REVISIONISTS RAP
HEAVY TAXATION1
Carson Calls Proscht Levying
"Highway Robbery Under
i Guiso of Law"
BEAT ADDED STATE TOLLS
Du a Staff Corrtapondtat
Uarrlshurg. Feb. 11. Excessive tax
ntlon was scored bv former Judge .Tames
(!. Ciordnn and other speakers when
tin- question of providing methods for
levying new taxes vrns brought before
tlie commission on constiliitionnl amend
iiu'iil and revision today. ,
An amendment liad been submitted
which provided for laying "graded nnd1
progressive taxes" unci permitted the
stale to assess its natural resources.
Judge Ciordnn declared that the aver
age citizen was burdened wiUi excessive
taxation, and thnt business was strug
gling under it. "Why lay another bur
den on the people''" he asked, "when J
the state doesn't need the additional
revenue."
Former Attorney General Hampton
Ii. Carson compared (tuxntiou nowadays
to highway robbery under the guise of
the law. Carson snid the people were
suffering from "triple nml quadruple
taxation, and that the country was
perilously near the exhaustion of cap
ital." K. J. Stackpolo said that further
taxation would result in the destruc
tion of the nation nnd might drive the
"eop'e to revolution. ,,,,,
Attorney f.cneral Hchaffcr wild that
one of tho biggest captains of industry
in reiinsylvnntn announced recently,
that because of the nianv tuxes he was
getting only nine cents on every dollar
of profit earned by his corporation.
The commission finally decided to
adopt the section of the present con
stitution relating to taxation.
A. proposition by James II. Uccd to
require the-payment of a state or county
tax us one of the qualifications for
franchise wus attacked by Judge Gor
don. The poll tax section of the present
constitution was dropped gome weeks
ago.
Judge Gordon said a poll tax was
"ridiculous," he declared that political
organizations paid the tax, spending
thousunds of dollars.
After some debate tho commission
adopted un amendment to permit
judges of the Court of Uommon rieas
to name election overseers' on petition
of voters.

Whlte-Willlams Foundation

measures, and has scut cut "visiting
teachers" through the public schools
to investigate home conditions and sec
what can be done to keep the children

"Sometimes u child who has made up

Pratt, "lu 1010 tlie society, in co

TEACHER PAY RISE
FAVORED BY GRATZ
New Prosident of School Boardl
Says Building Plan Is First
Consideration
KELSEY COMPLIMENTS HIM
Simon CJialz, newly elected president
of the Board of Education, favors equal
salary for cqiiul work, regardless of sex,
nud h general increase in teachers' sal
lories at the earliest possible time.
Mr. GniU expressed his oplniou iu
mi interview today. The hoard Is worK
lng toward the snlary increase as rap
idlv ns iHisslblc. lie snid.
"Just how much of an increase nnd
how il will be distributed will be de
cided by the finance committee und
board in general," be said. "Sugges
tions nnd plans submitted by various
teuchcrM' organizations are so conflict
ins and so numerous that the hoard
w ill have to use its own judgment in
Hie matter. The women teachers and
the men are pulling in different vvuys.
One suggestion is tliut the salary ot
every leaelier be increased .slDOO'ii year.
That would mean more than .fll.OOO.OOO
u j car increase and would be impossible-.
But I can assure you the fiunnce
committee is studying the matter care
fully and will make Jhc fairest possible
distribution.
"The salarj increase question will be
settled within the next two months,
I believe. And I feel thnt the tencber
shortage so lamented by Dr. John P.
Clarber and bj us will gradually be
relieved.
AMi for Building Bids
"The first step toward the salary
increase is being taken this week. The
property committee is advertising for
bids for the two new school buildings
the board has authorized in .southwest
Philadelphia. These bids will be
opened the first week of March. When
we have found how much it will cort to
erect these buildings at Ninth and Ore
eon streets nnd Seventy-first street and
Elmwood avenue, we can estimate how
many other buildings the board can
plan on. Uesideuts of Logan are clum-
oring for n new school. So arc people
in West Philadelphia nud other sec
tions. We hope to be able to put up
nt least four schools in the next two
years
"'5,,t whatever the building plans,
nicy must ue goiicn oui m me way ne
fore the salary question can be settled.
The building sitiiution will be cleared ut
the March board meeting.
"I know that every member of the
board favors the salary increase and
that the building program will not be
allowed to seriously interfere with snl
ury increase." t
Women Want More Executive Jobs
Members of the Women Teachers'
Association are hoping Mr. Gratz will
be friendly toward their plan of sal
ary increase and toward the appoint
ment of more women to executive posi
tions. Miss Jniic Allen, president of
the association, and other members to
day expressed their opinion that Mr.
(cratz s election was nn honor long
due.
"Wo know Mr. Grntz has the in
terests of the schools nt heart, nnd that
he will do the best he can for the
teachers," said one of the women's as
sociation officers. "lie is not always
so progressive as wo would wish, but
we know he wants to help us." '
Henry Edmunds, one of the new
members of the board, expressed it :
"lie is a friend of the teachers and they
should be mighty glad to have Mr.
Grntz in tlie office."
S. D. Bcnoliel, president of the Home
and School League, said he knew of no
member of the Board of Education bet
ter fitted for the position of presidency.
"Mr. (Jratz has the keenest interest
and is the best versed in school needs
and problems," he snid. "And I believe
he is better able to cope with these
problems 'than any member of the board.
He is a friend of the teachers und I
am glnd he wus elected."
Kelsey BeliAes GraU Fit
Albert KcKey. architect, who has
been
a severe critic of the Board of
Educatiou's methods in Philadelphia,
said today he believed Mr. Gratz one
of the best fitted members for the presi
dency. "To absolutely dominate the Board of
Education and to be willing to under
take Hie difficult tii'.k he has before him,
at his time of life, must command
any fair person's admiration," said
tlie architect.. "If Mr. Gratz will have
an honest aijf complete survey made of
all tho school properties he may thus
stultify his detractions nnd prove him
self n comagcous and high-minded
, man
Mr. Gratz, in speaking of the pio-
i posed school survey, said so lur
the board was concerned the surrey
' could begic immediate!) . The hoard has
its committee on survey, ready and is
simply waiting word from the civic
organizations, which will furnish the
money, before going ahead. As soon
us the committee from the board nnd
that from the civic bodies meet Hhey
will appoint a person to mako the
survey.
