MUST MEET THE CUT.
nnW the Southern Railroad Situation
VIII Affect Seattle.

Speaking of the recent cut in freight r4ies
msic by the Southern Pacific railroad to meet
the competition of the Columbian Steamship
Company. 4. G. Seufe.d.r, OF SchwaDacher
Bse,hcss. said yesterday:
the cut have effect here other than to
cora pei the Northern lines to maze lower rates
70 meet the competition, .or we can get freight
cheaper that way. l. Is really n fight between
this Southern Pacific and the Columbia steam
ship Company, but the terminal point Is
affected. The railroads here arc holding aloof
but there will be more developments later on.

less the rates are met by these lines, for ii VIC

Alexander Thompson. agent OF Bal!our, Guth-
rie & Co., speaking on the same subject. said:
Low rates Will knock the ships out. They
have been getting 81 to S7.5o per ton for
freight from New York here, but the rates are
now down TO 81 This is not profitable TO the
shiIs, for they can get oil from New York to
japan a. g cents per case, which is better than
coming here. FOR the port charges aud stevedor-
ting In Japan ports are very low. 1t Is all war

against the southern Pacific road. They formed

TACOMA TEACHERS SALARIES.
Superintendent Roberts Says He Did
Not Recommend the Cut.

TACOMA. May 15.-iSpecial. l-Superin-
tendent Roberts, of the public schools,
feels that an erroneous and misleading
impression may have resulted from the
statement that he had recommended the
cut in the salaries of the public school
teachers, which has been made by the
board of education. Mr.. Roberts says:
The fact is. that outside of the superintendent
and the principal OF the high schoo., the saiar-
les of the Tacoma teachers and principals have
been cut only $50 compared with last year.
l dill no, recommend the cut. On the contrary,
I pleaded for advance to the maximum
salary, provided there was nothing else that
could be DONE The board insisted cu;,
and pleaded :or a maximum OF $50 month
aud the rriyilcg, OF every teacher advancing
in order until that maximum was reached. l
did not know that my salary as pri ncipal of the
high school was to be increased. and in fact
that matter was not taken up until the p.inci-
pals and teachers salaries had been adjusted.
l understand that only one member OF the
board kew that my salary principal of the
high school was to be advanced. There would
be no sense in a superintendent advocating that
salaries be cut. because his own salary would
have TO go down with the Others.
The board increased the salary of the
superintendent $500, making it 5000 4
year, the same as is paid at Seattle. On
returning Mr. Roberts to the high school.
the salary of the principal OF that school
was increased to s.. so. making it the same
as is SAID to be paid to the principal Of the
Seattle high school. Last year several
teachers were not allowed TO advance on
the salary list. which was equivalent to a
$50 cut and this year the salaries of sew
erai were cut. Mr.. Roberts advocates an
increase in the salaries Of about n dozen
teachers. and be estimates that $50 d.
vided between them would be satisfactory.
There are employed in the public schools
10 teachers and twelve principals. The
salary list is slightly below that paid at
Seattle. Mr. Roberts says. About $ii, 90
month is the total OF the public school
pay roll here.

The English and the Americans are both
rich, but which are the richer? Perhaps
the statisticians know or can find out,
but II is not certain that the statistical
answer would give the information that
one really wants. and which involves the
distribution 81 wealth as well as its mere
existence. Most Americans have to work,
but. as is well known, a considerable
proportion Of English people toll not
nor spin. and make no pretence OF doing
anything for a living. Is that because
the English are richer than we, or Is 1t
a matter OF taste. or a result Of primo
geniture? So also 1t appears from close

who lives I'm that way is looked upon as
