We j that it is justly untitled to re- have had eiiihleen cents sreneral property tax for public schools since 1897. The legislature of that year tais.'d it to t w e n t y cents, but theconst itutional equ 1 tion was not kept up on the poll and the Supreme court declared the act unconstitutional an 1 the tax remained eighteen cents nn - til the present vi-nr, when it was again raised to twenty cents. Sii-iin.m to sa v t ii i r tic i - lenti - cal hiistake in regard to the poll tax, but the Su)reme court has revers-d itself and the t wen' v cts. will now hecollectrd. Strange with all our talk about-public ed ucation that we should let the gi neinl county ta x rest at eigh teen cents for. sixteen long year s. It-was raised from sixteen to ei-hteen cents in ISlb'S. This t 'x is strictly speaking a comity tax, as it is levied in the ( on-ty, collected in the county, and paid out in the county for K-hool purposes, and the State does nothing in connection with it except to keep a record of the amount collected and a record of what it is spent for. The State properly speaking has done very little for elementary public edu cation in the past; us explained above, the general tax of eigh teen cents is strictly a county tax. The income from the sale of swamp lands has been given to all the children of the State. Some years this would amount, to a considerable sum of money and during.other years nothing whatever came from this source. The legislature ol 1800 was the first since the adoption of our present constitution to put itself on record for doing something worth while for all the children of this Sta te feOineUiing direct LAXAT LIVER SYRli in Hi 'ut iivuhtirr lor tvi rliil lien.
