These are only the more important
items. II will be seen that the larger
expense by far is for education. Add
ing the amounts expended for the COM
mon schools, high schools, together with
100000 interest on Chickasaw School
fund, $1,000 for summer normals, 1. l. &
c. endowment, etc, the total is above
Sl,700.000 per year. To this should also
be added the salaries of n county su-
perintendents and the special tax IN
separate school districts. Mississippi is
making fine record in the way of edu-
eating her youth, better than any other
Southern State and larger part of the
Northern States. The next item in i'm
portance is for the support of Exon
federatc soldiers who are without the
means of caring for themselves. In this
item s250,000 is paid direct and SET 900
at the home. There are few indeed who
would advocate the curtailing of this
expense. The penitentiary shows on the
face a large item of expense, but this is
Offset by revenues derived amounting to
something like 100000 in net profit
each year. This is over the $214. 900
of expense. The A. & NJ. College, which
together with the several experiment
stations, cxpend about Sl3s,000 'annu-
ally, but the excellent work being done
is sufficient cause for continuing the ap-
preparation. While it is necessary to
expend a large sum to keep the wheels
of government moving, our State is in
very prosperous condition, and the
increase in taxable values does not re-
quire an increase in the tax rate. As
the State progresses the expense of
maintenance will be necessarily in
creased, but the tax rate should be held
down by increased values.
