BLAMES LOUIS LARSON FOR THE
SCIENTIFIC BUDGET

That the scientific budget prepar-

out making provision to pay the sal
aries of teachers in the elementary
grades was the work of Louis Lar
sen was the declaration of Miss Mar
garet Haley of the Teachers Fed

said. "They have been shifted from
one fund to another Under the pres
ent scientific" budget it is not pos
sible to do that.
Larsen served notice in December
that the salary fund would be $1O7,-
900 short. He said it would be over
come, but could not show how.
Larsen is opposed to having the
teachers salaries raised. believe he
did this to show that Mrs. Young's
recommendation was impossible.
when there was $350,000 extra in
1913 as a result of the one and
quarter million from back rentals in
1912, another million from the quad
rennial assessment in 1913 and the
additional appropriation of the legis-
lature in 1911, Larsen insisted there
was nothing with which to raise
teachers saalries.
He had, however, certain item
of $407, 900. said you know that
item does not take 100000, He
said, Yes, know it. l asked him if
he knew it required about $107, 900
and he said he did. But he stated he
had been instructed by McFatrich to
make, it that way.
Mrs. Young, however, saw
through the move of making the ap-
preparation budget so it would not
pay, the salaries of the elementary
teachers and it will be fixed so that
the supply fund will be drawn on for
only seventy per cent and the re-
naming thirty per cent will be ap-
piled to the teachers salaries"
