Rep. John M. Coffee continued
his campaign here Monday night,
addressing a well-attended meet
ing sponsored by 9th legislative
district Democratic precinct COM
mitteemen at Odd Fellows hall.
Among other things. he said:
THE national defense program
Is universally supported. However,
the American people will not toll
crate a repetition of the creation
of war millionaires such as took
place in 1917. All veterans organ
izations have demanded for years
that excessive profits be taken out
of war and defense preparations.
The tax bill passed by congress
must be amended at the next ses-
sion. No valid excuse exists for
the elimination of competitive bid

for the abolition of limitation upon
profits, nor for an unfair write-off
of corporate income taxes in the
upper brackets because of plant

Some Teachers
Salaries Below
Those in 1920

Salaries Of Tacoma school
teachers are. IN many instances.
below those actually paid here 20
years ago. City superintendent
Howard r. Good told members
OF the American Association Of
University Women At the Y. W.
c. A Monday afternoon
Goods statement was Offered
in response TO a question from one
OF the women's group. who said
she felt published letter from a
local taxpayers organization last
week was unfair" in its express
don on restoration of school en-
ployes' salaries.
The superintendent explained
that a salary schedule had been
set up here about 1921 and ad-
hered TO until 1890. when the de
preston began TO be felt. For
example. he stated, the maximum
for high school teachers was
1920, paid only after years of
service. At present these teachers
receive slightly less than 5000
year under the schedule, or 81 Dos.
Corresponding cuts have
been made down the line. the
most drastic being applied to
the unprecedented employees.
Custodians who once got sl60
per month now are paid S145.
The cut below schedule on all
employees of the school average
between and 10 per cent.
Goold. who had discussed the
five-mill levy for the schools earlier
in the meeting, said he was a bit
puzzled IN regard 10 the stand
taken by the taxpayers group
last week. as their published state
ment seemed to concur in the chief
detectives of the five mill levy:
retirement Of warrant debt, i'm
provement of facilities and
proper salaries" for employees.
1t was pointed out by Goold
that II salaries were paid here on
the same basis as elsewhere in the
state, where the average cost is
approximately S11 more per pupil,
that more money would have to be
raised than can be allotted to the
purpose should the five mill levy
be approved by Tacoma voters
next Tuesday.

OPINION GIVEN
ON NS SURVEY
c. - - -

Although actual invoices for The
work cannot be produced until iobs
have been finished, Dr.. Harry "
Holloway, superintendent 81 the
Board OF Education, has set arnounts
in his requisition high enough to
cover the costs of the work.
Since the transaction does not
involve the transfer OF funds. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Morf0rd. the bud
get commission has no jurisdiction
in the case. and it is solely for the
determination OF the state treas
urer and state auditor.
Quotes State Statute
In making his ruling, Mr.. Nor
ford referred to the last paragraph
of 433 Section % Of the Revised
Code Of Delaware, 1885, which reads:
Provided further that it shall be
lawful for the state treasurer during
the last month Of the fiscal year 70
set aside, out of the moneys appro-
priated but unexpended, sum snfi-
cient to pay all bills for which re-
Quisitions have been issued in ac-
cOrdance with the provisions Of this
during the said fiscal year,
but which remain unpaid, provided
the auditor shall certify to him dur
ing said month that such acquisitions
have been made. and against what
appropriations, and that the audi
Tor desires the setting aside OF sufi-
cient funds to pay the same; and
moneys so set aside shall not be
leemed or held TO lapse or revert at |
