The tilsh school Question.

The question Of a county high school,
which will be submitted to the electors
of Elbert county at the regular election
in November, is one in which all our cit
izens should beinterested. The location
of high school at any suitable point in
the county would be a great advantage
in more ways than one. 1t would afford
to all young men and womep of Elbert
county an opportunity to secure high
school education free of charge, and also
keep them at OF near home where par
ents would be enabled to look after their
welfare and have an opportunity to learn
Just what they we're doing. And how
much better satisfied will mother or
father feel who knows just what company
his or her child is associated with and
how they are spending their evenings.
The feeling is growing of late years
among the people all over our country to
locate all educational institutions as far
as possible from the temptations and al
lurements of our great cities; and why
should not the people OF our county keep
pace with this idea and establish in their
midst an institution where their children
can be educated without being com
PEELED to leave home at the very time
when they need the most careful watch
ing?
This institution would be sustained by
a tax levy on all taxable property in the
county. This levy would be made by
the county commissioners and would be
very light, SO that it would probably not
increase the taxes more than La on the
present levy, or about 51y00 on every sl4
taxes now being paid. The school would
be under the supervision of board of
trustees, chosen from the members of
school boards of the county, and they
would be vested with the same powers
as a school board in a district OF the
first class. An institution Of this kind
would be a great financial help, as it
would retain at home a considerable sum
Of money that is being spent each year
by persons attending such institutions
outside OF our county. 1t would also be
an inducement to home-seekers to locate
in our county.
Supt. Ball of Douglas county, one of
the leading superintendcnts Of the state,
says Of the high school in their county:
sour school has been success from the
start and is constantly growing in favor
with the districts in the remote parts of
the county. Our last years graduates
were admitted to the freshmen class of
Colorado college without examination.
and we are accredited with the Denver
university and other institutions in the
state. The necessary expense calls for
tax levy Of les than one mill

The publisher of a newspaper has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent. Can
anyone inform us why he should be ex-
pected to give away one or the other? He
can, il he chooses, and be does as a mat
ter of fact, furnish great deal Of space
rent free. But it does not follow that
he ought to be expected to do so. 1t
ought to be recognized as contribution,
exactly as would be the giving away OF
coffee and sugar by grocer. But strange
to say, it is not looked upon in that light
at all; and yet everybody knows that the
existence of newspaper depends upon
the rental of its space and the sale of
the paper, Just as merchants success
depends on selling his goods instead of
giving them away.
The Elbert County tribune., 1902-10-23

For more than century the several
states of our magnificent Union have been
supported by the generalproperty system
of taxation. We all admit there have
been errors, iniquities and inequalities.
These should be rectified with patriotic
ardor by the respective Legislatures, as
rapidly as public sentiment will allow
Abuses of any system are liable to beget
fanatics who seek to destroy, as well as
statesmen who seek to reform. For the
first time in the history of the nation the
people are confronted with a radical
proposition to abolish our present system
of taxation and substitute another the
(Buclxlin) Australasian system whose
virtues are only guessed at by its advo-
Gates, who are distinguished for being
impractical, theoretical, enthusiastic
and visionary. The solid, substantial
element of our people are not to forsake
the beaten path which has served them
well, for this idol of economic zealots.
