SCHOOL ELECTION DEC. 3-IMPORTANT
QUESTION TO EVERETT CITIZENS

Voters of Everett are no doubt in
terested in the next school election
when they have to vote on the pro-
posed l 1-2 mill levy. This election
will be held December 3.
All intelligent voters will no doubt
vote for the proposition. If you
vote for the levy it means no cut in
the salaries of the teachers; if you
vote against it, you are in favor of
cutting the salaries of the teachers.
The following statements will tell
you what you get for your children
by employing underpaid teachers. 1t
is not necessary to state that or
ganized labor favors good salaries
for good teachers.
Organized labor should turn out as
one man at this election. While the
teachers are not affiliated with or
ganized labor,we are sure that they
will affiliate sooner or later, and if
we do give them good turn in this
election, they might come with us
sooner than we think.
The following statements and fig
ures are published by the legisla-
tive committee of the Parent-Teach-
ers' Council for the information and
guidance of the voters of Everett.

The Telephone Dividend.

Only on rare occasions has the finan-
cial district been taken SO completely off
its guard as it was yesterday, when II.
b. Thayer. president of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company. an
nounced that its dividend rate would be
increased from s per cent. to 9 per cent.
in July. For several minutes after the
announcement was flashed the district
was astounded. and many traders were
unwilling TO believe the report. For
that reason II was several minutes after
the first announcement reached Wall
Street that the price of the stock began
to reflect the new policy. Once under
way. however, the buying occasioned by
the surprise carried the stock by rapid
leaps from 100 to 10sh. where 1t closed
A decided division of opinion as to the
wisdom of the company's action. espe-
cially in view Of the fact that an appli-
cation for very substantial increase in
rates was pending. was heard in the
Street. Many were of the opinion that
the increase in the dividend rate fore
shadowed new issue of stock, but in
the annual meeting II was definitely as
serted that no such action was in
tended.

Readings Upturn.

The sharp upturn in railroad stocks
yesterday was particularly noticeable in
Reading common, the move in which
was accompanied by reports that agree
ment to give more favorable treatment
to the common In the plan of Reading
dissolution along the lines of the brief
prepared by the Prosser committee had
been reached. The matter, however, is
in the hands of Federal Judges, who
may direct that the plan as submitted
be amended to meet the objections of
the Prosser committee. There Is no di-
rect evidence. of course. as to what the
judges may do In the matter. but 1t Is
significant that the Prosser committee
has heard no protest from any holder of
Reading preferred. The reports regard
ing more favorable treatment for tho
common came from such soarcos that
they could not be ignored, and impartial
lawyers who have studied the Reading
plan and it's amendments suggested by
the Prosser committee hold the opinion
that the court can rule equitably Only
along the lines OF amendment of the
plan, and Wall Street looks for action
in the near future.
