AMENDMENT NECESSARY.


The Charter amendment that will be voted upon at
the special election be held June 2 is sufficient
alone to permit of the issuance of bonds. 1t will au
thorze the city to increase the bonded debt but will
, not confer the power for bond issue. This power
would have TO be obtained specifically at another spe-
cial election 10 he held later
Stated in !; practical way. the proposed amendment
is Charter provision framed to correspond with the
constitutional amendment which was adopted last
autumn. and by which. excluding the county debt of
SG1100O and the waterworks debt of S'.S0S0OO from
the public debt proper the city is enabled to increase
its bonded Indebtedness to the amount of SS9O4O0o.
The practical purpose of the amendment is to make
the Charter suit the Constitution that if the
should subsequently vote for bond ISSUE the bonds
would be legal and, consequently saleable under the
best conditions.
Without this amendment in the Charter. in order
TO meet stringent legal requirements. interpreted
by authorities in municipal law, the city would be In
Il prelicament should bond issue become imperative
at any future time Therefore. the amendment is
essary whether bonds to be issued in half year

official acts legal beyond doubt.
The amendment specifies that the city shall have
the power to increase its bonded debt in manner and

sttutonal amendment thus making it clear that the
amendment is designed to fit the Charter to the Con-
stituton and to meet conditions of law 1t specifies
the sort of public Improvements which may be made
by subsequent bond ISSUE classifying them as per-
manent public improvements
While the amendment is submitted in order to
allow the city TO submit proposition at early date
for bond issue for urgent public improvements the
amendment is worthy of adoption general principle
Even if proposition for bond issue should never be
submitted the Charter should be made to suit the
law as the city should accept all advantages offered
and he in position exercise its authority. grave
emergency might arise any day. compelling a large
investment for permanent work, and the city should
not be so hampered by Charter deficiencies that it
could not proceed without two special elections re-
sultng. at the least. in loss of valuable time
The voters should approve this amendment to the
Charter and give certainty TO legal points issue.
The amendment will definitely and certainly and e-
galy establish the city's powers in increasing the
bonded debt; but it will not authorize bond issue
New bonds could not be issued after this amendment
shall have been adopted without the of the
voters at another special election But the amend
ment is necessary as a legal measure to suit the
Charter TO the constitutional provision

dent characterized careless phraseology The local
enemies of the Iowa idea nevertheless reoced in what
they considered compromise victory-there was some
consolation in the fact that the platform did not call
for immediate revision.
tendency to compromise appears to be the vogue
in platforms In Ohio the Republicans declare guard
edly that changing conditions and the possible bene-
fits of reciprocity may call for timely reimbursement
of schedules. but protection as principle and as
policy must be administered by the friends of Amer
lean prosperity and must not be sacrificed"
There is no careless phraseolOgy about that. 1t is
just short of standp pat declaration just barely
liberal enough to recognize the existence of revision
sentiment-hut does any optimist for the revision
cause believe that it means what it says:
Both these platforms agree with theory or fit A
plan to compromise the Iowa idea out of existence
Revision in any event is remote contingency but
sufficient is said about it to decoy the weaker friends
of revision. 1t is reasonable to predict that the State

effect that he had promised to marry if

After his election he was the recipient Of

Study of the figures leads to the conclusion that
the public school teachers in St Louis might be better
paid Salaries are gagged chiefly by years of service
Those who have served the greatest number of wears

does not follow however that those of short service
are far behind in qualifications Only those can enter
upon the work of teaching who have fitted themselves
by long and expensive training and they are expert
in salaries far exceeds the range of difference in ab
ties or in value of services
The teachers ut the top of the list not too highly
paid. Head assistants receive only from 5000 TO SSl
year: first assistants from S52J to S735 and second
assistants from $40 to $500. Whatever NAV be said
of the $500 salary certain it is that the woman who
receives but Si2O for her years work poorly paid
considering her abilities and the nature of her work
and poorly paid in comparison. There are women of
ability of long and expensive preparation and of ya.
able service who teach in the kindergartens for 500

In increasing the pay it would seem to be lust and
from the standpoint of maintaining high standard
of service to be wise to apply tie increase chiefly to
