WHITING NEWS
Turn Over Neat Sum.

The building committee of the now
defunct Baptist church, consisting of
Messrs. Williams Greatrake, Z. G.
Swartz. S. S. Tanner and John N.
Greenwald. turned over the sum of
s149.75 to the Methodist and Congre-
gational churches of this city. The
check for the Methodist church was
given to S. S. Tanner, and the Congre-
gational was given to Miss Nellie E.
Wycoffe. The money may be used by
these churches in any way they see fit.
The Baptist church was one of the
first houses of worship in Whiting.
Funds were collected by contests and
various other means to go to the build
ing fund. In 1898 when churches of
other denominations began to increase,
the attendance started dropping off as
people naturally went back to their
own churches Finally the church went
out of existence and the money, which
was in a Chicago bank, was left there
since 49,
The principal was originally about
$95, the surplus being the interest,
which has accumulated by the sum be-
ing in the bank for these sixteen years
The committee have endeavored more
than once to decide which way to put
the money to better use. They finally
came to the conclusion that, owing tc
so many of the people who worked to
| earn the sum. being allied with these
two churches that the sum should
rightly go to them. The careful dis
position of the funds, which the com
mittee had under their charge for 81
many years, will surely meet the hear
ty approval of those formerly inter
ested in the Baptist church of Whiting

plenty of nutritious matter will be alb

the food will ferment, and undigested.
the food will pass along through the
bowels, furnishing so little nutritious

Some wonderful predictions are being

the north end of the state will hold all
the laurels, as to population and financ-

very few years and that Marion county
which has always lorded it over the rest
of the counties in the state will have
to take back seat One of the best
features that make for welfare of the
whole county is the absence of the one
time sectional feeling and each town
and city at present gives evidence of
being in hearty accord with anything
that will boots the county at large

WILL We PAY
MORE IN TAXES?
Continued From Page One.)

IN hand, the view was expressed that
probably some form of a specific tax
IN support of education would on the
whole be the most successful and the
most satisfactory to all parties.
Since the issuing of that statement
much information has been gathered
from many sources, including various
states and sections of the American
Union. And the commission itself has
held several meetings and given careful
study to the whole situation. The re-
suit has been thus far to confirm the
view previously announced. And we
hereby again invite our fellow citizens,
and especially those who are interest
ed in education, to consider whether
a specific tax, imposed by a general law
in force from year to year except as
amended or changed on special occa-
sion, may not be best adapted to Sc
cure economy, stability, and the inter
ests of all parties concerned.
Such a tax, so imposed, would not
fetter the legislature, for the whole
matter would still be under the control
of the law making power. And in years
when there was no necessity for any
change our legislators would be the
IIG6I " give GHt1I jlUlG anu thought
to other issues. With regard to the
amount of money to be raised for school
purposes, if it should be necessary to
keep that amount proportionately as
small as it is now, specific tax run
ming stably from year to year would
enable the school authorities to know
what to depend upon, and thus to use
their funds to the best advantage.
And if, on the other hand, the enlarge
ment which is greatly needed can be
realized, the specific tax would furnish
most convenient method of such en-
largement.
Moreover, while our public school
laws and their administration must
ever be department of general gov
eminent and subject to its general ext
gencies, yet there is need of a good
degree of independence in the school
system. The best educational success
is impossible so long as our schools are
subject to the fluctuations of politics
and biennial appropriation. Just here,
it seems to us, is one excellence of the
specific tax for our schools. 1t affords
our school system and school author
tiles the reasonable independence which
is promotive of the highest success,
while at the same time keeping them
subject to the Legislative, judicial and
executive departments of the territorial
government.
