QUESTION OF TEACHERS PAY

been largely paid off. A great many
thousands of dollars in bonds have
been taken up. But the most press
ing debt Of all has not been fully
paid. This is the debt this city owes
to the teachers who have struggled
to educate children who, without that
education. would be of such cnor
nous expense, everything consid-
cred, that even the poorest estimate
of the monetary figures would be
impossible.
During New Years week the teach
ers worked School was in session
because of the compulsory vacation
during the influenza epidemic. But
the teachers we're not paid for the
extra time. True, they were paid
for the time they were off during the
epidemic But they did not cause
the epidemic and should not suffer
because of It.. They should be paid
when they labor overtime. The mere
fact that they do not band together
for the purpose Of Issuing ultima
tums to the board of education
should not deprive them of honest
protection and careful consideration.
In the first place the $500 maxi
mum is at least 5000 too low for the
grade of teachers receiving it. In
the second place no woman can be
expected to live on $50 month, 500
a month or $50 month. II the an
swer comes back that that is all they
are worth, then they are not the sort
OF teachers we want in Cedar Rap
ids. We want teachers that are
worth more than that and We want
to pay them what they are worth.
We believe the legislature will
force payment of schoolteachers for
twelve months in the year. We are
positive it will no longer permit
such ridiculously low salaries as are
paid in SO many instances in Cedar
Rapids. Lieutenant Governor Moore's
idea of a ten months school term in
CITY schools is worth while. 1t should
be adopted. Also, his proposal to
require one months educative study
for every teacher each year holds
good That keeps the teacher at
work eleven months in the year. and
makes a minimum of $1,000 year
not one bit too high. Teachers who
draw the maximum OF $50 a month
now in Cedar Rapids should have
500 II they give eleven months
service.
At any rate there is no reason why
this city should wait for show
down" wait until the law compels
it to do justice. Contracts signed by
teachers for the present school year
should be disregarded. flat bonus
for the year should be given every
underpaid teacher and salaries IN
creased until the public's conscience
need no longer hurt.

flor houses and barrels of bricks were sent by

taxpayers stood in the breach, until they re-
ivolted, and paid for it all.
It would be grave, terribly serious and
perhaps irreparable mistake for this govern
ment to begin on this disastrous course Inc

congress should fearlessly attack with all It's
wisdom, all its energies, the problem OF MAX
ing business safe for the nation, beginning with
those utilities and universal needs upon winch
the public welfare so largely depends.
Nor should congress- having done this, cease
its labors. No government can afford at any
time to stop well-doing for the common good.
That is the function for which governments
exist; and the age when nothing more will re
main to be done is not in sight and probably
never will be- Congress should boldly, reso-
lutely, take up the task of making the nation
safe for business, of making the general pub
lie safe against the inconvenience, loss and
danger growing out lockouts, walisouts, hold
ups, shutdowns, strikes mob violence, rlots.
These things should never in any circumstances
be permitted to occur. 1t IS within the re-
sources of wisdom, within the province OF con
gress and within the power OF the American
people to prevent these things while doing no
injustice to any organization, interest, group

PHASES OF ALTRuIsM.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat A man
who insures his life for a million dol
lars may be called considerate for
others. To obtain this pleasure costs
$4,000 a year, a bird in the hand
that many would prefer to the indul-
gence of testamentary generosity.
But the dominant stakeholder In the
Chicago National league baseball club
went beyond this the other day, when
he paid $4,000 for one year on the
ordinary life plan. He said some
thing worth more than a million II
all to whom the remark applies will
take his friendly hint. After he had
been searchingly examined by eight
physicians, representing twenty-five
companies, and found to be an excel
lent risk, he was asked how he had
maintained such an exceptional physi-
cal condition. He replied that "the
things / liked in life took place in
the early part Of the day and not
late at night" If all for whom this
observation contains a moral would
give a penny for the thought the total
would prove Mr.. Wrigley's altruism
to be notable. He must die before
his million insurance can be distrib-
uted. and his kindly admonition is
thrown in for immediate benefit, and
is as well expressed as if poor
Richard had turned the sentence.
In addition to this, Mr.. Wrigley
takes his recreation in our national
game, form of physical culture
familiar to nearly all our victorious
soldiers and sailors. If, as has been
said, the battle of Waterloo was won
in advance on the cricket fields Of
England. the American boys, who
smashed the German flank in France
with their aggressive tenacity, had a
fine start on the diamond courses.
Baseball Is more intense than cricket.
| Altrlfism is much at the front, and
this example suggests its many sides.

SAFETY FIRST AND FIRST SAFETY.

There are theorists who would have the gov
eminent take over the packing establishments
and go permanently into the business of sup
plying the country with meat and the multi
tudinous by-products of that industry. But
is the government impotent to regulate bust
ness which manfestly needs it without buying
it, conducting it and putting its scores of

gas, OIL electricity and the countless other
things which most Of the people use? In time
we should have half the people working in one
way the other and drawing salaries or wages
from the state. Soft jobs they would be- easv
to fill, pleasant to hold. The principal work
of politicians would be to get them for con
stituents; and the principal concern of those
would be to keep their political providers in
power.
The fact is that the scheme of government
ownership is radically wrong in theory and
dangerous in practice. What single business

dramatic and historic episodes. Yet
he never failed to keep his home life
bright by constant association with
his family and friends. His studious

abreast of current thought in many

Washington better than any other

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Yesterday
we read an interesting document. 1t
was the payroll OF the Cedar Rapids
| schoolteachers. AS we read it we
understood better than before why
the legislature of the state of Iowa
is going to be compelled at it's pres
ent session to take up the question
Of teachers pay and solve it for COM
munfties such as our, which seem
loathe to solve it for themselves. We
heard that this payroll is going to
be taken to Des Moines for use as
evidence OF the need for an in
creased wage. We're sorry that this
is to be. for that payroll will be poor
advertising. 1t shows us to be lag
CARDS on proposition that is OF
significance in every hamlet and city
of the state.
That payroll presents figures to
show that teachers in Cedar Rapids
grade schools receive the princely
pay of from s55 to $50 a month, nine
months in the year, and exclusive
OF principals. whose salary in few
instances runs as high as $3.50 a
year and in one instance to s1,375.
Can you imagine a young woman
teaching full day-not half-time,
mind you-for fifty-five dollars a
month? Can you imagine the sort
Of existence that must be hers on a
sum total salary of five hundred dol
lars a year? We can, but We hate
to do 1t. Can you imagine a teacher
! who has devoted ten years or twenty
years to the development of the
youth Of this city for the maximum
of eighty dollars month, or seven
hundred and twenty dollars year!
True, she may have had a bonus OF
fifty dollars a year thrown in. That
