ICAPITOL MEMO to Ae Legislature jf cnnftni niuiiloii By GEORGE C. rLITCRAFT llormed wunn induale that (he SjU U iU wf Vlff UlwlUCU Tlie first step towards tome in direct relief for local property taxpayers was taken recently by uie nuu&e vwii'ii 11 uijjhuvc-u a Hoube Education Committee re , port recommending a 15 per cent , funds. Several more important an-ps jii uie jjiuvtao ituiom principal one being the approval of the committee on ways and means. H B. 1273. introduced by Rep. John Mosser, Washington County Republican, calls for an appropri ation for each census child ages 5 through J6 12 age groups). The bill specifics an appropriation amount of $175, which amounts to approximately a 15 per cent in crease over present amount. In the past, the appropriation has been based on school census ages 4 through 19 (IIS age groups'. Present law calls for S120 ner census child (on the 4 through lt basis). A total of 1175 on the new schedule is approxi mately equal to $140 hence the approximate 15 per cent increase. Proponents of the change claim that tlie 12 age group method is more realistic and will pre sent a more accurate picture of state support of education. It should be emphasized that the bill makes no change In the dislrihution formula it changes the amount (an increase) of the annrnnrialinn and tliA mpihml nf determining the amount of the appropriation. Aliower cnanRe cmouuiea in we ' plan Is the repeal of the property lax ol I sot provision. Although this may sound alarming at first, it is merely a chance in nrocedure so I lie basic school support funds will be shown as "estimated re--ccipls" on the budget. Under existing law, many school districts present a budget for approval by the voters that Is far in excess of the actual amount raised because Dasic school sup port funds are used partially as a property tax offset and cannot be shown in the budget. If the plan becomes law, taxpayers will vole on the actual amount tn be levied, rather than a higher amount. CHhpn U'hn liavtt honn r-ifi,nl ol tne power of the rural school board in the matter of school dis trict boundary changes, will bo Interested In S.tt 2H7. Under existing law, a boundary board decision in most instances cannot a challenged or upset except by a citizen taking the matter to court. If the board de cides that area "A" should be removed from school district "X" and joined with district "y school district "X" has no choice in the mailer except in adminis trative districts, where a vote of the people Is available if a remon strance is filed. S.B. 287 provides that a rem onstrance may be filed by people from any of the aroas alfected In any Kina oi a district, it such a remonstrance Is filed, a favor able vote of the people is neces sary before the change can be made. The measure will standardize procedure for boundary changes and place the laws all In one section of the code. Most people familiar W'ith school law admit that the present codo Is a con glomeration of laws with differ cut procedure for different kinds of districts. Several public hear ings have been held, and In- hill has wide upxrt and is like ly to secure approval of the Sen ate Education Committee alter a number of minor amendments arc adopted.

Two Hours Of Variety On Prison Labor Slated For Show SALEM '1 PI' - Convicts to day were busy building the new women's unit at the state peni tentiary here while memliers ol Hie Board of Control remained divided over such use of inmate labor. Gov. Mark Hatlield was out voted last year by Secretary ol State Howell Annlins Jr. and Slate Treasurer Howard Bclton when the board authorized use of convict labor to build the unit. Organized labor broucht suit to halt the work, but the case was thrown out of court by a thrce judi;e panel. The judges ruled la bor did not have tlx legal right to sue the state. When asked by United Press International if he had changed his views because of the state's tight money situation, Hatfield said "there has been no change in my basic philosophy." Hatfield said he voted against the use of prison labor because "I felt I had an obligation In our law abiding citizens to create jobs." "I fell this took precedence over my obligations to Ihe con victs," he said. Appling held firm to his view. I "I think inmates should be used productively as fully as possible, so long as it is for the direct benefit of the slate, not for sale on tlie open market," he said. "The program of providing pro ductive and rehabilitative employ ment for Orpnnn iwnitpntlarv in mates is proceeding undeterred. The slate's institutions now op erate a furniture shop, mattress factory, tailor shop, laundry, auto repair shop, print shop, sign shop, do maintenance work, cook- Imf ann m;in:,fii a i-nmn pip l;ti m program which produces beef, milk, hogs, eggs, and other crops used to feed wards of the slate. Annlin has lone believed oris-, labor is now being considered by loners should be used on projects uV Scnale Public Buildings and such as making signs for the !,alc Institutions Committee. The meas- Highway Department. He said the Kennedy adminis tration has specifically approved tlie use of prison made signs on federally-sponsored highways. Appling does not believe prison labor poses any threat to Ircc labor. If we worked all 1.5(10 prison ers on a 40-hour week they would still make up only a tiny fraction of one per cent of the labor force in this slate," he said. A bill tn restrict use of prison uie was introduced by Son. Ed Fadeley. D-Eugene, at the request of the AKL-CIO. Tlie bill was sent to the com mittee Keb. 20. No action on it has been taken. Appling pointed out that state law requires use of prison labor as a rehabilitation measure, and More than two hours of variety acts will be featured at Uie all- youth talent contest slated to be staged 8 p.m., Friday, March 29. at the Mills School, according to Ijwrence Bullard, director of the show. Contestants will be judged in one of three categories, including youngsters of pre - school age through the fourth grade, children from the fifth through the seventh grades, and the remaining group that the Board of Control has op-ifrom the eighth grade through high eraled tlie institutions with that school. Prizes will be awarded to thought in mind for decades. Ithe winners of each group. Pro- PAGE ceeds collected from the contest will be used to provide scholar ships to children. Bullard said. The show is being sponsored by. the local Fraternal Order of Ea gles. Tickets are available al the Klamath Music Center, Bowden's Music Store, and Anderson's Pho- tography Studio.
