1t is not in any
sense political question hence
/ can see no improperly in pre-
senting these facts and figures in
the REPUBLICAN.
Reducing all funds received
from fines and licenses the ap-
portionment in Douglas countylast
year from the state funds alone
was as follows:
Amount apportioned each dis
trict from the one-fourth share in
December. ......... .$143 70
June. ............... 1873 90
Total for the year. 1882 90
Not deducting anything for
fines and licenses the apportion-
ment in Custer county for the
same period was as follows:
! Amount apportioned each dis
trict from the one-fourth share in
December. ...........$ 7 IS
| Total for the year. $40 40
| Under the law the three-fourths
is prorated and it would be the
some in each county, viz 60 cents
in December 1901 and "a cents in
June 1902. Thus it will be seen
that a district in Douglas county
last year with thirty children
drew from the state funds 1916, 71
while district in Custer county
with the same number of children
drew $60.50 making a net differ
ence in favor of the former of
lust $316.24. | want to go on
record with the statement that
not Is per cent of the country
districts of our county can pos
sibly raise $376.73 a year from all
sources, including state appor-
tionment and levy of IS mills.
My remedy in brief is this: Let
the State Superintendent make
the apportionment of the one
fourth share as we'll as the three
fourths. For illustration let us
suppose there is to be distributed
at any time 100000 among the
schools of the state. Enable him
| by amendment to the present law
to take one-fourth of the total
amount or 500, 900 and divide il
| by the number of school districts
in the state entitled to share. II
there were 5000 districts each
would receive $50 from the one
fourth share whether it happened
to be located in Douglas county
or Logan or any other county.
| Let the other three-fourths be
distributed as at PRESENT, so much
for each child of school age.
While some may consider the
idea preposterous l believe that
children who through no fault OF
their own happened to be born
out here on these western prairies
are entitled to the same consider

States. The race-problem is not
one which can be left to settle
itself, and every thinking man or
woman should read this valuable
contribution to discussion
whose importance will increase
-ather than decrease in the years
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1902-09-11

Mr.. Tooley, from the forego-
ing article, seems to think that
because Douglas county has been
fortunate in building of a large
school population that she
should be compelled to share her
state apportionment with Custer
and other less fortunate counties
of the state. 1t is the socialistic
idea of compelling the rich to
distribute their accumulations
equally with the rest of mankind,
however profligate.
The school law very Justly pro-
vides that the common school
fund shall be prorated equally
among the children of school age
in the state, the apportionment
being made to the several coun-
ties of the state. The county
having 100 children receives the
same numberIof cents per pupil
as the county having 10000.
The law, as we before stated,
provides that each county sup
erinteudent shall take one-fourth
of the amount apportioned his
county and divide equally be-
tween the several districts of the
county. The remainder is APP
portioned on the per capita basis,
The counties with but few dis
tricts and a large school popula-
ton of course receives larger
sum from the one-fourth amount
than would county with a large
number of districts, although it
had the same number of scholars.
1t is fact that in Douglas coun.
| ty, of which Omaha is a part,
and which has her schools all
under one management, that the
districts are few compared with
her large school population. Be-
cause of this fact the one-fourth
or the amount apportioned &c
Douglas county gives the rural
districts almuch larger amount
of money than a school district
in Custer county. But his rem
edy will not accomplish the enc
sought, and would not be just il
it would.
| His proposition to have state
superintendent take one-fourtf
of the common school fund an(
divide equally would not equal
ize the apportionment as nearly
as is done now. The one-fourtl
basis does not now make an equa
distribution to the number o.
pupils to the district. With the
exception of Omaha and Lincoln
the inequality is so small that i
does not materially effect.
| The only strictly equitable
method that the common schoo
fund can be distributed is to pro
rate it on the school population
of each school district. Thi:
would give the district with 10(
pupils the same per scholar "a
the district with 10000 pupils
In order to help out the weak
districts the Legislature arbitrar
