J Indian Tnding Post Now Hold School'Fund N R ·bJ ot esponst e for Higher costs Politics and false propaganda have been used in trying to make the public believe that the state school fund is responsible for the large increases in state appropriations, according to a stat ement made by R. C. · Moore, .secretary of the .State Teachers' associatiou. But Mr. Moore says ·also that his organization is making an earnes~ effort to inform the public tbat the :ncreases in the in . recent years havestate school fallen fund far behind the increases in total state expendi...: tures, and that it is time now for more lib~ral appropriations. for equalizing educational opportunities. According to a study made 1 ccently by tl-!~ research department of the association, the appropriation for the state school fund for the biennium, October 1, 1913 to September 30, 1915, was $6,000,000, and for all state purposes, $37,905,457. In 1919, the legislature changed the fi_ scal year to begin July 1 ; and for the bien.nium July 1, 1925 to J ~l!e 30, 1927, the appropriation for the st~te school fund was $16,000,000, and for all state purposes, $285,907,382. Therefore, the increase in the biennial appropriation for the state school fund was 167 per cent, while for ail state purposes the mcrease was 654 per cent. If it is claimed that not all appropriations are actually expended and that it is fairer to compare actual expenditJ.tres, such a comparison still shows the state school fund far behind. For in the first biennium named above, the state treasury actually paid out only $40,633,023, and in the second bienniu~l named it paid out $156,348,304. Therefore, while the state school fund increased 167 percent, the total state expenditures increased 285 p~r cent. If the large increases in general state expenditure are excused by saymg that they are paid out of revenues from sources other than the property tax, the school people answer that the revenues from these other sources may well be appropriated to the school fund. If the children in the poorer districts of Illinois are to have a fair chance to get a good common school education, the state school fund must be increased in about the same ratio as other state expenses, and no one should be h;d to oppose such increase by the false propaganda that the state school fund has been the main cause of the . increases in state expenditures. r~ally Greater Volume Now Brings Lower Prices on the New Frigidaire The unprecedented public acceptance of the ~ew Frigid.aire has resulted in the greatest increase in volume in the history of the business. Quiet operation, surpassing beauty and lasting economy have further increased an already overwhelming preference of buyers everywhere. This tremendous volume has resulted in further produ~ tion economies. In accordance with the fixed policy of General Motors these economies are being passed on to the public. · Savings as great as $90 We therefore announce a sweeping reduction in the prices of household models, amounting to as much as $90, effective December lOth. A comparison ofFrigidaire value, with any other electric refrigerator will .emphasize the importance of this further reduction of prices. We are glad to make this announcement at the present time for it will enable many additional thousands of homes to have the ad van. . tages of Frigidaire Automatic Refrigeration for Christmas. The New Frigidaires, and details of prices and terms are now available at Frigidaire display rooms everywhere.
