It has been said that many of them are acting under com-
pulsion. If so it is strange they are not.able to see that their
welfare as well as that of the schools lies in public control and
their emancipation from such -humiliating repression.
Instead of disseminating the absurdity we use the ntffd
term merely as a matter of courtesythat if the bonus and
tax levy are defeated there will be but 41 cents for the opera-
tion of the schools next year why do not the bosses who are
insolently trying to' drive through their extravagant and un-
necessary program "state the real truth ?
Why do they not tell that the law provides see Section
31 that another election for bonds and tax levy may be held
after six months on November 7 to be exact when the peo-
ple may have an opportunity to vote on a more rational bond
and tax program -s. '
Why do they not tell that as early as Novemler 7 almost
a year and two months before the final day for-the payment
of 1924 taxes the people if'an opportunity be given them
can .authorize the issuance of fl 000000 in bonds and such tax
levy as may be necessary to operate the schools and carry
the bonds? . ' "

And finally. The Post Is the friend of the taxpayers the
heavily-burdened taxpayers; tke taxpayers who now have an
aggregate bonded debt of nearly $29000000 loaded upon their
homes and other property and -who are paying a combined
tax rate heavier than ever has been assessed against the prop-
