possibly, of real wish on the part
OF the board for such. but it is also
the best possible proof that the
board are by no means certain of
the legality of their present meth
DDS. and that it proves this point
beyond question is the one real
point oI merit developed by this
argument. and it is in marked CON
trast with the cocksure statements
published by the spokesman Of the
board in the Post.
We are not anxious certainly. TO
rush madly into lawsuits over this
question. but we want to make it
perfectly plain also to the Board
Of Education that we are not 60
ing to petition them for a legal as
%cSSment. DR.. GilfilIan 5 sugges-
ton that we do is not worthy Of
any consideration whatever. and
it will not receive any. The very
idea OF American citizens petition
ing any public body to obey the
law is simply laughable.
This is what we will do. how
ever; we will keep this matter agi-
tated until the next assessment, if
it is made lawfully, viz. the same
rates OF persons tax on all-all OF
evcryb0dy's personal property
and on stock and real estate as
usual. the opposition will become
the strongest hackers of the
board. But if the next assessment
is made like the LASTLY rule OF
thumb-guess and whim-we will
organize and fight.
SO now it is up to the board they
can choose between using then
position to fight the taxpayer, OF
to administrate the schools which
ever in their minds they should do
We should prefer TO have then
run the schools. but if they want tC
90 up against the opposition, w
will welcome them with such ;
show Of numbers as they littl,
suspect, and in the end they mus
rive MS what we are demanding
publicly and pcarrabiy now.
We want it distinctly under
stood that we are making no idl,
threats. we simply make state
mcnts. but we are willing to go #
good deal Of trouble. and SOM
, expense, to test the validity o
those statements. Tax.

In any event, shipments from it do not enter in to the problem of supporting the Copper River and Northwestern road. For that, as yet, orc from the Bonanza mine must be the main source of traffic. It was stated recently that the road was now earning it's operating eXpen- scs. It is difficult to sec how much more than that can be eX- pccted until more mines are de- rcloped, and, while prospecting is active at number of prop critics, it is but fair to say that the result is still far from cer- tain. The initial dividend of the kcnnicott Mines company is grat- flying, but Alaska still is far from flooding the copper market.-- Mining and Scientific Press.

Springfield Feb. ga decision
announced by the Illinois Supreme
court today, finding unconstitu-
tional the university appropriation
.bill' passed by the last General AS
sembly, threatens to upset iegisla-
tion in Illinois and may precipitate
a special session to correct any other
important measures whose constitu-
tionality is directly affected.
The decision was in the case OF
w. Il. Neiberger VS.. James s. Nc.
Cullough, auditor; f. f. Mitchell.
treasurer and the Board OF Trustees
of the University of Illinois. The
appeal was from the opinion Of
Judge Creighton Of the circuit court
of Sangamon county. who upheld
the constitutionaIity of the univer-
sity bill affecting comparatively
small appropriation for the maintc-
nance of the medical department.
Printing Neglected.
On this opinion, however hangs a
condition without precedent IN the
states history. The fight centered
on neglect of thes Legislature TO-
print the bill following adoption IN
conference and entering 1t as an
amendment on the journal. The
court today is unanimous In finding
that the bill should have been
printed, as the law specifies. but
Justices Carter and Dunn dissent as
to the finding that 1t should have
been entered In the journal.
AS result OF the courts finding
a crisis faces the state. It Is be-
lieved that automatically the treas
-urer and auditor will cease paying
out any of the states funds for any
purpose. Attorney General Stead
says the validity Of bills passed In
the last forty years is involved.
Among the most important measures
affected aret he incorporation act,
garnishment act, Jurors act, Aus
.tralian act, judicial apportionment.
senatorial appprtionment, primary
election act, banking act. game law
and appropriation laws.
Civil Service Law Upheld.
