A woRKIgemAN PROTESTS.

EDS. RECORD UNION: The party who SO.
cured the publication in q newspaper of the
proposition TO use the FIRE department horses
to draw the sprinkling carts; and the propo.
sition to employ teachers that will work for
a song, aid whose competency might be
measured in like manner who would have
police patrol the streets all night long for the
wages that are phil in employments where
no risk is taken, and no responsibility re-
posed, in the same breath opposes the sus-
tanning of tie Free Library, one of the best
institutions We have. The same party calls
attention 60 the proposed vote to pay
$4,000 toward new Pavilion, remark
iri's that that will rsi.e the tax lsVY
iIo-4 81 GO TO 81 90. The kind Of school
teachers that msn would employ would teach
that kind of arithmetic. Did the man who
wrote that letter TO the Bee really suppose
that anybody would accept his figures? The
$50 600 will require q tax levy of less than
cents. Evidently tbs writer Of that COM
municatiOn went TO "bweuty-cent school
marm." [ want my children to be taught by
the best teachers TO be had, and as tax
payer l demand that sufficient be paid TO
secure competent teachers. Competency is
what commands wages. It is not question
Of muscle, or of hoi carrying. Mr.. Editor,
L
Library and the schools 80 vilainous and
communistic and made for bad purpose.
Here are our schools go crowded that the
teachers cannot do the scholars Justice, and
yet man is found with influence enough TO
secure the publication of a letter demanding
that part of cur teachers be dismissed, and
the remaining half be required TO teach
double the number Of pupils at half the
wages they now receive. Why is il, sir, that
rryhn fo Il
cannot find sone other things TO attack ex-
cept the schools, the Library and the Fire
Department? We who have TO labor at the
block must pay q license for the privilege,
and then have to suffer the punishment of
some crazy coot coming along and proposing
to deprive our children of the advantages of
good schooling. A WORKING BUTCHER,
Sacramento, March 4, 1883.
