TEACHERS AFTER THE
SCHOOL BOARD

The Chicago Teachers Federation
it is said, will ask William A. Bither,
the School Boards attorney, for infor-
nation as to an alleged difference of
$S5S,92S, in two reports he has made
as to salaries paid teachers for the
years 1918, 1919, and 1920.
The first one was submitted to the
legislature May %. 1921; the second
was made to Mayor Thompson, in
private conference, on April 6, 1922,
and this one indicated the pay roll
for teachers involved $S5S,92S more
than actually was paid in salaries, ac-
cOrding to Miss Margaret A. Haley
business representative of the fedora
ton.
The teachers federation has issued
a pamphlet in which Photographic
reproductions of the two tables pre-
sented by Attorney Bither are shown
The facts, as shown in this pam
phlet, speak for themselves" said
Miss Haley In an open session of
certain figures as to the percentage
of the educational fund expended for
teachers salaries. These figures, the
printed proceedings of the board of
education show, were correct.
In a private conference with
Mayor Thompson, Mr.. Bithers gave
other figures to cover the same
ground. 1t follows that these were
not correct"

Washington, April 20.-President

gresS that no "phony" legislation on
the soldier bonus question will be
tolerated The certificate plan adopt

passed by tire senate, as will any other
measure that attempts to dispose OF
the bonus Without providing the money
with which TO pay it, the President
made plain.
To Senator Watson of Indiana, whc
visited the White House for the pur-
pose Of discussing the subject of the
bonus, the President expressed strong
disapproyai Of the shifting policy pur-
sued by the senate and house i'll meet

tired of explaining to- congress that
he will consider no bonus measure

The Lundin- Thompson board of ed
ucation was successful in drag gOOning
through the last Republican legislature
a law which increased its tax rate
from S1.20 to $500 per 800, upon the
pretext that the additional money.
amounting to nearly $4,000 900. was
needed to pay increased salaries to
teachers and construct new school
buildings to care for the needs of our
increasing population.
That excess revenue has been
spent in such a manner as to excite
the righteous wrath of the fathers
and mothers of Chicago. Instead of
employing it to build new schools. or
increasing the salaries of our army
of self-sacrifcing. loyal teachers. the
money has been wasted in the pur-
chase of pianos. talking machines,
useless furniture. rugs and carpets
and various forms of other merchan-

agree that the President was in deadly
earnest and that he made his posi-

misunderstood
Discussing methods of raising the
money for the bonus, the President
once more declared that in his opinion
the only reasonable and available
method 10 be followed was by the
passage of a sales tax measure. He

entire safety can enact Il general sales
tax measure that would not add tn

he stated. the treasury expects to

bonds accruing from interest on the
British debt The President declined
to give any encOura cement to such n
plan, for the reason that the acquiSi-
ton of such Il fund is too uncertain
and too far in the future to be con
Sidered at this time, in connection
with the debt to the service men. He
believes that any bonus measure passed
