GOOD WAGE THEORY INDICATED,

The average raise in wages paid rural
school teachers in Polk county Of $500
per month is having the effect which
the Capital predicted it would. Good
teachers are responding, and the county
superintendent states that the problem
of securing efficient help in the country
districts bid fair to speedily solye itself.
The country school teacher is worthy
of her hire. She earns every dollar
that she receives. She has never made
an unreasonable demand in her life.
But let the patrons get awake to the
needs of their own children and they
will see TO it that none bat competent
teachers ars engaged, and that they
have ample compensation for services
rendered.
We are gratified to learn of the ad.
vanced step that has been taken this
spring. Let all other counties IN the
state do likewise. Next year let for.
ward movement be made throughout
the state, and Iowa will soon occupy
the position which she ought to occupy
before the educational world.

WHERE SOME TAXES CO..

Sometimes we hear taxpayers make
the inquiry, "Where does all the money
we pay for taxes go?" and while, of
course, this is a rather difficult question
to answer. in many ways, still, if these
people would just examine some of the
books in the county auditors Office they
would undoubtedly get an 'eye opener"
on the subject. For instance, on the
probate record in the clerks Office will
be found the affidavit of the death of
one j. @. Riley, who for the past six.
teen years has been patient at the
hospital at the expense of the county.
Upon locking up his accounts in the
books of the auditors Office you will
find that for the care of this man alone
Page county has paid $2,749.97, or al
most 5000 per year. This is quite an
item Of expense when you consider that
there are many more just such cases to
be counted. For the care of one Han
nah Johnson, resident of this county
incarcerated in the hospital, who is
still living, over $4,000 has been ex-
pended. There is no wortEier cause in
which the funds could be used than in
the care of these poor unfortunates, and
every taxpayer ought to feel proud of
the fact that he lives in country where
such efforts are taken to look after those
who are unable to care for themselves
roperly.-Clarinda Herald
