the county unit He is principal OF
the schools which have beer the chief
beneficiary Of the county unit system.
Among other things the county unit
paid off $40, 900 in bonds for whose
payment no provision had been made
by the district. We must naturally
expect them to favor the system since
it has never cost them one dollar. but
on the contrary has enabled them TO
develop a splendid school system for
which the farmers Of the Belt valley
have contributed largely. They have
not witnessed the abandonment of
district schools and the onseoue
depopulation of sections in order that
Cascade and other places might have
money enough to expand. They do
not mind the fifteen mill levy because
that let's them down easy. The prom
Use was made in the editors presence
that the levy would not exceed seven
mills, consequently we feel that the
farmer has been imposed upon.
If Mr.. Scherf had read our editorial
carefully he would have seen that we
objected to our people having to help
support INDECENT school districts while
the seats Of wealth were relieved of
this responsibility, which is very
much different from the way he puts
it. Our opinion has not changed in
the least since reading Mr.. Scherfs
letter which is published above. We
doubt very much whether the editorial
on the subject printed in a previous
of the Belt Valley Times will be
published in the Cascade paper.
