priated rs per cent of the gross re-
ceipts of the state for school pur-
poses and that rs per cent was then
apportioned among the various
funds, viz: High School, Common
School, Library, County Superin-
'tendents, etc. Recently a bill was
introduced to increase that appro-
priation from rs to 33B per cent of
the gross receipts. This is a pet
measure gotten UP by the school
officers of the state and is calculat-
ed to help them more than it is the
bare footed boy or girl who wades
the snow and mud from one to three
miles each morning and evening
trying to get an education. There
is too much tendency toward CEN
tralization of the schools. We need
High Schools, that is, we will need
High Schools when we get Low
Schools of sufficient length of term
in each community so that the poor
er people will get the benefit of
them. We are spending too much
money now each year for the school
term to be so short, and if a remedy
is not found and applied it will not
be long until there will be a revolt
by those who bear the burdens of
taxation on the one hand and those
who are striving to educate their
children on the other. Nobody will
complain at high school tax if
they get something for what they
pay, but they will, and are COM
planning that the money now being
spent for school purposes, even in
this county, is several thousand
dollars in excess of what it was five
years ago and the terms of school
have not heightened proportion.

A SiIo Pays With Three Cows.

My experience is that 1t pays
to have a silo for three or more
cows.
have silo seven feet in d.
ameter and twenty-six feet high,
| keep three cows and feed the
silage fast enough to keep il
sweet.
A silo of small diameter must
have a heighth of about foul
times the diameter to get sutfici.
ent weight of silage to pack 1t
firmly, thereby insuring silage OF
good quality.
By all means build q silo for
three or mere cows, as there is nc
other method of feeding cows SC

WE see from the daily press that
our hoterial representative, A. l..
Garrison, has introduced a bill in
the legislature to exempt from taxa
ton all lease hold estates and i'm
provements inside the Assembly
grounds at Monteagle. We would
like for Mr.. Garrison to tell the
other tax payers of the county why
those who happen to own property
within certain boundary at Mont
eagle are more entitled to special
privileges than those who reside
outside of it. The Monteagle Sun
day School Assembly and all its
property, improved and unimprov.
ed, is already exempt from taxes
but the property it has leased to in
dividuals for a term of 90 years is
equivalent to sale, the Assembly
having parted with the title, ant
the vendees are as much entitled tt
pay taxes upon their property as any
other person is to pay taxes
upon his farm and dwelling house
The bill is hard lick to the tas
payers of Grundy county and no
directly in the interest of any religi
GUS or educational institution. 1
is an unfair discrimination in favo
of few and ought to be combattet
by every man who believes i'll thu
good old democratic doctrine o
equal rights to all and specia
privileges to none"
