Perhaps it was in our efforts to ally and intermingle ourselves with less privileged people in less civilized nations that, instead of teaching our better way of peaceful protest, we imitated their reversion to barbarism. Addressing a Chicago street rally August 26, 1968, during the chaotic political convention in that city, under a black flag of anarchy, a professional troublemaker named Tom Nayden declared an end to peaceful demonstration and said, "Blood will flow from a lot of heads." He told his followers, "Take to the streets; the streets belong to us. Go to your homes and create one, two, three hundred Chicagos!" Britain's Lord T. B. a hundred years ago, did not believe Jeffersonian democracy could long endure. He felt that government by majority inevitably entrusted decision-makin- g to the poorest and most ignorant He said men and nations will always have "bad years."

TRADEMARK 1 - The MIA held CLIFTON Make no mistake about it, of the the surplus at the end their opening social Tuesday By JOHN CORLETT Idaho Statesman Political Editor that in our country we do Huns and Vandals who ravaghave laws limiting every- ed the Roman Empire came By PAUL HARVEY FERTILIZATION WORKING Politically Speaking Great While It Lasted FALL MIA Holds First Social The State Board of Education 1969-7- 1 budget for the public schools has a flexibility that ought to appeal to the legislators when they convene for the 40th session in Janu- ary. The budget calls for an increase in the total cost of pub- lic school education of about 20.6 million, of which $12.5 million would represent a 9500 a year increase in salary for each of the state's 8,300 teachers. Another S3. 15 million would be needed to take care of the increase of student enrollment. The board accepted the recommendation of State School Superintendent D. F. EngelHng, who noted that although the $12.5 million represents a $500 increase per teacher for each of the two years of the next blennlum, the money would not be allocated to the districts for such purposes. The trustees of the districts would decide as they always have, the salary increases for the teachers. Sienificantlv. the board's budget would require the school districts and counties to somehow raise an addition al S13.2 million to hem finance the S177.8 million total cost of public school education for the coming bienmum. This is in line with the re commendation of the State Task Force for Education. current biennium will approach $20 million. The normal growth to accumulate in the two years of the fallowing biennium, ending June 30, 1971, ought to provide at least another $15 million. Of course, some correction may be necessary in the diversion of sales tax revenue to the local units of government because of the inventory tax phase out The electorate approved the sales tax to provide the necessary funds of education. If the legislature and the governor would allow the tax to do just that, Idaho could say amen to the solution of the financing of the public night with a chicken supper and games.

Lew-isto- Fall time ...a great time for pictures! The board's 1969-7- 1 budget Is flexible because the legislature can decide whether It can afford to provide state funds that would require $500 a year salary increase for each teacher, or $400, or less. The legislature can either approve or deny three innovative programs proposed by Engelking an expanded experimental program for special education, a pilot pro operation gram for of elementary teachers and a summer kindergarten. These would cost slightly in excess Autumn's annual show is a color spectacular, ft splashes golds, browns, reds, a dozen shades of yellow and fading green on the countryside.

If the legislature has the courage to ooen the gates to allow the school districts and counties to increase their share of the costs of the DUb lie schools, it is possible to very nearly meet the board's budget And if this were to happen, Idaho would finally be mak ing corrective strides toward proper financing of the pub lic schools. 1969-7- 1 If the 1969 Legislature concentrates its efforts primarily In the education field, it may discover it has sufficient monies in the general fund to provide the public schools with $15 million additional and still grant needed Increases to the institution of higher education, including Boise College. g JOHNSON'S DRUG AS A PUBLIC SERVICE LISTS NEXT WEEK'S SCHOOL LUNCH MENU (Eastside Schools) FRIDAY, SEPT. 13 Turkey Pie Sliced Tomatoes Peaches Bread, Butter TUESDAY, SEPT. 17 Toasted Cheese Sandwich Sliced Tomatoes Tuna Salad Rice Pudding Milk SEPT. 18 Ham and Beans Vegetable Jello Salad WEDNESDAY, Apple Milk MONDAY, SEPT. 16 Pizza Tossed Salad Buttered Corn Doughnuts Milk Pie Bread, Butter Milk SEPT. 19 Hot Dogs and Mustard Hash Browns e Cabbage and Milk THURSDAY, Slaw-Cooki- JOHNSOH'S DRUG PHONE PRESTON SK-CI- U This Week's Special!!
