one of the questions before the sta tie
authorities. 1t is expected that when
the tax board takes up next week th-e
matter Of equalization of assessments
in counties the QUESTION will be gone
into. IL it is shown that the assess
ments in these counties is Just in
comparison with other counties. the
state department of education will
probably go into the matter of the
school enumeration
There is feeling about the state
house among those interested in the
finances of the state. that such counties
as Allen, st. Joseph, Vigo and Wander
burg. where there are extensive manu-
featuring interests and much wealth.
should be able to take care of their
schools without drawing on the state
at large for more money than they are
able to collect under the state school
tax. One official said:
1T is proper that the state should
aid the poorer counties. where the land
must be assessed comparatively low
and where there are no extensive
manufacturing interests to keep up
their schools, but without an investi-
cation of the actual conditions it would
seem that the rich counties ought to
support their own schools"

THE SCHOOL FUNDS
A vEXING QUESTION
An Attempt Will Probably
Be Made to Equalize
Apportionment.

1t is thought probable that before the
state board of tax commissioners com
pletes the work of the current assess
ment year. which will close some time
in August. some effort at cooperation
on the part of the board and the de-
partment of public instruction viii be
, attempted in an effort to do away with
discrepancies between the amount OF
money paid into the state school fund
by them under the law providing for
distribution of the fund on the basis
of the number of persons of school age
enumerated.
The report of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction concerning
the June distribution of the school
fund shows that the six larger coun-
ties Of the state, four received more
money from the fund that they paid
into it. The total excess in these cases
amounting to s31, s0O.4I was distributed
as follows: Allen county. s3.945.71: ST
Joseph county. sS.452.52; vanderburg
county si3.325.13; vigo county. &c.
o7L05.
Larger counties that paid in more
than they drew out We're Marion and
Lake. The former paid in s51 .036 80
more than it drew out, and the latter
s2,10S.e0 more than ii drew out
Whether the excess drawn out by
the four counties named is due to
faulty enumeration of the children of
school age, or to natural conditions is
