hence, the civic ideal of Scottish Masonry
means a broad, humane and fair foreign
policy. A civil government operated In
accordance with the civic ideal of Scot
fish Masonry is a fair, just and honest
government. 1t gives to all men the priv
iege to choose and observe his God ac-
cording to his conscience, it denies to no
man equal opportunity or protection be-
cause of his choice, belief or creed, nor
does it accord to any of these special
privileges or prerogative. 1t recognizes
the natural differences among the races
and nations of man, but it makes no diff
ference among these in the protection of
their lives liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness. Upon this beautiful ideal there Is
no commercial, national, sectional or Sec
tartan prejudice. On the contrary, in the
enactment and administration of law. jus
tice and equity alone should be the OBJ
ject and purpose.

Ideal of Law.

"This ideal Is one of law, these laws to
be impartial. just and applicable to all
within their Jurisdiction. Law which has
for it's purpose special benefits to the in
dvidual the few, at the expense and
detriment 81 the many, falls below the
IDEAL. A Scottish Mason who advocates
and supports an economic policy which if
enacted into law would rebound to his
special benefit or to the special benefit Of
a particular class, at the sacrifice of 9TH
ers, violates the principles of Scottish
Masonry and is not in the direction of it's
ideal. If, through the operation of an I'M
just measure or an unjust law or through
the maladministration of a just law, he
should be benefited, knowing that the
principles OF right and justice in the
meantime have been dsregarded and
equity denied. he is prohibited from ac-
curing or holding such benefits.
THE civic ideal knows no race, nation
atty, sex, age, riches, poverty, fame OF
obscurity that modifes the purpose and
operation of law. On the contrary, law
Is an exact criterion for the regulation OF
the affairs and positions of men, fairly
Justly and ,mpartially. 1t is a measure
that should be applied in the same way t
an ingot of gold as to a clod of dirt, tc
the glittering diamond as to the pebble
to the towering mountain as to the mole
hill.

ton where he examined the books of the
county officials. He found that the work
of Tax Assessor II. A. Wright had been
fairly effective in raising the valuations
but thought the figures were yet far too
low. OF the finances of the county he
says:
"rhe county receives about as much
school funds as it pays the state in prop
erty and poll taxes. In addition 1t re-
| ceives $4,000 which Is paid to the confed-
crate pensioners, or about this much more
than the state receives from the county"
