In short, it provided that teach
er when discharged could call for
a hearing before the trustees, at
which TIE reasons for his or her
discharge would be stated and where
ne or she would have an appor-
tunity to answer them. The bill
would not have imposed any COM
pulsory action on the trustees fol-
lowing the hearing.
This bill had no chance of passing.
/ argued that the teachers ought to
be given such a law if they felt
they should have it; that it would
make no material difference in school
administration and that concession
might very well be conceded to the
teachers. A number of fellow men,
bers had served on school boards
Almost without exception they were
opposed to such a law. They said
it would merely mess up matters
and were vigorous in insisting that
good teacher never had any diff
Guilty in holding a position ana that
a poor teacher ought to be dis
charged anyway. And that was that,
so far as a teachers tenure law vas
concerned.
AS this column has said before,
the recent Legislative Assembly
was faced with requests for in
creased salaries by state officials and
employees all along the line. Many
Of those requests were granted be-
cause of increased living costs.
Another factor made such increases
necessary. If the state did not pay
employees adequate salaries, it
would soon find itself without com
petent help in important depart
ments. Already such condition
was developing. Many persons were
leaving state employment to accept
higher paying positions elsewhere.
That competition had to be met.
AS an example, the salaries of the
state liquor board employees were
raised all along the line. Here is
department of Montana state gov
eminent that does a ST., 100000 bust
ness a year. The salary of the state
liquor administrator was placed at
not to exceed $500 a year, that of
the chief accountant at not to ex
coed $4,000 per year Those are
important administrators in IT.
100000 dollar annual business. Sal
aries high enough to hold competent
men had to be paid if a business
of that magnitude is to be properly
conducted. Otherwise good men
will take employment elsewhere.
All of which bears on increased
taxes. And here IS a point that
the average citizen should bear in
mind The public is constantly de-
handing more services from the
State, many of them meritorius de7
mands Better school, college, and
university standards are insisted on,
better highways are demanded,
scores upon scores of boards, bur-
eaus and commissions are being
asked for. And the demand seems
to be a constantly growing one.
Nearly every branch of business and
of the professions, and of agriculture
are asking the State to perform more
services for them Well, that all
costs money. If the people are to
continue asking for all such SER
vices, they will simply have to pay
the piper The Legislature is TAX
ing a logical position when it says,
in effect. These are the services
you are demanding, citizens of Mon
tana. Here is the bill 1t is now
up to you to pay it."
