SCHOOL BILL AMENDMENTS
KERF THE TEAC HERS' PBOM1M
The Oregon Voter say* that teacher
good faith is demonstrated in amend­
ments to the Teachers' Bill, adopted
by the people in November. The
amendments, sponsored by Oregon
State Teacher* Association executive
and legislative committees In fulfill­
ment ot pledge to amend into form
that would fulfill campaign promise
of application of surplus income-tax
funds to property tax reduction, are
in excellent form to fulfill that prom­
ise. The reduction would go to local
school district taxpayers, on their
special school district taxes (if any
levied) after the levies were made
but before their tax bill* were made
out. The amount to be applied in
each school district would be de­
termined during July, by compilation
and computation of attendance rec­
ords and dividing them into the total
available for distribution. » No dis­
trict would get the money as addi­
tions) income; it would get it only to
replace the amount deducted from
the property tax bills.
The only
chance to take unfair advantage of
this would be in skilful anticipation
and advance budgeting by the dis­
tricts whose budget* are voted by
school meeting* and are not subject
to the six per cent limitation. Other­
wise, the six per cent limitation is
well safe-guarded'by the teacher* in
their amendment. Whether this hole
can be plugged without undue inter­
ference with proper increase by these
limitation-exempt district* — there
are about 1,800 of them in that class
—is uncertain; It may be that amend­
ment of the budget law or the elec­
tion law can accomplish this. There
may be some little “bugs” in the bill;
we are fully convinced they are not
there by design; the teacher commit­
tee* have proven the genuineness of
their intent to get the bill into such
shape that it will not disappoint the
property taxpayer* who supported it
because of teachers association as­
surances that it would reduce their
school district taxes.
Application of this surplus to reduce
the levy for the county school fund
would divert the money from the
purpose clearly set forth in the ini­
tiative bill. That bill definitely was
intended to provide the relief for the
special school district taxpayer*. The
amendents spread this relief to tax­
payer* who, in the bill passed in No­
vember, would hsve been compelled
to pay most or all of th* 2-mill ele­
mentary tax; tb expect these same
taxpayers, where there is no special
school levy, also to get cancellation
of their county school tax would be
expecting too much. It would be to
deny relief where it is most sorely
needed to the districts compelled to
levy special school district taxes.
