The SCHOOL Per CAPITA
Fixed al $780,. Increase Of 2S
Cents Over 1902.
AVAILABLE FUND 81, 947, 1858.

Frankfort, KY, July 15.-The
per capita for the school year, de.
olared by State Superintendent Il
V. McChesney, on estimates furn.
ished by the Auditor, is $3.50.
This is Oh an apportionment to
the school fund of 81 ,947, 165 -,
and is an increase cf 2S cents
over the per capita of the year
1902:
The estimate on which the per
capita is declared is as follows:
73l, S4l pupil children as shown
by reports of school officers, at 81,
go per pupil, 81 ,9O2, 1860,
Amount to be distributed to
counties as interest on county
bonds, $22,9lS.S5.
Balance to meet expense of the
Office and possible corrections in
the census, $21,459.74.
Making total of 81, 947, 1853.
The increase in the per capita
from 1922, the amount paid last
year, is due to two conditions. The
per capita last year was materially
reduced by the loss of tax on State
banks, res 1lting from an act of the
General Assembly refunding to
these banks taxes they had paid
under the old law, in excess of the
amount they should have paid.
This act was passed after the
Court of Appeals had decided that
these hanks had paid more than
their just proportion of the states
revenues under the old law referr
ed to. The refunding was done by
way of remitting the taxes on
these banks last year.
The second reason for the in
crease is an increase of about $2l2.
900 in the sheriff's revenue for the
present year. The per capita for
the four years of the present adj.
ministration has been as follows
In 1900 it was 81. As; in 1901. $50:
in 1902, 2.32; in 1903, $50 If
the State bank tax matter had not
affected the situation last year the
per capita for the four years would
have been as nearly uniform as it
is possible to make it, made up in
part as it is by certain funds that
huctuate from year to year
The difference between tie high
est and the lowest for the four
years is only % cents. During the
Republican administration tn e
per capita tluctuated from 1920,
the amount paid in 1896, and 1897
to $2.70, the amount paid in 1899
1t will be remem bered that by
holding the per capita down to
1920 in 1896 and 1897 and to 81
30 in 1898, a tremendous surplus
was created, enabling the Super.
intendent of Public instruction
to declare a much higher per cap
ita in 1899 than the revenues of
the year justified.
Dur ng the four years of the
Democratic administration the per
capita has averaged eleven and
three quarter cents higher than
during the Republican administra
tion preceding.
This difference of eleven and
three-quarter cents, in the average
per capita has made an increase Of
ABOUT $4,000 annually in the
amount paid the teachers of the
state, aside from the question of
keeping the per capita more near
ly uniform, and paying to The tea

fIGURlFS ON LYNCHING.

Beginning in 1885, the Chicago
Tribune has kept a detailed record
OF lynch-law operations in the IN
tied States. Up to Monday last
Delaware was one of five states in
which mob vengeance had not pre-
vailed over ordinary processes dur
ing seventeen and half years of

bic list of exemption.
Mob law is thus shown TO be
the distinct manifestation Of no
section. The Far West has dealt
out great deal of il to horse and
cattle thieves. But out of 2,5l6
lynchings recorded by the Tribune
up TO the end Of 1900, the South
furnished 1850. OF the victims
l,61S were negroes, sol were
whites, II Indians, . Chinese and
2 Mexicans. Summary death WAS
the penalty. mob administered, for
Ia different offenses, murder and
criminal assault heading the list.
One man was lynched tor sispping
a girl, another for jilting girl.
w. paid the penalty for writing
insulting letters, two for gambling
three for being unpopular" and
two for practiciug "voodooism'
In 1885, 1855 and 1892 morse
stealing in the West led to nota-
bic swelling Of the lists OF sum-
mary executions.
Even as late AS 1901 the lynch
ings in the Union were seventeen
more than the legal executions,
the number being l35 and us re-
specially.
More than fifty women h ave
been victims Of lynching parties.
TIE Southern States with lar
gest number ofiecorded lynchings
are Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana,
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.
Indiana leads in the North, with
36 mob murders, New Jersey had
lynching in 1886, New York had
one in 1892 and another in 1896.
Connecticut had one in 1886.
Any impression that the prac-
tice of lynch law is dying out, and
that no steps are necessary to re.
strain it is corrected by the Tri.
bune tables. There were ninety
lynchings in 1881 and l35, as stat
ed, in 1901. Between these years
the number shifted back and forth
going as high as 235 ia 1899.
