STATE NEEDN'T PAY

Santa Fe, Dec. 19.-Secretary of
State Antonio Lucero handed down an
opinion today after mature delibera-
tion, exempting automobiles owned by
the federal government and by the
state from the annual license fee. At
the same time he ruled that no refund
will be made to dealers who go out of
business before the year is up because
of the privilege that dealers have to
duplicate as many times as they wish
their license privilege. This applies
also to licenses issued to dealers at
the beginning of the year which are
not used at all.

TEACHERS PAY
SHOWS gain
RECENTLY
STATE AID AND PUBLICITY ARE
LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE INCREASE

Santa Fe, Dec. 19.--The salaries of
teachers in the public schools in New
Mexico show healthy increase in the
years 1928 over 1911-12, according
to statistics compiled by Professor R.
F Asplund and Statistician Paul Hall
OF the department Of public instrlc-
ton. This increase is attributed by
Professor Asplund largely to state aid
making a minimum of $50 as the sal
ary in the state aid districts. He also
attributes it to the publicity given in
the newspapers to the subject of
teachers salaries and the often-voiced
demand that these salaries be in
creased.
In 1912, 43S teachers received
less than 5000 for their total income
from teaching, while in 1928 there
were only 1873 teachers who received
total salary below 5000. In 1911-12
the total amount paid in teachers sal
aries in this state was 1922, ,902.10; in
1928 the total was $741, 1883,
The figures for 1928 are decided
~ interesting. The statistics show
there were 531 men teachers and 1,161
women teachers, making total of L.
$50. This total includes principals and
superintendents Of city schools, or all
those actually engaged in teaching
some branch or other. The total sal
aries paid per month amounted to
$1O1, ,22O.5O. The average monthly SAL
ary for men was a trifle higher than
that paid women, for it was $62.39 as
