smaller cities. But if it does, it
must be remembered that because
of that large population the bur
dens are greater in proportion.
The fines and license fund
is not created by the state and
rightfully belongs to the locality
that produces it. If a district
in Douglas county last year re-
ceived 1910. 80 more money than
a district in Custer county re-
ceived it was not of state money.
We are not from Missouri, but we
will have to be shown before we
can accept the statement of the
Beacon that Douglas county
districts receives more money
from the state alone every year
than Is per cent. of the districts
OF Custer county can possibly
raise from all sources" Douglas
county can only receive an
amount equal to its school popu-
lation, the same as Custer,
Blaine, Loup, and all other
counties. 1t is true Douglas re-
celves more of the common
school fund than Custer because
of the greater school population.
1t is also true that Custer receives
more money from the state than
either Blain or Loup counties for
the same reason. The pretension
of the Beacon that Mr.. Tooley
could have law passed compell-
ing Douglas county to share
equal with Custer, when she has
ten children to one in Custer is
nonsense. Such law would not
only be unjust but not within
possibility as the Beacon editor
well knows. Suppose the state
money was divided equally among
the counties of the state regard
less of the population, what
would Mcpherson county with
her eight school districts and 12O
pupils do with her share of the
money? The contention for such
a division is not only preposter-
Gus, bnt a down right deception
for the sole purpose of ipfiuenc-
ing those who do not think for
themselves.

DemagOgry in Politics .

we nave Deen pleased with the
disappearance of demagors to a
certain extent in Custer county
the past few years. With the
uprising of popism it was the
common custom for the leaders of
that move to advocate all kinds
of vageries and practice decep-
ton to influence the unwary.
But that custom has to a great
extent become unpopular and such
tactics has not been so frequently
resorted to as formerly. But here
is reproduction of part of an
article that appeared in the
Custer County Beacon that is
well calculated to mis-lead and
can,in our opinion be nothing
more nor less than an intended
deception. The Beacon says:
C'iNNi Cbi PiNSSlll luClHOll OI dDDOTt-
ioning the state school funds every dis
| trict in Douglas county last year received
from this fund 1916. 80 more than did the
| districts of Custer couny with a like
number of children In other words. a
district in Douglas County last year with
80, received from the state S3I6, 20 more
than district in Custer county with 40
children. The country districts of
Douglas county receive more money from
the state alone every year than rs per
cent OF the districts of Custer county can
possibly raise from all sources, including
their state apportionment and levy of
the limit OF rs mills on the dollar. Mr..
Iooley proposes an amendment to the
law that will place every district in the
state upon an equal footing in the dis
trlbution of this fund whether they
happen to be located in Douglas or in
Custer county. An equality i'll the dis
trlbution OF this fund upon lines proposed
by Mr.. Iooley means at least another
month OF school i'll every district in the
county to be paid for by the increased
receipts from the state funds and to which
they are justly entitled"
1t is a matter of law that the
common school fund of the state
shall semi annually be certified
by the state treasurer to the
state superintendent who shall
apportion it to the several
counties of the state prorated on
the school population of the
several counties of the state, and
that the auditor shall upon the
certificate of the state snperin-
tendent issue warrant in favor
OF the several counties for the
amount of the common school
fund due. The county superin-
tendent on receipt of notifica-
ton OF the amount apportioned
to his county proceeds to appor-
ton it to the several district of
his county, as the law provides,
by first adding to the state fund
all money received by the county
treasurer, of his respective
county on account of fines and
licenses. OF that amount he
takes one-fourth and divides
equally between the several dis
tricts of the county. The re-
naming a topro rated according
to enumeration of the scholars
last returned from the several
districts. The law makes no ex-
ceptions. A school district in
Custer county with 80 scholars
gets its pro rate share on the
same basis as school district in
Douglas county. Douglas coun-
ty with its population of $40, 500,
doubtless receives a much larger
sum from fines and licenses, ow-
ing to the city of Omaha being
in the county than counties with
