STATE SCHOOL SUPPORT AMENDMENT ENDORSED BY JACKSON COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS 1. COMPARE THE LOCAL DISTRICT SCHOOL TAX YOU PAID LAST YEAR WITH THAT OF THE YEAR BEFORE. You will note that it was reduced on the aver age by more than five mills. This is because we voted in 1942 to use some surplus income tax funds to relieve local taxes and $5,000,000 was applied to that purpose. The schools them- selves received no more money to spend than if the levy had been left on real property. But it did make our local school tax burden a lot lest. Make this relief permanent and at the same time apply $3,000,000 more to the relief of local taxes. VOTE 314 X YES 2. THERE ARE GREAT INEQUALITIES AMONG SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN ABILITY TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS. With only local tax support many of our dis , tricts find it hard to maintain adequate schools. There are great inequalities among districts in- their ability to do so. A district that has much property to assess and few children needs to levy only a small millage. A district that has a large number of children and low property values must levy a high millage. Some districts in this county must levy more than twice what another district levy to have the same kind of school. With a state fund bear ing part of the cost some of these inequalities, at least, can be leveled out. VOTE 314 X YES 3. WHY AMEND THE CONSTITUTION Because of a previous amendment to the state constitution made some years ago, the state legislature is powerless to assume any per manent part in the support of the public schools. Therefore, it is necessary to amend the constitution before, any permanent state support of schools in Oregon is possible. To free the legislature to act VOTE 314 X YES ' Thsj State School Support Amendment Has Been Endorsed By the Following School Boards of Jackson County: . , Ashland Medford Jacksonville Phoenix Rogue River Central Point ' Eagle Point Howard School Gold Hill Prospect Talent They urge you to VOTE 314 X YES both for the benefit of the schools and the taxpayers.

ECONOMICAL SERVICE Paid Adv. asaa-ay ' il Jal I C O U O El M 6.00-16 WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE 3 1 6 EMPHATICALLY YES YES! WE KNOW THE TRUE FACTS, BUT DO YOU? HERE'S WHY $60 AT 60 AGE 18 UP IF PHYSICALLY UNEMPLOYABLE WILL tSIQ MOV. 7 It Benefits All! Everyone, regardless of Income, investments, savings, or other pensions, will receive $60 . at - 60 payments if a citisen and retired from gainful em ployment. There is no discrimination. It Builds Business! Recipients of 180 monthly payments must spend their annuities within 30 days after receipt. This enforced circulation of money provides a constant demand for goods and services, of farmers, businessmen, professional men and workers. Disabled Yets Get Payments! ' Totally disabled veterans may receive $60 month' ly payments and still receive government compensa tion comino: to them. The blind and disabled from civilian ranks will also get a guaranteed minimum of $60 a month. It Creates Jobs! Those drawing annuities must retire from gainful employment. . This will withdraw older men from Job competi tion, leaving their jobs for youngsters. It Reduces Taxes! The inqultious sales tax is outlawed, repealed and nullified, and a fair 3 per cent gross tax based on ability to pay is set up. With the sales tax out of the way, poor farms and public charity abandoned, cost of living will decline accordingly. , Wipes Out Means Test! The S60-at-60 payments are made as a matter of right rather than charity. There will be no need of social case workers, or snoopers, going into family affairs to see how much money is hidden under the mattress. Ends "Relative Responsibility"! Sons and daughters may at last live their own lives and tend to the Job of raising families of their own. Takes Nothing From. Aged! Applicants may keep their homes, their savings or investments when applying for $60-at-60. They may receive rents, interest or pensions without being penalised. Nothing but the drudgery of hard Work Jn old age or disability is taken from them. Provides Insurance for All! ' Seven out of nine people reaching 65 today are unable to support themselves. Payments of $60 monthly at age 60 or when blinded or disabled are nothing' more nor less than insurance annuities or payments made by the state to citixens from money collected from those citizens while young and able to give service to society. But, unlike industrial Insurance, 90 per cent of which never yields any returns to holders, tistse in sured under $60-at-60 cannot lose their right to an nuities because of non-payment during periods of ' illness or misfortune. Taxes On Ability to Pay! Taxes are on earnings, not expenditures. Those with small incomes pay little, but pay according to earnings. Those with larger Incomes and corporations likewise pay according to earnings. Their earnings will be greater and it is only fair that they should pay accordingly. Ill CASE YOU CANNOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE MAYBE THIS WILL SIMPLIFY IT Ballot Title Constitutional Amendment Provid ing Monthly Annuities from a Gross Income Tax. Position on Ballot Amendment 316, Summary The plan 'proposes an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing minimum monthly annuities of $60 to citizens 60 years of age or older, and to totally disabled and blind persons for the rest of their lives. Annuity Annuities begin March 1, 1945. They are protected against assign ' ment, garnishment, attachment, and execution. Payments will continue for two months after the annuitant's death, and will go to the relative or friend designated by the annuitant. . Eligibility To qualify for an annuity, a per son must: 1. Be 60 years of age or older, or totally disabled, or blind. 2. Spend his annuity within the United States or its possessions or territories. 3. Agree not to leave the state for a longer period than 90 days in any one year. 4. Agree not to suprjort anyone, ex cept a spouse or children under 18 years old. in idleness. 5. Agree to spend each month's an nuity within 30 days. 6 Satisfy state resident require ments. . The annuitant cannot accept other old-ape, disability, or blind benefits provided by the state, county, or mu nicinality. He can. however, accept workmen's compensation benefits, un emDlovment insurance, war veteran benefits, or other benefits earned prior to his acceptance of the annuity. Neither can he eneage In gainful occtiDation. But he can collect rents, interest on Investments, etc. There Is no means test. Persons in penal institutions, or havlns: a serious criminal record, are not eligible for annuities. Neither are persons confined to institutions for the mentally ill. Taxation ' Annuities will be financed by a 3 per cent gross income tax. collected monthly, on individual and business Income. Certain nonprofit organiza tions, such as hospitals, charities, scientific associations, etc.. are exempt from taxation. In the event the 3 per cent tax is Insufficient to provide the minimum $60 annuity, the state legislature is authorized to raise the rate to as high as 5 per cent, but no higher. The legislature is also empow ered to exemDt from taxation the first $100 earned by both individuals and business firms. Tax collections begin in January, 1945. Administration The State Tax Commission will handle the distribution of annuities and the collection of taxes. The com mission will transfer funds to the state treasurer, who will place them in the Retirement and Disability Insurance Fund. The legislature Is empowered to lower age and residence requirements, and to extend coverage to widows with minor children or partially dis-. abled citizens. Sales Tax The bill provides that there shall not in the future be enacted any gen eral retail sales tax. SPONSORED BY THE TOWNSEND CLUBS OF JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON
