DRAB FUTURE IF
SALES TAX FAILS
In answer to the question, "If the
sales tax Is detested, wbst then?"
C. It. Bowman, county achooi super
intendent, today drew a very dis
couraging picture of the financial
situation of schools in Jackson
county.
"The answer Is essy to school au
thorities, who know the true condi
tion of school finances," he lead his
reply. "Many schools will close.
Others may run only a short term.
"Schools cannot run without funds,
especially when thirty-nine of our
districts are now already consldersbly
in the red. School authorities can
furnish the physical equipment, such
a buildings, furniture and textbook,
which are already on hand, but the
patrons will have to furnish the
money, which means only one thing
tuition.
'Do not be deceived because re
cent tax collection have been re
ported as good. Here are the facts:
"Nearly a million dollars in Jack
son county 1 yet delinquent on th
two years, 1031 and 1033. And a
million dollars 1 yet to be collected
of the 1033 taxes. Remember, that
the tsx collections, recently made, are
the cream snd that tax payment
from now on until the close of thj
calendar year will be slow and small.
"Your vote on May 18th may help
to decide whether your child or your
neighbor's child will continue to have
school privileges. A vote against the
ssles tax is vote to close many of
our schools or to put them on a
tuition basis if they are to remain
open."
