half of the state tax; about one half of the poll tax: one half of the railroad tax; one half of all of the corporation tax, including the OZan Lumber Co.,, the Pres colt Hardware Co.,, The Prescott Supply Co.,, the three Banks, the Mcdaniel Hardware Co.,, and every other corporation. He will also get his own district tax.
 Would not the colored children in the Prescott District under seggregation get at least two or three times as much as they get now?
 In some districts in the country it would be different. There are many places where it would entirely destroy the negro school. Well, what would be the result in those places? The negro would bring an injunction in the federal court and enjoin the division of the funds. He could do that in any district where it ruined his school. 50 the Jaw would be null and void in places where it took from the negro his share of the opportunity of an education, and would be in full force and effect in those districts where it would make the colored school better.
 If the taxes should be seggre gated it would be necessary to have separate school districts, separate directors, separate county examiners, etc. So there would be two systems or quasi governments covering the same territory.
 We cannot see any good that can result from this measure; in fact, it seems to us that much evil might result and no good to compensate for the evil.

The Segregation Bill.

h bllI iISbo fAt'oCN SAiN 'S " - house of the present general assembly for the segregation of the school taxes.
 As we understand tI'is measure it provides that the taxes paid by the white, shall be placed to the credit of the school fund belong ing to the whites, and the taxes paid by the colored shall be placed to the credit of the colored school fund, and that these two funds shall be kept separate, and that this shall only apply to a division of the district school tax.
 At first glance this may seen to be fair, and the correct thing to do; but a more careful inves- tigation and study of this ques- tion will reveal the fact that it is entirely the wrong thing to do.
 It is claimed by the friends of the measure that it will put the negro on his own resources and make him more independent.
 If this is true, does any one think for moment that this would be desirable? Does any one want a race living here with another race, the two independ- ent Of each other and running separate and rival institutions? Gan any real good come to either the negro or the white man by making the negro more independ- ent of the white?
 Is it not better for both that the negro should regard the white man as his superior, and be in Q measure dependent on him.
 Again it is said that the negro has been the ward of the state long enough, and it is time for him to learn to shift for himself.
 If that is considered sound reasoning, why would it not ap- ply with equal force to the poor white child?
 But is the reasoning good?
 It is not sound in reason or common sense as We see 1t. The state is composed of its citizens, and it is the duty of the whole to see that each integral part is as intelligent as possible.
 But how would that work out?
 Take Prescott as the first illu- Stration. In Prescott district there are about an equal number of white and colored children of school age. What does each now get? How do they get it? And how would it be under the pro- prosed law?
 The directors are all white men. The county examiner IS a white man. Before the negro can get a cent from the treasury he must first be examined by a white county examiner and then employed by a board of white directors, and the board of direc- tors say how long he must teach and how much pay he must re- ceive. Has the white man got any kick coming on that propo- sition?
 With an equal number of child ren, the white school has eight teachers; the principal gets Sl25 per month, and the other seven get $50 per month, making to- tai of $475. % per month.
 The colored school has three teachers; one on a salary of $40 per month, and the other two on a salary of $30 each or total of $100. .00 per month.
 Seggregate it and how would it be? The negro will get one
