Suppose someone wanted to
sandbag a corporation. The first
thing to do is introduce a bill, paw
the air for reform; get the senate
to pass it; send it to the bouse,
have it read a second time and
then pause lor a reply. All this
time the band is behind the back.
At the critical moment a flaw is
found in the bill and the corpor
ations are given another opportun
ity to pony up. See the point?

SEGREGATION BILLS
IN THE LEGISLATURE !
i
—
Three Different Segregation Bills I
Have Been Introduced in
House and Senate.
While this is but the second!
week of tin* legislature, so prompt
ly have the wishes of the governor
or rather the demands, been res
ponded to, that there is hardly a
measure he called for in his inau
gural address that has not been
forthcoming from some source.
One of the things he most ur
gently recommended was segrega
tion of the school taxes, so that the
I taxes paid in by the whites should
j be separated from the taxes paid
by negroes, and already as many
as three different segregation
measures have been introduced. It
is an interesting feature, also, that
each one of these measures treats
the subject in a different way.
They all, however, provide that
the assessor in making his returns
must designate the amount against
each race and that the county clerk
in making his abstract of the taxes
shall keep the assessments against
each race separate and distinct.
The collector of taxes is requested
to keep separate accounts, as is
the state auditor in making all dis
bursements, and the state treasur
er also.
