YOUR CHANCE MR.. TAXPAYEI
Continued from page one

itor Carver has mailed a persona
letter to the clerk Of each board ii
the taxing districts of the county, o.
which there are fifty.
Cut from this paper the notice OF
the meetings and put it in your walle,
and be right on hand at the meeting
place half hour ahead Of the ap
pointed time. If you want lower
tax rate, 1T is NOW UP TO YOU.
AS an evidence of the thoroughness
and watchfulness with which the state
administration is endeavoring to re-
duce the burden Of taxes throughout
the state, the following cleaned from
a communication received by Audito:
Carver from State Auditor Donahe!
will be of interest.
For instance, on May Of the pres
ent year, the state department certi
fed to Auditor Carver the state levy
as follows: For Sinking Fund, 1886
mills; University Fund, OOPS mills;
State Common School Fund, 1886
mills; State Highway Improvement
Fund, 500 mills; total, 1861 mills. a
month later another letter from the
state department directed that those
levies be held in abeyance, as Gov.
Cox was about to take up with the
Attorney General the matter OF
amending them with view to max
ing reduction, if possible.
On July 20, the Governor convened
the General Assembly in extraordi2-
ary session and reduced the state levy
for al purposes .511 mills.
Thereupon Auditor Carver was pro
vided with the following new levy,
which should be carefully compared
with the previous one and reflected
upon: Sinking Fund, .0025 mills; Un-
iycrsity Fund, .O925 mills; State Com
mon School Fund, .055 mills; State
Highway Improvement Fund, 300
mills; total, As mills.
Thus it will be observed that de-
cided reduction in the State Common
School levy has been made. By this
change Medina county viii be relieved
of almost the entire direct tax fol
common school purposes, but no re-
duct:on will be made in the usual al.
lowance by the state of two dollars
for every youth of school age, be-
tween the ages Of six and twenty-one
in the county, and state aid to veal
school districts will be allowed al
heretofore.
The total state levy has been Gu
lover FIFTY-THREE percent and il
now lower than ever before in the his
tory of the state. All this is mad
possible by the increase in the gran'
duplicate Of the state, and the larg'
balance in the state General Revsnu
Fund, and any deficiency in othe
funds will be met by transfers from
this fund.

SION AT AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, AccoMPLIsHEs MUCH
SPLENDID WORK,

The summer session at the agricul-
tural college has. been In progress for
two weeks and splendid work Is being
done.
That the summer school is a place
Of good opportunities is shown by the
fact that q large number Of teachers
are here from neighboring counties.
Cass and Ransom counties Join in Of
fering work for teachers wishing to
pursue the subjects required for ele-
mentary certificates.
The new feature of this session is
that there r courses offered by the
agricultural college for students who
wish to receive credit in college sub
jects, and many Of the students are
enrolled in this section.
The fine illustrated talk on the
Montessort System by Miss Best was
we'll attended. 1t gave much room for
thought and many new ideas.
A large number Of the teachers took
advantage Of the moving picture en-
tertainment at the Little Country
theatre Tuesday evening. The one
film, Back to the Farm, was conceded
an especially fine production. During
q short intermission Miss Hardy very
ably delivered a recitation and Super
intendent Riley. who always enjoys
singing, led us in a song in which we
all partook with enjoyment.

press purpose Of voting at that years

women who were registered voted. Lat
er the registration law TOT women
was changed, and made more ike that
for men. A woman name once

perhaps ten years ago-there was an
exciting contest at the school electlons
and many women registered n vot-

Of the women ceaseed to VOTE ouf
their names stayed on the register.
This Is the simple explanation OF the
to registration, despite the increase OF
women's actual vote.
It Ia idle to infer that few women
would use The full vote because few
use the school vote. In he case or
men, everyone knows that a largo vote
is cast at large elections n a small
vote at small elections; In NsW Yoss'
school elections are held separately
and the state commissioners Of educa~f
ton (Mr. Skinner) several years
pointed out that the mems school vote
Is about as small as the women's. To-

In Kansas, women obtained school
suffrage in 1851: Their vote vas

came very much larger; and since they
gained full suffrage there has been
no complaint Of lack of Interest. In
Colorado women gained the school vote
in 1876. Their vote was small. In
1893 they gained full suffrage and

I has declared that the women ever
since have exercised the privilege as
generally as the men In Oregon,
women got school suffrage in 1873.
Their vote was small. In 1912 they
got full suffrage, and though women
| constitute considerably less than 80
per cent of the total population, the
press dispatches from a whole series
Of local elections report the women as
casting from 80 to 40 per cent of the
total vote. Washington's experience
has been the same.

school elections; but 1t is only a new
proof Of the truth Of Mrs. Poysers Inn
women are foolish; God Almighty

The experience Of women's school
votee in more than half the states on
the union has completely disproved two
Of the ~favortte antl-arguments: Cd
that the bad women would outvote the
good ones; and (2) that the women
opposed to suffrage would feel undsE
a Conscientious complusion to vote.
Julia Ward Howe wrote. in The Wo-

who make a speciality Of opposing
equal suffrage do not use the school
ballot. with what consistency, the
can they object to full suffrage on the
ground that 1t would impose OF them
an added duty? By actions which
speak louder than words, they every
year declare their conviction h the
right to vote carries with 1t no duty
or obligation whatever."-From The
