TEACHERS ASK
$500 BONUS AND
BOARD REFUSES
Women Teachers in High and
!. Grade Schools Request In
creased Pay
DISTRICT HAS NO FUNDS
Teachers Claim that Salaries Are
d Lower Here than in Other Schools
of this Class

Twenty of Kennewick's high school
and grade teachers have petitioned the
school board asking that each teach
er be given bonus of 5000 over and
above the teaching salaries for the
year.
At called meeting of the board
Wednesday evening the petition was
considered and the request refused. In
replying to the teachers the board
says it realizes that the salaries are
not as large as they should be nor as
large as the board wishes them to be,
but that there is no alternative. The
teachers attention is called to the fact
that recently special election was held
for the purpose of authorizing an adj
ditional tax levy to meet the neces-
sary running expenses in excess of the
regular levy. The expense budget,
to meet which the additional levy was
made, includes no item for increase in
salaries and consequently the board
has no legal means by which it can
grant the request for $4,000 in teach
ers' salaries.
Il In their request the teachers set
forth thatNthe increase in teachers
salaries has not kept pace with the.
Increase in the salaries of bus driv-
ers and janitors and that the salaries
paid here are lower than those paid
in other schools of this class.
The petition follows:
Whereas, we, the teachers of the
Kennewick schools, have been loyal to
our contracts and during the summer
have in many cases refused positions
with higher salaries thinking that. the
board, without request, might raise
the salaries to meet increased expenses
as many other boards have done, and,
Whereas, the Kennewick board in
the last two years has increased the
salaries of the bus drivers 80 per cent,
janitors rs per cent, and teachers less
than 10 per cent.
Whereas, salaries in schools the |
size of Kennewick, i.Se., Pasco, Pros
ser, Ritzville and Colfax range from
$3.50 to $126O per year for high school
teachers and from $10O to s115 per
month for grade teachers, in Kenne-
wick the maximum high school salary
IS 81 900 and the maximum grade sal
ary is $100 per month, Kennewick |
grade teachers having an average of |
~ pupils per teacher against 33 in
other places mentioned, and,
Whereas, we feel that we can no
longer disregard our personal inter
ests by teaching at the present sal
aries, we hereby petition the school
board for bonus of 5000 per year,
which will be received at the conven-
lence of the board at any time during
the year.
We request your decision not later
than November 6.
The petition is signed by all of the
twenty women teachers in the schools.
superintendent H. n. Hoffman and A.
" Marble, head of the agricultural
department., do not participate in the
request. /
The boards reply to the petition
sas mailed this evening and it is not
newn whether the teachers will ac-
eept it as final or will renew their re-
quest.

WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches, dir
ziness and distressing urinary ills? New
Iberia people recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Could you ask for stronger proof
of merit?
F. O. Hebert, upholsterer, St. Peter and
Center SIS, New Iberia, says; l
strained my back doing heavy lifting and
when I retired at night my hips and
back were so painful, I was unable to
rest. On getting up in the morning,
was lame in every part of my body. My
kidneys acted too frequently and caused
me a great deal of worry. l felt de-
pressed and when Il did any exertion,
tired quickly. Every little while l would
forget about my back being lame and
when l made a sudden turn, the pain
would be severe 1 finally learned Of
Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought me
relief in a few days. I took one box and
" as entirely cured of this trouble. 1t is
now year since had this attack and
have cp;oyed excellent health"

SPECTATORS TRY
TO GRAB LIBERTY
bonds AT BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Securities at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.

Atlanta-Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
eminent securities. Many Of them
are offering to take Liberty Bonds il
exchange for some other so-called
security" which promises a higher
rate of interest than Liberty Bonds.
It is pointed out by Treasury Of
ficials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One ev1-
dence Of their value is the ea9srness
of the Spectator to got possession OF
them. He knows what they are worth.
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value Of the STOCK or
bond" he is offered in exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have back Of them
the entire resources of the United
States which makes them worth their
facs value. The person who exchang.
es them for some other kind Of paper
risks losing the money invested In
his bond as well as the interest.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that ''the wars
over" and they are no longer oblig
ated to hold them. Although fighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed ant
our soldiers are home A Liberty Bono
IL a certificate of service and the per
son who sells them at q sacrifice is
deserving the cause. He is rejecting
on his own Judgment and patriotism
and surrendering An investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
It is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
relief from financial distress. Often
their first impulse Is to dispose Of thei1
Liberty Bonds.
In such cases the bank is the place
10 60. Banks will lend money on Lib
erty Bonds. The borrower is helped
eut of his difficulty and does not lose
possession of his Government bond.
