The act of 1908, providing for
second entries, has no retroactive
effect which will operate to cure a
defective right based upon a claim
of prior settlement and at the same
time cut off and defeat the asser-
ton of a superior adverse claim. In
other words, one disqualified TO in
itate a valid settlement right cannot
claim the privilege of having his
status as an entryman determined as
of the date of his application TO pro-
tect such invalid settlement right.
The right will only be protected
from the date the impeachment to its
initiation is removed. and the right
attached.

]. I. SCHOOLS NOW
Suggested by the Federal
Government to Keep UP
ri Farm Life.
TEACHERS HOLD OUT
City Life as Ideal and Cause
Boys and Girls to Flock
to the City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
Running directly counter to the
back-to-the-soil'r movement, rural
school teachers are an actual force
in the depopulat.on of the country
districts. They set the faces Of
cuntry boys and girls toward the
city, and by idealizing city life they
induce a movement toward the CEN
tiers of population that often de-
prives the country village Of its best
citizens. This declaration is made
by DR.. Fired Mutchelr and w. J..
Craig, two members of the faculty
of the Western Kentucky State Nor
NAL School, in a monograph which
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton has just published for free dis
tribution.
The tendency of the rural school
to encourage emigration to the city,
says the government publication, is
in consequence of the fact that the
course of study in most rural schools
is merely a copy of that given 20
city school children, without refer
ence to the different environment
and local needs of the country child.
AS the result of giving the country
child an education modelled on city
lines, the authors declare that
teachers everywhere, with rare ex.
ceptions, have idealized city life, and
unwittingly have been potent factors
in inducing young men and women
to leave the farm and move into the
city. The movement often carries
some of the best blood and brain OF
the community into the city. often
to be lost, wasted or destroyed;
certainly to be lost from the rural
community. 1t is possible and right,
indeed duty, to dignity rural life
and to save 1t and its interests the
best blood of the country.
"The rural school has not the In
fluence that it should have. One
of the chief reasons lies in the fact
that the course of study is ILL
adapted to rural life in all Its rela-
tons.
I'VE are united in believing that
school train its pupils for life and
its work while these pupils are liv-
ing and working. The course OF
study taught in the rural school to-
day is entirely too much like the
course that is taught in the city
school; in fact it has been modelet
to fit the needs of the latter without

OF SMITH CASE

the sheriff gets that commission ON
road taxes"
The sheriffs raised the question
that Section g.. Chapter Is, Acts of
1905, was replaced by Section 81,
Chapter So, Acts OF 1909. The court
holds that 1t. did. not and contends
the acts are on different subjects.
The one has for its purpose of fixing
commissions Of sherifrs on money
coming into his hands from taxes,
while the other does not fix com
missions, but deals with what the
sheriff shall retain of his emolu-
ments from all sources, etc.
Il think the statute plain, and it
is only matter of obeying its
plain letter to execute its plain in
tent" says President Brannon in
his opinion I'VE can not put into
the statute wha is not there.
Therefore the sheriff is required to
pay the county treasury fifteen per
cent on commissions on taxes. Ev-
erything that is fee is counted in
the taxable sum-; fees are those sums
fixed by law. Allowances are those
made under the discretion of court,
not fixed, as for instance, the rea-
sonable compensation for financial
statement under Code of 1906, Chap
ter SO, Section 50. They are not
allowances. Allowance is where the
court must make an order fixing the
amount.l The sheriff pays the tax
OF fifteen per cent on gross income,
except salaries and county court al
tlowances, IL any. But by a proviso
of the statute if the imposition of
the tax would leave him less than
the minimum sum, prescribed by the
statute, he is entitled to retain up
to that sum, though the treasury
may not get that per cent, and 1t
gets what is left over that sum"
The Kanawha circuit court was
reversed in part and affirmed in
part in the above opinion.
