SALES TAX WILL
SAVEPUBLICSCHOOLS
BELIEVES C. A. 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.
The amounts that would be re-
eived from the sales tax revenues

axes that would result are shown
