TRUSTEES WORTHINGTON AND
WHITE MAKE AN EXPLANATION

To the Voters Of Fl PasO. Texas:
Many criticisms Of the present School
Board having come to our ears in
which they have been censured Tor
holding up the pay voucher OF Miss
Lula Jones, one OF the teachers in our
public schools, on account of her fall
ure TO secure a certificate from the
department of Education. at Austin,
which criticisms we consider unjust.
we feel IL our duty TO the public, in
justice to the School Board. to make
statement OF the facts as we know
them to be.
Sometime in the early part Of the
summer of 1916, Miss Jones. as well as
all other teachers, We're asked to pre-
sent their certificates to the Super
intendent.
No further attention was paid TO this
matter until the latter part of the year.
or about the LIST of the year 1917, when
our attention was called to the fact
that she had not even then complied
with the requirements As the law
makes il unlawful for the School Board
to knowingly pay any teacher not in
possession of a certificate. she was
again notified to produce her certiff-
cate. which she again failed TO do.
she having reported that she had writ
ten several times 10 the State super
intendent for the certificate. but mad
not been able TO get any answer. Ine
superintendent was directed to adj
dress a communication to the State
superintendent in regard to the mat
ter. and on December 2Sth- 1916. he
made the following answer
Replying to your favor OF recent date
in regard to kindergarten certificate OF
Miss Lula Jones, permit me TO advise
that no letter has been received from
Miss Jones at this Department relative
to a kindergarten certificate. Under
the law il is necessary for n person
TO be in possession of a teachers GER
tificate valid for the full time TO be
covered by the contract before any
legal contract may be made TO teach
in the public schools. Any person who
teaches in the public schools without
holding a valid certificate may not
be paid any salary for Such service.
Sincerely.
W F. Doughty.
State Superintendent
Pursuant to the Instructions given
in the above letter, on January 10,
1917, the Board directed the Auditor
to withhold the voucher until the Ger
tificate was presented by Miss Jones
The Certificate was received oy
Trustee Mayfield on March .. 1871
PAYROLL and voucher were made ana
she was notified that the voucher was
ready for delivery on March 5rd- We
feel that this statement is due 70 US
the School Board. and to the Public.

FURTHER CUT
IN TAX RATE
BY COMMITTEE
Levy Against Athletic Goods
Reduced-Discuss Tax
on Spirits.

Washington, June 1.-THE house
var tax bill was decreased about ss.-,
O0o.0o today by the senate finance
committee in deciding to reduce the
manufacture tax on athletic goods,
patent medicines. perfumeries and CO.'S
metics from to 2 per cent.
Rates on distilled spirits. malt
liquors. wines and soft drinks. raising
an aggregate of about s166,000 900,
were finally approved by the commit
tee virtually as drafted by the house.
The committee also ratified its for
mer tentative approval of amendments
by Senator Gore of Oklahoma placing
prohibitory taxes upon cereals used
In manufacturing distilled spirits for
beverage purposes and also prohibit
ing importation of such beverages.
The house rates of s2.20 per gallon
on distilled spirits and $2.75 on malt
liquors were retained, although with
the prohibitory tax upon new manu-
facture of distilled spirits the S2.20
rate would apply almost exclusively to
spirits already manufactured and
withdrawn from bonded warehouses.
Reduction of the tax on patent medi-
cines involves a revenue loss of more
than $1,000 900, and at the new rate of
per cent will now raise about s3,4O0,
900 instead of ss,500,000.
The reduction In the rate on athletic
goods will reduce prospective revenues
from that source from s2,0o0,000 to
$500, 900
