The fact that teachers' salaries
constitute 60 per cent of the school
expense tends to make this item a
target for retrenchment, since the
opportunities for reducing- the small
er expenditures are much more lim
ited. School officers in northern
Nebraska, as elsewhere about the
state, fear that a reduction in wages
will lose them their best teachers.
Many consider that a better plan,
where there are a number of teach
ers in a district, would be to reduce
the number, lo save in school ex

Amendment Rejected.
At this same session the commit
tee rejected an amendment by Rep
resentative Old field, democrat. Ar
kansas, proposing to restore the orig
inal rah provision in place of the
bank loan amendment and to rcim-
pose the excess pronu tax as a
means of raising the required rev
enue. Another amendment to re
store the war-time maximum income
turtax rate of 65 per cent also was
rejected.
Secretary Mellon and Mr. Cris
singer reiterated to the committee
their opposition to the adjusted
certificate loan plan, but Governor
Harding declined to comment on the
advisability of bonus legislation at
this time other than to say that in
his judgment the bank loan plan
wouM help the bnicfkiary, but
prohjbly not the banks.
There developed a diiference of
opinion between the treasury secre
tary and the comptroller oi the cur.
miry a advising bank not i make
adisntr to former service men on
th certificates, Mr. Mellon said
the treasury would not feel colled
upon to give turn advice while Mr,
f rissingrr reiterated that if national
bank asked hi opinion he would
iitvie against loan on such secur
ity.
Explain Hi Position,
lit explaining Itis position, the
comptroller said there were many
banks in the wet and alio in the
f4t that held an "unbelievable"
amount of "pat due and doubtful
paper" and that such bank prob
ahly could not make the advance.
He said it would take from one to
live year for the bank to work out
the paper to which he referred.
Secretary Mellon eNprened the
view that it would be better from
an economic standpoint for the
treury to borrow in the first In
stance the $3OU,(X0,000 which it was
climated that the banks would be
nlled upon to advance on the certi
ficates in the first three vrar from
tlie effective date of the bill.
All three witnesc were tuhjected

roth democrat and republicans and
