Thou Shalt Not Pass"

There is a determined effort being
made in the legislature to defeat the
minimum salary law, and to repeal all
its provisions. All of US realize that
the bill has some features which need
changing. but it does seem that it
would be a misfortune to have every
thing in the bill lost by repeal. / am
making an appeal to the people of
Montezuma County to give support to
this bill by urging you to get in touch
with our representative and senator
and insist that this, bill to repeal
the best piece of constructive educa-
tional legislation we have gained In the
state of Colorado must not pass.
word or two of explanation for the
benefit of those who may not under
stand House Bill No. 366 of 1921 School
Laws. On or before December lst the
County Superintendent must certify to
the State Superintendent the amount
Of money necessary to pay each teacher
$75. 90 for the entire number of months
school is in session. If the mill max
imum levy limit for the county is in
sufficient to pay each teacher $75. 90 per
month for the entire number of months
school is in session, then the State
makes up the deficiency. This year we
need, as per my certification to the
Board of Commissioners, and the State
Superintendent $48, ,625. 90 the s mill
county levy only nets US $31. .O79. 81.
This leaves a deficiency of SIT, AS. .43,
and this deficit is paid by the State of
Colorado. Should the bill to repeal this
law go into effect, the whole of Mon
tezuma county shall suffer. and in third
class districts where some of our schools
can hardly be maintained, it will be a
loss beyond redemption. So let our
slogan be Thou shalt not Pass"
