Educational Economy.
A movement may soon be under
way to invoke the referendum on the
sales tax passed by the last extra-
ordinary session of the state legis-
lature. Petitions will be circulated.
If you favor the sales tax, do not
sign the petition, but if you are
against it, sign it. If the referendum
is invoked the people will again be
asked to vote upon the measure. Un
der these circumstances the applica
tion of the law will be delayed sev
eral months.
In the meantime the situation re
garding our schools continues on the
downward grade with no provision
for their restoration. Provision has
been made, yes, through the collec
tion of real and personal property,
and direct taxes, which the people
have been unable to pay.
This newspaper opposed the sales
tax when It came before the people
last year, but since that time there
has been no alternative offered tor
the upkeep of our schools in the
state, and the sales tax reaches in-
dividuals who have never been re-
qulred to pay taxes.
There is no Santa Claus where
our schools are concerned. It has
always been said that the schools
They
would never be closed,
coudn’t possibly be closed, because
they were essential to the growth
and development of our nation. But
during this economic crisis the fed
eral government has permitted edu
cational economy to be practiced
while school terms were being
shortened, courses cut,
teaching
staffs lightened, and schools in
many states closed, their doors
locked for lack of funds to carry on.
iStatiltics show that school en-
rollment has increased one-half mil
lion In fifteen years. There are now
thirty million school children in the
United State*. During this same fif
teen years school costs have in
creased one billion and three-quar-
tors, or 3.35 per cent of our national
income which has been cut, almost
in half.
The first economy in the depres-
sion was practiced on the schools.
Echool hoards suddenly saw where
many courses were entirely useless
tn the boy or girl, while previously
they had been supported and their
adoption encouraged. Teachers’ sal
aries were cut 20, 4 0 and even 60
per cent, and may of these were
paid In warrants. Even after 15,000
teachers had been dropped from the
pay rolls, the amount of unpaid
teachers salaries will exceed forty
million dollars.
Such practice of educational econ
omy is destroying our school system.
If children are not given the oppor
tunity of a public school education
they will grow into idle, unhappy
individuals.
Our school situation demands that
every tax payer study it carefully
before a definite decision is made
against enactment ot the sales tax.
1934 Tips for Drivers.
As 1934 ends, early reports indi-
cate that there was an increase in
motor vehicle fatalities and injuries
over 1932 in spite oí the fact that
fewer ears were operating during
the year. The last quarter was es
pecially bad.
Predictions are that fatalities will
approach 3 0,0 0 0 and injuries 1,000,-
000. This is a record that certainly
should not be repeated.
A set of New Yea ’s resolutions
for the motorist, prepared by the
National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters, is a good start
ing point for a safe 1934:
1 Drive at speeds suited to traffic
conditions; slowly, in the city, mo
derately, on the open highway.
2. Use better judgment in passing.
Wait until there is 500 feet of clear
distance ahead before attempting to
maneuver.
3. Slow down at intersections.
4. Obey traffic signals.
5. Watch out for pedestrians.
These are the five most neglected
i u les of the road. Obedience to
them would have saved a majority
of the lives and limi s lost during
1933. Remember them in 1934.
