CITY SCHOOL
TAX RATE OF
STOP IS SET
Levy Is 6 Cents Lower Than
for 1932-1933; State
Aid to Be Given.
BUDGET CUT HEAVILY
Principal Slash Is Made in
Salaries of Teachers
for Coming Term.

City school tax rate OF $1.02 for
1888 1884, to provide a budget OF
$5,775, 583, tentatively was approved
Tuesday night by school commits
sioners, following submission of fig
ures by A. B. Good, business di-
rector.
Hearing at which objections can
be presented will be held Sept. IL
when final action will be taken. The
figures then will go to the county
tax adjustment board, which will
meet Sept. 10.
The $1.02 rate is 6 cents lower
than for the 1882 1888 school year
and the budget less by SITS, 1877
However, the budget provides for
only about $350,000 less than was
spent in the 1892 1888 period.
Tax basis for 1882 was 90 cents
but there was a deficit of about
$425,000 This was absorbed by de-
priving teachers of twenty-one days
pay prior to the close of schools in
June this year.
Further Cuts Made
Further reduction of teachers
salaries accounts for 100000 of the
$779,897 budget reduction. This
brings the total reduction of teach
ers' salaries in the last two years
to an average of about Is per cent
Local taxpayers burden will be
$528,088 less for the school city, be-
cause of increased revenue to be re-
ceived from new taxes. Benefting
from the new state aid bill, the
school city will receive from the
state 5000 a teacher in January, or
total of $324,800.
The school city estimates that it
will receive $158, 1873 from intangibleS
taxes and $87, 446 from excise taxes.
Miscellaneous receipts expected
would make a total revenue of
$934,777. A reduction of $1O5,0 900
under the new act reduces the state
apportionment to $465, 900.
Other Reductions Made
Besides the salary cut, further
reductions were possible in expen-
ditures for debt service, libraries,
free kindergartens, art institute,
and The Children's Museum. Total
education cost has been reduced
from $5,770,143 to $4,346,096.
Reduced effectiveness in class
room work will be direct result of
heavy reductions, declared Paul G.
Stetson in a statement to the board.
Considering the relationship of
the NRA program to the school city,
Stetson said:
THE NRA program will mean an
increased need for adult education.
We can not meet this new and i'm
portant demand because of our re-
duced budget"
Sees Serious Problem
Stetson stated that a serious prob
lem may arise from the decrease in
size of the teaching staff and the
anticipated increased enrolment in
high schools, due to the NRA codes
discouraging child labor.
The board approved the appoint
mentS of Crowell w. Shelton, ele-
mentary manual training; Harold F.
Irby, printing, Shortridge high
school; Louise Headrick, Shortridge
high school; Mary E. Walton, Mae
nell V. Hamlin, George Gray, Flor
ence Norton, Crispus Attacks high
school,; Virginia Cochrane, Wash
ington high school, and Hazel Whize-
nand, Emmerich Manual Training

Hundreds of spectators crowded

An auto load Of hoodlunS came

Just as the players took the

The board of governors of the

his mysterious assailant in the
Mushroom, explained in a terse
statement that he was struck by

Long said he was attacked by
gangsters. Other witnesses, who
withheld their identities, said he
was hit by an unidentified man
who objected to his manner of
approach.
The blow opened an inch long
cut over the senator's eye.

Employees to Get Quarter
Million Annual Boost,
Firm Head Says.

Several thousand employees of the
Real Silk Hosiery Company, GIL
North Noble street, today voted
wage boosts totaling $25O,O00 a year
and got them!
If this sounds preposterous or I'M
real in a country struggling out OF
depression, skeptics are referred
to the executive board of the En-
ployes Mutual Benefit Association
of the Real Silk Hosiery Company,
or to j. A. Goodman, president OF
the firm, for confirmation.
Announcement of the wage boosts
were made by representatives of the
employees and the company to The
Times reporter while Goodman
nodded acquieScence.
1.-The wage boosts are based on the
fact that business is improving with
Real Silk" Goodman explained.
Agree to Pay Request
after the recommendation for
wage raises was made by the en-
ployes' association executive board,
the management agreed to it be-
cause of improvement shown in
business and from confidence that
business is going to get better in
the near future.
"This is the second increase
since July" Goodman added. "And
we have added 600 employees to our
pay roll since May"
Today's wage boosts are due only
in part to the NRA, Real Silk off,
Gals declared. Ability of the con-
Germ to increase it's pay roll at this
time also is due, according to OH
Gals, to the unusual labor set-up
and the fact that the national re-
covery act unquestionably has i'm
proved business.
Approved by Hays
In explaining the labor set-up of
the concern, L. L. Goodman, secre-
tary, revealed that Arthur Garfield
Hays, famed New York attorney and
champion of labor, had expressed
approval of the plan when Good
man outlined it to him recently on
returning from abroad.
THE employees association has
been in existence for more than ten
years." L. L. Goodman said. I'm
that period it has proved an I'M
qualified success. Our employees
know the exact condition of our
business. They have access to the
books of the company.
In the set-up by which raises or
cuts in salary are determined,
board, consisting of four representa-
tives of the employees, meets with
four company representatives, also
employees. These representatives are
elected by the employees annually.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1O-Post-
master-General James Farley's eff
forts to build up the Democratic
party by giving the state party
chairman a greater hand in the dis
tribution of patronage has caused
much discomfort among Democratic
senators and congressman.
Patronage is the price that many
lawmakers have been accustomed to
exact for support of the administra-
tons legislative program. In the
past, a state chairman has been re-
garded as some one necessary to
mobilize workers and raise money
for election campaigns. He has had
very little to say about who gets the
government jobs,
Senators and representatives re-
gard federal patronage as their own
soup. They don't like to have 10
