financial scheme by which he said he
would safely lead the board out Of its
difficulties" This resulted In q few

members OF the committee should de-
fer their comments until they went into

board OF county commissioners should
be looked to for the tax and that II
was not proper to bring the matter to
the Legislature.
Mr., Barton said the schools ought to
be I; from all political and religious
ind.,tness, and 50 long as they were
bound TO the county board they would
not be, for the reason that the board
Is composed Of politicians who are
looking after their own interests.
