in the State constitution of 1901, gran ting to counties upon certain condi- tions, the right to levy a tax of one mill for public school purposes, I favor the levy of this tax wherever practice able.
 But 1t takes a three fifths vote of an entire county, and the fact is. portions of county may be served with as good schools as they want and, there fore, opposed to the levy of an addi- tional tax. More than this, the amount is too small. Such restriction upon the right of taxation exists nowhere else In this county. It is impossible of execution in many of the counties it is impracticable and insufficient In all tsF
 We have been told that unsettled questions have no pity for the repose of nations and that no question is set tied until 1t is settled right.
 It Is idle to talk about this being a settlement of this question. A system of schools maintained largely by local taxation and guided and controlled by local interest is an absolute necessity here as it has been proven to be else where. tell you there can be no re- pose in Alabama until these letters have been stricken from the limbs of freemen. On Thanksgiving day. when our new Constitution, by proclamation of the Governor. went into effect in 1901, the people of Alabama for the first time since 1860 felt the chains of political bondage fall from their limbs. They have written and established, so far as their political rights are con cerned a constitution, which in my humble judgment, Is the best of any State in the Union. Having hedged

 Let no man think the fight for edu- cation has ended. It has only begun. It will not end until the cause of ilIit- eracy is banished forever from our doors. and until our school system is the equal of any in the land
 We have heard it said that the door or hope should not be closed in the face of the negro. FA~ the one hun. dred and four thousand whites mals and female. over ten years of age, who in 1900 were illiterates and for their descendants, I plead to you today that the door of hope may not be shut for ever in their faces and that the hand of opportunity may be outstretched to them!

Speech of Mr. Bowie at
 Conference for Education

At the recent Conference for Educa- ton In the South, Congressman Sydney l. Bowie spoke as follows:
 Mir. President. Ladies and Gentlemen:
 In contemplating this question of local taxation for public schools, after reading all can find upon the subject. and especially after giving 1t the most serious possible consideration = the wonder to me is, not how can any one be for it, but how can they be against it.
 The question involved Is elementary The great Revolution of 1776 was fought under the magic cry of NO tax ation without representation. This was but the assertion of the, right of self-government. Who would have supposed in view of the blood our fore fathers shed in assertion of the princi- pie that a parliament over the seas could not tax them without their con- sent, that in its stead a government should have grown up in our own midst under which their descendants were denied the privilege of determining whether or not they would levy a tax on their own property for their own benefse?
 It is dificult for disciple of Thomas Jefferson. who believes both in the right and capacity of people.-espe- cialIy of this people-for self-govern- ment, to discuss the subject with those who would inhibit the right and ques- tion the capacity.
 We have been told that every ques- tion has two sides to 1t, but we should never lose sight of the fact that one of these sides is right and the other wrong. The supreme question for us to consider is which side shall we take? Under which King, Benzonian, do you stand?"
 suppose that in this audience may quote without disapprobation and praise without disfavor the Father of Democracy, the most passionate be- liever of all men in the right and ca pacity of the people to rule, in many respects the most renowned and most useful statesman that this, or any oth- CT country. has produced. Said he
 "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in state of civilization. it expects to be what never was and never will be-

venting the perversion of power into tyranny are to illuminate as far as practicable the minds of the people"
 No other sure foundation can be de- vised for the preservation of peace and happiness--Preach a crusade against ignorance! Establish and improve the law for educating the common people Let our countrymen know that the peo- pie alone can protect us from the evils of misgovernment."
 Above all things hope the educa- tion of the common people will be at- tended to: convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most se- curity for the preservation of a due degree of liberty"
 And in discussing his famous bill for the education of all the people of vir- ginia he said: The expense of the elementary schools for every county is proposed to be levied on the wealth of the county. and all children. rich and poor. to be educated at these three years free'
 The truth Is that the want of conn mon education with us is not from our poverty but from the want of an order ly system. More money is now paid for the education of a part (referring to their private school system) than would be paid for that of the whole IT SJSsOhetiSahy dIEdH6cu.
 What will be the retribution of the wealthy individual (for his support of general education)? First, the peo- bling of his neighborhood with honest. useful and enlightened citizens, under standing their own rights and firm in their perpetuation. Second, When his own descendants become poor. which they generally do within three genera tions Ono law of primogeniture now perpetuating wealth in the same fami- lies), their children win be educated by the then rich, and the little advance he now makes to poverty, while rich himself, will be repaid by the then rich, to his descendants when they be- come poor. and thus give them chance of rising again. This is a solid consideration and should go home to the bosom of every parent It will be seed sown in fertile ground. It is a provision for his family looking to distant times, and far in duration be- yond what he has now in hand for them"

 ternished the national honor! Show me that page o1 our country's history which has not been made brighter by the wis., dom of her statesmen and the valor of | her arms.
 The history of the South is a glorious | and inspiring one and 1t has wisdom, | courage, statosmanship and honor enough | among Its own peolpe to meet every l emergency. to solve and rightly solve, | eN cry question that is presented to it. But there Is today confronting us fin Alabama a problem which, if true to the proud traditions of our forefa thers, and the glorious history which they have handed down to US, We must begin to solve and solve at oncei This question Is the problem of white illiteracy. It has been stated over and over egain that the State of Alabama appropriates more than one-half of It's general revenues for the purpose of education. This is true We haled with supreme satisfaction the provisions in our constitution on the edu- cauonal question. But in it's practical aralysis. how has 1t worked out? It largely increased the amount fixed in the constitution of 1875 and 1t also increased the amount which had heretofore been appropriated by the legislature. but the painful fact had as well be stated now a. hereafter. that while there is some increase in the total amount raised by taxation under the new constitution, yet that increase was not as great as the ln- crease in the school population. In other words the per capita distribution to scLOol children between the ages of seven and twenty-one in 1902 before the constitution went into effect was $1.s7, while in 1903. by reason of increased num- Der of children. it was only $131.
 That the State cannot Increase the amount it appropriates Is plain. It needs every dollar of It's surplus revenues for general public purposes; It gives HOW ali t can. There are only three other sources which have been sugGeSted
