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.

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

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-

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
