Mrs. Nye chose '"School Legislation" as her topic and reviewed for the club members and guesU some of the many bills concerning schools which have already been introduced inte the current session of the Legislature. Mrs. Nye epened her talk by saying that the Oregon School Board association is interested in legislation to achieve better administration and organization al procedures for the entire school program, is interested in a broader tax base on which money needed by schools can be raised, and wishes to achieve greater freedom of administra tion for the boards of Oregon school districts. She said that many believe there will be a "revolt of tax payers" unless something is done to revise the Oregon tax struc ture and equalize the burden of taxation. Mrs. Nye said the school bills fall generally into three classifi cations, those designed to broad en the tax base and equalize the tax burden; those designed to improve organization and ad ministration of the school sys tem and bills designed to im prove the working conditions of those in the teaching profession. She discussed HB 171, which would increase basic school sup port; SB 64. the key district bill and SB 285 as well as a number of others. Basic Support Speaking of the bill which seeks to increase basic school support from S80 to S120 per pupil, or approximately one-half of the estimated cost, Mrs. Nye said taxpayers should not think that because of this schools For Beautiful Styling . . .
