DR.. G. BOHRER'S IDEAS

DR.. G. Bohrer of Chase, Rice coun-
ty, Kansas, who was a member of the
legislature in 1876 and 1877 and later
in 1883 and 1884, has written the fol-
lowing communication to the State
priations in the legislature:
Aside from the strictly just and legiti-
mate appropriations the matter of excess
sive taxation should be among the first
to receive careful consideration during
the present session of our Legislative
sembly. Among noteworthy items the
appropriation for educational purposes
should stand at the head of the list as
this costs the taxpayers more than any
other item. The people are perfectly
of the pupils between the ages of six and
eighteen in the following branches:
Spelling, reading, writing, arithmetic,
branches, being well understood, prepare
the masses for the real battle of life. Not
10 per cent of the 100 per cent will desire
ify them for the different professions.
such divinity, law, medicine and other
occupations requiring more than a COM
mon school education. This 10 per cent
entire beneficiaries of the same, should
not and cannot upon any principle of
justice ask or compel the other 80 per
cent to be taxed to enable the 10 per cent
to acquire this higher education. Let the
legislators look into this matter and ascer-
tain if it is not a fact that 100 per cent
of the taxpayers instead of 10 per cent
have been and are now paying footing
the bills instead of 10 per cent who are
the only actual beneficiaries If the
writer were governor he would approve
bill appropriating funds to educate
100 per cent of such are to receive an
education in the six studies above named
and would veto any bill proposing to tax
100 per cent of the people to educate the
10 per cent.
