SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
SHOWS INCREASK IN
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL,
BUT DECREASE IN
LOWER GRADES
The Nazareth Public Schools have a slight incrca.se in total enrollment according to the report submitted to the board at its meeting last Mon¬ day evening. The Increase is entirely in the Senior High School. Both elementary schools and the Junior high school show slight decreases from last year.
The decrease In the elementary enrollment Is In keeping with a downward trend which began In 1932 and has continued ever since. Tlie decrease in the Junior high school Is probably a re-action from the exceptionally heavy enrollment last year.

»••••   By Van Dyke    ¦¦¦¦¦
Pord City, Pa., Sept. H Moetam tary ol Highways, Warren Van OyPa, today declared tha: approval of tlM Constitutional amendment autlurll« mg graduated income and Inhert* ance taxes is the outstanding Umm .1 the November election.
His Labor Day speech before the Central Labor Union was the fUril xpre^sion of a Democratic leader that the EUirle Admlniatratton will wage a Slate-wide battle for Ml affirmative vote on this referenduak At the same time, while not n»m''*g Andrew W. Mellon directly, he elted "llic huge fortune of a flnanoler who died recently" as an example of accumulations of wealth upon the State was unable to levy "dttring the life of its possessor, through lack of graduated income taE."
"Even now the manner of dlspotal of this fortune," Van Dyke added, "indicates It will be necessary for the Commonwealth to fight In eotut lor the Inheritance taxes due It, estimates of which run as high •• $85,000,000."
Secretary Van E>v'ke, after revlew> ing the record of the Earle Admin¬ istration in conjunction witb tbe Roosevelt New Deal, said:
"We are not content to stop there.
I We must not stop with one great
promise still to be redeemed.   X re>
! fer to what Is probably the greatett
I fundemental evil growing oat of tiM
40-year rule ot Pennsylvania by Um
Republican Party. That is ttie Itate**
inequitable   and   unjust   system   Q(
taxation.
"Under that system the laborer, the farmer and the small home-* owner has been carrying a load out of all proportion to his means while l)ersons Willi wealth in the form of .stocks, bond^ and mortgages, have enjoyed almost complete Immunity.
"That is because the methods de- vii-ed and perpetuated by the in¬ terests in control of the State for f:ur decades lei real estate bear the load while personal property in the form of .securities and similar intangible wealth escaped Ughtly. In fact there yjU have the real e«- pUnaiion for participation in polltioe of industrial and corpori^te leaders. Power and office' gave them assuraniM of continued freedom from payment of a  fair share of laxes.
".About $338 000.000 Is paid in taxes every year to maintain local govern¬ ments in Penn.sylvanla Of this total «328.0O0.0OO—but $10,000,000— come> out of real estate. In other words the o'R'ner of a small home, farm or bu-lnes- pays $30 for every one dollar paid by the owner of securities. If you do not own real estate you pay in other ways, •hrough higher rent or prices t-o the person who d^oes."
Van Dyke [winted out a graduated income tax law pas.v.d by the Ad¬ ministration over Republican oppo¬ sition in the 1935 session was de¬ clared unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court
•'This November you can vote on such an aniendmen.." he said, "1 dare sav no greater issue confronts the people of Penn-ylvania at the coming election than the vote on the amendment to authorize gradu¬ ated  income  and inheritance  taxes.
"It is certainly paramount lo any local queslions whirh may arise in your communiiy thi.s Fall. Do not be distracted irom this issue. Vote for th'j amendment that will save you money and that will make those contribute to the support of govern¬ ment who for so long have evaded their  plain  dut\"
