"If education is concern and re- sponsibility of the state. and If it Is necessary in order to insure an in- telligent citizenship and protection for life and property, then it would seem fair to conclude that the burden of taxation for e,lttation should De fair ly distributed and borne equally by each dollar of taxable values in the state, whether 1t be In the form of general property. incomes, inherit ances, gasoline sales, bank stocks. in- dustrial stocks or other values," Mir. Holmes declares.
 The statement follows:
 That the tremendous increases which have taken place in school ex- penditures as well as in all other branches of municipal expenditures during the past six or seven years should have aroused general com ment, criticism and opposition is not a source of surprise or wonderment for any school administrator. It is rather cause for deep concern, care full study, and serious consideration by all of us, whether school superin- tendents, teachers, school committee men or citizens.
 This question of increasing school costs is fully discussed by President Pritchett in the recent report of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advance ment of Teaching. He contends that unless the increase in the cost of pub- lie education is checked there Is no hope that the most of the school sys- tenn will stop short of the financial solvency of the various states and communities.

AMENDMENT TO CHARTER
 NOT GIVEN TO HOUSE
Move to Establish Municipal Garage Commission May Be Delayed Un-
 til Charter Report is Presented
Special to The IIerald). |.


 Hartford, April 3.--Mystery still surrounds the charter amendment clause relative to the creation of a commission of three for the municipal garage at New Britain. Representative filling still has the amendment and at noon today Senator Park, chairman of the legislative committee on cities and boroughs, had not seen hide nor hair of it.
 Senator Covert of New Britain has suggested because of the delay in the submission of the garage matter for legislative action, that the matter be held up until the New Britain charter amendments be brought up for action and then submitted as an amendment.
 It is thought that this method of procedure is the only fair one to pur sue because of the fact that hear ing on New Britain charter amend ments has already been held. It is expected that there will be no oppo- sition on the floor of the senate or the house, if this method of procedure is adhered to.

THINKS COMMUNICATION
 WITH DEAD IS POSSIBLE
Spokane Episcopal Bishop Sees This as EventuaIity-May Become
 Common as Wireless.

Spokane, April 3. - Church people and many others interested in the possibilities beyond life were discuss ing today the prediction by the Right Rev. Herman Page, bishop of the Spokane diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church that communication with the spirits ofg the dead, will eventually "be as possible as it is now to communicate by wireless"
 Bishop Page made this forecast at the meeting of the Spokane minis terial alliance.
 He took occasion to give recogni- tion to the Christian Science church which, he said, would progress as long as other churches refrained from taking part in the movement of spir- itual healing.
 The bishop added that he had no antipathy toward spiritualism.
 In his opinion the world todny is drifting toward a spiritnalistic move ment, though still in it's infancy may develop to great heights"
