the burden Of the poor house filed with
the poor from the city?
The wise and practical men who
founded cur commonwealth and made
our territorial laws took the above
view, and made no distinction between
the city and the rest OF the county IN
distributing school taxes, and their do
ings would never have been changed in
the constitutional convention had all It's
members known the legal significance
of the word maintain used In cOnnec-
ton with provisions Of the constitution
relating to city schools, and the obiec-
tionable amendment would never have
been a necessity
The very foundation Of our public
school system is the generous and no
BILE object OF giving all--both rich and
poor--the benefits OF an equal educa-
ton. II is the great eveler, and Is
justified In the argument that all the
citizens Of republic schOuld be edu-
Gated for the welfare ~ the republic
Intelligence Is more easily and cheaply
controlled thap ignorance, and If the
rich individual should enjoy no special
advantage In these matters, neither
should rich community. II Salt Lake
City can levy, collect, and expend with
In Itself lts own school taxes why can
not wealthy ward within II do the
same and thus escape the burden OF
assisting a poorer wardp The same
argument carried a step futher-to the
individual wealthy man--is seen at once
10 be absolutely incomnatable with any
form Of government whatever.
In view Of these reasons and condt-
tions II seems to me II is no unjust
burden upon Salt Lake city 70 give TO
the county schools the portion they
now receive of the school tax II pays,
unless all forms Of taxation are unjust
There IL no reason why the country
boy should not become as good a citi-
zen as the city boy. The welfare Of
the state depends no more upon the one
than upon the other and therefore they
both should have equal opportunity to
become the best OF citizens.
