There is nothing to be gained the advocates of high license ob- ucting the will of the people on is subject. While The Cuiep does t believe in prohibition as the great uacca for the removal of the causes intemperance, yet it believes in the ople having their rights. The ver- ict of the people, whether it be for r aaint prohibition, should be rc- pected, and the weak as well as the trong should be protected in their ihts, guarar.tced under the cvnsti-ution. rardofTlmnka.

Sin. self-sacrifice, arc filliug office, calling for a $5,000 lond, in which, from $50 to $1,000. is received and disbursed annually, at 3 per cent; which is all the law allows, making a salary of from $1.50 to $30. The county clerk, in counties under township organiza tion, is obliged to make out a dupli cate tax list, for each township. In some counties the clerk receires 4 cents per line for the duplicate, the same as for the original tax list. In others (and Webster county is one of them,) he receives nothing for the duplicate. In this county, I think only one township collector, took out a tax book last year, though duplicates were made out for all. The conven tion of delegates elected by county boards of counties under towuship or ganization, held at Columbus, Platte county, on Nov. 20th and 21st, sug gested some excellent amendments in regard township laws, one of which is that each township collector take out tax books on or before the 15th of November, each year, and collect all personal taxes and as much of the land taxes as possible and return to the county treasurer, on the 15th of the ensuing September, for collection by him, all delinquent land taxes. All state and county taxes to bo paid into the county treasury, and all township and district school taxes to be retained in the township treasury. In this way the office will bo a paying one, and will secure the best talent. I suggest that the school laws be so amend jd as to abolish the office of district treasurer, and let the district school hoard consist of three directors whose powers and duties shall be the same, except that the board shall ap point one of their number as clerk. Let the said district board draw all orders on the township treasurer for school money, and credit his accounts annually, or oftoncr if they deem it nccc?sary. Let all state apportion ments of school fund be paid by the county treasurer, to the township treasurer. T.) make it agreeable to ill interested, the township treaurer should reside in a ccr.tr.il part of the township, as nearly as practicable. However, the tatcr will take t li point into consideration. The office nf ii;trirt treasurer is not needed. It is burdensome o the treasurer, as he is obliged to give a heavy bond, in some cases even in county districts as high as $1,500. He is expected to draw from tho county treasury, in person, and disburse all infney be longing to his district. In many schools, teachers draw their pay monthly, which causes the treasurer to travel, in some cases. 20 or 30 miles from home, in all kinds of weather, to the county scat, cery 30 days, without pay, or the teacher niu.st be put to the inconvcnicn:c of writing for his money. herea, if the school money was in tho township treasury, the district board could give the teacher an order on the town trcssur cr, on Friday evening st th expira tion of each month, and he could draw his money the same evening, nnrl Bnpnil it all the next day.
