that large majority of the tax
PAYERS of the county are favorable
to better schools and are willing to
pay for making them better.
We are willing to admit that
there are many things not right
about the school system as con-
Quoted in Highland, but we be-
lieve the remedy for many of them
can be found in showing up more
money. If we pay but little we
get but little.
As the matter now stands you
need not go to your senator or your
representative for assistance. 1t is
left for the people Of Highland to
say whether or not they desire a
better school system and are willing
to pay for making it better.

take back all we haye sail in the

Mr. Reyercomb, for, on "Wednesday
night, we received a communica-
ton from him which explains his
position as to this matter But for
the fact that we have not type
enough up to fill our paper this

of the article entirely.

There is nothing that we know of

prevented from taking his stand In the

broken glass and having rocks broken
on his empty head with a sledge, yet
such things we consider. as disgusting
and shocking as hypnotic exhibitions.
But everybody does not so regard these
things, and Will pay money to encour-
age them. Did you ever think that If
such fakes received no patronage from
morbidly curiously spectators they
would not be in evidence? But, 1t is a
fact that there are people who will pay
a quarter every week to see some fake

with such? We cannot reach them be-
cause we are not running their kind OF

correspondent, but we can suggest no
better way to discourage such so-called
entertainments, than by not patroniz-
ing them, and by not again looking at
show windows that shock with disgust

IS the plNGLEY Law A CONTRACT

The latest question raised by that
self-constituted dictator of American
tariff policies, the American Economist,
will add no strength to its position
against the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
Among other questions of the desira-
bility of prompt action by congress on
the Cuban treaty the Economist asks:
docs 1t not involve the violation by the
government of contract of agreement
with certain producing interests Of the
United States-namely, the Dingley
tariff law"
This brings out reply from the New
York Tribune to which the question
had been largely directed. The Tri-
bune has known the obliga-
ton of contract invoked by
corporations to avoid new taxes and
calls attention to the tact that the
franchise holders of New York are just
now appealing to the supreme court on
that ground in their endeavors to es-
cape taxation on the value of their
franchises. 1t is something new to the
Tribune, however, to find the tax laws
themselves construed as a contract and
therefore not subject to change, lest
the constitutional rights of citizens be
invaded.
Continuing the Tribune goes on to
say I'VE have heard great many
unpleasant things said about the Ding
ley tariff law and Its working which
NE did not believe. We never expected
70 see its protested friends suggest
what It's enemies have sometimes

passage we'll adapted to promote the
prosperity of the whole country, ana
since outgrown and in need of mcdif-
cation only in detail. If il was a con-
tract with the sugar and tobacco inter
ests. as now suggested. then our faith
has been misplaced. If the Dinghy law
was a contract with certain producing
interests then it must have been
passed in payment OF some supposed
debt The producing interests in lles-
ton must have paid something for 1t.
"a contract implies consideration.
What producing interests rendered
valuable consideration which gives
them a. right to look on law or lhe
United States as a contract which the
United States has no right to revise at
will. What was the consideration? To
whom was it rendered? What are the
secret causes which give what is 'an its
face a mere tax law the character OF
contract? Certain producing interests
have contract with the United states
have they?--a contract, not that they
shall be taxed only at a certain rate, or
shall not be taxed at all, but that some
tody else shall be taxed for their bene-
fit? For how long does this contract
run? Have the certain producing in
terests' acquired perpetual lien on
the country by the passage Of q, con-
tract instrument establishing an un-
changeable tax? What claim hfsa the
producing interests on the lawmakers
to induce the creation of such I'm as
tonishing obligation, amounting to the
sale and alienation of the governments

or that congress thus violated Its duty.
It is much more probable that the OPP

merely indulging in reckless assertions
and avancing groundless claims. Ger
tainly, If there had been any such bar
gain and sale of the taxing power and
the establishment of rates on G. con-
tract agreement. those who We're en-
