burg said. For the first time, sal
aries will be granted on the basis
of training and experience. Previ
ously, flat allotments one for high
school teachers and the other for
elementary teachers had been
made.
Another change planned for the
1952-53 year is a provision allow
ing teacher sick leave to accumu
late at 10 days per year to a max
imum of 20 days.
Both changes had been recom
mended by a special committee,
consisting of four educators, three
school board members and one
school clerk, t
At all districts, except Myrtle
Crc?k and Sutherlin, the polls will
be open from 7 to 9 p.m. standard
time (8 to 10 daylight time). In
the two exceptions, polls will open
al 2 p.m. and close at 8 standard
time.
All school districts in the countv

How much tax in your telephone bill?
When you pay your telephone bill each month,
an important part of your money is passed on
in taxes to the Federal Government and to
state, county and city governments. Naturally,
we expect to contribute our fair share of the coat
of government . . . but because taxed now account
for auch a largo portion of the coat of service, we
foel we should report about them to you who, as
telephone customers, have to pay them.

To give you some idea of the size of our tax
bill, it is estimated that the total excise and oper
ating taxes we paid in 1951... $152 million...
could have supported all the 131 schools of high
er education in California. In terms of the aver
age telephone, this is $35 per telephone per year
...$2.92 per month. Twonty years ago the aver
age was 53 cents a month.
Most of the other items on the
budget are allocated to the local
districts on the basis of the school
size, Barncburg said. The main ex
ceptions to this are transportation
and maintenance and repair of
boildings, grounds, furniture and
equipment.
Those eligible to vote must have
been residents of the district con
tinuously for at least six months
prior to the election, and a regis
tered voter at least 30 days before
the election date.

Tax Credit Denial
Proposal Rapped
By C. V. Stanton
A Minnesota senator's proposal
to deny tax credit to industries
or businesses using advertising to
complain of alleged infringement
on free enterprise was criticized
Monday night by News-Review
Editor Charles V. Stanton.
Stanton addressed the dinner
meeting of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce. He spoke on the
"Loaf of Freedom."
The proposal is that of Senator
II. II. Humphrey
"There is an old saying to the
effect that 'we never miss a slice
from a loaf that has been cut,' "
Stanton said'
"Once we have be?un to nibble
away at the loaf of freedom, it
becomes progressively easier to
take the next bite until soon the
loaf is gone," the editor said.
The government's side of any
controversy is- aired not only
through the press, he said, but
by "thousands" of paid publicity
men.
"But now It is proposed that
if business or industry wants to
tell its story to the people, it is
to be penalized. . . in other words
it just isn't right to protect your
self," he added.
"If it becomes possible for the
government to place a little pen
ally on criticism, does it not then
follow that the penalty may be
increased?" he asked. "If the
government's right to penalize
those who do not agree with its
acts or policies is once recognized
and permitted to become estab
lished, w here will it end? In Russia
the end is a firing squad or a Si
berian slave labor camp.
"It can happen here."
