Newspaper & ferprise Assn. 1907-09 Seven nth Ave., Seattle, Wash. Publishing Ce, and Unites @ monthe #2.0¢ Preas Bervion | « oh Entered as second class matter at Seattia Wn, under act of March 8, 1879 The Seattle S Star a4 | See E The Truth—and Nothing but the Truth } i { : (GV ERNOR H.: ARTL E Y had every cuabiusdarina taxpayer | with him when, in his message to the legislature, he said: i “Tf we are to bring about any substantial reductions in the t cost of government and afford the taxpayer any real relief, we ; must turn our attention to those institutions and agencies which | are absorbing the bulk of tax money.” : But when Hartley amplified this statement with specific rec ommendations as to what should be done to cut expenses in our educational system, that was something else again. A ery of protest went up everywhere from our educators and from others who are interested in our schools. Hands off the schools” was the burden of the demand that 4 went to Olympia from every section of the state. There really wasn’t much need for such a flood of telegrams of protest. For the legislature hasn't seen fit to take the gov- ernor’s school program very seriously. nye: UT the governor hit the nail on the head when he said that if we want to materially reduce taxes, we must look into the places where the big levies are made. And more than 79 per cent of the 1926 state levy goes for education. The trouble with the Hartley plan is that the public has no con- fidence in a politician who proposes to burrow into school affairs. It views him with suspicion and alarm. Mr. Hartley may have had an excellent idea. Perhaps there are loopholes thru which school funds dribble in sizeable - amounts. Perhaps there are shortcuts possible in administration + and eliminations that can be made in courses. : Let’s accept his idea that this is the place to go for possible re- lief. But let’s have an investigation undertaken by a commission * that has the welfare of the schools at heart. The Star suggests that the Parent-Teachers’ Association of the state at once take over the job of surveying the Washington educational system, reporting to the publie on whether it is pos- sible to cut down the present cost of our schools without lessen- ing their efficiency. This organization will be impartial. Its members are interested financially because they pay taxes. They are interested in the schools themselves because they have children attending them. We can be certain that any report made by this organization will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And the public will have no o hesitancy in abiding by it.
