DISCUSSIONS
Dr.. Ellis Tells the Institute
That the First Duty is to
Obey Government

was unabated at this mornings Sos
sion OF the New Castle County Teach
ers' Institute. Or. Ellis again occupied
the platform this morning ON AN oh,
legation to the state" I'm part he said
that since 1881 the increase of h'mi-
eide has been IL times greater in
proportion to the population. What is
the first duty Of an American citizcn,
he asked. Some say II is the duty Of
everyone TO vote, others say TO hold Of
fec. while still others say to tell the
truth to the assessor and pay your
taxes The highest duty Of an Ameri-
can citizen is not TO pay for his gov
ernment, but to obey his government.
Womanhood is large part of the
citizenship of a nation although 1t can
not vote. Obedience In school is helping
the children when grown to obey the
laws of the state II is more neces-
sary that we have body Of men and
women who will obey the laws OF the
land than that we have men and wO-
men who can read and write. The pub
lie school is the child of the State, and
the greatest duty Of the school is to
stand Tor supremacy OF law.

OPPOSE CHANGE
In SCHOOL TAX
Diamond State Grange Dis
cuSSeS Law Proposed by
superintendent Spald
MEMBERS STATE
THEIR OBJECTIONS

The bin to be presented to the I.egisla-
wrc by A. r. spaid. superintendent Of
county schools. proposing changes IN the
manner OF collecting school taxes en-
countered not little opposition at the
weekly meeting of Diamond state Grange
at Stanton. last night AZ another meet
ing IL Is probable that "a committee will
be appointed 20 bring the subject before
Pomona Grange at It's meeting at Center
vile. on December g.
The meeting also considered changes
proposed IA the law applying 10 WEIGHTS
and measures, ana q committee CONF
prislng Francis a. Honecker. attorney Of
this city and Palmer Dckoy. of stanton.
was appointed 20 present resolutions ON
The law To Pomona Grange. Attention
TO weights and measures WIS actuated
by alleged infraction of The law hy milk
men st Stanton and other points
William n. Mccoy "a leading member
of the grange and "a former school CONF
missioner, presented himself as the most
vigorous opponent Of the proposed
change In the school law in a forcihle
address. The address was followed by
general discussion that showed that Mr..
McCoy's arguments had not hcen lost.
and It was practically the unanimous
sentiment that Professor Spaid's pro-
posed law was il advised. although it
was not denied that the present law
might hc improved by amendment Pro-
fossor Ppaid's idea is that the school
taxes should be- collected With the county
taxea and distributed Go the school dis
tricts by the county treasurer just as
any other county, IN proportion TO the
population OF the school districts. Tie
proposes that the school taxes be based
upon the assessed valuation Of the taxa
ble's property instead of on It's rental
value. as II is under the present law.
The consenus Of opinion az the srang-
ers' meeting was that valuation upon the
rental value OF the property could not
be changed FOR the better bv Mr.. spald's
billl Another objection was against
Professor Spaid's suggestion that the
school tax be collected by the county
tax collectors The grangers thought
that If the taxes were collected promptly
by the collectors under the present sys-
tenn there could be no need for any
change II was thought most appropriate
that tho school tax should be collected
az a different time than the county taxes
as Il lessened the burden to the tax
payers.
The appointment Of committee to
bring the law applying TO weights and
measures before Pomona Grange fol
lowed a discussion OF alleged infraction'
OF the law by milk dealers. IL Is charged
that a number Of milkmen arc using an
illegal "wet" measure Some Of the
grangers do not believe that the pun.
lshment provided by the hw for such vio'
lation Is adequate and they will urge
that Pomona Grange bring measure
before the Legislature making the pun
ishment more severe.
