C.t as second class matter. _1 v The United States Congress has ?passed a bill legalizing Co-operative lffarkfet*u& Associations and exempt tng them from the operation of the Sherman anti-trust laws. Reports come in to the effect that Mr. Geo. W^?Barrow?of Fraliklinton, will be a candidate against Mr. S. C. Holden. the present efficient encum bent, for Register of Deeds. Nonstable J. E.

There is no question about the fact j fEat tRe ~&TO*age man forgets the pub- i lic after he has been elected to office. ? If the people of Franklin County would take time to "study this poultry question and learn of what a great source of finance will be opened to them at such a nominal expense there will be no question about them crying their endorsement from the housetops &M(1 T hl1 Ik ?4.1!..?Take hold ami at the same time you get more money, make your children more independ ent . ?> Supt. E. L. Best, of the Pyblic School -Fystom. U ;? he congratulated for the progressive move he is making - this week in publishing a statement of j the receipts and disbursements of the Special tax school districts. In it he __has-recogiiized tlie Tact that the pub lic is entitled to kuow about its own business. Let it be hoped that other ? branches of the government will re- j cognize the same obligation ^ Every voter who is dissatisfied with the present salaries of t&eir County offices should study closely the figures 1 we have gi^n and are giving, so. that 1 you can act intelligeitoir. There is [ bo use "cutting off your nose to spite | your face" by voting against salaries ! ?in the election thtfo fall, when by po j doing you will increase tlie salaries ?grpial lliftund isllaif ? Tin tin] to take action against salaries is in ' tne primary by nominating men to' the legislature who will put them back to where they were when the people ratified them. WHAT WILL IT PAY! What will it pay? Frankly we don't know. But since the question of sal aries or fees has been raised to be set tled in the electfon this fall it puts it in order to speculate on the pay of the several offices. From the figures given last week the cost of the Reg ister of Deeds and Clerx of the Courts offices is about understood, especially so when the figures given in another column in regard to the Register of Deeds office As considered. Now the t speculation has turned to the Sheriff's office. In giving this speculative problem we don't want any one to con strue it to mean any discussion of Sheriff Henry A. Kearney, who we consider a most excellent officer and high toned gentleman, nor any one else, but just figures, subject to be juggled by any one who rushes and any way desired. Our information is that last year the total taxes for collection for Frank lin County was $275,006.00. The law that governs the Commissions on i the collection of taxes, so we under-1 stand, provides for a fee of 5 per cent on thf first $50,000.00 and 2 1-2 per' rent On the remainder. This law is | ..lxpt rV.*e1.v ?'elit!l*.. or c* /c*. not fl*. the ^resent times, autf hr.s Keen con-. etnu | to r.iepn tne--* r ?nl? cJcr.j t.j uub'.t pi ;*jviar and. Since ?he taxes In Franklin county is % divide! Into so many funds, township road finds for nine townships, general fund, bridge fund, education fund and so many local tax districts there will hardly be more than one fund that wil! '1r'u> nn rr.t"h "fv thous and dollars. That being true It would be probable that a slir.-.gtu commis sion of 6 per cent would oe claimed. Assuming the. entire amount of taxes were coi*ectc.l t -vould mean that the commissions io.iol lectin* taxes alone would amount to $13,70?.00. Then add to this amount the $1,520.69 fees and the $353.76 for cap-curing stills, assuming of course thes^ Items would remain about the same each year, the total cost of the office would be $15,624.35. Of course It Isn't pos sible that all the taxes would be col lected, but thai, can be taken Into con aftderatton. Do the voters In Franklin county feel that any man In the County should re such an an amount as salary at tlMfr expense? If *o you will vote Salaries" In the general elec tion il November.

We hope that each school in the county will teach its full number, of lays as nearly as possible. The long est term is short and the children are entitled to every day. If your school runs six months try to teach 120 dayB, Beven months, 140 days or if eight months, 160 days. We reel like the question of giving holidays should be left entirely with the teachers and we recommend that if the occasion de mands a holiday do not fail to give it. however we also recommend that you teach your full number of days which is determined by the length of your school term. Most school boards now employ teachers not for bo many months but for so many school days. 3. The committeemen for the Lo- j ca). Tax Schools will be notified In a few days how long over six month? the individual schools can run. The teachers are paid by the county for six months, their salaries in every . case according to the citate Salary Schedule. If the schools run longer than six months or if fhe committee men pay their teachers more than the i State Salary Schedule, all this expense ' must come from the Local Tax FSind. In estimating the length of term ? Lo cal Tax District can have, we take the amount of local tax tnat the Reg ister ^f Peeds turns over to the Sher iff ?r t!ti 2C"on ;.r! a.'lo.* g due,i.'g what we think will be me insolvent amount, we notify the committeemen how long over six months1 tlHs amount will run the schools. When the sher iff makes his settlement which is us ually about the first of October the exact amount of local tax tkfft is col lected for each school Is Aen deter mined and placed to the */redlt of that District. If the District has a bal ance at the end of the year It is car ried forward as a credit for the Dis trict for the next year. If there Is an overdraft the District, of course. Is charged with the same. Blnce 1914, an account has been carried with each. D1strlc * showing the crealts and dis bursements for each years work. This Is (lone ,'n order that the school com tmitteenvn and any other Interested ^erson may find out at any time how Uieir scno:>l account stands, where the credits ? ni? from and to whom the o.sbursei lents are made.

The taxpayers of the county are the ones furnishing the money and (hey hsve a right to know and I be lieve it Is their duty to find out how their funds are used. 4.
