ORPHANS HOME RATES RAISED

The Orphans home Board has
made an order to the effect that
on and after July. 1911. the rate
charged all children now in the
home, other than full orphans.
shall be $l6 per month for one
child Of a family and in case Of
two or more from the same
family. the rate shall be $3.50
each per month; and that these
rates shall apply on and after
April l. 1911. for all new children
admitted to the home other than
full orphans.
Notice of this order has been
sent to the hoard of commissioners
Of each county for their guidance
in dealing with dependent children.
The Carson Appeal in discussing
this action Of the Orphans Home
Board says:
There is no letter Of explanation
on the part Of the State Board to
the county commissioners. 1t is
practically a horizontal raise. and
no excuse offered for such an
advancement in the price Of main
tenance on the part of the counties
for their orphaned children.
The old rate established for
many years in this state has been
SIS per child. This. with the APP
preparation subscribed by the state
has kept the children in good con-
dition. and fed and clothed them
well. Why should this double raise
be added to the people? Each and
evry county in the state supplies
the state treasury with 60 cents
on the dollar Of taxation that comes
in. This sum is furnished by the
counties to carry on state insti-
tutions and pay the salaries of the
state officers and commissions. The
legislature provides sum sufficient
to take care Of the insane and
erin inal element. On the other
hand it has demanded a small
amount from each county for the
orphaned children, the most
dependent and worthy trust that
this state has In charge. If there
were not money enough appropri-
ated by the legislature it is because
the Board did not ask for it.
Under the new rule the counties
are asked ito dig up a double
taxation. The counties set aside
the necessary 80 cents on the dol.
lar for state purposes. now the
Board Of Orphans Home directors
ask the Same counties to pay q
double tax to keep the orphaned
children.
In this comfy last year, paying
at the rate Of IS per child. the sum
Of $963.3o was paid into the
Orphans fund. Under the proposed
raise as ordered by the board, 1t
will cost this county $3.50. Some
Of the big counties will have to set
a new assessment valuation to meet
this extra expense. How Ormsby
county can possibly meet this is
questioned. The county commits
sioners will In ell likelihood fight
the raise, and they should do it to
the last ditch.
The counties are not double
taxed to maintain the Asylum or
the prison nor should they be to
keep the dependent children where
they can grow to usefulness. The
Appeal believes that the various
counties should get together and
frame q protest.
1t has been stated that the
object Of the move is to make the
people who use the home as con-
venence take their children away.
At the same time 1t hits just
cause hard blow and the matter
shou Id be reconstructed before II
goes any further.
