TEACHERS RAISE
MUCH DISCUSSED
Lawmakers Fear It Will Cut
Too Much From Reve-
nue. in Sight

Ite queC1on of state revenues is
going to have considerable to do
with the increase in salaries asked
by the school teachers of the state
and from the way in which 1t is
viewed here now by legislators who
will handle appropriations 1t is diff
cult to see how the teachers, worthy
as their cause is acknowledged to
be, can expect to obtain the entire
amount of money from the state
that they desire. Something close
to S2O,000,000 is biennially appro-
priated for public school purposes,
according to Chairman William j.
McCaig, of the House appropriations
committee and he claims that some
method along the lines of local
taxation to meet increased teach
ers' salaries will have to be arrang-
ed if the project is to be successful
i'll the way that the teachers want
ii to be. There is n disposition on
the part of the Legislature to grant
S5,000,000 toward the increase in
salaries and that would leave smany
millions more to be piled by the
school districts of Pennsylvania.
To do that some school districts
would have to obtain the consent of
the Legislature and signature of the
Governor to increase, the limit OF
their powers to assess school taxes.
The thought of the teachers that
this monty can be taken from other
accounts here and transferred to
education has thus far failed to fall
on fertile ground. Some have sug-
gested that the state look about for
additional sources. of revenut but
with the various taxes, all OF them
heavy, that the nation is eXacting
from individuals and the business
world alike, the lawmakers are leary
about increasing burdens of business
establishments and corporations of
pennsylvania at this time. The cor
porations have always stood the bur-
den of taxation in this state. There
Will be a drop in liquor revenues
and while the automobile tax is
always bringing greater revenues it
is appropriated for roads. The ac-
tivity of Auditor General Charles
A. Snyder has added to the state
receipts, but there is not near
enough, those competent to know
say to take care of the teachers re-
quest.
1t has beten suggested here that
the teachers present comprehen-
sive plan to the Legislature, where
by the state gives part and local
districts big part of the salary in
crease

THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
, DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets
are aHarmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit OF DR.. Edwards's determination not
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little oiive-colored tablets.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold of the trouble and quicklycorrect it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel, but to let DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they "ciear" "clouded
brain and how they ~perk up" the spirits.

SPROUL TALKS
ON STATE RIGHTS
Makes Speech at Pittsburgh
Which Takes Wilson
to Task

The declaration that the Wilson
government at Washington could
not have been able to do all the fine
things accomplished during the war
IL it had not been for the generous
support of the Republicans in the
House and Senate, was the theme
of the speech of Governor Sproul at
the luncheon given in his honor by
the Americus Republican Club at
Pittsburgh on Saturday. He spoke
later at the annual banquet of the
Chamber of Commerce. together
with Carter Glass. Secretary of the
Treasury, and Congressman Fess, of
Ohio.
The Governor was introduced hS
Mayor Babcock, who highly COM
plimented the Republicans of Penn
sylvania for their choice of William
c. Sproul as Governor. predicting
that in the great reconstruction
period opening up Pennsylvania
would take n foremost part because
of It's great industrial centers, and
that as leader in this great work
the best man in all the State was at
the head of the government
Governor Sproul said: The one
big thing we want TO accomplish is
TO get back into the hands of the
people those principles that have
been taken away from us by the
authorities at Washington, and it is
up TO the Republicans of Pennsyl-
Nania and other States to bring this
about. l am proud to say that the
Republican members of the House
and Senate at Washington made it
possible for the authorities there to
accomplish the big things of the
war. for they stood behind them
even better and more staunchly
than their own party. but the time
has come now for the Republican
party to reassert itself and be the
leader in the great reconstruction
period facing the United States, and
when L think of what stuff the mill

The people IN each affected country,
rather than invading armies. may be re-
quired to put down Bolshevists before they
are permitted civilized recognition or the

Enormous disadvantages will attend any

An invading army in Russia will inevitably
provide propagendists of the red cult with
the material for representative and in
fammatory campaigns among the unln-
formed masses The Allies cannot afford
even to be making war upon peoples who
believe themselves to be seeking freedom.
Ultimately it may be necessary to Isolate
