i TAGS TWELVE Ttt CHICON STATESMAN. Calfsv - Oregon, Thursday Mordng, January IS, 12i5 lidat Marsh Urges Schools to Coriso Eugene Marsh, speaker of the Oregon house of representatives, Wednesday noon before the Salem Rotary club sounded a warning that the present legislature does not intend to be" stampeded into - adjust tUtttdeieaedJ.pOt'WJif ; planning program but "will let it actions hinge on the movement of ; the war." ,'- r-y-rku 'i The speaker pointed but' that thej board of , control . sought; ap propriations , for $4,000,000 for postwar ' building in connection with state institutions; that the state system of higher education asks another million dollars for buildings at state schools; labor will ask r for 'higher benefits in unemployment compensation and industrial accidents. While there is merit in. all of these requests, the speaker point ed out, he also noted that propose ed legislation naturally brought up the important question -ot in creased taxation. In this category, he said, the ways and means com mittee is confronted with perplex ing problems, ' since the recent vote on the sales tax indicated citizens were not in accord with increased levies. . Marsh voiced the thought that consolidation of the vast number of school districts in the state - might help. He urged that the people, as local agencies, consider this question, painting out that in many districts no real property tax! is collected for support of the schools. He , indicated that each community should 'try to work out the; problem ! of furnishing better pay for teachers, thus increasing the standard in instruction. , "The legislature is composed, of 88 men and two women," the speaker said, "and we are there to do a job. We come from differ ent j walks of life, with different opinions on different subjects. .However, we have one purpose in common, and that is to make Ore gon a better state, just as you Rotarians are working to make Salem a better city."
