In the Circuit Court of Kinds
county Judge Henry held that
the law imposing a privilege tax
on automobiles was unconstitu-
tional. The state will appeal the
case to the supreme court. The
tax has been collected on many
hundreds of cars and turned into
the state treasury. Should the
supreme court hold that the law
is unconstitutional the owners of
the cars paid on will have no
way of getting their money re-
funded except a bill through the
legislature making a special ap-
preparation for that purpose.
This the Legislature will be slow
to do. At one time there was a
law taxing drummers. The law
was declared unconstitutional and
several bills were introduced in
the legislature making an appro.
priation for refunding the
amounts collected but no legis
lature ever passed one.

COURSES OF STUDY.

Superintendent Windham of
our public schools is at work on
courses of study for the ensuing
session that will vary from the
present curriculum in that a pu-
pill after leaving the grammar
school will have the choice of
several courses that can be pur-
sued through the high school.
Our curriculum requires some
elasticity, as it is impossible to
interest and educate every pupil
in the same line. Some requires
a business course and others a
course that would fit them for
the professions. When leaving
the grammar school the pupil
should then be given the option
of choosing between two or more
courses. Of course, the funda-
mentals, mathematics and Eng
lish will remain a part of the
curriculum through all the
grades.
The public school curriculum
has at all times been arbitrarily
followed and has failed to meet
all of the requirements of the
masses. The course should be
changed and permit a pupil some
option in deciding the character
of education he prefers. The
course in our graded schools next
session will be so arranged that
each pupil after leaving the
grammar school may select q
line in keeping with his or her
taste and pursue it through the
various grades and receive a di-
ploma.

One of the really printable
ones comes from a Methodist
pastor in Columbus: "A friend
of mine conceived the idea that
the presiding elder was preju-
diced against him-this was many
years ago. My friend had been
shifted to a small and scattered
settlement and he felt that he
should have been sent to a more
prominent position. | reminded
him that he should not be dissat-
isfied. Brother" | said, you
should pray that you might see
the hand of the Lord in your ap-
pointment to the church." Il
have brother, he replied, a little
bitterly. Time and again |

might see his hand in it-but

THE slxTY-THlRD CONGRESS.

THE SIxTY-THiRD CONGRESS-.
On Monday the Sixty-third
Congress assembled and for the
first time in many years it is
democratic in both Houses. The
democrats proceeded to organize
the House by the election OF
Champ Clark as Speaker.
Among the first bills introduce
ed was the new tariff bill, which
has just been completed by the
Ways and Means Committee,
headed by Oscar w. Underwood
of Alabama, and endorsed by
President Wilson. This measure
is intended to reverse existing
conditions and to raise sufficient
revenue to run the government
without imposing unnecessary
hardships upon the people. The
bill takes the tariff off of the
necessaries of life and places it
upon those articles which are
considered more of luxuries.
The bill places the following ne
cessities on the free list:
Beef, mutton. pork, veal, hams
and bacons, flour. lard, milk,
cream, breadstuffs, salt fish,
potatoes, hogs on the hoof, coal,
coke, shoes, leather, lumber, cot
ton ties and bagging, wool, barb
ed wire, steel rails, iron ore, ag-
ricultural implements, gloves.
On other articles which have
been greatly reduced are many
items that go to add to the COM
forts of the people. Heretofore
the manufacturer has derived
great profits from a protective
tariff, and under the new meas
ure the items mentioned will be
purchased at greatly reduced
prices. On these articles there
has been a heavy cut in the tar
iff:
Wooden manufactures. yarn,
reduced from 70 to 20 per cent
ad valorem; blankets, from u to
rs; fannels, from SO to Is; dress
goods. from SO to 35; ready-made
clothing, from 70 to 35; carpets,
from 80 to IS; spool cotton, from
% to Is; cotton cloth, from AZ to
26; clothing, from so to 30; COL
lars and cuffs, from GA to 25;
handkerchiefs, from So to 30;
hosiery from 70 to so; gloves,
from 80 to IS; underwear, from
60 to Is.
To derive sficient revenue to
make up for the losses sustained
to the government by changing
the rates the democrats propose
to raise about one hundred mil
lion dollars from the income tax
law. The bill to raise revenue
provides that all incomes oyer
81, 900 will be taxed according to
their grade.
