tionS: We do rot think it wise tu
put Approximately $4,000 in The
hands of one man to spend an
lually rs lie may direct. SeriiI
20 Us that man could make him
self Governor or United States
senator with that amount of mo-
icy 10 spend. il he were "a IN
lined. Incidentally. this j, why
;upt. Colvin i charged with GU
senatorial aspirations.
Our second objection i purely
local, touching a it does every
child and taxpayer in Oldham
county. Are YOU willing that the
school term be shortened one
month in this county that the
terms may be heightened in com
ties with lower assessments : Are
eachers i'll Oldham county willing
have their salaries reduced and
vet be required TO teach I month
or o months salary: II the
ERIN here is not shortened or the
eachers' salaries not reduced arc
OH willing ID add an additional
* to the present Cumbersome
mes now paid Do The patrons
{ the schools want the salaries
the teachers reduced or the
,hool term shortened? We do
OF think they do. Then what
e you going to do about II ?
Let is submit q few figures,
1r they will prove our state
tents According TO figures OBJ
lined from the office OF Sheriff
assidy he collected last year IN
ldham county for state purposes
i5,SS1.57. This amount divided
Y 40 cents on the dollar Estate
W. gives S8.970.392, the ta,--
bic basis Or the assessed value
on OF Oldham county for state
lrposes.
Now the state appropriate 20
= cents OF this Accent levy icr
EDUCATIONAL purposes, but only Is
2 cents IS used Tor the common
-hools. the balance going to Tic
tate University. the Normal
.chools. etc An lS ID cent levy
II SS,970.S9 will produce Sl6.-
o5.22, and this is the amount
oldham county contributed last
ear to the state for common
school purposes. Now from the
ooks of Supt. Selph we learn
hat the state paid back 10 Old
lam county for her eolnrnssn
chools the sum OF Sl0,729 50. The
Inference OF S5.S65.66. therefore.
what Oldham county i now
contributing to other counties OF
Kentucky.
Now the second amendment
provides that one-tenth of gener-
ii fund be taken out before any
money is refunded to the coun-
lies on the per capita basis. 50
aking the ieures given above rs
he amount Oldham county pays
or common schools and taking
lne-tenth of it. we find that 81 =
55o.52 more will be taken from
Oldham county and given to 9TH
.r counties, making a grand total
If S7,525.1S frum which the coun-
ty never derives any benefit. In
other words, Oldham county nov
ontributes IS per cent of SCHOOL,
AK TO other counties and vet she
s asked TO contribute IS per cent
or, stating it in another way, |
he receives from the state under |
he present system only 65 per
emit OF the money she pays to tho
tate for school purposes, but un-
er the proposed amendment she
asked TO decrease this amount !
10 per cent and be satisfied |
With approximately SIS per cent /
the money collected from her
v the state for school purposes.
We admit that this is a fine prop
sition for the pauper counties,
ut what about us? When Old
am county has extended her rh-
u school term TO equal that now
