Much has been said the past few months re-
garding the raising of property values in the city
and the subsequent action of the City Commission
in fixing the 1920 tax rate.
It wil be remembered that a serious condition
confronted our public schools during the spring
and summer of this year. Teachers had deserted
the ranks of their profession by the hundreds for
more remunerative employment. Practically ev-
ery item of expense entering into the cost of
maintaining the schools had greatly increased—
THE MARSHALL SCHOOLS AND THE 1920
TAX LEVY.

normal trade on them, and is brought before the
courts, the State does not need to have the proof
that they were knowingly sold for beverage pur-
poses, but the druggist or grocer will have the
job of proving that they were innocently sold for
beverage purposes, and such an abnormal trade
will be convincing evidence against him.

total levy remain under the constitutional limit
of $2.50. Thise course was impractical for the
sum necessary for the maintenance of the schools

for such increase made no objection, though an

had practically doubled. For 1919 the city had
levied for the schools the full amount authorized
i by the people for school purposes and they had
; made a total levy that reached, in certain districts
of the city, within four cents of the $2.50 tax
limit imposed by State law. It was therefore ev-
ident that no substantially increased amount could
be levied for school purposes, under a special elec-
tion authorizing such increase, for the reason:
(that it would increase the total rate beyond the
constitutional limit above mentioned.

- THE MOUNTAIN MAN’S CODE.
Three Kentucky mountaineers were convicted
in the United States Court at Lexington two
months ago for various offenses.
The men told the court that if they were sent
to prison at that time their crops would be lost
and their families suffer.
The Judge allowed each of them sixty days in
which to harvest his crop and then return to
prison and serve his term. There was no bond
required. The court took the word of the prison-
ers that they would return on time.
Promptly at the expiration of the grace pe-
riod the men presented themselves at the jail.
They were contented to accept their lot. Their
crops were in and their families provided for.
The mountain man is, above all, a man of
freedom. He attends pretty well to his own busi-
ness and likes to settle his quarrels in his own
way.
When the law steps in with its restrictions on
his mode of life he resents it. He breaks the law
and expects to be punished for it if discovered.
But there ie one law the mountain man ob-
serves to the letter—he will not lie. To him that
is the great offense.
We may not understand or agree with the
mountain man’s code, but every one who knows
him accepts the mountain man’s word.
Education some day will give the mountaineer
a different view of statute law but it is to be
hoped that the edges of his moral Oode will not
be Hunted in the process. •
