EXTRA CHARGE NOT REPORTED.
Some time ago the railway CON-
over all the telephone companies op-
Grating in the state, requested the
telephone company operating in Bis
marck to report the matter Of the
25 cent rebate charge. This item
has been added to the local patrons
monthly bill for some time but has
never been reported to the commits
sion. If the matter was entirely
within the bounds of the corporate
laws of the state the telephone COM
oany probably would not hesitate in
making a showing in that respect.
Eventually all telephone companies
will be required to discontinue that
item of charges,

trict, and too, one having consider
able experience in the School Trustee
line, | would like to make few
remarks on the situation. To a cas-
ual observer it might appear that the
Bethel School is getting the lions

the case? Let us see Bethel is

having a graded or high school. The

the purpose. So as soon as the trus-

IuftOr Tnc Da;iy ,joGl.
Please allow me space in which to
reply to the article from Mr.. j. Nj.
Kolb. in your issue of the 18th.
Mr.. Kolb charges me with false and
misleading statements. l said that
the Bethel school had absorbed the
Privateer school funds. Here are the
figures:
Privateer school fund last
session from all sources $4.357.37
Privateer spent for school
purposes last session. .S4,355.S2

ate last session.. :. .$1,SSO.OO
Four white and six col
ored schools cost. . . $2475S2
Before the Bethel school was built
the township had on hand at the be-
ginning of the session $2.9S5.55, 1t
has now at the close of the third Ses-
sion Sl.55. So far as / am able to
find out all OF the other schools have
not cost over $4,000 outside. of teach
ers salary and none of the salaries
have been increased except Proyi-
dence which got $4,000 more last
session and the school at Stone was
discontinued. Where has this mon
ey gone il Bethel did not get it?
These figures prove my statement
without any comment and had Mr..
kolb criticised my article only. this
would have been sufficient. but he
criticised me personally and said
that made false and misleading
statements. literally lied, So as ne
has left SO many places for criticism

many people would be glad to give

mules to do and some people would
be glad to get employment for theirs

the patrons of the Bethel school pay
their full share of the taxes. Well
what about that? Do not all Of the
people in Privateer pay their fun
share of taxes also? / have not heard
of any one getting discount or get

be remembered that two Of the three
members of the township board live

probability find some figures on this
subject not at all to his liking. He
claims the A. &. l.. railroad tax for
the Bethel school. by what method Of
computation" The taxes paid on
their track south of Mr.. Osteen's mill

by justice, so that Bethel cannot claim
more than hve-eighths of that tax.

impression is that Mr. Wilson paws

the contrary. Mr. Kolb says that
the Bethel school is three schools
combined" There are five others.
He says that "Bethel has one-halr Of
the pupils" The records show 1O7
pupils at Bethel, the other four
schools that were run last year had "A
