LAW MAY BE TESTED.
.Sheriff Durbln Says He Will Enforce
the Collection After May 1st. ,.
The bicycle tax law has not yet been
tested In this county as to Its leg llty
and no: opposition has thus far been
manifested to the operation of the
law. If there Is to be any formidable
resistance shown the measure. It will,
doubtless, materialize, nfter the 1st
prox- when the tax becomes delin
quent and the sheriff proceeds to en
force the collections. Costa to the
amount of $1 will be added and In de
fault of the payment, the wheel will
be tized and held until the amount of
the tax Is advanced.
- Very few bicyclists, however, oppose
the bill. The average wheelman com
prehends at once that the law was en
acted wholly for his own benefit and
knows that the money derived from the
tax will be expended - in bettering the
condition of existing paths nn in the
construction of new ones. This literal
i?w is taken by the majoilty of the
wheelmen.
Sheriff -VJurbtn said yesterday that he
proposed to enforce the collection of
the bicycle tax, beginning May J -t,
when it racemes delinquent by reaon
of the expiration of the sixty days al
lotted by law for Its payment. He
says If there Is any question as to the
legality of the act, it should be tested,
but until the real status of the law
should be ascertained, he proposes to
abide by the provisions therein Incor
porated nd will enforce the collection
of the tax. " beginning Monday morn
ing. May 1st," said the the riff. I will
seize every bicycle I see that Is not
properly tagged.
In order to make the enforcement of
the tax general throughout the county,
it Is the intention of Bhetiff Durbln
next month to name In euch of the In
terior towns deputy, collectors, who
shall bo invested with the same pre
rogatives in .he matter as the sheriff
himself. ",'".-.
Notwithstanding the trlk relative to
the unconstitutionality of the blcytle
tax law, the receipts from that source
continue to pour into the sheriff's of
fice. Yesterday thirty-five wheeln.en
paid their tax. They were as follows:

PROGRAM ARRANGED BY THR
STATE SUPERINTENDENT.
The School Savings Bank System ti
Recommended to Teach Thrift
and Economy.
(From Dally April 2Cth.)
State Supt. J. H. Arkerman yester
day cent out the following circular
letter to county eupetintendenta of
echools regarding the program for the
May examination of school teachers:
The following program will be fol
lowed during the May examination of
applicants for county and state, pa
rer:
"Wednesday Penmanship, history,
spelling.
ThursdayWritten arithmetic, the
ory of teaching, grammar.
"Friday Geography, mental arith
metic, realm, physiology, composition
phys!cal geography, bookkeeping, Oie-
gin school law, general history, Eng
lish literature, algebra.
"I would suggest that you would 'n-
clude the above prrgram In your press
notices of the examination.
"I desire to recommend to you the
school savings system as the hest prac
tical wny to teach the youth of. our
state lessor; in thrift, economy and
industry- The habit of laying aside a
part of thf Ir Income is of Incalculable
value to anyone, and especially to the
child In the days when habits are in a
formative stage.
"It is an educational measure which
will prevent, to a great extent. pauper
Ism, Intemperance and crime. Edu
cators have noticed that thousands of
young people are graduated from our
Institutions of learning every year with
ir.Inds well stored with knowledge, a
large part of whom made an absolute
failure In business Tecause they have
not been well grounded In habits of
thrift. The school savlrgs bank is a
practical remedy for this."
Prof. Ackermsn left ysterdsy for
Union, where he will deliver an address
before the graduating class of the pub
lic school today. On Saturday he will
attend the teachers' institute at Philo
math, Fentn county. On next Tues
