As the amount of the increased pay is to come to the districts from the state, it was not intended that it should be met by local taxation. The board of directors of each district, as necessity requires, should meet the demands made veces sary by the increased salaries by mak- ing temporary logns, payable as soon as the amount covering the increased salaries is received from the state, If they insist on the collection of the school tax promptly they will not need to borrow largely for this pure pose. Whatever is done, the teachers in every district should have their salaries promptly. The Act was freed #0 as to prevent the districts from receiving a large ap- propriation from the state for school purposes and using it for the lessening of local taxation for the support of the achools, and continue to pay the teach- ers very low salaries.

Among the bills which fell beneath the stroke of the veto ax were the pet Organization measure raising the pay roll of the Machine henchmen in the departments at Har- risburg by $243,000, and the impudent boost of legislative salaries to $1500. Lack of revenue was the reason given by the Governor in both instapces, A still more pertinent reason for the veto of the legislative salary bill might have been found in the fact that the Legis- lature does not make a pretense of earning the compensation already al- lotted to it. The Legislature draws the money, and leaves its really im- portant duties to the Executive, i A —— “ Od Glory,” The Philadelphia Presse hss con. tracted with manufacturers direct for a large order of beautiful American flags.
