Bills providing for a material
reduction In the salaries of three
appointive state officials and a
memorial urging federal regula
tion of the American Telephone
and Telegraph comnanv. found
their way into the senate hopper
Tuesday. The salary reduction
bills were introduced by Senator
Burke.
These bills provide for reduc
ing the salary of the secretary
to the governor from S3 600 to
2400 a year, the public utilities
commissioner - from $7500 to
5000. the state director of agri

Senator Burke said he introduc

A bill previously Introduced by
Burke providing for a reduction
in the salaries of the governor,
secretary of state, attorney gener-
al
and state treasurer, was re
turned to the senate with a divid
ed report, and was referred to the
joint ways and means committee.
This bill originally fixed the
salary of the governor at $5500 a
year instead of $7500 as provided

Salem School Directors to
Seek Inclusion In Bill
Woodward Proposes
After clearing routine business.
Salem school director last night
waded Into legislative questions
affecting schools and took their
first official stand, went on rec
ord in favor of including Salem
district in Senator Woodward's
bill which would permit school
districts to issue warrants at 5
per cent interest to the amount
of taxes payable. The board now
pays C per cent Interest, the legal
rate, on Its warrants and has
$12,000 budget item for warrant
interest this year.
Shying at the transportation
actTepeal, the directors attacked
the high school tuition law as un
fair. General sentiment was that
Interest on buildings and equip
ment should be included In tul
tlon payments. These Items were
ruled Illegal by the supreme court
last fall but only because of
method of their collection. The
ruling reduced annual tuition per
pupil In this district from ap
proximately $97 to $84.50.
The directors asserted the dis
trict wants "a fair remuneration
in tuition payment" and pointed
out that many districts receive
as much as $200 per pupil, while
Salem has more tuition pupils
than any other but receives
$84.50.
