the boards of super-districts at their

operate without favorable action by

such a school desired isolation status,

bill passed ''just as it is, that is, with
out amendment.
Montana's School Situation Is
Better Than Oklahoma's

Montanas communities almost with
out exception have made a large in
crease this year in the salaries paid
to school teachers. They have done
this instead of squandering school
funds in paying for long school-bus
hauls over unfit roads, and the ap-
proach they have made to decent sal
aries is attracting teachers from Ok
lahoma and other states. The over
crowding of classes is not so extreme
as it would have been if forced con-
solidation had been imposed AS soon
as an adequate number of school
rooms have been built, there will be
release from the frightful over-crowd-
ing that retards education in so many
of Montanas larger towns and cities.
Oklahoma will not have funds for such
building, if 1t continues to waste school
money on long bus hauls like the two
hour trip from Waterloo to Edmond.
Higher salaries for teachers, and more
school rooms, are preferred in Mon
tana.

down the Threats of Montana people be more easily
accomplished with the current misrepresentation COM
prsing the 30h legislature than with the next assembly
which will undoubtedly find many of their strongest

Likewise, the chances of imposing sales tax yoke

a special session between and March l next year.
To that end you will increasing propaganda

session in typical Punch n judy fashion that other

This is time for dily-dallyng; time to be
asleep Rest assured that the otner side" is certainly
wide awake and is laying the groundwork
for a campaign predcated hysteria for unloading

must buy.
The demand today is for much needed improvement
of educational standards of decent salaries for
teachers better school plant equipment. And this
demand lies alone with the teaching professional
rapidly growing with all Montanans interested in the
welfare of future citizens.
Money to meet these demands will have to be forth
coming from the and unless the forces of special
privilege sneak through sales tax they will be
faced with having to nearly pay fair proportion
of the costs of maintaining our educational system.
