Show STOCKMOKE CITIZEN OBJECTS TO TKAXSPORTATION OF PUPILS Dear Editor: In your last week's Issue I notice an anicle in regard to the school question at Hanna and Stockmorc. As a patron of the Stockmore tcbool I have this to eay: In regard to the transportation of our children to Tabkma: In th first place we zrz entitled to our schools. 36 they were built by ua in the days when we were bullying bully-ing up this part of the basin making homes out of . nothing, and it ha9 cofct the school board nothing, other than th scant equipment that we have been elble to get from them. Wc have no complaint to offer of the teachers, we have had, but as taxpayers taxpay-ers we think it i& about time that we received more benefit from our taxes in the form of a good school house in one or the other of our valleys. val-leys. We have the great honor to help elect one member of the five men 'to ran the .schools and thofce oth$r four whom wc have nothing to do with tell ns through the press that they have decided to take our children to Tabiona. Talk about taxation without representation, repre-sentation, no wonder the 13 colonics revolted. The school boar. I tell us that they haven't got tho m;noy to build school homes. Why net do away with the board and turn the oi'-, oi'-, !;." over to tbe county commissioner?. commission-er?. Looks lika ihc-y could 'handle the thing and thereby save a few dollars. Then, again, why not do away with the oice held by Mr. Pax-! ton. Seems like that money could be used to good purpose. II we lire ! in such a bad way financially il I might be a good idea to economize a little. It might be a good idea to eta go another '"Tea party'', as our school system does not get us anywhere. any-where. The people of Boston were taxed for the lea they drank. We arc in turn taxed but don't get any lea. If we allowed our children to bo hauled to Tabiona, a distance or eleven miles, through trow and mud, over roads that defy trafiic in any form, we would be lit subject.? for the bug house. Wo lirjio tho i)-;-.rl will tabc a second sec-ond thought f.nd decide lo build us a school hon.-e, cither u. Farm cri..- or Stock more, b..:oatuc we think tc? r'.u:ii ef !!: hoalih our rlii.'drcji to .' !!. Ibiiii :, ' hauled to T:; !; or. a. GJ:0. !!. Y.'i :.('!'. K. |
