works great hardship for the pco er
counties and the po9rer dis riets.
Districts vary enormc uEdy IN the r
ability to support schools; Da a
gathered by The State Beard of z :
cskion ard the Ccmn5ssioLeF of Edu
cation, shows as an jl,s1ra in tnat
a school dissriet in cne oouLEy in
Idaho has only an assessed yalua-
tion for every s. hool child in III t
district of s1261, while an her dis
rrict IN the same county has an as
sessed valuation fer el cry hc1l
child of s31.O0. The richest dis
trict in the state has an asses ed
valuation Of SAT 900 fer every child
of school age in that district.
Nest Of the states that are as
progressive as Idaho have a state
tax; for example, in Wcshi ct \ e
state contributes sum elul to SO
for every child Of school age, and
the ccuEties ra'sa an e9ual am9unt.
t1his makes the distrit tax very
light
The convention recommended that
the state levy a small tax, enough to
raise the state ccntritr -cl fem
about $3.50 per child, the present
amount of the interest fuEd, to $500
Car child, A,so that the county levy,
instead of being from l and ha'f
to mills, very uncertain amount,
shorld lie fixed as an slmegnt e,u.l
to $3.50 per child CT school age. At
resent The county Commissioners
fix the levy within the legal limits;
pressure is oftel brought ts be r
ON them to fix teh minimum levy
where the interests of the school
demard the maximum.
Not Increase of Cost but Eetter D.s-
tribution Of Burden.
These recommendat1cLs do not in
vcaye an increase in the total ex-
penditures for schools, but effect a
more equitable distribution of the
burden. AS it is now, some counties
and some districts have far mere
than their share of taxable proper
ty, especially of railroad and o.her
corporate property; while others are
poverty stricken and find it imcos i
ble to maintain decent schools.
