News Of The Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council

A communication from the Montana
State Federation of Labor concerning
a proposed amendment to the Teachers
Retirement Act was set aside for the
time being till more information was
obtainable. There seemed to be an in
decision as to whether the unions
should be in favor Of the amendment
or against it. The letter from the Fed
Grafton is as follows;
To All Affiliated and Central Councils
Greetings:
The last session of the legislature
appropriated one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for the fiscal years
July LIST, 1943 to June SOth, 1914, to the
Teachers Retirement Fund.
The teachers are taxed five per cent
Of their salary which is deducted from
their pay check each month and the
same paid into the Teachers Retire
ment Fund.
A movement is now being made to
create sentiment to amend the Teach
ers' Retirement Act by the next SEES
sion of the legislature to place a tax on
school districts to an amount equal to
three and one-half per cent of the sal
aries each district pays to the teachers.
Many school districts in the State are
taxed up to the limit and if this pro-
posed new tax will raise the tax levy
over ten mills, then an election Of tax
payers within the school district must
be held to vote the increase in taxation.
If any school district votes down the
increased tax to be paid into the
Teachers Retirement Fund, then the
proposed amendment will be a dead
letter.
On the other hand, the State of Mon
tana levies no taxes for state purposes,
yet is able to accumulate money in the
State Treasury each year, after paying
$3.50, 100000 a year into the Teachers
Retirement Fund.
Many school districts in this state
at present are not paying fair salaries
to their teachers, therefore to make
school districts pay a tax Of three and
one-half per cent of salaries to the Re
tirement Fund will very likely prevent
an increase of salaries to the teachers.
Some legislators are opposed to Civ
ing aged teachers a pension, they fight
and vote against any bill to appropriate
any money from the State Treasury to
keep these opponents Of a Teachers
Pension from being in an u|nfavorable
spotlight in the legislature, the attempt
will be made to place a tax on School
Districts, which cannot afford such tax
instead of taking the money from
the State Treasury which can afford it.
If you favor a pension for aged
teachers and are opposed to the pro-
posed amendment, then have your I'M
ion appoint a committee to call on
your legislators before they go to Hell
ena and urge them to vote against the
proposed special tax on school districts.
Remember, it is our PUBLIC
