LESLIE AGAINST JONES-LINDLEY SCHOOLS BILL Proposal of His Own State Commission Opposed by Leslie. Governor Harry G. Leslie will oppose the recommendation of his own state-aid commission and reluse to advocate adoption of the Jones-Lindley plan for school financing in his message to the 1931 legislature, it was learned today. The state-aid commissioners decided to back the Jones-Lindley p an, which provides for minimum financing of all public schools by the tate, at a meeting at the statehouse Monday. They have proceeded to draft a bill for presentation to the legislature, incorporating the features of •lit plan, and will meet with the Governor next Monday to argue its merits. Unless Governor Leslie undergoes complete change of heart, the cnes-Lindley plan not be nong the things incorporation as 11 commendations to the legislature in his annual message. Boosts School Tax Rate “That message will outline the things I advocate,” the Governor explained. “But measures to double and triple the state tax rate can not be considered.” That the Jones-Lindley plan would do this is admitted by the commission. While the present state school levy Is but 7 cents, under the Jones-Lindley plan it would be a minimum of 40 cents end may reach as high as 70 cents. Using 40 cents for the new school levy and the present tax rate of 29 cents, minus the 7-cent school levy, it would mean a tax rate for the state of 62 cents. With a 70rent school rate it would mean 92 cents. Well, What of It? The state-aid commissioners, however, advise that some substitute for property tax be used to raise these revenues and contend that it will mean consequent reduction or total abolition of local school levies. When Chairman Arthur Sapp 'Rep., Huntington) of the state-aid commission and Senator Alonzo H. Lindley (Rep., Kingman), commissioner and principal proponent of the plan, w’ere told that Governor Leslie is apt, to look with disfavor upon it, their answer was: “Well, what of it?”

Lindley had introduced a somewhat similar bill during the closingdays of the last legislative session and will handle it early this time, in hope of passage. Features of Bill The bill will include the following features: Creation of a state aid review board composed of the chief examiner of the state board of accounts, chairmaji of the state tax board and superintendent of public instruction. Establishment, of teaching units based upon average pupil-teacher ratios in schools of various size. Payment by the state of SBOO annually to each elementary teaching unit and $1,040 to each high school teaching unit. Payment by the state of one-half of all approved transportation in rural school units. Communities wanting more than the minimum may impose local chool levies to increase revenues. Study Tax Problem That the entire state levy may be lifted from the property tax duplicate is the goal being attempted by another Leslie commission on taxation problems. Chairman J. Clyde Hoffman of this commission announced today the draft of final plans is under way, conferences are scheduled with various advocates of different methods Wednesday and they expect to be through by Dec. 10. An income or sales tax, or more than likely both, will be recommended. Meanwhile, warning that at least $1,000,000 must be cut from the general fund budget to keep the present state levy of 29 cents was sounded in a report, to the budget committee made by Lawrence F. Orr, Chief examiner of the state board of accounts, on behalf of Governor Leslie.

No More Hemorrhoids All Pile Agony Ended Without Cutting or Salves External treatments cannot permanently end Piles. Nor do they remove the cause. The cause is internal—bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel. The veins are flabby—the bowel walls weak —the parts almost dead. To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles aii internal medicine must be used to heal and strengthen the affected parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt. a specialist, after years of study discovered a real internal Pile remedy. He named his prescription HEM-ROID and prescribed it for 1.000 patients, with the marvelous record of success in 90Q cases, aful then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-ROID from their owu druggist. Don’t waste time on external remedies or think of the pain and expense of an operation until you have tried HEM-ROID. Hook Drug Stores will supply you and guarantee money-back if it does not end all File misery.—Advertisement.

El Paso Boasts Record of No Bank Robberies

By United Press ■pL PASO, Tex.. Dec. 2.—El Paso has the proud boast it is one city of more than 100,000 population that never has had a bank robbery. Nor is it likely to have one soon, Sheriff Tom Armstrong believes. The former police chief and captain of detectives declared two factors combined to eliminate this phase of crime there. “The city,” Armstrong said, “has peculiarily fortunate geographical position, making it unusually difficult for a criminal to escape. “In the old days a holdup man depended upon his horse for an escape. Horses had to have water and lots of it. There were no water holes for miles around El Paso. Even on the Mexican side, water could not be found except in the Rio Grande. “A fugitive would have to keep

close to the river bank in getting away. A posse easily could follow the banks of the river and watch for tracks. “The radio, telephone, telegraph and fast means of transportation make an escape from El Paso even more risky now than in the old days. Few roads lead out of the city.” The other reason, Armstrong explained, was a tradition that El Paso is a “no man’s land” among members of the bank-robbing fra- • ternity, Britain Seeks to Block Coal Strike By United Press LONDON, Dec. 2.—Government officials and leaders of the miners’ federation appeared optimistic that the strike among Scottish miners would be settled today, and a national coal stoppage avoided.

INSURANCE FOR UNEMPLOYED IS BEING TESTED Plan Is in Effect at General Electric’s Great Schenectady Plant. Ry Bcriops-Hoicard Setespaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—While government and labor union officials are debating unemployment insurance, the General Electric Company has put it into effect in its great Schenectady works. The plan, devised by Gerard j Swope, president of General Elec- j trie, was first proposed to employes in 1925, and rejected by them. When the present depression began the plan again was submitted, and 79 per cent of the workers voted for it. Before the depression ends, it is expected to furnish concrete evidence of the benefits to be derived from insuring workers against idleness. Pay in 1 Per Cent This is the plan, as described in the current Survey Graphic: Employes are eligible to participate after they have worked for the company one year. Before insurance is put into effect at any General Electric plant it must be approved by 60 per cent of the eligible workers. Workers contribute 1 per cent of their actual earnings, if they amount to 50 per cent or more of normal earnings, during a period of three years. The company contributes a like sum for each worker, and also guarantees 5 per cent interest on the fund. The insurance fund is administered by a committee to which workers and employers each name half the members. Unemployment benefits are to be paid after a. worker has been laid off for two weeks. They amount to 50 per cent of the worker’s full time earnings but can not be more than S2O a week for ten weeks in a year. A worker on part-time with income less than half his normal earnings may draw benefits to the amount necessary to bring his income up to half of normal. AH Employes Help When payments out of the fund become as great as payments into it, an emergency shall be declared, and every worker at the plant, including supervisors, shall be required to contribute 1 per cent of his wage to the fund, while every employe of the company not attached to a particular plant, including the president, sales, engineering and administrative forces, shall contribute according to the ratio between the number of workers at the distressed plant and the total number of workers. At first many of the workers objected to the insurance burden, amounting to a reduction in their weekly income. But as times became harder, the insurance plan grew in favor. The company already has in effect an old age pension plan, and a mutual benefit association which pays benefits in case of death or sickness. Rings Worth $1,006 Stolen By United Press ANDERSON, Ind..

COUNCIL GRANTS AIRPORT BONDS $75,000 Issue for Municipal Field Is Approved. With one dissenting vote, the $75,000 bond issue for equipping the new municipal airport administration building, was passed Monday night by city councilmen. The objection came from George A. Henry who two weeks ago opened fire on airport operations in a closed meeting of the council. Heilry, at that time, declared he believed council members were not being informed of activities at the airport. Henry said his main objection against the issue was a proposed expenditure of $15,000 for cinders. The item included in a long list of equipment needed for furnishing the building and hangar, submitted by Paul H. Moore, superintendent. Members of the airport committee of the council pointed out that the amount set aside for cinders probably will not be needed and the money will be diverted into other lines of equipment. Minnesota had 4,200 farmerowned co-operative associations in 1929, doing a $250,000,000 business.

During the debate tefore the adoption of the motion, all the delegates agreed that aerial warfare is the most important problem of the future. Although the number of airplanes will be limited directly by the budgetary method, the limitation by total horse power must be decided by a conference. A Canadian amendment calling for the abandonment of limitation by total horse power was withdrawn during the debate.
