THE TAXPAYERS AND TUB
SCHOOLS
Any assistance tlio city of Pa
ducahi may give tho schools of
100Iadumb In a financial way will
be money well spent Now
100Demoorat
Heres a matter on which wo all
seem to agree It is not a matter of
more sentiment cither but a eon Gtrrand
of common sonar economy
Jt makes little difference now of
course how tho floating debt of t l1eto
his
schools came about but It puts us t
to begin 1thln a Httlo moro sym
pathetic attitude toward tlio present
trustees when wo understand that
they had nothing to do with Incur
ring it that they are mon of the 1
very highest business quaBfloat mss
who consented to give their Umo at
the urgent request of distressed C ill
zees to the school problem nnd that
In addition to restoring harmony I
they actualy ma mi cod with theIr
98meagre revenues to pay off part of
tie existing debts during the year
Just ended Knowing the character
of men composing the board wo f eel 1
B3more like entrusting money retie n
and more like wtpJng clean tlio slate
and giving them a clianco to Improve
the schools at least to the full e X
tent of their Income part of which
now goes to paying Interest on the
floating debt
That interest account la what ch J
legrTha
tegea our common sense The
li6schoo board Is an entity distinct
06Crom the city to be sure and a 5and
cent levy out of this general tax
levy Is apportioned to it by state law
so the city government nuturaM I y
0fteJs no drect responsibility for ta0who
HoveAcltoos However brushing all d I
hsthese artificial distinctions erected
by fiction of the law the same tax
payers who support the city govcrn
raent support the schools and that
yannual Interest on tho floating debt
mutt be met by them and ntiethw

the city does or dot not pay off the
fGOOO1 remaining for tho schools
o1ve
hand
tho JGOOO to pay eventuaty only I
If the money Is paid this year the to
torest will stop
That te the taxpayers point Dfas
view we take It Ho desires the
ne1leapcet and most effective admin
IntraUon j i o alWe It will bo made
cheapest by stopping the interest
fprthw tti and made most effective
by saving tho Income of tho school
for the purpose for which it was In
tendedi the current expanses of op
eratK > n
eoratnWhen
When men of the character of
dthOse composing the school board
aro wimng to give their time and
nstaloots to the public that is the
onUmo when tho pubHc sliould be
most liberal toward the schools as
giured that the money will be prop
priy spent For that reason too we
hope the general council will keopI I
down tho annual charges against the

toseiner fund
A new High school Is needed and c
when the city limits aro extended
11wetiard a new school building out d
that way will be Immediately de
Iemanded but with the new property d
assessment next year and the added
real estate wealth these affairs will L
not greatly bother
our school trus
tee If the floating debt IE out of the b
Wa3r
eeThese Is Involved owing to tho B
artificial distinctions between tho
city school board a legal question i 1
owhlcb we wMI not pretend to paras ra
upon That Is whether the city fi
e legal right to transfer funds to ai
the school trustees but with all ot r to
agreeing as to the moral pocUtude
the transaction a way around tho
technicality can be found by lawyers n
accustomed to guide parties through
such labrynths

RESOLVED

As a bit of satire
containing
some wholesome truths and a clever
way for the state legislature to side
stop responsibility for tho deficit In
e state treasury caused by fla
appropriatinga I
power without adequate means for f >
raising extraordinary revenues thot
resolution of Senator Eaton declar c
g that there Is no demand for d
remedial legislation and reciting the m
fact that county boards of cquallza W
tlon do not assess county w
att
fair valuation Is worthy ot presor at
vatlon but to be of value to the t1
state nnd taxpayers It should have g <
Bono further and elucidated Senator M

caplIE WI l
IEmay have been responsible for this
deficit and tho J500000 appropria
tlon made by tho last legislature for >
tho normal schools without provid 1
ing any means of raising tho rev iJ
nue accounts for much of tho bal t
11an co of the deficit but Is It good
statesmanship to create floating
intersGtrr st
and Injure the credit of tho state by I
ofeletaultlng In payments rather than
to Issuo bonds at a small rato or
ISInterest and pay current expense
debts promptly
ntIs it not fair besides that those
ntwho como after and enjoy tho bone
irfits of tho new capitol should bear
110their pro rata share of tho expense I
ISStates aro suposcd to bo perpetual I
atwith annually recurring expenses
and annual revenues that may be
approximately estimated Conse i
quently It is good statesmanship to
apportion > these expenses In such a
manner as to match as nearly as
possible the anticipated revenueS
having at all times of course con i
sldcrntlon for economy
Naturally tho burden of the ox
pease of tho capitol did not become
pressing until the building was near
Ing completion so there wad eat h I
Ing bravo or statesmanlike In the
idea of starting tho building on cur

dodging creditors and paying Inter
cst In order to deceive tho people
Into j believing that great economy
and good financiering wero being ex
hlblted i when in reality floating
debts and Interest accounts and deft I I

Thatd is
like j sweeping the dirt behind tho

atresult of such folly Is apparent In I
