The bureaus position has been
clarified as follows:
The Pierce County Taxation
bureau has carefully studied the
facts in connection with the re-
quest Of the Tacoma school board
for an extra levy Of mills which
will be voted on At the Nov. 5
election. This millage increase
which amounts to approximately a
10 per cent increase In the total
taxes levied on all property within
the district. will produce approx
mately $3.50 900.
1T has been verbally stated by
at least one Of the school authori-
ties that OF this sum approximately
1892. 900 would be required for the
proposed restoration OF employees
salaries. OF the balance. 500. 900
would be used for the reduction OF
the now rather substantial warrant
indebtedness Of the district. which
at June so, 1910. stood at 1927 900.
and the remaining $4,000 would
be used for repairs, equipment,
books. supplies, etc.
Called Misleading
For the school year ending June
80 1889. the last for which figures
are available. approximately s134.-
900 was spent for these items. II
is therefore evident that this $751;
600 would not add any consider
able amount OF funds TO provide
for better school facilities.
while the Pierce County Tax.
alton bureau In not opposed to the
payment Of proper salaries, II ID
submitted that the use OF the word
restoration Is misleading An an
alysis would indicate that the pres
ent salaries pair are quite in line
with the actual salary schedule
which has been in effect In this
district for many years past. II
the sum Of 1892 900 IL added to the
present schedule 1t will mean the
payment OF salaries far higher
than have ever been paid In thi,
district and II seems only proper
that the voters should be informed
of this fact.
THE impression has been given
that the schools are over-erowdeo
and that school revenues have beer
dropping off. The fact il, though
that the average annual receipts
for the past IL years, including
1929, amounted to s1.51s,570.51
while the receipts for the last year
being 1899, amounted to 1881
%0os7. During this period tbs
greatest receipts were during the
year 1880, the figure being 81,
734 900, and the lowest in 1888

1939-40, the school board without

HIT DISCRIMINATION AT STATE FAIR
Pop SIPS, Hamburgers 75c
At State Fair When Or
dered by COlOred Citizens

Ored fair patrons that their trade
was not wanted. A protest by the
Spokesman and Recorder newspa-
pers resulted in the removal of the
signs by order of the state fair
secretary.
Discrimination however has con-
tinued on the grounds with the
years without real action by the
state fair management. This year
citizens were led by the N. A. A. c.
P. with the assistance of white or
CARNATIONS who are against these
un-Minnesota, un-American prac-
tees.
Wednesday, Mrs. Stewart and
Mr.. Chivers went to the Fair
grounds to swear out complaints
against the offending employees.
When they arrived there the pro-
prietor who had evidently been
tipped off told them the fault lay
with the employee who refused them
and that he had been firedl In the
committee which went out to the
Fairgrounds, Wednesday, were
Rev. and Mrs. Stewart, Miss L. o.
Smith, N. A. A. c. P. attorney;
Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr., of the st.
Paul Urban League, and Lewis
Ewing.
Organizations and individuals
which lodged protests included
Henry Murray of the Minneapolis

tional League for Peace & Free
dom; CLIO. Unions and Luverne
Noone, a member of the Interna-

board and the pastor in an effort
to straighten out a tangle which
threatened to split the church.
Approximately 300 members and
others Of the church were on hand
to greet the prelate. The church
man gave a short travel talk and
reminded the audience that he and
Mrs. Gregg had just celebrated
their 10th wedding anniversary.
After his talk he asked that all
non-members of the church be ex-
cused because the church was hold
ing a family" meeting. A number
of the visitors complied with his
request.
After his talk Frank Branson,
suspended steward, arose to his
feet and asked the bishop why he
had been suspended from the stew
ards board. The bishop did not un-
derstand Mr.. Branson, evidently,
and Richard L. Stokes, ST., a MEM
Der of the trustee board, explained
Mr.. Branson's question.
The bishop told him that his sus-
pension was a matter which would
have to be taken up at a regular
quarterly conference.
Thomas A. Neal, a member of
the trustee board, spoke Of the
trouble which had been handicap
ping the church for the past sew
eral weeks. He said because of con-
ditiOns existing he could not be
with Rev. Hayden. ....a
Mrs. ]. E. Johnson, prominent
woman, Sunday School teacher
and wife of another trustee, said
she was for the right but when a
person is wrong they are just
wrong whether they be minister or

support the church as long as Rev.

fragrant discrimination against
Negro men, women and children
Fair-gOers was reported this week.
While there were large numbers
of complaints, two of the most glar-
ing cases were reported by Rev. C.
F. Stewart, prominent Minneapolis
clergyman whose family, seeking
s cent bottle of pop, were told
by a fair concessionaire that it
would cost them SLIPS per bottle.
Another case was that of Mr..
and Mrs. Curtis Chivers of 4O17
Clinton and their fOu children who
were told in the Kenyon restaurant
on the fairgrounds that they
would have to pay rs cents a sand
witch for hamburgers which were
being sold to whites for 5 cents
each.
Protests were lodged with Ray
mOnd Lee, state fair board secre-
tary, by Rev. Stewart. Later Clar-
ence M. Mitchell Jr., of the St.
Paul Urban League and Cecil E.
Newman, Spokesman and Recorder
editor, went to the Fair grounds to
protest against civil right viola
tons to the chief law enforcement
official on the Fairgrounds, As
sistant-Attorney General Frank ].
Collins. Also sitting in on the con-
ference was Justice of Peace Nick
Lebens, who hears all law viola
ton cases at the State Fair.
Since 1880 determinations
against Negroes on the tax sup
ported state fair grounds has in
creased steadily. Two years ago
coneessionaires became so bold
that they erected signs warning col
