Stranger "Borrows"
Money and Decamps
C. V. and W. L. Yesmas, brothers, who
say they live in Howard, Fla., reported
to the police yesterday that a smooth
stranger buncoed them out of $45. They
met the man, who claimed to be a ranch
man from Montana, and after he had
told them that he was going west with
a shipment of horses, hired out.
Under pretense that he needed a little
ready money until he coujd get into a
bank, the stranger borrowed the money
from the brothors. He took them with
him as far as the Omaha National bank
and told them to wait outside for him
until he cashed some checks.
After a long wait the brothers sought
aid from the police.

Raise of Small Taxpayer' Rate
Caniet Tremendous Protest.
EQUALIZATION BOARD IS SCORED
Annexationists BeJIeve that the
Present Conditions Will Work
to tula! of Two
Miles.
Never In the history of the Magic City
have the common reople been so outraged.
With the city council and the mayor
fighting In the courts to get at the back
taxes, while City Treasurer Martin fought
to keep them for the taxpayers and City
Attorney Murphy forced the mayor and
council to respect the taxpna-ers' rights,
tie council, sitting as a Ioafd of Equal!
si tlon and review, calmly raised the taxes
on the small property holders and the
business men of the city and let the
packers and the stock yards go scott
ee of any raise. Two ntcn, P. J. Martin,
cUy treasurer, and J. M. Fltfgerald. city
tax commission, fought the council In Its
action. Martin and FltxgeraM fought
hcalnst the action of the council to the
last and Martin refused to sign the re
jort of the board yesterday.
Martin contended that if the taxes had
to be raised the burden should be placed
on the shoulders of the corporations as
veil as upon the poor taxpayers and small
business men. Fit-gerald fought side by
side with Martin and the mayor,
although he had Introduced the measure
to let the stock yards go at the same
figure as last year, refused fo be a party
to the wholesale trade of the taxpayers
at.d voted with Martin and Fitzgerald at
the last.
Council Stands Pat.
Yesterday Martin tried to get the
n alter reopened, but his efforts' were
vain. Not a man on the board would
second his motion to reopen the case. .
The action of the council sitting as a
Board Of Equalization Is unprecedented.
In the face of gathering annexation sentl-
n ent the council coolly placed several
hundred thousand of extra taxation oil
the backs of the small taxpayers and re
leased the packers and stock yards from
the payment of an extra penny over last
year. The metropolitan water bill took
(100.00) of Omaha water plant property
out of taxation In South Omaha and
placeC the burden on the people of South
Omana. The packers get not a cent of
extra assessment
Hear Word of Barrel.
Besides the extra assessment by rea
son of the Omaha wator bill of R. B.
Howell, the city has to furnish quar
ters in the city hall for a water office.
In this office It is said the hirelings of
the Omaha water boss are holding dally
conference In the hope of lining up a
vote for R. B. Howell. Foreigners and
paid workers are said to have received
the word that thore is a barrel opened
at the water office for the men who
will support Howell for governor.
Thirty Per Cent More Taxes.
Between the Metropolitan Water Dis
trict bill of R. B. Howell and the city
council of South Omh;i the taxpayers
of the Magic City are carrying 90 per
cent more taxes today than they did
a year ago. Not in a decado have the
taxpayers of South Omaha been so out
raged. Tonight and nil day yesterday
there were violent protests or. the part
of the taxpayers and tho threats of an
nexation have passed Into a certainty.
The citizens of South On'aha are wrathy
today beyond expression against every
member of the Board of Review except
City Treasure P. J. Martin and Tax
Commissioner Jerry Fitzgerald. The tax
payers will have to pay at least a thirteen
mill levy and perhaps fourteen this year
and the corporations will not have to pay
another penny assessment than they did
one year ago.
The small taxpayers and the business
men have had to stand 110,000 raise on
personal tax assessments and $190,000 on
real estate. The packers have not had
to stand one penny of raise on either real
estate or personal property.
Mayor Hoctor, astounded at the whole
sale action of the council, voted with
Martin and Fitzgerald at the last, but
he Introduced the motion to let the stock
yards go free.

Unequal Pny for Kqnal Work.
Wide variations In the pay for ths
same or similar work Is one of the most
striking situations revealed by the in
vestigation of teachers' salaries Just
completed by the United Btates Bureau
of Education, under the direction of J.
C. Iloykln, editor of thn Bureau. Pub
lic elementary school teachers may re
ceive $2,400 a year, as some do in New
York City, or 145 a year, as In certain
rural communities. Even in cities of ths
same class there are considerable dif
ferences In the salaries paid teachers.
On the administrative side there ars
county superintendents with pay rang
ing from $115 to $4,000 per annum, and
college presidents receiving salaries all
the way from $M0 to $11400.
In city school systems salaries have
Increased steadily In recent years, par
ticularly In the western states; and. In
general, salaries In city school systems
are fairly well standardized. The average
salary of the superintendent of schools
In cities of over 210,000 population is
$7,178; the range is from $4,000 to $10,000.
Tn the same group of cities high school
principals average $1,545 and elementary
teachers, $1,018. Even In the smallest
oSties listed, those between 6,600 and
10,000 population, salaries are fairly uni
form. The maximum for superintendents
In this group Is $3,A00 and the average
$1,915; but elementary teachers show an
annual average of $533, with salaries as
high as $1,300 and as low as $104. It Is
In ths colleges and universities that the
widest variation prevails. The salaries
of men with the rank of "professor"
range from $450 to $7,500. "Professors"
In some Institutions receive less than
"Instructors" or even "assistants" In
cithers. Salaries of deans of these In
stitutions vary from $MK to $5,000. Uni
versity teachers of subjects for which
there is direct commercial demand out-
aide receive somewhat higher salaries
than those In charge of the traditional
academic subjects, but the difference Is
Jess than might be expected. Tho highest
average salaries for full professors ar
paid in law and civil engineering. Law
claims the highest paid professorship In
any subject, with one salary of $7,500;
but there are professors of physics,
geology and Latin who receive $7,000.
It is significant, however, that on ths
basis of the figures reported, most col
lege teaching, particularly In the first
two years. Is done by men of instructor
grade with salaries of $1,000 to $1,200, or
by assistants, who receive on the av
erage about $500, usually for half-time
services.
Quite at noteworthy Is the variation
In salaries for state superintendents of
public Instruction. The salaries uf the
chief school officers In the various states
range from $10,000 In New Jersey end
New York; $7,500 In Illinois; $6,500 In Mas
sachusetts, and $5,000 In Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, California, Indiana and Lou
islana; down to $2,000 jn Delaware, Ne
braska and Nevada; $1,900 In South Caro
lina and $1,509 In South Dakota,
The report contains detailed compari
sons, showing the Increase in teachers'
salaries at different periods. The figures
thus collected will be utilized as the basis
for further Investigation by the Bureau
of Education and by organizations sh
as ths National Education association,
to determine the actual conditions of the
teaching profession.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Another View of the Vocational
Training- Problem.
EDUCATORS ARE NOT TO BLAME
Modern Industry Demands Too Mneh
of Society In Kipertlnsr All to He
Kfflrlr.nl" as Wraith
Prodnrrrs,
That the present movement for practical
education la stimulated from tho In
dustrial rather than from the educational
side Is a fact both promising and dis
quieting, according to Owen R. Ijovojny,
who discusses "Vocational Guidance and
Child Ijibor" in a publication of the
United States Bureau of Education.
"The employers have a very definite
program." says Mr. Lovejoy. "They
know what they want and are going after
It. Let us not delude ourselves bv think
ing they are actuated by philanthropy. It
Is simply good business. They want a
crop of fresh, young labor furnished them
every year that can nrnke fewer mis
takes and more profits.
'This In sxtremely gratifying, In one
rense. It Indicates that economic pelf.
Interest Is attempting to shake oft the
double burden society has long borne
the burdon of Using goods worth much
less than they cost because poorly and
Inefficiently made, and of supporting
by charity those paid less than their
work Is worth because of their poverty.
Inefficiency, and consequent helplessness.
But while employers are awake to the
need of efficiency, industry Is not. In
dustry still beckons to the Inefficient, the
immature, the unprepared. '
"Society Is far from having reached a
decision that unskilled labor must be
abolished. The occupations which, outside
of agriculture, absorb the output of our
schools are barren of any element to
make them of present Interest to ths
child or to offer any hope for the future.
A vocational survey in New York City
exhibits In one group 101 boys between
14 and 14 years of age with an analysis
of the work they are doing. For only
five of them Is there any opportunity to
advance or Improve; ninety-six are In
dead-end occupations.
"Business Is now saying that If we had
the right kind of schools' all this would be
changed; that child labor would becomt
a blessing Instead of an abuse for chil
dren. We are constantly told that, if the
schools had the right kind of curriculum
and gave the right kind of training, every
child would have his natural capacity
developed, and we should speedily put
an end to the army of Industrial misfits.
"In accepting this challenge of the busi
ness world our educators have assumed
an unwarranted responsibility for the con
dition that exists. A study of the an
nual contribution of our c'ty schools to
the business Interests of the community
wilt show that a considerable percentage
Is thrown Into the discard within the
first month; that another large percen
tage goes drifting from Job to Job, some'
times advancing, quite as frequently re
ceding, the industries complaining that
the children the schools turn out are no
good; and that ths children lose courage,
enthusiasm, and youthful idealism In
the various meaningless jobs to which
they are assigned. That many drift Into
casual and tl:ence Into permanent Idle
ness Is to be expected. The only wonder
Is that any ultimately rise to positions
of efficiency and responsibility.
"Our sohools are not fair to themselves
In assuming that they or the child are
wholly at fault. It the schools need a
better curriculum, so Uocs the Industrial
establishment If the child needs a mora
definite and purposeful mind, much more
does lndutsry. One of the most vital serv
ices vocational guidance can render Is to
analyze our industries snd train our
youth to distinguish between a vocation
and a Job. It is futile to give special
training to a -child for the purpose of
fastening him to a machine on which
hs shall do purely mechanical labor for
life. Business says: He.-e arc the Jobs;
what kind of children have you to offerT
We must reverse the Inquiry and say to
business: 'Here are our children; what
kind of Industry have you to offer?' "
