PLY on salaries of teachers who re-
eeive from the town where they are

estimated that the amount Of state aid
called for on this basis for the school
year ending June, 1922, will be in the
vicinity of $4,000, comparing with q
present reimbursement of approx
mately 1927 900 The increased aid for
trained teachers, it is hoped, viii en-
able the rural communities TO more
easily secure and retain competent
well-trained teachers.
A plan is well under way looking
toward the standardization and i'm
provement Of rural school building

ALMOST EVEN
BILLION DOLLARS
TAXABLE WEALTH

m
JEFFERSON CITYNMo., March 8.
State Tax Comfiasion, IA is
report to the State Board of Equal
ization Wednesday, fixed the total
taxable valuation of Missouri real
estate and personal property at So
$50, 17S,154.
This exceeds the assessment fixed
by the State Board of Equalization
for taxes in 1920 by $3,S76,S99,6s2.
The Tax Commission fixed its valua
ton after one Of the most extensive
surveys of Missouri property valua-
ton which has been undertaken by
the commission since it was created.
The aggregate valuation given ap-
proximates the true value Of real es-
tate and personal property IN Mis-
souri,.
Bills for the reduction of the state,
county and municipal tax levies are
now pending in the Legislature. When
the State Board arrives at tentative
figures by counties in its equalization
the legislative leaders will reduce the
rate in conformity to the higher as
sessments.
While county courts and municipal
levying bodies now have full author.
ity to reduce their tax levies, the
members of the State Board Of
Equalization want to restrict the
amount of taxes which may be col.
lected upon the higher valuations to
just enough to meet county and mum
icipal needs.
The Tax Commissions actual value
! figures exceed the Assessors figures
by $1,858,935,3 06. They were 81,
