Increased School Tax Dooms
Higher Salaries Aylsworth
Professor Believes Chances ' KJTbSWSS
For Restoring Cut
Impossible.
Favoring partial restoration of
cuts in the pay of teachers, which
took place following the lowering
of the valuation of property within
the district, ivof. L. E. Ayles
worth, political science professor,
E. B. Stephenson, chairman of the
board of the Security Mutual Life
Insurance company, and Maurice
A. Hyde, board member of the
same company, took issue recently
against the passing of an addition
al 1 1-2 mills tax levy, holding
that such a rate would be too
high.
Thruout the statement given out
by these three men was uie sug
gestion that an additional assess
ment of 1 mill would be the most
workable plan.
The basis of the idea for the 1
mill levy, rather than a higher in
crease, is shown by the statement
issued by the three men. It com
ments: "We have repeatedly, in
private conferences with delega
tions from women's organizations
and individual school board mem
bers endorsed a partial restoration
DAIRY CLUB SETS DATE
FOR JUDGING CONTESTS
Students Will Be Critics
Of Cattle, Products
March 25, 28.
Varsity Dairy club on Ag
campus at their meeting last night
definitely set the date for the Dairy
Cattle judging contest as March 28,
and the products Judging meet as
March 25. Awards will be made
at an all-student party immedi
ately after the last contest to dis
tribute awards, according to Al
Pearl, president of the Dairy club.
Stanley Whitson and Donald Joy
are on the committee for the Pro
ducts contest, while Raymond Mc
Carty, John Bengston, Lawrence
Liebers, L. Wasson and Rodney
Bertiamson will make arrange
ments, for the dairy contest.
At the meeting last night Mc
Carty presented a talk on the Kan
sas City Consumers league, an or
ganization for controlling the
Quality league distribution in Kan
sas City. Whitson spoke on adver
tising products. He emphasized
the possibility of using news reel
for advertising dairy product.
i ?? r
we had hoped the school board
wnnM not ipnnai riize the chances
of such restoration by asking for
so large an increase in the mill
levy as to cause the taxpayers to
reject the proposal, and make im
possible any restoration."
It was especially emphasized
that thru experience in the last
vote on the school bond and tax
increase election, it was shown
thnt the mnioritv apainst the two
'mill increase was mimewhat great
er man tnai againsi ine ijuhhb,
leading to the conclusion that the
neonle have developed a definite
tax consciousness. "If this is true
the statement submitted said, "the
. 'ii i
dinerence dpi ween a mm anu a
mill and a half will count heavily.
The increase is asked because of a
stated emergency, but the taxpay
ers know that after the special
. -,oat th. InTAaap rortill 1 n R
beyond recall by them except thru 1
action bv the slate legislature." j
The statement issued concludes!
by pointing out, "we believe, there
fore, that the school board will
better serve the interest of the
teachers if it asks only for a one
mill increase. We hope, for the
sake of the teachers, that the
school board will do this."
