PAY IN PDRTLAND LEAST
SCHOOLTEACHERS GIVE
URES OJf SAIiARIES.
FIG-
Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle
All More Liberal In Treat
ment of Pedagogues.
'Portland's BOO school teachers are the
poorest paid of any In cities of this rank
on the Pacific Coast. Few cities In
America pay as little to the teachers of
the public schools as does Portland, the
most prosperous city of the Pacific
Northwest. The most poorly paid teach
er in Oakland, Cal., receives $30 a year
more than do some of the Portland
teachers who have been teaching- for six
years. The highest paid grade teacher in
Portland receives only $7 a month more
than does the poorest paid teacher in
Oakland. In the lower grades Oakland
pays her teachers over 41 per cent more
than does Portland. The best paid grade
teachers in Oakland received over 31 per
cent more than do the Portland teachers
of the same standing. In Lios Anseles the
lowest paid high school teachers receive
just 40 per cent more than do the same
class of high school teachers in this city,
Oakland and ls Angeles both pay
their best high school teachers over 36
per cent more salary than does Portland.
The lowest paid high school teacher In
Oakland receives $ per cent, more pay
than does the highest paid high school
teacher in Portland; and the lowest paid
high school teacher in Los Angeles re
ceives over 14 per cent more pay than
Portland gives to her best paid high
school teacher. In other words, if Port
land's best paid high school teachers
should go to Los Angeles and start In
at the bottom of high school work again
and receive the lowest pay in that city
their salaries would be Increased over 14
per cent, or $160 per year.
Or viewed in another light: The poorest
paid high school teacher in Los Angeles
would not, on a salary basis, accept the
best paid high school position in Port
land. The lowest pay for a principal in Oak
land Is just double what it is in Portland.
The highest pay for principals in each
of these two cities is the same; but pay
tat principals in Oakland averages just
25 per cent more than it does in Port
land. The lowest paid principal in Los
Angeles draws 27 Per cent more than
the same principal in Portland; and the
best paid In Los Angeles draws 7 per
cent more than does the best paid In this
city.
The lowest paid principal In Seattle re
ceives just 35 per cent more salary than
does the same in Portland. Seattle pays
her teachers bf all kinds more than does
Portland, with - the single exception of
the highest paid principals, who in Seat
tle get Just 20 per cent less than the same
office pays In Portland. With this single
exception, affecting only a very small
proportion of the teaching- force, Port
land pays less In all lines for teachers
than does Oakland, Los Angeles or
Seattle. ,
For heads of departments Seattle pays
25 per cent, more, Oakland 60 per cent
more , and Los Angeles 70 per cent more
than does Portland.
Figured In percentages, Oakland pays
her teachers 40 per cent, Lxs Angeles 32
per cent and even Seattle 18 per cent
more salary than does Portland, the rich
est city of them all.
The Portland teachers are asking for
a level increase of 20 per cent. Even If
this Is granted, Portland will still stand
only third compared with Oakland, Los
Angeles and Seattle. At present the. rat
ing list is: Oakland, Los Angeles, Seattle,
Portland. With the 20 per cent Increase
the rating would stand: Oakland, Los
Angeles. Portland, Seattle. - At present
Portland stands at the bottom of the list
in all Items except two, exceeds in only
one item and equals in but two. With
the Increase of 20 per cent, Portland
would still be at the bottom In three
items, third In three, second In one and
highest In one. Her average would be
third. To put Portland on an equality
with the best in the list, Los Angeles, the
increase of 20 per cent that the teachers
are asking would have to be Just doubled.
The following table, prepared by the
local pedagogues, shows the salaries paid
in the four cities named as compared
with the salaries asked by the Portland
teachers:
REYNOLDS FEARS VIOLENCE
DOES NOT SAITj FOR ALASKA
BUT GOES EASTy
Jesse Martin, His Cashier, Leaves
for Valdez, and Seattle Creditors
Fear They Are Outwitted.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 20. (Special.)
H. D. Reynolds, promoter of a string of
Alaska enterprises, which either col
lapsed or was endangered by the failure
of Reynolds' Bank at Valdes and the
abandonment of work on the Alaska
Home Railway, did not sail for the North
on the steamship Tucatan. Seattle cred
itors have the story that at the last mo
ment before sailing Reynolds received
a tip that he would be in danger of vio
lence if he went to Valdes, and he hur
ried East Instead.
Jesse Martin," cashier of Reynolds'
Bank at "Valdez, and Frederick T. Fisher,
representing- Seattle creditors, were to
have gone north with Reynolds. Martin
did not make the. trip, but when Fisher
learned Reynolds would not go he
stayed in Seattle and a hurried meeting
of local creditors will be held tomorrow
to. decide upon an Instantaneous plan of
action.
The proposal was made by Reynolds to
local creditors that a trustee be named
for all his Alaska creditors at Valdes
until he has a chance to pull out his
properties. This was declined. It is now
feared that with Martin on the ground
as Reynolds' representative, such action
will be taken and Seattle creditors will
lose something between $65,000 and $100,000.

It is reported Reynolds owes a quarter
of a million in-Valdez.
Ex-Governor John G. ' Brady, who
also failed to go north yesterday, says
he has been ruined by being Involved in
Reynolds' schemes. He says he had im
plicit confidence in the promoter and In
vested heavily with him. It was Brady's
connection with the Reynolds Alaska De
velopment Company that led to a demand
for his resignation.

No housewife with any sense of cleanliness or daintiness could
offer her family Beef Trust meat, even were it a free gift. You see
it carted around the streets without protection or covering, and in
the markets it is exposed to all the dust, dirt, contaminated atmos
phere and insects of the neighborhood. Add to this the fact that the
meat has been shipped miles in ice-cars and served its sentence in the
cold-storage rooms of the Beef Trust, where it grew sticky, soft and
sloppy who could eat it?
, Notice that Smith's meats are absolutely fresh and are always
kept behind glass until YOU select them.
