SCHOOL REVENUE is HEAVY
Land Sales at Good Prices Help Re-
duce Educational Taxes.

duce Educational Taxes.
The sales Of state school lands this
year brought to the permanent school
fund of the state more than million
dollars and raised the permanent fund
to $9,477,57o. This is drawing inter-
est at and 6 per cent which goes
into the income fund for the schools
of the state, and with the rentals on
lands not yet sold is bringing rev.
enue which is already keeping some
of the schools of the state in exist
ence without local taxation More
over, it will increase with every year.
While the constitutional minimum
at which lands can be solo is $40 an
acre the average for this year of all
school lands sold was S4717 an acre
the state over. With two northern
counties out the average for the south
ern and eastern counties was $5470
an acre and in Codington the price
paid on one tract was $3.50 an acre,
or fifteen times the minimum.
| While the sales at prices so far
|
state a magnificent fund, which is
carefully safeguarded to prevent its
ever being frittered away, the great
bulk of the school lands yet under
lease is bringing in its share Of the
income which goes directly to reduce
taxation for the maintenance of the
public schools.
This fund is hard to estimate as a
separate item at this time of the year,
as many counties have not yet made
their returns, and large fund comes

coming to the department from this
source shows that under the new sys-

bond issue for school building. Even
as it is, with the old and the new
building, the accommodation are to,
meagre.
These facts cannot be denied. They
are known of all men. They are mat
tiers of public record.
If they were so impractical then
in such a vital matter as that what
reason have you to believe they
are not equally impractical now!
They shouted almost as loud
ly to tear down the Furlow school
building and use your bond money to
put up building with smaller accom-
modations as they are, now shouting
to TEAR DOWN THE EXISTING
ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT AND
USE YOUR MONEY TO PUT UP A
SMALL Err INFERIOR ONE.
Are they safe leaders? They surely
should have known something about
the school proposition. They showed
their incapacity then. What can they
be expected to do in a matter in
volving something they know nothing
about?
Men may be conscientious in Their
beliefs and at the same time be hope
lessly ignorant, hopelessly impracti-
cal absolutely unsafe as leaders.
1t is not question as to whether
these leaders are sincere. 1t is a
question as to whether they are mis-
guided, unreliable, engaged IN A
PROJECT EQUALLY AS IMPRAC-
TICAL AS THEY WERE WHEN
THEY SOUGHT TO REDUCE THE
SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS AND
USE THE BOND MONEY TO NJ
PURPOSE.

plant, with a plant whose rates and
service are not subject to revision and
regulation by the state railroad COM
mission as are those of the private
plant now here, and with absolutely
no guarantee that you will get cheap
er rates than the commission forces
a private corporation to supply cleo
tricity for.
You are asked to vote $4,000 for
these local experts, to vote the last
dollar of bonds Americas can issue,
to spend the last dollar available for
years to come, for a plant much in
ferior to the one you already have, to
give you a poorer service, and, in all
likelihood, with absolutely no guar
antee that you will get lights cheaper.
Are not these statements all true
Are the leaders practical?
Look back a matter of two years.
Consider the public record of two
leaders of this movement, aside from
all personalities
Did not two of the chief leaders OF
this municipal lighting plant move
ment, backed by others now instigat-
ing this bond issue, urge and seek to
force through council a plan to tear
down the Furlow High School build
ing and to use the bond money you
had provided, in the erection there OF
school building that ACTUALLY
HAD LESS ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
THE CHILDREN THAN THE OH
ONE
Suppose you had followed these
men then. Suppose you had taken
their advice?
Today you would be either renting
rooms for your children or two hun
dred or more of them would be on the
streets, deprived of an opportunity to
attend school, and you would be fac
ing the necessity of another large

utterances, of men who know abso-
| lutely nothing about the electric bus
mess? Men, who, despite their clam
or, have never presented any adequate
evidence that they know what they
I are talking about?
Ask yourself if this is not true, if
every statement made in this open let
ter is not true
Then think of the estimates they
have made
Two years ago they told you bond
issue of $4,000 was adequate. They
knew all about it then, just as they
know all about it now. You recall that
they forced a bond election for that
amount and lost it.
Now they insist that they can sup
: ply plant and service for $4,000 and
ask for that issue of bonds.
Were they right two years ago
Are they right now? Have you any
assurance that they were then or that
they are now?
They went to Atlanta before the
railroad commission sitting as judges,
and presented a carefully prepare
statement, which represented their
complete and final judgment as to the
value of the existing plants, the gas
works, the old electric and the new
electric plants, and their entire out
side service, extending to all parts OF
the city.
They gravely told the railroad COM
mission that the entire valuation was
$4,000. They paraded that statement
before the public of Americas.
They brought a young electrician
here from Atlanta to further mislead
you, a few days ago. He devoted
THREE HOURS to a complete study
of the three plants and the entire ser.
vice throughout the city.
At public meeting called by the
municipal lighting plant advocates b.
presented his estimate. 1t was nearly
$4,000.
Is not this a further evidence of ig
norance on the part of those seekine
to lead you into this experiment?
The state railroad commission, hav
ing no faith in partisan and manifest
ly biased reports, sent an expert O
Its own here. 1t took him FIVE
DAYS to do what the city electrician
of Atlanta did in THREE HOURS
and then it took him FOUR DAYS t,
consider his data and prepare a re
port for the commission.
His report will soon be presented t.
the public.
Which will you believe, the city en-
gineer, who knows little as to gas anC
electricity and who is not in a posi-
ton to make an intelligent estimate
and who made the valuation of S76
600, or the Atlanta city electrician
who knew it all in three hours ant
made an estimate of $4,000, or the
expert sent by the state commission
who gave nine days to the considera
ton of the question?
