The question Of local tax which will
be voted on, the 10 of March, ought to
be of special interest to every one in
the community who has at heart tbs
of the children and the ad-
vancement and betterment of the
For the benefit of some
have been wrongly informed, we
will say that the tax will be As cents
the poll, and Is cents on the hun
dollars worth of property, and
for every dollar paid by APPARENT in
the community the railroads and non
residents, who own property here, will
pay four dollars. In other words, the

lands here and the railroads travers
ing the district will pay four fifths of
the tax to send thee children of this
community to school six months out
some wealthy Individual were to offer
to pay your child's tuition four months
every time you paid one, there is not a
father in this section but who would
gladly take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to give his child an education.
This is exactly what this tax offers to
do, and we would be glad if every one
would lay aside prejudice and selfish
ness, and carry it, as they did in the
Woodland district, where the tax was
double what it is here, but only one
vote was cast against the measure,
from the fact that the good people OF
that section fully realize the import
ance of educating the children, for up.
on them hangs the future welfare OF
the country. There will be no increase in
the tax, as we are reliably informed.
from the fact hat it will furnish the
amount necessary for a six months
term. But, on the other hand, it MAJ
be decreased in proportion to circum.
stances rendering such necessary. We
trust every voter will look at the mat
ter from a fair, impartial, and unpre'
JUDGED standpoint, and cast his vote
for the measure, thereby doing hi
part in elevating the community tx
tbs plane of intellectual advancement
which should be it's pleasure ane
privilege to occupy.
