COUNTY 4TH AS 'GIVER' OF STATE TAXES Contributes $14.03 Per Capita More Than It Gets Monroe County Is distinctly In the "give" rather than the "take" category where state taxes re concerned. It is on of 20 counties which give more than they receive and moreover it ranks fourth from the top among the givers, the Bureau of Municipal Research disclosed yesterday. Based on Report Thrity-seven counties receive more than they give from the state taxes, a Bureau study showed, while New York City is with the 20 "give" counties. "It is particularly interesting to note." observed the agency, "that Monroe County contributes at higher rate per capital than do New York City and Erie County.

Monroe County should not be too happy about increases in state aid." The study was based on the state comptroller's report for the fiscal year ending Mar. 31, 1946, latest available. Monroe County contributed $23,696,663 to the state In payments on state taxes, and received $17,147,487 in state contributions and services. Thus, is gave more than it received and thi works out at $14.03 per capita. Schoharie Benefits Most Nassau county was on the 'give end at a rate of $26.95 per capita.

Westchester $22.73, and Albany $15.14. Other counties giving more than they got were Schenectady, Niagara, Suffolk, Erie, Dutchess, Broom, Renssalaer, Onondaga, Rockland, Montgomery, Putnam, Oneida, Orange, Chemung, Herkimer and Fulton. Schoharie County was chief bcn-flcinry Ifrom the system of imposition of state taxes and distribution of otate aid.

Ruppert to Attend Session in Capital The Rochester real estate program will be discussed by Harry P. Ruppert, real estate adviser to the City Planning Commission, when he goes to Washington Thursday to take part in a meeting of the Washington Committee of the National Association of Real Estate Booards. Must Choose 208 Out of 280 Eligibles The Board of Education, faced with the tickli.sh job of selecting 208 tmchrrs out of 2R0 eligibles to receive "promotional" increases this year under Governor Dewey's education law, soon will receive its recommendations for procedure from a teacher committee. The elected committee of teacher representatives, which has been working for several months, is expected to report to the Board directly after Easter vacation. Un der the law the teachers to be pro moted are those picked for outstanding work.

The task of the committee is to draw up qualifications for such excellence. The reason that 78 eligible teachers must be excluded from the new classification is because the law stipulates that only a percentage of the teachers must be raised, and the Board of Education budget won't stretch to permit all the eligibles to move into the "promotional" bracket, officials explained yesterday. Eligibles are those who have moved through the 12 auto matic steps of the Balary schedule and therefore are receiving the top minimums. Procedure under the law will call for special observation and rating of teachers under consideration. The law says that a teacher may be rewarded for her out-of-school community service as well as her classroom work, but that provision is a sore point with the teachers.

School people throughout the state hav'e denounceed the community-service principle in judging teachers Vigorously that It, in unlikely the Rochester committee will recommend it. The Board's advisory committee is cmposed of 21 members, of whom 12 are classroom teachers, six others are supervisors chosen by teachers, and the remaining three are tadminisrtators designated by the superintendent of schools. The committee was named in November. aim is the restoration or the "one armed bandits" as soon as possible. The local group is working independently of a statewide move for legalization of slot machines in fraternal and other non-profit organizations which got underway Friday night at a meeting in the Moose Club at Le Roy.

More- than 40O jietwonj from Geneaee, Wyoming, Orleans, lAv- Erie, Cattaraugus, bteu- ben, Niagara and Seneca Counties representing the Moose, Elks, Eagles, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and volunteer fire departments reportedly made plane to seek, state legislation to legalize the elots. They will ask the state to impose a tax on the machines under the same moral reasoning that countenances pari-mutuel betting on horse races. But in Rochester and Monroe County, persons high in club circles pointed out that such action could not hope to bring recutita at the current session of the Legislature. The best that can be hoped for under such a plan would be some favorable legislation in 1949. The local clubmen, it is believed, are seeking faster solution to the problem.

Withdrawal of the slot machines has forced most of the clubs to curtail their budgets drastically. resulted in the dismissal of be tween 50 and 75 employes and will eventually bring a sharp reduction In the charitable work carried on by the fraternal groups, it wae said. Increase in membership dues and a hike in the prices cnargea ror food and drink were seen as inescapable by club leaders. However, these price Increases can not hope to offset the loss of revenue from the machines, it was said. The Le Roy meeting decided to have a representative club man from each Western Now York rounty form CKcCullve committee next Thursday night at Le Roy.

It could not be learned last night if any Monroe County representative would attend. Representatives of volunteer fire-fighting groups told the gathering that their units will be forced to ask more money from taxpayers to carry on their activities in place of the revenue loss from the ma chines in their clubs. Threeryear-old Ronald Castle, shown with his mother, Mrs. Joseph Castle, 193 Portland and Mrs. Anna McMullen, St.

Doctors at St. Mary'3 Hospital have given him a 50-50 chance of recovering from nephrons, a noninflammatory degenerative condition of the kidneys.

At that, the odds are better than they were 20 months ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Castle of 193 Portland Ave. waited anxious weeks as Ronald hovered on the hospital's critical list and doctors worked with plasma transfusions. Yesterday, Ronald played about the Castle apartment with his shiny new tricycle his father had bought him as a get-well Inducement.

Home for seven weeks the longest spell out of the hospital since he was stricken Ronald to outward appearances has all the bounce and verve of any youngster of his age. Only indication of difference is Ronald's possession of a rather adult vocabulary for a 3-yeer-old, result of being among adults a good deal, and an addiction to playing make-believe "doctor and nurse" in which he prattles about oxygen tent, thermometer and temperature. Every two weeks, RonaJd Is taken to St. Mary's for a check-up. Though uneasy about these visits, the youngster looks forward to them because In the months he spent there he has become something of a favorite with the staff.

Ronald's Illness has been hard on the Castles, aside from inner fears for the future of their only child. Castle is an ex-31 end unemployed. He is unable to work at his baker's trade because he Is trou bled with ba5 feet and can't take the long hours of standing at his work. Mrs. Castle helps the family budget by working in a laundry.

Un-eoln, president of the Cooperative League of the United States, told the City Club yesterday. The Ohioan, who heads the Farm Bureau cooperatives of his elate and three insurance com panies and also ia national president of CARE, praised the cooperative movement as the instrument of world peace as well as economic stability at home under a demo cratic free enterprise form of government. Industry, labor nad garlculture should all think In terms of self- Kelp rather than government help. Lincoln contended, but he added with pessimism that he didn't believe they would in time to head off the next depression. "We haven't yet found that selfishness and greed don't pay, said Lincoln.

"If we actually could practice the Golden Rule, it would be the most practical business move we could make. Sene of Responsibility Cooperatives Rive the people a wner.hip and thereby create more Mtizenship responsibility and more conservative points of view, the speaker argued. They offer founder economic salvation, he contended, than price supports, tariffs and regulation of wages end hours. "Do every single thing you. can as a group," he said, "then use the government for what you can't do" The speaker, who saw "Every evidence that we are In the midst a world revolution with economic, and Arial, and positlbly rell-j ious consequences, voiced the with that under the Marshall Plan we would send farm machinery, need and fertilizer, along with agricultural advisers, to the hungry countries.

For the first time, he said, development of agricultural methods have made it possible to feed all the people of the world, "but whether we have the political rense. the sagacity, or just plain humanity to do it, Is another question" Moral, Spiritual Inue We are faced with a moral and spiritual question even more than economic or military," he added. "We are faced with the question of whether we can obey the Bibli-; cal inductions to Love thy neighbor' and 'Be thy brother's Reasons for cooperatives that Lincoln set forth are these: 1 They mean more goods to mre people at less cost. 2 They stimulate fair business practices. 3 They provide quality products to consumers.

4 They exert "a vital fore In aduit education." 5 They return ownership "to the common people." 6 They lessen social tension. They develop a more responsible citizenry. Mrs. A. S.
