SHOULD RAILROADS EScAPE2

Attorney General Post advises all
counties to accept the compromise of
fered by the railroads for 1901 taxes.
THE STAR hopes those counties that
have brought suit-Ouray, M5ntrose
and Delta-will push the, thing to n
finish. This business of accepting
compromises from corporations OH taxes
should be stopped, as it is an outrage
upon other taxpayers. If the railroads
get a rebates-the compromise is the
same as a rsbate-theh every taxpayer
in the state should receive the same
rebate in proportion to his valuation.
What is sauce for the goose should be
for the gaildet,n y and If the revenue law
is all right for one man to pay taxes
under it should apply alike to all.
The attorney general argues that the
counties and state will have to refund
money paid in taxes by the railroads if
the counties now suing lose. If this is
true the question arises, why does it
not apply TO the individual as well as
the corporations? Why should corpo-
ratiorls be allowed to compromise their
taxes and the individual forced to pay
In full? Are railroads taxed under a
provision that gives them the privilege
Of paying or compromising as they may
choose2
There Is something most horribly
rotten with the whole business and the |
proposition to accept compromise
from the railroads and make others pay
is the most pntrid part of it.
The tax laws of this. state are and
have been of the most disgraeeftii and |
unjust kind. The burden has been |
thrown upon the small taxpayor.. and |
She big fellow allowed to escape. When |
no other means of escape has been Of |
sered the railroads they have rendered |
a compromise and through pure
cowardiee il has been accepted. But
lat the little fellow offer compromise
on the same basis and what is the re-
suit? He is laughed al, called n fool |
and forced to pay or have his property
sold for the taxes. 1t is claimed that
this cannot be done with the railroads..
IL such Is the case where il the Justice
in the matter? Why is there law
that permits the county treasurer to
sell the property of an individual for
taxes and prohibits his selling that
part of araiipoad in his county for the
same purpose2 Is there any equality
or fairness i'm such Il law? Has this
government been changed and mace

such as banking, manufacturing and

embodied in the various phases Of work
known Ms the Sunday School, the Mis-
.ssonaty Society, and 50 ohf social ideas
.e1nbodied in the family; political ideas,
taking form in the various types Of
government; md educational ideas
which are manifested III Che schools,
colleges, universities, the press and var
ious other forms. It is very important
to remember in this connection that all
the physical manifestations we see
about us ere the offspring Of ideas. The
great wais. that have convulsed the

answer to this as to all other questions
touching our welfare IL found in the
one word-frccdom. Nothing is done
anywhere that does not involve this
supreme purpose rs All end.
Digging to the root of education we
find that 1t means leading out of, or
from. 1t is aptly defined rs the gene
ration of power, and also ss cultured
growth. Its province is to prepare for
complete living. 1t does not mean the
coming of SO many pages in a book, or
the memorizing of many formulae and
rules, but it means the natural, orderly
and harmonious development of all the
faculties of the mind and the training
of these in such way rs to make their
owner happy and useful.
That we may fully understand how
to achieve the results we have set be-
fore us we must know the nature of
mind and the laws ofits operation. As
to what mind is IN the absolute we
know nothing more than we do of
matter, and we know nothing of
either.
We study mind as We study matter,
by means of Its activities, or phenomc-
ma.
In general sense mind is u unit
with a trinity of powers. These three
powers are the intellect or the power
to know, the sensibilities, or the power
to feel such emotions as pity. joy, etc,
and the will, or the power to choose
and execute.
The mind comes in contact with the |
external world-the world OF Sight, |
sound, and so OH, through the media |
Of the five senses, viz: seeing, feeling,
hearing, tasting and smelling. 1t is
quite likely that every mental act has
its beginning in one Of the senses, so |
that the proper training and culture of
these should occupy Il conspicuous and
place in the teachers mind |
and the course of study, as they Are the
gatherers of the mind. 1
Since all knowledge flows to the mind |
IHlDupH lHt selSeS tTe OTuer ana man |
ner of their unfolding must he known
before they can receive that "ciltured
growth" of which we have spoken.
All correct teaching must begin with
sense perception and must I've hi the
that, Is to say the teaching
must begin with things and not with
mere distractions.
Words and figures, for example, are
symbols for ideas, and unless the idea
S taught in connection with the SYM
Dol the process is NOT teaching, but |
mere saying over Of things in the man
1er of parrot, for it must be kept in
mind that the teaching process has for
It's aim the development Of the powers Of
the mind so that ultimately their owner
may be strong and self-relihht. Fdf
lowing the culture OF sense perception,
in natural order, are the imagination,
abstraction, generalization,
Judgment and teason.
