COUNTY SCHOOL HEAD DISCUSSES
FOR THE COMING YEAR

for $291,385 and for high schools
$155 ,99342. This year the county
is called upon to raise S309, ,642 42
and $160,139 an increase OF $22, 1886.
THE elementary districts last
year asked to have raised $205, ,479 %
and the high schools 76,059.36, a
total of $48l ,53864 This year their
requests call for district leyies Of
elementary $184,634.86 and the
high schools for $191 ,91312, a total
of $376,547.98, decrease OF
$1O4, ,990.65.
Combined, the call upon the
county and districts this coming
year is $82,60565 less than that set
for the year just past.
This reduction will be further
increased when the valuations and
tax rates are set, since a few dis
tricts have requested more than
the legal rates will provide.
Last year two districts only,
both small, levied no local district
tax. This year Alamitos, Andrade,
Colorado, Elm, Eucalyptus, GlamiS,
Highline, Lantana, Meloland, Rose
Silsbee, Verde and Westside school
districts will require no local dis
trict tax levy.
I'VE woul5 emphasize the fact
that the local school board controls
the tax situation, that many of
them have made notable reduc-
tions, that a decrease of S104990 in
district tax nullifies a $22,385 in
crease in county tax levy. that The

the tax situation and the methods
by which this side of the educa-
tional problem may be handled by
school boards.
Attendance records, the most per

interesting information concludes
the statement issued to the press of
the valley, in which he says:
1.-THE regular annual increase in
attendance in the secondary schools
is slowing up and in the elementary
schools is almost at standStill.
"The amount contributed by the
state is slowly but steadily increas-
ing, the amount contributed by the
county is increasing, but the amount
coming from the local districts is
decreasing. This is especially evi-
dent in the reduction of district
tax requests for 1932-1933 as COM
pared to those for last year. (But
it is only fair to call attention 10
the fact that the actual receipts
from both county and districts were

LOUD WILL TALK
ON OLYMPICS AT
CHAMBER DINNER

"a Review of the Tenth Olym-

talk to be given before chamber Of
commerce members at Wednesday
evenings dinner meeting of that
body. Henry l.. Loud will be the
speaker.
This should be one of the most
interesting meetings of the summer
season." said Mark M. Munson,
chairman Of the chamber of COM
merce program committee. Henry
Loud is best fitted of any of our
local folk to comment on the Olym-
pic games. He witnessed all the
events. Frequently he sat with the
judges in the great Olympic sta
dium. Several times he was called
upon to assist them in arriving at
their decisions. I hope every mem
Der of the chamber of commerce
attends to hear Loud give what 1
promise will be highly interesting
description of this greatest of all
athletic contests
Loud gave several talks last
month on the origin of the Olympic
games before several Ell Centro or
ganizations. These talks were re-
plete with interest. 1t is expected
that his report upon the happen-
ings at the Tenth Olympiad, just
brought to a close in Los Angeles,
will be fully as interesting.

Film Good One

Just so darn simple and natural

plain way one spectator at Fox I'M

The First Year" starring Charles
Farrell and Janet Gaynor, and
which will be shown for the last
times tonight.
The popular screen sweethearts
have a fine vehicle for this picture
and an excellent supporting cast,
each of whom seemed TO fit par
ticularly into the role assigned.
The romance, trials and tribula-
tions of a young couple during their
first year of married life, brought
chuckleS and sympathetic sighs to
those who saw the picture
Not a shot, not gangster, not a
suggestion of sex is evident in the
entire plot, and yet it is the type
OF picture that most people will
enjoy.
The principals have splendid
parts and act them so well that
one hopes there will be more Far
rell-Gaynor pictures. There can't
seem to be too many of them.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Aug. Is. Max
Carey. manager of those sweet
singing Brooklyn Robins who sud-
denly became clawing, scratching
birds of prey, was headed west to-
day with five gallons OF the At
lantic ocean which he hopes will
keep the Birds near the top OF
the National League.
For the ministerial Max discover
ed that the Robins won whenever
he took a morning swim at Coney
Island, and more often than not
they lost when he failed to get his
daily immersion. And it required
a sports editor, with a nose for the
supernatural to discover that Max
was taking the daily victory dip.
Mister Frank Wallace of the
Daily News unearthed the startling
fact. On the morning of July "a,
with the Robins poor seventh
and apparently out of the race, Max
breezed out to Coney Island for the
first time in years, and splashed
around in the surf
That afternoon the Dodgers whip
ped the Phillies, playing their best
ball Of the year.
Max put two and two together
and bright and early the next
morning took another swim. The
Robins won themselves another ball
game. Business kept Max. in town
the following day and the Robins
lost.
Convinced now that his daily
plungeS were the cause of the
teams success, Max hasn't missed
a day since that time. And the
Brooklyns won 10 out of "a games,
enough to shove them into third
place, two games from the leagues
lead.
Water Taken Along
Unable conveniently to get the
Atlantic ocean in a Pullman car,
it appeared for while yesterday
that the Robins would have to start
their crucial western trip without
their lucky charm. But at the last
moment, Carey had brilliant idea.
He got ive-gallon jug and made
a flying trip to Coney Island. And
early today when the Robins pulled
out. Manager Carey could be seen
standing on the observation car,
with five gallon of Atlantic ocean in
his hand. He plans to sprinkle
himself literally each morning with
the charmed waters.
Those of US who are rootin' the
Robins home are hoping and pray
ing the lucky token won't fail. For
this last swing through the west,
on which they will engage Pitts
burgh and Chicago, their red-hot
rivals for the flag, is a make or
break proposition. The Brooklyns
have got to be a better road club
than they were on their two prev
ious swings through the hinterland.
The first time from home, the
Robins failed to play 500 ball
dropping something like nine out
Of 16. Their second shot at the
west brought them but eight vic
tories out of II starts. Another
such lukewarm trip and those world
series tickets owner Steve McKeeV-
er is already having printed will
have to be stored away until some
other year.
But they're going to do better
than fifty-fifty. The boys are slug
ging from their spikes, smacking
that ball with enough of the old
power to offset weak pitching.
They hammered out 1O9 hits for SO
runs in winning six of their last
eight games. And in baseball they
still pay off On the club that scores
the most runs.

FARM AID FACES
NEW DIFFICULTIES
Short Session Action May Be
Limited to Price Fixing
and Refinancing.
w the Associated Press.

" the Associated Press.
With fresh difficulties piIing up. en-
ectment Of farm relief measures at the
short session of Congress may be lin
We'd to some emergency program such
as price fixing and possibly mortgage
gefinancing.
As conferences on agricultural aid
continued and Senate and House COM
mittees prepared to study the question,
the conviction grew among Capitol Hill
leaders today that any comprehensive
program for either farm relief or fiscal
Ireadjustments must await special ses-
sion.
Many Obstacles Seen.
President-elect Roosevelt and his
Democratic chieftains seek to avoid this,
but considering the controversial ma
ture Of the questions and the sho-tness
of the session of Congress, which opens
Monday, there appeared to be many
obstacles initiating against speedy en-
actment of permanent policies.
While House Democrats remained un-
decided on the form farm relief should
take, whether it should be based on
the domestic allotment plan, the equali-
Eation fee or export debenture Senator
Robinson of Arkansas the Democratic
leader, was expected here today, fresh
from conferences with Roosevelt at
Warm Springs, Ga, and primed for
drive for beer-fo--revenue and aid to
farmers at this session.
In this conenction, Congressional
leaders carefully considered President
Hoover's attitude. with word circulat-
ing in some Republican circles that
vetoes await both the farm relief meas
ures the Democrats have in mind and
beer proposals. Whether that is true
or not it is questionable If there are
sufficient votes now to override such
vetoes.
1888 Crop Emergency.
But farm leaders profess to believe
Roo1evelt wants to meet the 1888 crop
emergency, and they are willing to ac-
cept temporary measures such as the
price-fixin bill that was proposed in
the last session. Under it, the Agri-
culture Department would strike an
average cost of production for distressed
commodities and all dealers in them
would be forced under Federal IL
censing system to quote price fluctua-
tions at points always above the cost
figure

TIE purpose Of this article is to present in conven-

and state laws.
The last Congress lowered the exemptions and raised
the rates The last North Carolina legislature raised
the rates The consequence is that many persons who
were formerly not subject to income Tax now have
70 pav one and many persons who formerly paid an
income tax now have to pay much larger tax For
example man with wife and with two children and
an income Of $4,000 had to pay, two years ago no
