levy FOR SCHOOL
BUDGET IS $10,734
Considerable Rise From
Last Year Due to Absence
of Back Taxes

The levy for school purposes for the
county tax rate and which was ap-
proved by the Vance County Board OF
Education yesterday. amounts to $lU,-
734S7, which is exclusive, of course,
&c what the state provides.
The figure compares with $5O564l
mt into the budget for tax purposes
a wear ago, the increase being due III
part to much smaller sums of back
taxes collected, and to an increase for
insurance costs and for local fund
for vocational teaching in the new
high school.
The school budget is much larger
than either of these figures, but the
other portion of it is provided for out
of fines. forfeitures and penalties in
courts of the county and city and by
contributions from State sources.
For the coming year 1867, the
requirements from local revenue sour
ces are set forth as 3374145, but the
credits by revenue funds from other
than actual tav sources amount tC
500 COG. 5S. leaving $10,734.S7 to be rails
ed " an advalorem tax. These fig
ures compare with requirements last
wear of $25,31O.92, when credits were
listed as $2O,254.51, leaving total OF
5.O56.i IL to be raised by tax levy.
The budget goes before the county
commissioners next Monday for con
sideration as part of the 1865
county budget.

Bailey faction was responsible for the
election of Butter as president and for
the defeat of Lucas by j. T. Gresham,

The first and hardest blow at Lucas

Phoenix, former State president, and
Herbert Gulley," chief political lieute-
nant of Senator Josiah w. Bailey, in
Raleigh and Wake county, adopted
the unit rule and decided to vote a.

paper man, is regarded as never hav-
ing been in sympathy with the
PhOenix-GuMey domination of beth
the Wake County Young Democratic
Club and of the State organization
It is also known that Lucas has at
times written articles not especially
complimentary to President Phoenix,
Mr.. Gulley and Senator Bailey. 1t is
reported here that the anti-Lucas
workers cut him down by circulating
the report that he voted for Herbert

the facts in the face and to speed up
consultations, which should have been
made years before. Other rural schools
were found to be SO poorly attended
that better facilities could be provided
at a saving in neighboring districts.
1t was simply method of the districts
paying tuition and providing trans
portation. The adjustments affected
444 schools. w. T. Markham, State
superintendent of schools, a Democrat,
said in 1886 that no child had been
deprived Of educational facilities be-
cause of the closing Of any school.
According to Frank L. Pinet, secre-
tary of the Kansas Teachers As
ISOLATION, many rural schools con-
tinued with their old methods in spite
Of the changing times. In 1886 he
reported 40 schools were in operation,
with only one pupil in attendance,
los with two pupils and 500 with
three or four pupils. But. on the
whole. the political subdivisions &C
cepted more efficient methods.
In the two-year period, when Kan
Sas counties were paying nearly $12,-
000, 900 to relief. the annual expenses
of local government dropped from
SGT per capita in 1882 to $50 in 1894.
Kansas didn't think much about 1t
one way or the other, until it awoke
one morning to find itself news.
