II is the judges belief that the

Executive Says High Cost OF
Living Makes Better Pay
Matter of Necessity

Governor PinEham favors a raise in
the salaries Of nubliC school teachers
and in transmitting the school budget
10 the house today. recommended that
the legislators consider an increase,
owing TO the advanced cost of living.
In his Communication the chief en-
ccutive suggests the following appro-
priation to cover the proposed in
crease:
For September, October, Novembey
and December, 1911. S23,669.6S.
For. the l2 months, 1918, ST. .0o9.04.
This is a total Of S94,67S.I2.
The budget of the school department
for the next biennial period calls for
1888, 040. This is divided as follows:
General fund, $226,540; special fund,
1892, 500.
One of the first persons here to rec
onmend and urge a salary raise for
teachers was Henry w Kinney, super
intendent of public instruction, who
expressed the hope that this would be
provided for by legislative measures.
1t is evidently the governors intention
to urge that his figures be added to
the school budget already completed.

may take up government land on
