Hl* Creed a SelfUh One The philosophy of the man in the itreet Is to get through life with a minimum of self-sacriflce and a maxA mum of self-indulgence. Is This True? In discussing the question of local tax for bublic schools, I heard a poor man say that if any body ought to be in favor of local tax it was him, his lo'*al tax was not over 35 cents, with a large family of children to scho and. I also heard a large land owner say that he was going to rent for cash rent with enough added on to i>a> his tax, and every body is but hu man; and nine out of every ten is going to follow suit. Ho like ev cry thing else the poor man has got to bear the heat and burden of the day. Fash rent, calculated for a good crop year with no al lowanee for sickne-:s, drouth and hail storms, and if you are not wil ling to promts: it there is 10 oth ers willing to step in your shoes. I know some men that rented this i car for a fixed rent and am confident that the rent Fertilizer bill will take their crop. If this fixed rent is adopted in our com munnity. The one hors. land owner and the man that rents for a fixed rent will pay the taxes. The school ond church are two of tha grandest institutions that ever bedecked the American continent. But the mess of pottage must come by and by. If it don’t the children will make ugly faces and the mother who toils in the cotton lidd is worthy of wholesome food and good warm winter clothing, and 1 find that some of the best men we have talk benevolence don't provide for their families as they should.
