(Continued fnim First Tiitfc) tious from which to draw reve- , nuo by taxatiou, but every cent j must be raised directly from the farmer, the laborer, the mer chant and the mechanic, and we sympathize with our people when I we kuow that they are not pay ing the penalty of slothfulnoss, just as much as you do with your people. I do not thiuk you can measure the value of a good teacher by dollars and cents. Those who eurn 35 should get it, aud even more if they merit it, as the la borer is worthy his hire, but I am now and for all time opposed to paying 115 per month without any reference to the qualifica tions of the teacher. I am op posed to this bill because I re gard it unwise legislation. Leg islation gave to the people the right of self government, the right of local affairs to bo en trusted to local officials, but now comes a time when legislation in its greed and avarice for power, attempts to deprive its people of the right of self government, and curtail that ancient privilege that has been wielded so brilliantly by the common people. I am op posed to this legislation because it is an infringement upon the rights and duties of the various school boards who are elected by the people to represent the peo ple, and I believe are, or ought to be, eminently qualified to repre sent the rights of those for whom they are chosen. May we not hope that thrs ef fort to thwart the rights and will of the people will receive such a stinging rebuke that it will never come up again to enlist the atten tion of this body. Therefore I am opposed to the passage of this bill, vicious as it is, from now until dooms day. Merchant Wanted.
