SCHOOL TAX INADEQUATE
FOR EXPENSES OF SCHOOL

According to the figures furnished
by parties attending to the assessing
and collecting Of the school tax for
The Lubbock Independent School Dis
trict we find that unless there is
something done in the near future,
we shall find our fund unequal to
the expense for maintaining Of the
fine school which we have and of
which we often boast Facts are. no
matter how hard 20 face. the income
is lacking just about 100000 to
meet he necessary expenditure.
No doubt the school board Of the
city have faced this problem and
fought hard against IL, yet a careful
survey Of the following facts will re-
mind the reader Of just the position
they are facing
The value Of the taxable property
for the independent school district OF
Lubbock is placed on the rolls for
1919 at S5.37l .0200O As this dis
trict is carrying the maximum
amount Of tax Of $50 on the one
hundred valuation Of this property,
Il is readily seen that S26. S55.i0 is
all the money coming from this
source; on top Of this amount the
State furnishes its pro rata amount
ing toward 100000 making a grand
total ~ a little more than thirty-two
thousand dollars for the maintenance
of a nine months school
The figures we have regarding the
expenditure Of the money on the
school are that about or approx
mately thirty-seven hundred dollars a
month is needed TO carry on the
school. or about two thousand dollars
more than the income for the nine
month period
How IL Came About

hs1ed 10 u spite Of strong pressure 70 the contrary at
times until this year.
Nov the most significant thing about this little seq.
ment Of the labor movement history Of the country IS
that labors greatest gains have been made since 1886
and the American Federation of Labor Is the only
labor organization this country ever knew which had
the vitality to stand up under all assaults and hold its
gains The labor organizations that have from tune
to time been taken INTO politics by over ambitious lead
ems have been destroyed and their influence utterly lost
There ought TO be considerable warning in these
well authenticated facts for the members of the labor
unions IN Marion county where few men who have
managed to get into prominent positions are using the
power which they have acquired In effort to play
politics. If the unions permit these schemers and
shapers 10 commit the unions to mass political action
the organizations m tme bound to fly to pieces and
then the whole work of organizing the district will have
to be done over again. Every clear thinker on the
labor problems Of democratic countries like the United
States and Great Britain has realized that the labor
movement ought to remain an economic effort. his
permits the individual members to preserve their per-
Sonal Independence and keeps the passions winch are
peculiar to politics out of the labor movement
A year ago it was freely predicted that the next
election in Great Britain would put labor government
in power There very large labor party over there
and it has acquired considerable political experience
But it has been losing ground steadily of late and to-
day here is not much probability that it would be able
to swing an election If the coal strike which scheo
uled to begin today ends unfortunately for the strikers
the labor party may even lose the chance of being the
balance of power and fall into such state that It
will be possible for the other parties to coal esee against
il. And that inevitably will have an adverse effect
upon the British labor movement.
On the whole the labor movement and politics do not
make good running mates and thoughtful and sincere
members of the unions had better take steps to put an
effective check upon the leaders who have been playing
fast and loose with the power Of the unions. No self
respecting member of union will permit four or hive
fellows to lead him around by the nose, and ne at
least ought to insist upon having all political questions
threshed out fairly and squarey before any action
taken in the name of the locals the central body
