Obstructing the Teachers
Salary Bill
By BILL PRICE.


the District Commissioners have decided to put rider
the teachers salary bill providing that the Board Of Edu
cation shall be placed under the Commissioners adding any
other matter that not directly connected with increase
IN the pay Of Washington teachers they should withdraw It,
Washington teachers entitled increases in pay Con-
gess favoraby disposed toward giving them deserved
increases but Congress tired Of local rows that develop
every time important question up.
The teachers salary bill that goes to Congress with the
recommendations Of the Board Of Education and the Com
msoners should be absolutely free from all other questions
The issue before Congress should be clear and simple There
should be friction in any direction No should be
given to any member Of Congress for opposition to the bill
Last years salary bill failed partly because certain leaders
Of Congress had that there marked diff
ferences Of opinion among the school authorities
Under existing laws all District estimates must be sub
mtted Congress by the COMMISSIONER They have the
final say to estimates prepared by the Board Of Education
subject Of course the Budget Bureau The Commissioners
are therefore within their rights in reviewing the bill and
suggesting changes that harmonic with the general scheme
soner well Of the strong sentiment in Washington
for better pay for local standards Of pay that rank
with other cities and communities.
Whether the Board Of Education should under the
Commissioners be appointed by Them abolished altogether
and the schools be put directly under the Commissioners
questions that have place in this salary BILL It do
nothing there Osuc fair sailing increased teachers
salaries. It is an unwise STEP
Why not settle question time? If the Commission
wish make fight get rid of the Board of Education
as it exists let them do it separate and distinct mat
ter anse may De many VINO % agree with the Com
dent boards in the municipal now and that to
extent they bar the way to smooth sailing in District
affairs But those who agree with the Commissioners
will sympsthze with them in the injection Of matters
into the teachers salary bill that do not belong there this
time
familiar trick Congress for those who wish to kill
obsuct its passage to introduce riders foreign
to that thus subecng to parliamentary points Of
order and to endless conflict in committees and the floors
of the houses Of Congress.
The time is when Congress will have to make the
Board Of Education wholly independent Of Commissioners
responsible directly to Congress subordinate it to the
Commissioners abolish it altogether, leaving the
soners to operate the schools under the direction Of the
Superintendent Of Schools
The divided responsibilities have brought endless friction
for years and it must be stopped.

At the conclusion Of the second
stroke the electric spark ignites
the gas at the top Of the cylinder
and the expansion drives the pis-
