The School Laws.

&AS SsA0eA [RN"es
The Message acknowledges the
receipt of a copy of the late new
school laws from State Superin-
tendent of Schools, Howard A.
Gass.
Mr.. Gass calls our attention toI
a few points in the new laws
which everybody should have in
mind next Tuesday at the school
elections to be held over the
county. One requirement is that
every district in the State shall
maintain an eight months school
term if levy of forty cents on
the hundred dollars valuation,
unless the assessment Of
"a less amount, tog G t h e r
with the cash on hand
and penalty for failure to comply
with this requirement is forfeit
ture of the district organization.
The same section provides that
any district with fewer than
twenty-five children may arrange
from year to year for transport
ing children 10 other districts,
paying tuition and transportation
out of district funds.
Another provision is THAT no
school district which fails to levy
a tax of forty cents on the hun
bred dollars assessed valuation.
unless the assessment of a less
amount. together with moneys
received from public funds, shall
amount to three hundred and
fifty dollars for school purposes
(teachers and incidentally shall
receive any part of the public
moneys" The same section pro-
videS that no district failing 10
maintain an eight months term,
if a levy of forty cents together
with the public funds is sufficient
therefor. shall be entitled to any
of the public funds. Every dis
trict in the state must make
levy of 40c, unless a smaller levy
will produce $4,000.
Section 1OS46 provides that any
district in the state with not less
than 9 square miles of territory,
with an assessed valuation OF
forty thousand dollars or less,
and that has an enumeration of at
least twenty-five pupils, may re-
ceiye sufficient money from the
state to enable it to maintain all
eight months school term provid-
ed it levieS sixty-five cents for
school purposes.
Section 1OS61 provides that the
teachers wages for the last
month can not be paid until term
reports have been filed with the
clerk of the board and county
superintendent.

Serelda said she had jul
larker (sweetheart) out in the
brush, and she warned the soldiers
not to shoot him.
The scout suggested that he
had likely been in the brush tin
the wood ticks had got all his
blood and as winter was coming
on if he would come to the camp
at Mexico he would be treated
well.
From this interview Lieutenant
Eubanks was satisfied there was a
Confederate camp somewhere in
that section and SO reported to
the Captain But it was like hume

were ordered back to Mexico. BY

was proved that Lawrence \.
Hudson. especially well kOnwn in
the Lick Creek country of this
county, had broken thru the
picket lines at Mexico and going
on a "bum," had gone out to the
Medley home. Arriving there
about sun up he ordered his
breakfast and then claiming to
Mr.. Medley that some one had
shot at him from back of the
smoke house he ordered it burned
and then he compelled Mr.. Med
ley to follow him back to Mexico.
Both told their stories at head
quarters and Medley was believed
rather than Hudson, and Hudson
landed in the guard house and
Medley was freed.

MAY TAKE THE BROWNE
JOB TO SUPREME COURT
IF SUIT IS WON CONTRACTOR WILL HAVE TO
PAY COST OF WORK-WAGE CLAUSE
AT ISSUE.

who is doing the Brownies addition
work, is a clause which provides
that workmen on this improvement
shall be paid So per day and shall
work but eight hours.
This clause is one of the princi-
pal points raised by the litigants
who seek to invalidate the assess
ment. 1t is not because they OBJ
ject to good wages being paid, that
protest is being entered, but upon
the point that if the city has pow
er to enforce a SO wage and an
eight-hOur day on a public improve
ment, it would also have the pow
er to insist upon an an So wage
and three-hour day, thus impos.
ing an increased cost upon prop.
erty owners.
Upon this point, attorneys for
the parties back of the suit, cite
the decision of the court of appeals
Of the state of New York, in the
case of the People VS.. Coler (at
tnat time comptroller of New York
City in which the question in
volved was practically the same as
in the Brownies addition case. In
rendering his decision in this case,
Judge O'Brien of the appeals court
said:
when the expense of an i'm.
provement is enlarged beyond ac.
tual and reasonable cost under or.
(the local property owners) prop
binary business conditions, their
erty is taken without due process
of law"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-11-05

If the suit started by Mrs. Vir-
ginia Winston and others, attack
ing the validity of the assessment
on the Brownies addition paving
district, proves successful, it may
have the startling result that the
bondhoIders and the contractors on
the work will have to stand the ex-
pense of the immense amount Of
paving now being done in the dis
trict, and the city and the property
owners will secure the improve
ment free of cost.
At least that is the opinion ex-
pressed by Attorney Alex Winston,
whose mother is one of the princi-
pals in pressing the action, and
Mr. Winston does not hesitate to
declare that he confidently expects
that the suit will be won, and the
assessment invalidated.
1t is the expectation of the par
ties behind this suit, that the mat
ter will have to be taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States
before a final decision is rendered,
and in this event it will be the first
time that the highest court of the
land will be called upon to render
decision upon the legality of a
city's inserting in contract for
any Improvement a clause regulat-
ing the wages to be paid by the
contractors, and the number of
hours to be worked daily by the
workmen employed.
