1.-THE whole theory of the rivers ana

work of rebuilding and equfppfng these
schools. Although thezschoo4 funds were re-
duced, the school u1ationINCREASED.
For the year ending Junea30, 1893, under
Hon. w. N. Sheats, Superirrtendentaof Public
Instruction of A1ac1rtra county, the assessed
valuation of the, county was $4,380,138, while
ten years later, June 30, 1908, under VIM M.
Holloway, IN the same office. the assessedvak
uation of A1achra county was $4,301518 or
$40, $40 less, showing that although SEVEN
YEARS HAD ELAPSED SINCE the
FREEZE and CYCLONE had occurred, the
county's taxable valuation had not yet
REACHED the AMOUNT of TEN years
BEFORE.
The school population had INCREASED.
June 80, 1893, It was $3.50, with average daily
attendance of 1888 while under Mr.. Hoflo-
way, ten years later, the total enrolment was
6,S03, greater by 1,120, and the average daily
attendance was .5047, which was [ 254 MORE

ton would. IN my Judgment, create
complications which would defeat our
entire endeavor.
1.-THE whole machinery with refer
ence to the issuance Of bonds, collec-
ton and payment Of interest and prfn-
cipa1 thereof should be state Iegtsla-
ton resting upon the power of taxa
ton of the state. or the power of as
sessment for local Improvement. The
national government has neither Of
these powers within the state; it has
no powers within the state as SOW
ereign. Its powers with reference TO
public domain are those Of proprietor
and not of sovereign, and that is the
principle underlying the reclamation
act which has accomplished tbs ma
tional trriagtion of the and lands OF
the west, and II Is the lack Of this
proprietorshtp which I believe would
prevent the enactment and carrying
out of drainage law similar to the
reclamation law.
Therefore, as the national govern
ment has no powers in the state as
sovereign, l believe an effort to get
the. national government to make ap-
propria tons to directly reclaim spec-
fc lands neither with or without a
proviso that the money is to be repaid,
would not succeed. The government,
