OAKLAND, Nov. Enthusiastic re-
plies were received by the progress and

Of commerce to communications sent
out asking for support at the coming

ments providing for bonds for the Pa

The San Francisco call., 1910-11-05

Editor Call: The interests that are
ment No. are trying to confuse the
issue by INTERPRETING all sorts of things
that are foreign to the amendment. The
question is solely whether the amend
ment provides a new and better system
OF taxation. 1t has nothing to do with
methods of appropriating money nor
with the amount of any specific appro-
priations.
It has been alleged that the amend
ment changes the appropriation for the
support of the schools. Nothing more
false and misleading has ever been put
forth At the present time the state
legislature at each session makes an
appropriation for each of the next two
years, directing that certain amount
of money shall be set aside for the
schools, and this is apportioned among
the counties, giving 81 for each school
census child and $50 for each teacher in
each county.
The amendment makes absolutely no
change in this respect, but strengthens
the position of the schools by provid-
ing that:
"(e) out of the revenues from the
taxes provided for in this section, to-
gether with all other state revenues
there shall be first set apart the moneys
to be applied by the state to the sup
port OF the public school system and the
state university"
AS to the state university the present
method provided by the statutes is:
I'd That an ad valorem tax of cents
per 500 of assessed valuation is coll
lected and paid over to the regents
and. ~,
Various specific appropriations are
made in the general appropriation bill
or IN special acts. The amendment
says:
Nothing herein contained shall affect
any tax levied or assessed prior to the
adoption of this section: and all laws
in relation to such taxes in force at the
time of the adoption of this section
shall remain in force until changed by
the legislature
The meaning of the amendment is
perfectly clear that the same support
as heretofore provided shall be given
TO both the schools and to the univer-
slty, and furthermore this must be
granted before the legislature can make
any other appropriation. Under the
amendment the schools and the univer
sity are both gamers by having a con-
stitutional guarantee which they do not
have at the present time.
