WOULD ALTER SCHOOL LAWS
Two Commissions Preparing Reports
Work Along Same Lines.
ONE NAMED BY THE GovERNOR
second Was Appointed by the Ne
brRsLR Farmers Congress Rnd
Made Its Report Here
Two Weeks ARo.

With two commissions preparing re-
ports and making recommendations for
legislation to improve rural school con-
ditions I'm the state, the educators Of the
rural communities are expecting some
definite results this year along practical
lines. one commission is that appointed
by the governor, which has prepared
long report, now In the hands Of the
printer and soon to go to the governor
and, eventually. to tho legislature. An
other is the committee appointed by tho
Nebraska Farmers congress a year ago.
This committee made its report at the
last meeting OF the farmers congress I'm
Omaha two weeks ago.
While there is not the kindliest feeling
between these two bodies of investigators,
there is not great gulf between the
substance of the two reports. II is said
to be likely that bills will come out Of
both and be introduced into the legisla-
turc. 1t is also believed by some who
have examined both that there cannot be
a vast divergence in the two bills
County Unit plan.
While one provides for a county unit
plan OF handling the schools OF u county.
the other provides for n commissioner
system, which Is said to be in effect
the same thing.
one feature OF the plan of making the
whole county a unit or a single school
district Is that this carries with II tho
OF school revenue from county
taxes equally TO all the rural schools of a
given county. one of the great drawbacks
to some of the schools in western counties
is that they did not snare in the revenue
from the taxation OF the railroads passing
through the county.
William Ritchie, a member Of the gov
ernor's commission, was a county super
intendent in "A western county some years
ago, and there became firmly convinced
that n system should be devised that
would distribute this revenue equitably.
He found that school districts having a
railroad passing through their boundaries
had plenty OF revenue from taxation and
therefore had good schools, while he found
hundreds of children back in the hills that
had no school facilities at all because
there was no railroad to tax and other
revenues were not large enough to provide
them with school.
