_________ Southern Oregon Miner, Thursday, November 2, 19-14 County Ballot Have Error in Printing It was discovered the past we«k by the county clerk's office at Medford that an error had been made in the printing of Dr. H. A. Huffman Dentist U -1 4 Swadanberg Building L Phone 21541 some 20,000 ballots for the com ing election Tuesday. Error was made in the spelling of the name of Wayne Morse .the printer hav ing spelled it as Morns. Ballots had already gone out to absentee voters .including many to over seas voters before the error was discovered. After a hurried tele phone consultation with Attor ney General George Nuener, in Salem, county clerk George Car ter ordered the printing of stick ers, and these were pasted over the name of Morris on the ballot It was pointed out that far reaching effects could come from the error, as the sticker on the ballot draws more or less atten tion to that one name, and could be said to give the candidate more or less an ad v a n t a g e. Should the state totals be close, the Jackson county vote might have a large bearing on the re sults.

The proportion of the total which the state contributes ranges from 92 percent in Deleware to 1.4 per cent for Iowa, and 1.7 per cent for Oregon. In Washington, the state contributes 57.6 per cent. In California It is 43.3 per cent, but there is a bill on the California ballot this election very materially increasing the propor tion the state will bear. (These figures are taken from Report of Research Division, National Edu cation Association 1941). In 1942, as a result of the initiative measure passed by a large majority, $5,000,000 surplus in- cometax funds are now being used to reduce local school district taxes. The reduction in Ashland was about 7 mills for last year; other districts similarly. If the proposed amendment carries, this reduction in local school taxes should be materially increased. When funds are raised on a state level, the state can make use of several different forms of taxation o distribute and cushion the load, making is more easily carried by localities and individuals. The local district has only one form—the property tax—available to it for Ail of its purposes, school, city, county and others which means this form of taxation is usually overburdened. By means of a state fund it is possible to adjust some of the large inequalities among local dis tricts m their abilities to support schools. Education of the people is a matter of more than com munity concern. With our mobility in population each local district is not only interested in the type of education it offers but what is afforded by every other district. When taxes are levied on a state wide basis ALL property within the state helps to support schools A t present, there is considerable amount of property within the state which pays no school tax. Under our constitution and laws the state is responsible for a uniform and adequate system of pub lic schools, but with the constitution in its present form, the legislature is unable to supply state support adequate to this end. The proposed amendment implements the constitution to make this posible. Local school districts, these times, held as they are by the Bix per cent constitutional limitation, cannot cope with present rising costs due to increased enrollments and drastic teacher shortages, unless materially aided by state support. 6 Paid Adv. »a Jackson County Teachers Association Jackson County Council, Parent-Teacher Association.
