Upton COUNTY SCHOOLS

The Upton county court took a
big forward step at its quarterly
meeting last Monday, when 1t voted
unanimously for 2O-cent increase in
the tax rate for school purposes.
Fifteen cents of this increase goes
to the elementary schools, and win
result in considerable frightening
Of the school term. Five cents goes
for high school purposes, and gives
Upton county the maximum high
school rate. The state levies a high
school tax, one-third of which is dis
tributed among those counties that
levy the maximum for high school
purposes. This will give us some
where between $500 and $1,000 adj
ditional state money, the amount de-
pending upon how many counties
qualify, as Upton has done, by max
ing the maximum levy.
If Upton county is to keep any
where near the lead in the march of
progress our schools will have to be
kept up to the standard. Esq. Kelley
sounded the keynote when he said
that the country schools ought to be
good enough for the children of the
city man if he had occasion to us4
them. This is the ideal, and we
should not be satisfied until the chill
dren living in the rural districts have
an equal chance with those living in
the urban communities.
To reach this ideal it may be neees-
sary to consolidate some of our
schools and have fewer and better
schools in the county. This can be
done without inconvenience when our
roads are also improved.
Thus we see the truth of the old
adage that good schools, good church
es and good roads go together

An Iowan calculates the cost of
bad roads this way: Figuring that a
man and his team are worth Sc a
day, that means $62.4O a year mud
tax. A farm assessed at $4,000 pays
$40 additional year if the tax levy
for good roads were 81 per thousand
per year. That is, for an investment
of $40 he could save $42.4O, which is
212 per cent interest. The farmer
spends time and money finding out
how to raise a crop cheaply, but he
loses sight of the cost of transport.

IMPROVING OUR HIGHWAYS

In voting to secure $4,000 state
and federal aid for the improvement
of the JEFF Davis and the Memphis-to-
Bristol highways, the quarterly coun-
ty court made big forward step in
the line Of real progress
We are now among the first West
Tennessee countios to qualify and
that means that we will be amoag the
FIST to secure the services of the
state engineers, and also that we are
in line for our part Of the road tools
and machinery which the federal gov
eminent is furnishing to the ,ounties
through the state highway depart
rnene.
der the contract which QUE court
will make with the state depai tner {,
these roads will be maintained with
out cost 10 the col' ty, hencs ne big
item of expense VIII be removed from
ttha nnual budget for road and bridge
maintenance CT these imp ,rtant
roads.
The matter cf gr Attest Importance,
however, is that this is, perhaps, the
beginning of a system Of good ,,sds
for the county. Government aid in
road building is popular, and more
and larger appropriations will doubt
less be made in the future than wa
have had in the past. When these
trunk lines are finished, then we can
take up the question of branch lines
from all sections Of the county lead
ing into them. Over and over bad
roads have been proven to be an ex-
pense, and we congratulate the court
on it's action in securing this state
and federal aid
Within five or six years we hope
to see a line of road as good as these
highways, reaching from the Missis-
sippi river to the Memphis-to-Bristol
highway, and other peaessary branch
lines. Upton county raised in a year
and a half $1,S00,000 for war pu-
poses, and came out with more mon-
ey than we had in the beginning,
and we believe that we are able to
build good roads over which to haul
our products to market and fani-
lies to school and church. We only
need to look ct our county as a
whole, keep our heads together and
pull ourselves out Of The mud, and
on the highway to greater prosperity
and better living.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1919-07-10

Some reactionary Republican sena-
tors would have us-and all the world
besides-believe that the only inter-
est this country has in foreign ma
tions is interest on American invest
ments. And still they seem to for
get that peace must precede pros
perity, here and abroad; that we can
not recover our trade with Europe
until, with our help, Europe has re-
established peaceful, permanent gov
ernments.
