Tho Local Director Are Against a deduc tion In the Present Quota. Tlio warning given by Governor Stono, that tho state must reduce tho appropriations for public schools and cbarittos, or clso deviso somo means to increase tho rovenue, has caused much comment throughout tho stato.. Especially Is this truo In this locality, so far ns tlio appropriation to schools is con corned. Tho Governor points out that tho revenues of tho stato this year will bo con siderably less than tho expenditures, nnd It has been suggested that tho school appropria tions bo reduced $1,000,000, making the total fl.00O.0O0, Should this plan bo adopted to make bom ends tneot, it would seriously cripple tho work of the public schools in tho country districts, Including Shenandoah, which aro dependent to a great extent upon tho amount derived from tho stato. For this reason few mcmlicrs from tho country districts will favor tho reduction, and it was these repro sontatlves who defeated a similar move at a previous session. Thoso who favor tho ro ductlon offer tho argument that it was never intended that tho stato should either nssumo control or support nltogcthcr tho common schools. If that wore tho case, nil local in terest In their welfare would bo lost. As it is, thoy arxue, ono-balf of tho school districts havo lost that interest which they once bad of seeing their own money expended wisely, because thoy are relieved in some districts of all school tax, nnd iu 511 districts they failed to raise an amount equal to that which tho state gavo, as It was not necessary. Tho Herald representative Interrogated n local School Director on tho subject, and he naturally was decidedly against any reduc tion, pointing out that it would not only bo it hardship upon tho taxpayers of tho borough, but greatly embarrass the officials of country districts. It was also learned that the Board had levied a porsonal school tux of one dollar on overy taxable That is to say, every person, whether ho is assessed as a minor, merchant or mechanic, earh pay n personal tax of one dollar. Heretofore tho morchant paid f 2.80 and tho miner 70 conts school tax. Tho Directors givo this as thoir interpreta tion of tho school law, which say3 "it shall ho lawful for Directors to levy and collect an nually n per capita tax of one dollar for school purposes from each and every male in habitant" of tho required ago; that tho "per capita tax herein authorized shall be in lieu of tho occupation tax," and "this act shall in no wise limit or abridge the power of Direc tors to lovy a tax on real nnd personal prop erty." This act was passed in 181)7. Thore are, however, men of the legal pro fession who intorpret tho law differently, and say that tho minimum tax is one dollar but thoso whoso occupation tax is greater than that must pay tho full amount, as In the caso of merchants whoso tax, under tho latter in terpretation, would ho $2.80. So thore you are I When doctors disagree, who shall prescribe? Shenandoah's School Hoard is the only ono in the county that has assessed $1.00 ns a uniform personal tax.
