TEACHERS TO ACT J. C. HOLLAND DIES
Topeka Instructors Organize
To Go After a Raise.
Will Make Strong Effort To Get
Salary Increases.

The question of higher wages for
the grade and high school teachers of
Topeka is rapidly reaching a breaking
point. The local educators are going
to leave no stone -unturned in their ef-
forts to obtain higher salaries for next
year.
A movement has become organized
with this aim in view. 1t has not yet
officially been brought to the. atten-
tion of the board of education, but will
proba bly, be an important feature at
the next meeting.
The teachers say that they are not
being pail in accord with the value
and necessity of their work, and that
other cities have boosted salaries to
a more comfortable figure than those
now being paid by Topeka

Friday afternoon-the afternoon of
Memorial day-Topeka will entertain
the 353d an-Kansas infantry. The IA
nous regiment of the Eighty ninth
division will tramp Topeka's triumph
trail. But the regiment will be the
guest of Kansas on that day. Topeka
merely furnishes the place where the
entertainment is given.
The arrangements for the reception
of the men in this regiment are prac-
tically the same as were the arrange
ments for the receptions to the men
of the Thirty-fifth division. The only
difference is that the reception COM
mittee which will officially greet the
men of the regiment will be statewide

wide.

FLOAT new LOAN?
Government May Have To Make
Another Campaign.
Faced With Requests for S Bill
lions Appropriations.

Washington, May 28.-Faced with
requests for appropriations totaling
$4,000, ,0OO, 600, congress had begun to
figure on new plans of financing" !"
the government would have to float
another loan.
Frequent references to the govern
ments financial status on the house
floor brought out these points:
That on May 1 only S2.226. 000. 900
of the victory loan money remained in
the treasury.
That expenditures were still ranging
upward of 81, 900, 900 month.
Must Be "Cut, Cut. CUT
That taxes and other sources of rev
enue can be expected to produce not
more than $4,000. 900, 900 in the next
year, and that this figure may be re-
duced. The treasury now has out
standing certificates of indebtedness
which exceed in amount the balance
of the victory loan held, it is pointed
out. In addition to this, authorization
has been granted for more than
enough to absorb taxes yet to be COL
lected," house information shows. Yet
deficiencies, the aggregate of which
has not been determined, will have to
be met. and the various committees
are preparing to report them to the
house.
Representative Moore, Pennsyl-
vania, declares the policy will have to
cut. cut. cut" and even then it
would be impossible to pay all debts
without some changes in the plan of
financing"
Majority leaders do not believe that
the plan instituting an cover the coun-
ter sale" of bonds will provide enough
money to meet requirements. This
plan was understood to have been de
cided upon by Secretary Glass to avoid
another popular loan campaign.
Expenses Keeping Up.
Monthly disbursements by the treas
ury have not fallen below $1.1S9. .OOO,-
600 at any time since the signing of
the armistice, Representative Fess,
Ohio, says. In December. the month
after actual hostilities ceased, he says,
the government paid out $4,000, ,0OO,-
600 and for January the disburse-
ments were s1.962 900, 900; February,
1,1S9, 900; March. 1880, 900,
and for April 1925, 100000
Il can see no signs of immediate re-
lief" Fess says. THE expenditures
are likely to continue around $1,40O,-
100000 per month for some time And
If they are to run that high certainly
new plans of government financing
must be evolved"

save CITY SHADE!
Condition of Trees in Topeka
Is Alarming.
Move To Buy a Municipal
Spraying Machine.

The condition of the shade trees in
Topeka is becoming alarming and
action has been taken by C. b Mer-
riam, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, to purchase a municipal
spraying machine for the purpose of
killing the insects and worms that are
reducing to a winter nakedness the
limbs of the beautiful elms and naples
that line the city's streets and boule-
wards.
Canker worms. borers and other
pests eating at both the roots and tops
of the trees are causing more concern
this year than at any other tim, in the
history of the city. Merriam in CO.
Giffert, is planning to buy the sprayer
either at the expense of the city or by
popular subscription.
E. +. A. Reinisch, city park commits
s!oner, says the sprayer would stop the
pests almost completely. He says
Furthermore that the city should en-
ploy a forester whose duties would be
ncerned altogether with the care of
the city's shade, both in the parks and
in the parkings.
The Dallas-to- Boston army aviators
who were in Topeka last week, made
this comment to members Of the
Chamber of Commerce:
when We flew over Topeka hunting
for our landing place we were surprised
and awed at the beautiful sight below
us. The city appeared like a forest.
dotted here and there with the reg
ular lines of pavements and an oc-
casional roof that was able to peek
thru the shrubbery."
Robbed of her trees Topeka would
be robbed of her beauty. 1t is time

L. s. Attorney Advises Cities To

Topeka's mayor and chief of police
have invited police chiefs from the
larger cities in Kansas to meet in To-
peka June to discuss means of ham
ding any embarrassing situations
which may arise in Kansas during the
harvest seasons as the result of 1. w.
w. agitators.
Anticipation of trouble with these
tired men out of work, who would
destroy and tear down and demand
exorbitant wages, is admitted by fed
eral and city and state authorities.
Prompt handling of the situation is
demanded by the Kansas farmer and
for that reason the police chiefs have
been invited to Topeka.
The action of Topeka officials fol-
lows the issuance of a warning to all
/. w. w. in Kansas, or who expect to
ply their sabotage and other nefarious
lines of questionable endeavor during
the coming harvest season, by Fred
Robertson, United States district at
torney. Last year the I. W. w. were
responsible for the destruction of
thousands of dollars worth of grain,
thru efforts to stop the production of
food with which to carry on the war.
This year jails will be filled with
these undesira bles, according to Rob-
ertson, who has issued a call to all
peace officers to be on the watch out
for the first signs of the non-working
fraternity.
Employment Service Active.
The United States employment serv-
ice of Topeka, while not taking an
active hand in the elimination of the
I. w. w. will certainly not place any
man in the Kansas harvest field if it
| is known, or even suspected, that he is
an agitator, or holds membership in
the organization made famous by Hay
wood
Robertson says that the I. w. w. are
out for revenge for last years treat
ment. Several of the men who are
suspected of creating disturbances and
destroying property are still in jail
awaiting trial at the October term OF
| federal court. Those who are still
| outside the prison bars will undoubt-
| edly try to create reign of terror this
summer in order TO secure the free
| dom of their less fortunate brothers.
| Robetson urges every town and city
! to strengthen the jails preparatory tc
| the big drive on the disturbers.
An appeal is being issued to all la
borers in the cities to take two

vest fields. by Z. Z. Frizell, state labor
agent, and it is believed that many
will take advantage of the opportunity
to earn some extra money while help

state ever saw.
