Text of Message.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The text
of the presidents message to con-
gress follows:
ITO the senate and house of rep
resentative5:
AZ sincerely regret that l cannot be
present at the, opening Of this SEES
sion of congress. I AM thus prevent
In a direct
as | could wish the many questions
that are pressing for solution at this
time. Happily, / have had the ad-
vantage of the advice of heads of
several Legislatures departments who
have kept in close touch with affairs
in their detail and whose thoughtful
recommendation / earnestly second.
In the matter of the railroads and
the reimbursement OF their affairs
growing out of federal control, |
shall take the liberty at later date
OF addressing you.
Il hope that congress viii bring TO
a conclusion at this session legisla-
ton looking to the establishment OF
a budget system That there should
be one single authority responsible
for the making of all appropriations
and tnaL appropriations Snouio bS
made not Independently of each other
but with reference to one single COM
prehensive plan of expenditure prop
erly related to the nations income,
there can be no doubt. l believe the
burden OF preparing the budget must
in the nature of the case, If the work
is to be properly done and RESPONSE
bility concentrated instead of divided,
rest upon the executive. The budget
so prepared should be submitted to
and approved or amended by single
committee Of each house Of congress
and no single appropriation should be
made by the congress except such
as may have been included in the
budget prepared by the executive or
added by the particular committee of
congress charged with the budget

Ell PASO, Tex. Dec. "A sensa'
tional story of the slaughter Of GA
Carranzista soldiers Of the Rancho
Espejo garrison by 1000 Villistas Is
credited along the border today de-
spite official denials.
Vice Consul Alberto Sandoval, o.
the Mexican consulate in Ell Paso,
after talking with the Juarez tele'
graph office this morning, emphatic
ally expressed his disbelief in the re
ported massacre.
In addition to DR.. l.. g. Gomez, OF
Los Angeles, another Chihuahua
City arrival here, j. B. Perez, agent
Of a New York importing concern,
declared he witnessed in Santa Ro-
salia heartrending scenes OF mourn
ing on the part of wives and rela-
tives of the murdered Carranzistas.
DR.. Gomez, one of the last friends
of General Felipe Angeles to be with
the rebel leader before his -execu,
ton, Thanksgiving morning, declared
the attack on the Carranzista garrf
son was to avenge Angeles death.
Perez stated today that Villa, far
from being down and out" as gen.
orally believed along the border, Is
credited in northern Mexico with
having 1000 strongly armed follow
ers, Perez heard rumors that villa
was planning to launch new cam
paign. OF which the Rancho Espejo
massacre, north of Santa Rosaiia,
was the beginning.
Although the garrison was wiped
out last Friday, with the exception
of colonel and lieutenant colonel,
no official report of the occurrence
has reached the Mexican consulate
here, according to Vice Consul San
doyal. Gomez attributed this to the
Carranzista censorship. Perez de-
cIared he heard the details or the
massacre from reliable persons IN
both Santa Rosalia and Chihuahua
City. Gomez had the story at third
hand, also.
In Ell Paso the massacre was SAID
to exceed anything Villa has ever
been charged with. 1t surpassed in
consequences the forest of hanging
bodies" a Villista outrage perpe-
trated several years ago, in when
over two hundred federals were
strung up in patch OF trees near

TEACHERS COMPLAIN
ABOUT LOW SALARIES
Montpelier Instructors Init
mate Action to Obtain Bet
ter Characterization Is
Statewide.

Teachers in the public schools at
Montpelier, who recently were refused
an increase in salary, have written the
state department of education to learn
what the consequences are when q
teacher breaks his or her contract,
especially as to what effect this action
might have in bringing about revoca-
ton of the teachers certificates.
The question Of the teachers as to
how far they may safely venture with
out injuring their standings in Kidding
themselves of the obligations of con-
tracts calling for low salaries is con-
sidered significant. 1t might mean q
strike If the matter took certain trend.
1t is admitted.
The Montpelier teachers recently ap-
piled for an increase in their salaries
from minimum of $50 per month to a
minimum of 500 per month The
school board refused the increase on
the grounds that 1t had not made a
levy on the basis of the higher sal
aries, and that therefore there would
be no money with which to pay the in
creases.
The situation at Montpelier Is known
to represent a statewide condition.
Teachers in many districts have COM
planned of the low salaries which they
obligated themselves to accept when
they signed contracts under the more
favorable conditions of last summer
and spring, when the cost of living was
not so high.
AS the levies of the districts for pay
ing salaries are inflexible when once
fixed and certified. the demand for
more money is embarrassing many OF
the school boards. Although most II
them agree that salaries are too low
! they are powerless to remedy the stu
alton heca use NJ the law REGARDING the
fixing Of levies.
