UNABLE TO MANAGE THE PIE.
Lad at Work for Farmer Took Too
Large a Contract.

An Ohio farmer hired a runaway
boy that came along and wanted work.
At the first meal there was custard
pie on the table, and the lad liked 1t
so we'll that he offered to work for all
the custard pie he could eat every day.
The farmer took him up. On the
next day the boy eat five pies and
nothing else. On the next four pies
On the third three. He stuck at three
for two days, and then dropped to two.
At the end Of the week he had hard
work to get away with one, and at the
end of the tenth day the sight of .
pie put him in a SILVER.
The farmer insisted that he eat, and
as he couldn't he was horsewhipped,
and that brought the matter into court.
The man was fined five dollars for
cruelty to boy, the boy was severely
lectured for cruelty to custard pie, and
while the farmer went back home the
lad moved on in search of a home
where pie Of any sort was not known.

AS some of orr readers may not see
Governor Dickerson's message, we give
space to those portions of it relating to
the state board of lssessors and reduc-
tion Of taxes. It is plain talk:
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1909-01-22

small tax payers. railroads are i'm
portant factors in the upbuilding of
the state and should, under all Cir
culnstances, be dealt with in spirit
of justice and fair play, not only in the
matter of taxation, but in all matters
where the authority of the state is
exercised.
1t is simple justice to require the
railroads and other large corporations
to pay their proportion of the expenses
of government, the benefits of whose
protection no class Of property receives
a greater share. 1t is quite evident
that as long as the state board of
assessors is permitted to fix valuations
the railroads will escape their Just
proportion of taxes. ...
1 urgently recommend that the law
creating the state board of assessors be
repealed"
TAX REDUCTIONS
Under the provisions of what is
known as the Newlands law, requiring
graduated reductions in the tax rate of
the various counties of the state, the
counties have each year reduced their
rates until some have reached the
minimum of so cents on the 500 valua-
ton, provided in the law The state
rate, however, has remained practically
stationary. Only two reductions of 5
cents each have been made in the state
rate since the law was enacted in 1908.
This, it appears to me, is not keeping
strict faith with the county governments
for it was certainly implied, if not
expressly stated, that the state rate
should bereduced as we'll as the county
rates.
An overfiowing treasury is always an
incentive to extravaganza and should
not be encouraged. No more money
should be collected from the people
than is absolutely necessary to meet
the expenses of the government econom-
ically administered recommend a
material reduction in the state tax rate
for the years 19O9-191O."

Only few of the badges have been seen here. It consists of two pieces of brass, one suspended be- low the other. At the very top of the upper piece is the clock which is feature of all Elks' emblems. To the left is the elk s head and op- posite the head of a COW. The lat ter symbolizes the cattle industry of this. territory. The mining in dustry is represented by pick and goldIpanssandssthe farming interests by.numerous punches of grapes and other fruits.
 The most striking .featue of the lower section of the. badge is. the figure of an Indian in copper. About the redskins feet is cactus, signifying the thorny road Arizona has traversed toward statehood. In one hand the Indian holds star, which he is ready to place in one corner of the American flag before him. The letters B. P. o. E. are on the four sides of this part of the badge. signifying the .Elks coming from all parts of the territory, The badge is distinctly striking and the prediction is freely made that it will be the talk of the coun- try. It will be worn by all the ter ritorial Elks at the reunion and each lodge will also have distinct badge of its own.

TIME TO REFORM PRIMARY
SCHOOL FUND SYSTEM.

Religion. morality and knowledge
being necessary TO good government
and the happiness Of mankind, schools
and the means of education shall be
forever encouraged" This pronounce
ment back i'm the days when Michigan
was part Of the Northwest territory,
has served during all the years since
as the guide phrase I'm establishing and
fostering a system of common school
education i'm this state which has, be-
come standard in this country The
phrase was placed as the opening sec
ton in the article dealing with educa-
ton in the new constitution. that IL
might be preserved for future gener-
ations and continue TO serve as a
declaration Of principles which the
state proposed TO uphold.
The wisdom Of the state in Insisting
that the commonwealth should look
after the schools and not leave IT to
the districts to maintain weak ar good
schools as they pleased, no one doubts.
in carrying ont this plan the primary
school fund was necessary, adjunct.
furnishing the money by which the
state could make sure that no matter
how poor the district, the children
within It's confines should have the OPP
portunity To secure common school
education. Under the new taxation
laws. however, the primary school
fund has suddenly become unduly
plethoric and instead OF being an aid
TO "morality" and the "hapniness Of
mankind" il has become a menace TO
good government" declares the Lam
sing Republican. Many school dis
tricts have thousands OF dollars on
hand which cannot be spent. and this
fund simply serves as a temptation TO
