Teachera' Pensions

70 the Editor Of The Times
Did YOU ever stop TO think what the
teachers pension law, now in force
over our State, is costing each tax.
payer on his personal property and
real estate?
Teachers in general stand bitterly
opposed TO this ABDOMINAL law and are
trying TO have Il erased. II IS unfair
in most OF its principles. Practically
all the teachers arc coerced TO join
The pension list. a certain amour is
charged each teacher, as the State
pension board sees mt. in order to meet
all expenses brought about by this
law This amount is subtracted from
the teachers salary In October. De
cember and February, The State is
taking for granted that the teacher
Is incompetent TO handle her financial
affairs and needs tho State pension
board as a guardian.
Now, after the teacher pays about
s35 per year the State must pay, &C
cording to the law, "a TO the teachers
So, or, when the teacher pays $35 the
state pays about S4S out Of the State
tax levy. The teacher is also a tax
payer and must pay q portion of this
S4S If she has 81 900 Of property she
pays SO more than the $35, rs the pen
sion levy Is mills on the dollar
A farmer having eighty acres valued
at 500 per acre must pay~$16 a year
for teachers pensions. The taxable
property in Grant County Is $50, 600
900. Hence Grant County must pay
S178,000 a year to keep this ridiculous
law In force. The fight IS the tax
payers "a well as the teachers. This
is now before our State Legislature
Let's relieve the taxpayer as well as
the teacher from this unfair and I'M
necessary burden. All the teachers
ask is that the state maintain for
them n reasonable salary.

Z JUST heard a man say that he

found that one of them never men

he is correct.
Now since agriculture was almost
the whole life of the majority of the
people Of the United States up to a

whatever these books may be. they
are not really histories. Yet readers
Of the future will perhaps read these

What is the origin of the New
Zealand red rabbit and is it
good one for commercial pur-
poses?
Some doubt exists as to its origin
When first exhibited. about the year
1909. it was claimed that the animals
had been purchased i'm a New Zealoud
port and brought TO America by
sailors. While this claim has not
been disproved, it is now believed that
the animals are a cross between the
White Giants and the rich, red Bel
sians and originated in America. The
New Zealand red rabbit is )pular
wherever It has been introduced. It
is well known in nearly all parts Of
the country and probably viii boone
our most important utility rabbit. It
grows very rapidly. weighing six
pounds when months old and nine
to ten pounds when mature at about
y months.
