A DEFENCE OF LOCAL SCHOOL
TAXATION.

Dear Mr.. Watson: will you let
me have just little claw" with DR..
Andrews on the subject of local
school taxation?
Doctor, when a people are beset
by an evil and they are doing the best
they know how to arrest it, it's bad
manners to condemn their actions,
lest you offer them something better.
And this is just what you have done.
Now, I take it for granted that you
are in favor of education (for the
white race, at least-though you
were not exactly clear, but opposed
to getting it by local taxation. So,
if you are in favor of a better school
system for the white children of the
South, it will be very interesting to
good many Southern communities if
you'll explain just how this can be
done, except by local taxation? Also,
it will be interesting to explain how
local taxation ruined your rural
schools; for I'm sure it will be some
thing "new under the SUM-"
Doctor, here are two facts in favor

LOCAL SCHOOL TAX IN RAN
DOLPH COUNTY-AN OPEN
LETTER.

G. r. Rodgers have no fight to
make on your system Of local school
tax in bearing school district. It is
Randolph's system of local school tax
that I have unsheathed my popgun to
contest.
AS I am sick this morning, I will
be short and pointed.
From the inauguration of public
schools in Randolph county up to
1908 or 1904 the public term was
five months. There were thirty-tight
white teachers and thirty-one negro
teachers. Number of white schools
twenty-five, number of negro schools
twenty-four; about the number en-
rolled of whites 1,481, of negroes
2,165.
The teachers salaries were for
white $4,000, negroes $500, per
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-06-16

more than if they only teach five or
six months. So, you see, our rural
schools are single rooms and can only
run five or six months So the teach
ers in towns and villages get double
the salary of our rural teachers, al
though our rural teachers may have
most work to do.
Meanwhile there has been a negro
college built in Cuthbert, known as
the Howard Normal School.
[ have not been able to find out
how much of the school tax money
went toward building said college,

FOR LOCAL TAXATION.

Dear Mr.. WatsOn:-Will you give
me space to tell your many readers
of our experience with local tax in
Hart county? Most of the schools
in this county have local tax, it was
voted in by each district. Three
years ago the schools of this county
were standing at the foot of the lad
der, now Hart is standing near the
top Local tax is the means by which
they have f1ourished.
Our children complete a grade in
each term of six months, as high as
the 9TH grade, and it takes little
longer for the higher grades to COM
plete. We have no summer term in
most of the schools. Where we have
local tax for the school district. we
have two teachers from beginning to
close Of the school, and where the
school district has no local tax only
one teacher to manage seven or eight
grades. You see, a child in the old
time school had no showing at all
compared with the graded system
and new methods Mr. Editor, the
negro is not in it, when we come to
local tax. In Gold Mine school dis
trict. of which I am a citizen, the ne

about IS. and since then it is so
small it is not collected from him
You see, he gets only the State
money; the whites are not taxed to
pay his, the negros, schooling You
see this is the way to manage the
negro. / agree with you in the policy
of taxing the whites to pay for the
Negroes schooling. 1t is not right for.
US to school the negroes, for when
negro gets an education he feels he
is above work.
So, Mr.. Watson, our school, just
closed, is the best school, in many
respects, Gold Mine has experienced.
Our people are looking up in the way
of advancement in every line of bust
ness. Since we have local tax in
our community land has advanced
more than fifty per cent, and we are
having to come to our community
desirable tenants.
Yours truly, w. M. BRYAN.
ROystOn, Ga.
Comment: Hart county is a white
mans county, few negroes own land.
It is divided into small holdings,
therefore tax operates more equita-
bly, than in some South Georgia
counties where a handful of white
men own land and the great majority
of inhabitants are negroes.
In many of those South Georgia
counties local taxation for school
purposes would soon mean that white
land owners would have to furnish
education to black mems children.

Secretary Jones, Of the Georgia
State Sanitarium, Milledgeville, Ca,
says: when I see the wonderful
work Miss Lillian Macarthur does as
a stenographer, I am not surprised
that the Georgia-Alabama Business
College has so many calls for it's stu
dents. Miss Macarthur was sent to us
by that College recently, and l was SO
impressed with her speed that L
timed her on one occasion. She
wrote, in her regular daily business,
165 words per minute in shorthand
and Immediately turned to the type
writer and transcribed her notes at
the rate of Sc words per minute She
is one of the finest stenographers I
ever saw"

month, Of which the State paid 80
cents per pupil and we supplemented
40 cents per pupil.
In November, 1904, Randolphs
share in the felony convict fund was
given to the schools, which extended
a term to six months. The same
teachers salaries prevailed, and each
rural school supplemented the salary
$1,000 to $500 per month Ct mean
the white schools), and nobody made
any serious complaint.
Thus, schools continued up to
June, 1906.
Meanwhile the urban schools of
Randolph county were operated nine
months in the year, fostered by a
municipal taxation. Thus we white
taxpayers paid a strictly local school
tax for the white children of each
school in the county. The negroes
did not share any of that tax No
complaint at this system of local
school tax by the country people.
Now, the urban people, knowing
that about eight-tenths of the taxable
property Of Randolph county lies out
side of the towns and cities. (Many
of it's proprietors reside in the towns,
but the property itself lies in the
country.)
School officers, tax officers and ur-
ban people, mostly, who own no prop
erty in the country, agitated a gen.
eral local school tax for the county,
which would shift the burden of local
school tax off them and on to the
rural taxpayers to tote.
So the election was held, 1906; the
local tax won. 1t was voted in not by
those who pay most of the tax, but
mostly by non-taxpayers, with the
help of the negro vote.
Now, we have had local school tax
for Randolph county four years.
Four years ago we had twenty-five
white schools in Randolph Seven
rural schools of them have been abol-
ished.
We are taxed to run nine months
schools. The rural only runs from
five to six months, and our teachers
only get $4,000 to $4,000 per month,
same as before the local tax.
I don't know what goes with the
other three months each year we are
taxed for and don't get.
I can't find out just how much the
State pays, and just how much is paid
in by local school tax.
The board of education has used
our tax money, and contributed it
largely to building and equipping
large, costly, several roomed school
houses, in all of our towns and vii
lagos, and pay the teachers about
$500 to $4,000 more per month
than they do the teachers in the rural
schools.
And pay all teachers in two or
more room house $500 more per
month than those teaching in sin
gle room house. And if they are
teaching nine months school $500

Still a Live Issue

of local school taxation which I fear
you will find rather difficult to eX-
plain away: First, there is not a sim
gle case on record of a community,
after having tried local taxation, re-
pealing the law. Second. as a general
thing, educated people of all classes
and financial conditions are in favor
of local school taxation. It is the il
literates that oppose taxation for
schools. 1t is the irony Of Fate that
ignorance begets ignorance. The less
a man knows, the less he wants to
know or wants anybody else to know.
Now, doctor, as for the eternal
Niger" let's look at the subject from
common sense viewpoint. You
know that the negro's soul and mind
are not capable of as high a state of
development as the white mans; that
the illiterate white man and the il
literate negro are much nearer to-
gether Intellectually, morally. and,
consequently, socially than the two
races are when both are educated.
And that in educating both races you
raise the white man much farther
above the negro than he was when
they we're both illiterate. So you see,
doctor, it stands to common sense
that one does not have to be fanatic
on the subject of negro education to
favor educating the blacks. if the
whites cannot be educated without
doing so.
Now, DOCTOR what I know, I do
know. And it's this: After five
years trial of local school taxation
my community wouldn't part with it
with the many fold benefit it con-
fers on us) for love nor money. For
sooth, if our school should be sud-
denly suppressed the whole country
side would go into mourning. Yes,
i've years ago our community came
to realize that we were sadly in need
of better school system. And, none
of us being SO wise as to be onto
your unexplained method of better
ing it, save by voting local taxation,
we did so. We consolidated with an
adjoining district, voted sufficient
taxation to build large academy
and maintain a six months up-to-
date school. And it has given such
entire satisfaction that all the origi-
nal opposition to it has completely
disappeared. And as for the ne
groes, of course they get better
schooling than formerly. But their
term is not SO long as the whites, nor
is their per cent of attendance as
high.
And it was the niggers and sorry
whites voted it onto us, did you say?
Not hardly Niggers don't vote in
North Carolina (and was under the
impression they didn't vote in Geor-
gia) And it was the il1iterato white
tenants, with eight and ten young
sters to the family, that gave the
major part of the opposition. While,
against this, the strongest advocates
of the taxation were childless land
owners.

WADE CALDWELL.
