In many educational institutions Of
the country the students seem to be
allowed too much leeway in attempting
to dictate to the faculty how the In
stitution shall be conducted This
probably originated in the institutions
where the support Of the parents Of the
pupdls. as somewhat and In some IN
stances influenced by the pupils them
selves, was depended upon for their
very existence. IL Ii conceivable that
In such cases a timid faculty may have
been weak enough to allow. students to
dictate what should and what should
not be. But such an attitude Is not
compatible with dignity, even when
adopted as a matter Of self-preserva-
ton.

In opposition to the suicide clubs,

manded the attention of the country,
several attempts have been made to
organize hundred year old clubs. or,
more explicitly, clubs composed of
members who. will .endeavor to round
out a century of human existence. To
a club of this nature belongs Chief
Chemist Wiley, and while he Is merely

TO COLLECT TAXES
Of COUNTY EMPLOYEES

Tax Assessor Holt wants the Board
OF Supervisors to help him I'm making
the employees of the various county
departments dig up their taxes. He
suggests that II might be a good idea
to adopt the system In use on the sew
eral plantations of the County for
facilitating the collection of the per-
sonal taxes from their laborers. The
system works by means of coupons by
which the employe authorizes the conf
pany to hold out In small amounts the
total amount of his taxes This, where
u man receives only Si.OO or $l.25 a
day. works less hardship than where
the man has to dig up 81 on a single
pay day. when he has only So or So
coming to him.
Cox thought II a man doesn't pay
his taxes, he ought to be fred and some
one employed In his place who will
pay up. His views. however, did not
seem to meet with much favor, and the
matter was referred to the Committee
on Ways and Means.
