MISSING ATLANTA
OFFICER RE-APPEARS

ATLANTA, Aug. A patrol
man here recently walked into the
police station just at the time num-
Der of his brother officers were pre-
pairing to drag a lake here for his
body. The patrolman, whose beat
was in Grant Park, failed to re-
turn one night and it was feared
he had met with foul play. He ex-
planned that he had told his home
folks that he would not be at home
that night, and had no idea that
anxiety would be felt over his alb

CHAMBER DEMANDS
Business Leaders Assert
E. Operating Costs Show
Upward Trend.

emphasized in resolution adopted at

penSes of government as a whole
have taken an opposite course"
At the same time the meeting urged
that the efforts of the chamber to-
ward reduction of waste in industry,
already having met with gratifying
progress" be prosecuted with in
creasing vigor and carried into every
branch of industry"

Again declaring in fovor of a poll
Icy of private ownership and opera
tion of public utilities, under Govern
ment regulation, the meeting assert
ed the facts presented in connection
with its discussions in this field had
reaffirmed the wisdom of the cham
ber's previously declared stand for
such a policy.
The meeting voted to propose the
following for nomination as members
of the chambers board of directors at
the election to be held in connection
with its annual meeting next Spring;

1t was decided to form a committed ee

Ne, "this school system has absorbed
1000 pupils with an increase in the
teaching staff of but seven teachers.
Any further adjustments and elm
nations increasing the teaching load
cannot be borne without seriously
impairing the school work"
Other school officers throughout the
state reiterate Mr.. Wilson's estimate
of the effect of the bill. Briefly sum-
married. these statements say:
w. H. Grayum, superintendent,
Puyallup-The 40 mill bill would re-
duce our school income from $127,-
814 to $75,632. The only thing that
l can recommend that our school dis
trict should do with $4,000 would be
to educate the first eight grades and
forget the high school.
Roy w. Glass, superintendent, Ray
mond-It would be impossible to
maintain schools in this city under the
cut proposed by the measure.
Charles Henry, superintendent,
Pullman-With state support with
drawn as it would be under the pro-
posed measure, nothing but disaster
would face this district.
R. H. Ewing, superintendent,
Blaine-It will be impossible for us to
retrench any further and maintain
our schools with the present depart
ments. For three years we have been
compelled to do without several things
that are highly desirable and cut
all expense to the lowest limit If
further retrenehment is required of
the schools some parts must be en-
tirely eliminated or discontinued; the
high school or the first two years of
the elementary school or possibly
both.
F. W. Tisdale, superintendent, Lake
Stevens-As superintendent of Lake
Stevens schools there are three pro-
positions that l could make to the
directors: First, close the high school
and shorten the year for the grades;
second, ask for a group of missionary
teachers who would donate half their
salaries and ask the school patrons
to do the janitor work; third, go be-
fore the electors and ask for 42.9
mills local levy.
These statements indicate the eff
feet of the 40 mill bill in typical dis
ltricts throughout the state. All the
evidence emphasizes the fact that
the smaller schools would be hit the
hardest. The large with their high
valuations might be able to survive
but in many of the country districts
the deficit which the 40 mill bill

EFFECT OF 40 MILL TAX
BILL ON TYPICAL SCHOOL
lcopyrishL. ". n. ~

How the 40 mill tax limit bill would
cripple the cause of education in
Washington is graphically pointed out
in summary of the effect on typi-
cal schools in the current issue of the
Washington Education Journal.
Facts submitted by school authorities
in number of districts emphatically
condemn the bill as a destructive
measure. These statements show that
the only alternative of the schools,
should the 40 mill bill pass without
any provision to take care of the de-
felt it would create, would be shorter
terms, fewer teachers, and elimina-
ton of many subjects considered es-
sential to the well rounded education
Of Washington boys and girls.
Arthur Wilson, superintendent OF
Everett schools, says passage of thii
bill would have the effect Of seriously
curtailing school activities there
During the last four years." SAID
