. ' ' If" i School BUI Wim First Skirmish 33-27 Vote nMain o Issue Set for House Today The house refused 33 to 27 Thursday to kill the proposal to add an estimated 915,000,000 a rear to the basic school support fund. The vote was on a motion to substitute an adverse minority committee report for the majority report recommending passage of the measure. Formal house action on the bill itself is scheduled for today. In the meantime, proponents of the bill are known to be under . heavy pressure to maintain their stand for the final vote and oppo nents are laboring long and hard to muster three more negative votes which, would defeat the measure. Ren. Giles French of Moro, member of the house education srommittee which favored the bill to 5, led the attempt to kill the measure, assisted mainly by Rep. Edward Geary of Klamath falls and J. F. snort or Keomona roeerty Tax Forecast Proponents of the measure were Jed by Rep. Lyle Thomas of Dal s, augmented by Reps. Howard JIargan of Portland and A. j. wett of Tillamook. Probability ' that the measure. If ratified by the people, would lead to ja state property tax was ad mitted by supporters of the bUi. Opponents said such a property tax was inevitable. The measure calls for total stat support of 193 per census child. Present figure is $50. Swett de clared the California figure was $10 and Washington s $123. In fighting the measure, French 'declared there was no evidence that schools had been improved br, the $45 ($17,000,000 a year) voijed two years ago. He said the ette had too many school dist ricts: that the school system was inefficient; that the state's un employment list of 90,000 was evidence the increase was not economically feasible, and that the . bill comprised "an equalization tax measure and. not an equalixa- tioa education measure." fttate Deficit Cited Geary urged spread of the eounty unit school system (now effective in five counties), and cited that among Oregon's 1350 school districts were "man one teacher schools and high schools with 10 pupils or less" as exam- Jles of continuing unequalized ducation. Short, who also is a member of the. tax committee, said that un Mar the present expectations the state will be required to use up t; entire $50,000,000 income tax Surplus in the next two years, avn . without the added school fund. Rep. Lyle Thomas, leading pro ponent of the measure, declared the; proposal "actually is an equal!' won biH," " and while be de- eared "in all probability a por m of it will be a property tax .... its avowed purpose la to raise; money where money la, and distribute it where it la needed.. Cent Increased Thomas also said originally the basic school support fund of 1947 was designed 'to cover SO per cent f secondary and elementary school costs, but that because of increased costs and population, and - 'lag" in assessed, valuations, the Original fund covered only 33 per tent of the costs. The Dallas representative added that "the money will be supplied anyway, either at the local or Kte level, regardless whether this I passes, but its passage would aid equalization.-. Rep. Henry Semon of Klamath Falls, chairman of the ways and means committee, did not speak Specifically against the bill but el ted budget figures showing the itate faces a deficit even without the school measure, ke-referral Defended Rep. Rudie wilhelm's motion to K refer the bill to the ways and ana committee was voted down, as was a motion to -vote on final passage immediately ' without the Usual delay after adoption of the sommirtee report. -a The bill (HB 193) acts up the . aw per census child aa an add! lion to the present support fund and also- would set aside $2,000,000 annually to-assist distressed dist ricts in providing school facilities grom tne lirst through the eighth grade.

Solon Criticizes Newspaper Tieup In Letter to AFL Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, Port land democrat, said Thursday that "the impact of the Portland news paper strike, through its muffling of legislative news, will have an adverse effect on our state for years to come." In a letter to James T. Marr, stflte federation of labor secre try, Neuberger said that the only way many people can become In formed on legislative matters is through the Portland newspapers. "The bulk of the legislators are extremely reactionary," he wrote. "Yet public opinion is a brake on this reaction." He wrote that one effect of the strike also might be the promo tion of laws against labor.
