SANTUC
(Left over from last week)

Santuc, Dec. 14.-There was an
election held here Saturday for two
mill extra tax for "school purposes"
This will make seven mills. There
was only a very few ballots cast
Perhaps the citizens did not gen.
orally know it, or was not interested.
But they will be, and methinks hear
a whole lot of wailing already that
Takes are mighty high" For my
part, l do not know why an extra two
mills was wanted, or rather, needed.
Every child in the district can go ten
months in the year, and on through
every grade (and some outside too)
and the teachers are we'll paid-as
evidence there is always plenty of APP
plications for the place. Recently an
acre and half of land was bought at
500 an acre, to enlarge the lot al
ready around and now l think there is
a move to buy another acre or half,
for baseball ground. If they would
move off this high price to some other
place in the district more than twice
as much land could be bought for the
same amount of money, and taxation
could have remained as it were, 5
mills. But they may need CD piano
for decorations or embellishments,
when perhaps good spelling would be
better, | don't know. Now | am not
opposed to good schools. I wish I
could have had the advantages of
them when l was going, for 1 have
not been inside a schoolhouse only as
visitor since was 13 years old, and
the most of those years only for six
month of the year on the public, and
| feel the need of it sorely, but l do
not want to get intoxicated on more
taxation for school purposes, baseball
grounds, ETC., or what not. I have
seen right here, when the last month
or six weeks of the school year, the
most of the boys did not do any
thing much but practice and play
match games of ball with other
schools, and l hope the "school pur-
poses" in view now, is not of that
kind l wish the school purposes had
been made explicit. hope it is not
for increases of sales to the extent of
leaving everything else as skim-millS,
or creating a favored few. But it is;
here, and-well 1 bolt, but am getr
ting tired of hearing so much &C the
small man not paying much. His mot
much" often comes near the widows
mite" mark, and it is much harder
for the "small" man to dodge taxes,
than for the wealthier one. But, when
we plan to vote extra taxation or
bonds, which is the same, let us keep
sober. Hey Denver.
