CAPITAL LEVY |S
 STILL WORRYING
PalnIeVe Cabinet Yet Faces This
 Bugbear

Paris, June 1s Pp--Ths buxbear or capital levy, invoked by the socialists, still threatened the Pain leve cabinet and the left bloc of parliament today.
 It seemed probable that the firm. ness of Finance Minister Caillaux in opposing the capital levy demanded by the socialists would mean the wrecking of either the government or the left bloc, or possibly both,
 At the same time 1t was recog- nlzed on each side that this crisis. hke so many others in recent French politics, might blow over and that some simple solution might bs found. at least temporarily for what now appears to be a hopeless tangIe.
 It was admitted today that yester- days truce between the cabinet and the parties Of the left only coyered secondary points and left the zen. eral situation unchanged.
 Socialist leaders said that their slogan continues 10 be take tha money from where it is." that is from the wealthier classes under a capital levy. This, they said. is the big issue with little prospect of s compromise.
 The rank and file of the socialists are pressing their leaders not to yield, apparently because of fear that the leaders might sacrifice the principles Of the party to secure in. diyidual power in the government.

TAX REVISION IS ALMOST CERTAIN
Proposals for Change Are Gain-
 ing Momentum

Washington, June IS R - The subject of federal tax revision ic gaining increasing momentum cal. culated to lead to some action bs the next congress.
 Senator Oscar ". Underwood who helped write the first income tax law, in an address in Montgom. cry, Alabama, last night, declared for fiat two per cent income taz and maximum surtax of 13 per cent the pre- war figures.
 President Coolidge has formed some ideas on the subject and be- lieves considerable reduction in the tax load could be effected by eliminating the federal levy on in- heritances. In this respect he agrees with Senator Reed Shoot of Utah, chairman of the senate finance committee. who has predicted that the next congress will make an ef- fort toward lowering taxes.
 The Utah senator's view that the states should be called upon in turn to quit the income tax field, how ever. suggests in the presidents mind that such a step would present many difficulties. The revenue of some states, he feels, would be seri- ously curtailed if they were forced to abolish their taxes on incomes. The thirteen per cent sdrtax mixi- mum advocated by Senator Under. wood is about half that contemplat. ed in the Mellon plan and one third of the rate on the present law, which was developed by republican insurgents and democrats In coali- ton. He suggested also that estate taxes be reduced to the pre-war rate of 10 per cent from the pres ent 70 per cent.
 Senator Shoot said he believed the surtax rate would be reduced 10 25 per cent or perhaps less. He predicted that increased exemption would be accorded small incomes and that the tax imposed on them would be lowered.
 The reduced rates proposed by Senator Underwood would, in his opinion provide sufficient revenue for the government and If not, he suggested that some of the federal bureaus be abolished until expendi- lures do not equal revenue.
 T would slow down the govern ment,' he declared, "before 1t slows down the business of the nation."
 The high surtax rates, he said, had made 1t more profitable for the man of large means to abandon productive enterprise and invest money where he need not fear con. fiscation." He pointed out that un- der the pre-war law nearly 30 per cent of the revenue came from in- comes of more than s100,000 and in 1921 only four and one half per cent was realized from that source.

SCOPES REFUSES
 OFFERS OF MONEY
Evolution Storm Center Declines
 Movie Contracts

Memphis, Tenn. June IS R-AH earnest young man, to whom the original copy of the Constitution of the United States seemed 10 appeal more than movie and publicity offers of a small fortune was on his way to Tennessee today, prepared to be the selt-termed goat" next month in the widely noticed Tennessee eyo- lution case.
 John T. Scopes, the youthful sci- ence teacher, accused of expoundipg the theory of evolution to hls class at the Dayton, Tenn, high school, left New York, the New York Times said, after refusing offers aggregat- ing $15o,0O0.
 Then, stopping off in Washington, on his way home after conferences with defense counsel in New York the defendant eyinced greatest inter- est in the glass enclosed document of American rights, and in the chamber Of the supreme court, where even. tually a final decision in his case may be handed down.
 Refusing all money offers, which included $60,000 for a motion pic- ture in which he would appear, be- cause, 1t was said, he felt the trial was serious matter, beside which nothing else mattered, Scopes view ed the supreme court chamber with a distinctly thoughtful expression, 1t was noted.
 meanwhile, arrangements for tha trial continued at Dayton. The in. Tux of newspaper writers was sx. pected to be 50 great that a tels. graph company announced it haa assigned 10 operators to move tho story of the trial out of the litt1s tennessee town for world consump- tion.
 William Jennings Bryan. who will assist in the presentation in inc Scopes trial, gave further expresgion to his views on science and religion Tn addressing high school graduates at Miami, Fla. MT. Bryan declared that science is a great thing" but that religion Is the great thing"
 Education without religion may destroy you or make you a menacs 10 those about you" he said. .sThe heart is more important than the head"
 MT. Bryan referred to the 'litt,. case in Tennessee" asserting that the trial was joked about at f,rst. put that there was no joking now. Declaring that the greatest criminal lawyer in the country and three oth. CT outside lawyers will defenA Scopes. MT. Bryan said that the book used by the defendant "contradicts the Bible and sends children homo believing that the Bible Is a lie.n
 Another outside view on the eyoIr- Ion question was given by former Governor R. A. Nestos of North Da. kota. who is visiting at Nashville Declaring himself a "fundamental- ist," the former governor said that he could not wholly agree with a lot Of things being said and done by that group of which claim to be . part"
 My impression is that most of our controversies come from lack of dennitions, that in using the term evolution, for instance, we mean so many different things that our opin- ions fall to meet in great many of these arguments"

HOLD UP TEACHERS
 SALARY INCREASES
Board Cannot Grant Revised
 Schedule This Year

The monthly meeting of tn, school board was held yesterda, afternoon at 4.30 o'clock in tb, school superintendent's office or South High street and the teacher, council submitted a report on the re. sults of survey of the salary sched ules In various cities and q proposed new salary schedule for teachers This was referred to the teachers committee and the finance commit tee which constitute the salary com mittee of the board.
 The board will not be able to re- wise the salaries this year because of the fact, that the appropriations for the year have already been made and the adoption ~ u new schedule requiring more money than is called for, would mean a larger appropriation.
 The report Is. In part. as follows:
 "The list of salary schedules of ether cities was made from replies to a questionnaire sent out by the committee and from information ob- talned from a report, made by the National Education Association.
 Many localities are at present working on a revision Of their sched- ules either with Ariew to changing to other types of schedules or to raising the maxima of their present schedules.
 Some are using an identical schedule with even pay for men and women. Some are using what is call cd the single salary schedule where by the same salary Is paid to teach CTS with equal training and experl- ence regardless of whether they teach in elementary or in junior or senior high schools and pays a larg- CT salary to teachers In similar posi- tions who posses larger amounts of academic and professional training.
 Tt may be seen .on the list that many of the small localities around New Britain have as high and in some instances a higher maxima than New Britain. and that cities nearer the size and wealth Of New Britain have In every instance q higher maximum.
 According to statistics obtained by the National Education Assocfa- ton there have been two decided in- creases in teachers salaries, in gen. eral, throughout the United States since 1920.
 New Britain changed her sched- uIe to meet very urgent need in 1920 and has not changed the gen. eral schedule since that time al- though the salaries of some of the administrative officers and depart mental heads have been changed since then. After careful study of other schedules of our own present schedule. of the need of a change in our present schedule, and of the ability of~New Britain to meet the obligations brought about by such changes as we deem expedient, your comnaittee,.-~doea recommend a change because Of the following def- mite reasons:
 "1. The salary scale is below that of other cities which makes no high tr demands upon their teachers
 "2. The salary schedules deter mines the school boards chances Of retaining In its service the better teachers when one school board fixes the salary at a certain level and that of neighboring city main tains a level from $500 10 sl,ooo
