Dawson has agreed to raise one half

there is now no doubt that this will
be done. The remainder is to be Sc

water. A country like ours cannot
exist without its public schools. They
are it's life blood. But you say that it
will be unjust to tax you to support
public schools because you have no
children to send to school. Your Wis
ion is very short. Are you not taxed
to support courts? Yet public schools
are as truly government institutions as
are courts. Besides, public schools
rea eh aud correct greater number OF
people than do the courts, and hence
their influence Is about ten-fold great
err than that OF the courts. The duty
to support public schools is one that
no patriotic citizen will attempt TO es-
cape.
throughout the United States the
recognized way of improving the pub
lie schools and extending the term is
by local taxation, and the schools are
best where this principle is most wide.

the northern states are the best of the

are making the greatest progress edu-
cationally. Louisiana has the longest
term of school of any Of the southern
states, and this is made possible by
raising so per cent of the school fund
by local taxation. The state of Geor-
Ola has been and is very liberal in APP
propriating money for its public
schools, but the state can go no further
in this way. But the state is willing
still to help us-not by giving US more
money, but by giving us the power to
help ourselves, and this the last legls-
lature did by passing a law to lncor-
porate the Brentwood school district.
Under this law we will have the same
privileges and rights in school leglsla-

| Washington.-When the senate re-
convened Monday, after the holiday
recess, few senator's were absent.
Almost Immediately a discussion be-
gan regarding the coal situation. Sen
ator Lodge announced his Introduction
OF a bill suspending for 80 days the
duty on coal with a statement that in
New England there was much distress
owing To the scarcity OF coal. In in
producing bill To suspend the duty
on coal, Senator Lodge said he was
aware that such a measure must orig
mate in the house, but he desired TO
call the attention of the finance com.
mittee to existing conditions. In his
section there was great suffering for
lack Of fuel. and many factories might
be forced To shut down. The duty of
% cents on anthracite coal, he said.
could be removed for 80 days without
injury to the coal producers OF the
country.
Senator Culbertson followed with a
resolution providing for the removal
OF duty on anthracite coal. and asking
Its immediate consideration. Senator
Platt Of Connecticut objected, saying
Il was his understanding that there
was no duty on anthracite coal. Sen
alto. Vest took exception to this state
ment, and said that the board OF gen
eral appraisers and President Roose-
welt had decided that such a duty is i'm
posed. Senator Vest also introduced a
resolution on the subject.
The resolution referring TO the petit
ton OF W. r. Hurst. charging the ex

spiracy among certain railroads in the

ing for the evidence accumulated by

in the matter by calling for the evil
