SALARIES REDUCED IN
APPROPRIATIONS BILL
Editorial Note: Conflicting reports on
the matter of the Institutional budget
continue to arrive from Oklahoma City
Today's ictory indicates a salary reduc-
tion of $6000 for A and M for the new year Reduction in such amoi would
be nominal The report of Monday that
A and M salaries would remain "prac-
tically the same" appears thus borne
out Attention is called however to
the fact that it appears impossible to
make a flat definite statement on the
budget total until the figures are pass-
ed upon by the legislature Stories from
the capitol have consistently given state
papers varying amounts and this paper
is inclined to print the dispatches "with
reservations"
Oklahoma City March 5—Gover-
nor Mar land's budget appropriations
cut into the salaries of state-paid
educators and institutional workers
a comparison of the first budget bi:1
with present appropriations showed
Tuesday
Changes per year for institutions
showed Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical college salaries are cut
$6000 and the extension division is
cut $42000 Overall expenses for
the first year are cut $34000 and
$67000 for the second year
Other institutions suffered much
deeper salary cuts
Speaker Leon C Phillips announc-
ed Tuesday the house will cut the
Mar land budget He said he would
favor holding departments and insti-
tutions to the figure of 1933 which
some figured at nearly $1000000 less
"I can't imagine why we shou:d in-
crease anybody" Phillips said

a tax would make it impossible for
many of these wells to operate" The

lieved the new bill which is to insure
that tax-exempt gas actually is used
