VOL. xxxvIII
School Taxes and Property Values.


Editor Colfd1 Chronicle:
There is no calculation that can be
made that can estimate properly the
value of good high school 10 the town
of Colfax and community. The value
of good schools is being recognized at
this particular time in Louisiana be-
cause the State needs to encourage
settlers from other States. The set
tiers that we want are the experienced
young farmers of families, and who
have adequate means, from the north
and east But this desirable class of
citizens, being accustomed to good
schools will not settle where good
schools are not provided.
Colfax must sooner or later depend
upon her agricultural resources. We
need now, and badly, the small farmer
with the ready cash to finance his un-
dertakings. We have lots of good land
about Colfax, and the future of Colfax
depends on the proper development of
this land.
The small farmer is our only saliva
ton, but we will have hard time in
ducing him to cast his lot with US when
he learns that we have no room in our
school for our own children much the
less for his.
Other Louisiana towns are bidding
for and receiving this class of farmers.
They have learned that the first ques-
ton they ask is in regard to the school
facilities. and this is quite natural. for
they come from States where a COM
munity without good schools is associ-
ated with things undesirable.
Canada opened up her territory along
our northern border, built schools and
churches and roads and invited our
farmers of the middle west to come
over. And they went and continue to
60 at the rate of 10000 year, carry
ing an average of 81, coo each with them
government report). Land companies
in this State are doing the same thing |
and find that it pays.
Shrewd business men put their money
into school buildings because it pays.
They know. because they have proven
it time and again, that the appreciation
in the value of real estate pays large
returns on the investment and this, too,
where the increase in real estate values
is the only return they get.
A community is nothing more than
a company where each property owner
is share holder. Then if companies
can afford to build school houses, (and
they always build good ones,) certain
ly the share holders who are the tax
payers can well afford to put money in
to modern school building when they
need the building for their own chill
dren.
The transient population of Colfax
due to the presence of the mills, is only
100 of the total population, the other
800 is composed of the business men
and planter class. The mill population
must leave sooner or later Let us pre-
pare to replace them with the kind of
mentioned above. Let us build
a school that Colfax can be proud of
and then let the school authorities ad-
vertise the school,

THE OPEN FORUM.
Secular League Does Not Indorse At
tack on Associated Charities.

Editor OF the Washington Herald: In or
der to correct an erroneous impression
which may have been given by the
headings appearing over your report in
the Herald OF December Il OF the dis
cussion of the work OF the Associated
Charities. which took place at the meet
ing Of the Washington Secular League,
permit me to say that the attitude taken
by some speakers in severely criticising
the Associated Charities should not be
regarded as the attitude of the Secular
League In the matter.
In harmony with its principles and OBJ
jects the league conducts an open forum
in which any one present Is accorded
the privilege of giving expression, in
proper manner, to any view or opinion
he or she may hold on the subject Un-
der discussion. But the bylaws OF the
league expressly provide that 1t shall
not be considered as indorslng or be-
coming responsible for any views uttered
in the discussion
As the body of your report indicated.
the attack on the Associated Charities
at our meeting last Sunday was led by
visitors to the meeting. and defense Of
that organization and its work was made
by a leading member of the league. While
the league itself was in no wise COM
mitted one way or the other, think
is not only not unfriendly to the work be-
ing carried on by the Associated Charities
and like organizations. but regards it as
a most important social service which
affords not only temporary relief to the
destitute, but, because of the increasing
ly scientific and rational attitude and
methods by which it is marked, promises
to aid most materially in bringing that
contamination toward which the faith
Of civilization is ever more and more
dIrected-the abolition Of destitution and
poverty. And certainly this consumma-
ton cannot be less desirable to those
who carry on the work OF our charitable
organizations and who are in immediate
touch with the concrete problem of pow
erty in its personal and collective aspects
than 1t is to the rest of Us.
