HOWARD j AID TO RELIEVE COUNTY TAX LEVIES ONE MILL. f Enacted as a Law, Bill is Said to Produce $4,000.000 Annually; County Schools Listed. This story was released by the state department of education at Salem. Ore., and we print it without omment. The sales tax bill for school relief assed at the special session of the egislature on December 10, will re luce county tax levies approximate- y one mill and will cut 33,000,000 i year from the school district taxes f the state, according to an analy- is of the bill by State Superinten- lent C. A. Howard, based on the tate tax commission's estimates of he revenues it will produce. Receipts from similar revenue measures in operation in other states indicate that the Oregon bill will produce 34,000,000 annually. Sev- enty-five per cent of this sum, or 33.000,000, will be apportioned to he school districts in proportion to he number of classroom units, or he number of teachers required. This would amount to 3400 per tea- i her-classroom unit, since there are approximately 7500 such units in he state. On this basis a one-tea- her school would receive 3400; a wo-teacher school would receive $800; and a five-teacher school vould receive 32.000. The bill re- tuires the county assessor to cut rom the dlstrfct property tax levy he amount estimated to be received rom this fund. The remaining twenty-five per ent, or 31.000,000 will go to the ounty school funds of the counties n the basis of the assessed valua- ions as equalized by the state tax ommission and the county assessor of each county Is required to reduce he county property levy by the mount received from this fund. This reduction will average approxi- nately one mill.
