THE SCHOOL BILLS
In the Deriod between November 7. 1944 and January 8
1945 it was generally conceded that increased state aid for
schools would be one of the questions on wnicn tne iao ure
con legislature would be asked to pass. November 7, of course,
was the day on which a state aid constitutional amendment
was defeated at the polls and January 8 was the day set for
the opening of the legislature. Demand lor sucn legislation,
. stemming trom the state teachers association, was expected
because: (1) The constitutional amendment hadn't been too
badly beaten ; (2) It was argued that .it was beaten chiefly
because it was a constitutional amendment; (8) It is a well
established principle that it never hurtB to try again when
you want more money or more anytning else.
The expectation of activity along this line has been borne
out. Seven bills for state aid have been introduced in the house
of representatives. Actually they embody three proposals. One
is for 27 cents a day per pupil (estimated to require an ad
ditional $3,000,000 a year) , one is for an additional $5,000,000
a year and one is for an additional $10 a year per pupil (again
an estimated $3,000,000 a year) .
It may be assumed that final consideration will be limited
to one of these proposals or to adaptation or one oi tnem.
Which one may depend to some extent on presentations at the
hearing called by the house taxation and revenue committee
for Tuesday night, when all bills on the subject will bo given
an airing.
Frankly, we don't care for any of the three plans.
The first would require a state property tax, which could
be wiped out only if there dre sufficient funds from state
excise and income taxes to pay it. In other words, it is a set
commitment which must be met regardless of economic con
ditions and ability to pay. Incidentally this was one of the
weaknesses which resulted in defeat of the school bill at the
November election.
The second caTls for $3,000,000. It is aimed at excise and
income tax revenues. Insufficiency of these would not result in
property taxation. The funds distributed to school districts,
however, would not have' any application in reducing school
district levies as is ostensibly intended in the first plan.
The third plan differs from the second chiefly in the fact
that it would call for an estimated $3,000,000, variable accord
ing to schoo) population, and in the further fact that this claim
against treasury funds would have a lower priority, It would
come from funds above the $5,000,000 cushion provided in
the Walker plan legislation of 1943. Plan two (and plan one
as well), calls for withdrawal from funds before the cushion
is established, therefore lessens the likelihood of there being
a cushion. In common with plun two the third plan would not
have recourse to property taxation.
The third plan is the one which we dislike the least.
All three have one common objective to trot th mnnrv.
Any one of them, in achieving this, would delete the treasury.

Crease taxes, even when that is the asserted purpose. Because
they may seem to do so at one point in the tax structure
through diversion of funds from another point, they might
actually encourage the fallacious idea at the favored point
that more taxes can be levied without cost. There can be no
such magic.
Any one of the three, setting up claims against state funds
in a time of high incomes and illusory prosperity, may bo

Izabela, now a gawky young
lady, was being fitted into a now

the kitchen, her arms akimbo,
while Mamma Chopin, on her
knees, pinned a little here, 'a little

"Very nice," Jozef Eisner said,
looking over the rim of his spec

" Tch, tch."
"Izabela! How do you expect
me to fix anything if you don't
stand still?"
"But I am. Mamma; I'm only

"Well, don't even move that."
Professor Eisner removed his
spectacles and wiped the thick
lenses with his red kerchief. "A

"And why not?" Mamma Cho

By Peter Edson
(NEA Staff Cnrraapondsnt)
Washington, D. C There were
8852 bills dumped in the legisla
tive hopper in the 78th congress
January 1942 to December 1944.
That is an average of more than
16 bills per congressman.
Only one out of nine of these
blllSj or 989 of them, became laws.
If this average of one public and
one private bill per congressman
in two years makes you wonder
what the solons do with their
spare time, it gives a false impres
sion and doesn't begin to tell the
story.
The sheer bulk of proposed
measures which must be studied
so that congressmen will know
which bills to vote for and which
to vote against Is staggering in
Itself, and this brings up one nf
the major reforms which has been
suggested for modernizing con
gress increasing and improving
its staff. Congresmen claim they
need more and better and better
paid help to do their jobs.
In the closing days of the last
session, congressmen voted them
selves and extra clerk to help
them take care of the business of
their districts and states. This
will give each representative $9500
a year to hire not more than four
clerks. Each senator may hire up
to six clerks or seven if the sena
tor comes from a state of more
than three million Inhabitants.
Pay of these clerks Is $1500-$4500,
averages less than $2500.
In addition to these personal as
sistants, the congressional staff
consists principally of clerks and
counsels assigned to the 81 stand
i n g congressional committees.
They number about 300 in all
200 for the senate, 100 for the
house, and with few exceptions
they are limited to tops of $3900
in the senate, $3300 in the house.
Many congressional clerks are rel
a t i v e s, resulting in nepotism,
which is considered bad.
To help congressmen draft laws,
there is an office of legislative
counsel consisting of four law
yers, one assistant and two clerks
for each chamber. Total cost for
this service are $83,000 a year.

WASTE SALVAGE SOUGHT
(Salem Capitol Journal)
Dedicated to the objective of
reducing the high percentage of
waste involved in the manufacture
of lumber, a new organization
came into being in Oregon this
week with the incorporation of a
non-profit corporation known as
the Forestry Products foundation.
The incorporators are Herbert J.
Cox of Eugene, executive manager
of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association, chosen president, Dr.
Paul M. Dunn, director of the for
est products laboratory of Oregon
State college, vice president; and
B. T. McBain, secretary-treasurer.
Four more directors are to be se
lected in the immediate future.
The first activity of the new
foundation will be to raise funds
for the construction of an ade
quate forest products laboratory
building at the state college and
to provide the necessary equip
ment with which to carry on prop
er research and develop methods
of utilizing waste materials of the
lumber industry. Funds will be
raised through solicitation of tim
ber owners, loggers, mill opera
tors, pulp and paper producers
and others who may be interested
in the future of the lumber in
dustry in the state. These funds
will supplement any appropriated
by the state for the college labora
tory, such as the $50,000 being
asked of the present legislature.
Any buildings constructed and
equipped with these privately do
nated funds will be located on the
college campus and will become
the property of tho state. It is es
timated that the completed pro
gram will require the expenditure
of $400,000 to $500,000. The plan
embraces the Installation of pilot

At present only about 35 per

proposes to .check all of these
wastes with a view to putting
them to possible use and at the
same time provide facilities to
