“WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES WE SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT GOES■,, - Byron
VOL. LXV, NO. 339
ABILENE
By WENDELL BEDICHEK
It is this writer’s presumption
that a large majority of the peo-
ple of Abilene want to unprove
the schools.
Moreover, we believe that most
of our people want to do the
right and not just hit a few licks
here and there to patch things up
enough to sooth ourselves with a
Wise sense of satisfaction.
This presumption that we have
a "great school town’ has kept us
with our heads stuck in the sand
a long time while we actually were
letting our schools go hungry and
poor. ••
It is a classic example of the
smugness that can lead only to
civic decay.
• if we want to do a complete job
for our schools and do it right it
is going to cost s lot of money.
The only place to get thia money
is from the taxpayers’ pockets.
Since this is a democratic system,
the only way more money can be
had from the tax payers is for the
tax-payers themselves to vote upon
themselves a higher school tex
rate. ...
. Not only that, but the tox-pay
ers will have to let their elected
city officials k ow that they want
valuations of property for tax pur
poses raised to whatever extent is
necessary to do the job.
It has been stated in this column
that the school job cannot be done
without raising the tex rate and
also raising valuations.
1) Here's why:
The way tor the schools to get
the most money out of the high-
eat school tax that the tax payers
could vote is for them to amend
the city charter.
This amendment would have to
say that the city of Abilene can
levy $2.50 for aU purposes EX-
CLUDING schools. At the same
time, the tax-payers of the school
district could vote to levy a
Onaximum of $1.50 for schools only.

Carter Glass Dies
After Long Illness
WASHINGTON, May 28.—(P)-
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia,
long-time member of congress,
“father of the Federal Reserve
system" and once a cabinet mem-
ber, died early today of heart
failure.
The oldest member of the sen-
ate, he was 88 last Jan. 4.
Death came in bis apartment at
the Mayflower hotel, where he
lived with his second wife, Mary.
Glass had been so ill that he
was unable to appear in the senate
since June, 1942. Because of this
a Virginia Republican sought un-
successfully last year to have his
seat declared vacant and a special
election called to name a succes-
sor. Virginia courts threw the suit
out and the supreme court de-
clined to review the case.
After winning election nine
times as a member of the house,
Glass resigned in 1918 to become
President Wilson's secretary of
the treasury.
He left the cabinet in 1920 to
accept appointment as senator and
was re-elected five times, most
recently to a term expiring in
1949.
I President Roosevelt offered to
CARTER GLASS
make him secretary of the treas-
ury again in 1933, but Glass de-
clined. It was generally known
that his reason was failure of the
president-elect to give what the
Virginian would regard as satis-
factory assurance of a "sound-
money" policy on the part of the
forthcoming New Deal administra-
tion.
Glass was bitterly displeased
when Roosevelt abandoned the gold
standard. He also broke with the
administration over the NRA, crop
reduction, spending and the 1937
supreme court reorganization plan.
Nevertheless Roosevelt, who
fondly called him “An Unrecon-
structed Rebel," remained his per-
sonal friend.
Mrs. Aurelia Glass died in 1937.
The senator married Mrs. Mary
Scott Meade of Amherst, Va., a
widow many years his junior, in
1940.
His son, Powell, newspaper exec-
utive of Lynchburg, Va., died last
July.
Another son, Carter Glass, Jr.,
is editor of the Lynchburg Ad-
vance and recently was released
from the army after serving in
World War II with the rank of
lieutenant colonel.
Funeral arrangements had not
been completed today, but it was
expected that the senator would
be buried in the family plot in bis
home city of Lynchburg.

WASHINGTON. May 28—(-
The death of Senator Carter Glass
ol Virginia brought a respite to-
day in the senate's battling over
President Truman's emergency la-
bor legislation.
The office of Senate Secretary
Leslie Biffle said leaders planned
to follow the usual procedure and
adjourn out of respect to Glass im-
mediately after convening at 11 a.
m.
Senator Murray (D-Mont)
proposed today that labor of-
fer President Truman a six-
month strike truce in return
for a veto of the Case bill and
withdrawal of strike-draft leg-
islation.
As the possibility of a coal strike
settlement thretatened to cut
further ground from under the
draft section of the bill there were
these other developments:
1. Republicans aimed a half
dozen amendments at the presi-
dent's measure, chief of which
would wipe out the"draft section
entirely.
2 Democratic leaders apparently
drawn the admiral’s attention to
“a couple of incidents" in which
the miners claimed discrimination.

NUERNBERG, May 28.——Counsel for the missing Martin

several documenta to be considered when the defense of the absent
Bormann cornea up to a few weeks and remarked:
“I am in an extremely difficult position. All the witnesaes are
antagonistic to Bormann and want to put all the guilt on him."

Wraps Stay on
If such an amendment were
voted, the city-couldabe left to
pay the intereat and principal up
on bonds already issued for
schools. Any school bonds voted
after passage of the amendment
would have to be done by the $1.50
school tax.
Now, just presume we have done
all this. How much money will
ft take to issue $1,300,000 school
bonds (the amount needed to do
the whole job) and to pay 3125,000
more to teachers (the amount |
necessary to pay a minimum of
$1,800 a year salary)?
With a school rate of $1.50 the |
schools could obtain a maximum
of 3330.000 per year for mainten-
ance (since the city would con-
tinue to pay the present 19-cent
school sinking fund tax).
The schools today receive
$220,000 for maintenance The
$1 50 tax would, therefore. Increase
maintenance income only 8110,000
The additional salaries would
coat 8125,000 and intereat and prin-
cipal upon $1,300,000 of two and
one-half percent bonds to run 30
years would cost about 8104.000
the first year.
o Add the 8330.000 already paid
for maintenance to $125,000 more
for salaries and 8104.000 for sink-
ing fund on the new bonds; that
makes a total of $449,000.
The present valuations of $22,-
000.000 will produce only 8330,000
from a $1.50 tax.
The only way to obtain $449,-
000 a year for maintenance
would be to raise the property
• valuations to $29,940,000 and
levy $1.50 school lax.
"I feel confident,” Hill said,
"that unless something very un-
foreseen occurs, the coal strike
will be settled and announcement
of the settlement made within the
next 48 hours.”

whether the administration's hand-

ended the 13-year-old labor-Demo-

However, the way Republi-
