NO STATE TAX THIS YEAR

For the first time in the history Of
the state no tax for the support or
maintenance Of the state government
or any Of the state institutions, will be
evied.this year. The condition of the
state treasury il such that all charges
against it for the purposes Of the al
ministration of the government are
amply provided for by the money on
hand. There was in the General Fund
on the lat day Of October 81 80, 70l. O6
Bv reason Of this fact the governor
secretary Of state, and state treasurer,
by authority Of law, have been enabled
to wipe out the state tax and relieve the
people Of the state from its burden.
From this it follows that the only tax
TO be levied generally upon the people
Of the state il that which If solely for
the benefit Of the common schools.
Seven tenths Of u mill on the state
valuation is directed by the statute TO
be levied after reducing therefrOm
$500, 600 Of the license moneys received
by the state from the railroads. This
tax to be paid by the people amounts
to the sum Of Sl,027 22O 1t is true
that in form it might be called II state
tax in fact, it IL not so. 1t pertains in
no way to the expense Of administering
the state government or any of its
Institutions 1t includes no part of the
large appropriations TO the state uni
verHity and the normal schools nor Of
the 300, 600 coming TO the free high
schools, nor the $50 900 to be paid to
the graded schools under appropriation
Of the last legislature. 1t il collected
but solely Tor the support, maintenance,
and efficiency Of common school system
Of the state. No part Of it il TO be ex
pended for any other purpose. 1t is
collected for the benefit OF the schools
and turned over TO the different counties
Of the state to be distributed by them.
Tho appropriations to the state uniyer-
zity, the normal schools. free high
schools, graded schools, and all Of the
institutions made by the last legislature
are provided for and discharged by
moneys now on hand, or to come to the
treasury from other sources than
the people this year
Besides this, not only the sum collec-
ted by this tax is paid over to the differ
ent counties for the support Of the
common schools but the counties will

IN more than one building in New
England devoted to the uses Of wOm-

touches and easy chairs. It has care
fully shaded windows; and the sign:
Members are asked to be as quiet as
possible" secures comparative silence.
In the east these rooms seem to be
chiefly for the use Of members Of some
organization. But several western
towns have tried successfully the plan OF
having rest rooms for farmers and their
families. Driving into town from the
prairie farms, women and children are
grateful enough for "a good wash and

Of such a room. 1t may have various
other features. There may be a table
supplied with books and papers to short

a corner where the lunch box can be
conveniently opened, and perhaps a ma
tron to supply a cup Of tea or coffee as
a welcome supplement TO the cold meal.
Parcels may be checked, and thread and
needles are furnished for the mending of
a chance rent. In short, the farmers
