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.

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.
