expect one to do this. The subdi-
rector would also have to go from
five to twenty miles to the county
seat to get the money of the county

money advanced by him.

they should be. There is a lack of
interest in the parents and children
of our rural schools. Our common
school branches are neglected and
fads and things taught that are no
earthly good to the children.

parents to teach nothing but the
common branches in our rural
schools and thoroughly and have the
children's education planned on a
solid foundation. Give prizes to the

To Tax Old Bachelors.

Bachelors, benedicts and lovers
will get all that is coming to them in
the way of laws if the bills now
pending before the Iowa legislature
are passed. The bill that is causing
CONSERVATION among many of our
citizens is the one to tax bachelors.
Waverly has goodly number of
these savages in its midst, but we
have never considered them as being
as great nuisance as the stray
dogs with which the town is blessed.
and which the supreme court has
held it is unlawful to tax other than
by direct county tax. The bachelor
pays county and city and poll tax
and 1t would be a great injustice to
compel him to pay additional trib-
butte and be made to wear a tag in
order that he might run at large
without being arrested, taken to the
pound and shot. The Knoxville Ex-
press does not take the same view of
this as we do and in the last issue
says:
This would appear to be nothing
more than simple justice. Having
declined to assume the ordinary bur-
dens of society and to board and
clothe female and rear olive
branches to fight for the country
and continue the Anglo-Saxon race.
the old bachelor is virtually an out
law and entitled to no protection
1t is certainly light enough punish
ment II he be merely required to
bear a heavier portion of expenses
OF the government and so relieve
those who have borne the brunt of
the battle and striven by night with
teething infants. AS at present con-
templated, each bachelor will wear
a collar and numbered license tag
and be required to display red
light at night. The champions of
the law are sanguine of it's success.
although it is reported that a pow
erful lobby, headed by the editor of
the Journal, is already levying con-
tribut1ons on the bachelors of the
state in order to corrupt legislators. {"
The bill to tax old bachelors is
not consistent if that one becomes a
law which will be introduced by
X. Sutton to compel both men and
women to pass medical examina-
ZION before they can secure a license
TO wed. The examination should
be along three lines, so the Sutton
bill embellishments and charac-
ter, mental capacity and health and
physical vitality.
The old bachelor could never pass
the examination. He has a disease
known only to himself-non-docil-
ity, timidity and bashfulness. He is
not living in boarding house cul-
hvating dyspepsia, and sewing but
tons on his own clothes from choice.
but being afflicted with the bachelor
disease he cannot frame into senten-
ces the words that would convince
any female of sound mind to leave
papa to become his hired girl. He
should not be taxed for his misfor-
tune. Better be it that tribute be
levied on that disease of luxury
appendicitis-and not burden the
old bachelor more for his load is
heavy. That he is not entirely de-
serted is shown by proposed bill to
be introduced in the legislature to
get even with the married men by
taxing every child born to them,
and from this the bachelors are get
ting some consolation.-Waverly
