INCREASED TAX
RATE IN COUNTY
SEEMS CERTAIN
School Appropriation By
State Must Be Matched
In Imperial Valley.

That Imperial county taxpayers
are faced with a probable raise in
the 1928 tax rate was the start
ling information disclosed yester-
day afternoon at conference be-
tween the supervisors and c. B
Collins, county school superinten-
dent, relative to school budgets for
the coming fiscal year.
The probable necessity of raise
which may amount to as much as
four per cent came as blow to the
supervisors, who are powerlesS to
avoid the issue.
Such an event was first limited
when Collins declared the state this
year will give $4,000 more than
last year to county schools. School
law provides arbitrarily that the
county must match this sum. To
raise $4,000 the supervisors may
be forced to raise the tax rate.
School budgets generally have
been cut this year. so that reduc-
ton might have been possible for
the action of the state in increasing
the amount awarded to the schools.
A discussion of further proposed
cuts in the school budgets brought
out again the fact that the super
visors, although they may recon-
mend cuts, cannot take any action
If the school boards refuse to COM
ply with recommendations. Collins,
although he also may make recon-
mendations. cannot force a reduc-
ton In the budget unless the school
boards are willing.
When the probable necessity for
raise in the tax rate became ap-
parent. the supervisors went into
the school budgets In detail, max
ing several interesting discoveries.
Not the least interesting of these
was that five Imjerial Valley high
schools now have bank balances
totaling, in actual cash, $69, ,825.85.
The budgets of these high schools
make provision for carrying over,
next year, sum totaling slightly
more than this.
In other words, the supervisors
found, the schools keep this amount,
or similar amount, in the banks
at all times. The county draws
interest on this money.
Most Budgets Cut
Figures showing the amount spent
last year by each of these high
schools, and the amount asked in
the current budgets, also were as
certained by the supervisors. In
most cases these budget figures
showed an effort to make reduc-
tions wherever possible.
Central Union High School last
year spent s149,51e50, and this yeaS
is asking $130,4 Brawley high
school spent $130075.08. and wants
500, ,638.30. Calexico spent S54, ,159 "a
and wants $55,76o. Holtville spent
$52,599.17 and wants $47,234. I'M
perial spent $44 4,183.28 and wants
$44, ,776.67 Calipatria spent $685.
097.14 and wants S46,050. A build
ing campaign will be carried on at
Calipatria.
Central high school has on hand
this year S10,665.61 as a surplus,
and next year wishes to carry over
$4,000. Brawley has only S263.94,
but wishes to carry over next year
33,361.70. Calexico has 1868. .76
and wishes the same amount for
next year. Holtville has $6,254 and
wishes $4,000. Imperial has sl6,-
23957 and wishes Sl6,02484. Cali
patria has $22,832.97 and wishes
1900.

BEVERLY HILLS, Aug. l.
(SpeciaD - Everett Saunders,
the very able head of the Re-
publican campaign, went clear
up to the old boss home and
Northampton to try and get
Mr.. Coolidge to help keep the
Democrats from getting their
bonus" this fall.
The army drove the soldiers
out. Now they want Coolidge
to help drive the Democrats
out Of Washington. Both armies
are equally destitute, in fact
the soldiers have worked since
the Democrats have.
This is not an election of par
ties, or policies this fall. It's
an election where both sides
really need the work. In fact,
I think if you would split the
salaries between every two can
didates running, they would call
off the election.
