GREATER HOME RULE

Need of greater home rule for Phil.

government for the county and city

sion OF the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-

GRADUATED RISE
IN SCHOOL WAGES
New Legislative Measure
Particularly Benefits Lower
Paid Teachers
BOOST FOR NURSES. TOO
Bill Also Provides for More
Strict Supervision of State
Institutions
BOOST FOR NURSES. TOO
By a Sfo6 Correspondent

Harrisburg. Feb. e7.--A bill to pro-
vide graduated scale OF increase in
school teachers salaries is expected TO
make its appearance in the Legisla ture
next week
Leaders are understood TO have
agreed upon the death of the Weaver
bill which would authorize the state
to appropriate s2O,OOO.OOo to increase
teachers salaries, leaving the amount Of
the Increase to the jurisdiction of vari-
GUS school boards.
The measure now being drafted il to
benefit particularly. the lower paid
teachers. The higher salaried will re-
ceive only n minimum increase up TO a
certain figure and above that none at
all.
Considerable opposition has been
aroused over the state against the
Weaver bill because of the provision
which permits school boards to fix sal
airy increases. Many teachers have
come to Harrisburg to protest passage
of the bill, and meetings have been held
in various parts of the state by teachers
who are opposed TO the measure.
IT has found little favor in the eyes
of legislative leaders because of the
heavy appropriation. State officials are
counting upon more systematic col
lection of the mercantile tax to meet the
loss which will be sustained by the
elimination of liquor licenses after
July !.
Despite the fact that the mercantile
tax is expected to bring in n sum suf-
ficent to cover the amount formerly
received from liquor licenses, new rev
enucs will probably have to be raised
from other sources to meet the biennial
appropriations.
A bill which will be drafted for the
purpose of increasing the pay OF school
nurses i'm Philadelphia also is expected
to be introduced in the House shortly
In order to avoid any conflict with the
school code It will be presented as
separate measure from the teachers bill
The school nurses have been appeal
ing for an increase, but the weaver oil
made no provision for them whatever
AS the school nurses in Philadelphia
are said to be paid less than the schoo
nurses of many other big cities man!
of the legislators feel that they are en-
titled to increased pay as well as the
school teachers.
Action is expected next week in the
Senate on the Ramsey resolution TO in
vestigate the public school system OF
Pennsylvania. The proposed investiga
| tion will seek to determine just how the
money which the Legislature appropri
ates for school purposes is spent.
