LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS

local school tax be submitted to the peo-
ple the result will be local agitation.
free discussion, competition and progress
In many of our southern states We find
the school district rapidly developing as
unit of self-government. Mr.. Bryce
states that the country public school in
the south is destined to accomplish for
local self-government what the meeting
house did for New England The school
district must become the key to local self
government in the rural communities of
Alabama. This is the real battle ground
OF true democracy.
Many people imagine that an efficient
state school system is merely question
of money, no matter how the money is
obtained. This is a grave mistake. Money
is necessary, but it makes a great deal
of difference in the interest and SYM
patty of the patrons of the schools. IL
they are individually responsible In many
communities of the state the public
schools are still referred to contempt
ously as free schools" and charity
schools and "pauper schools" How can
it be otherwise when the state forces
a public school of equal duration upon
all communities alike, whether they want
it or not? How can it be otherwise when
the people of the community contribute
nothing directly to the maintenance or
their school and consider their per capita
school fund as a stipend graciously be-
slowed by liberal legislature? 1t is not
money alone that our schools need, but
with it they need local sympathy, local

Winding in and out of the big boulevard

noted various beautiful and handsome

or eight months in the year. Another
community, with radically different con-
ditions, can scarcely maintain such
months. The former community does not
need local taxation, the latter does. An
increase in the state appropriation that
would provide foA the needs of the latter
would give the former needless sur
plus. The legislature is now doing all
that it should in the line of direct APP
preparations. Any further increase in this
appropriation at this time, without local
taxation, would, in my Judgment, prove
a serious blunder. 1t would involve
practical waste of a large portion of the
state school fund, by placing it in COM
munities that do not need it or will rot
properly use it. There are communities
in Alabama that do not want public
schools, and the state should never &C.
cupy the anomalous position of forcing
a public school upon community that
does not want it, while it forbids another
community to tax itself to supply its
own educational needs.
Another important consideration should
be kept in mind. So long as the cities
towns and districts of the state must
look to the legislature for the support Ct
their schools, there is little incentive to
local effort. Do we encounter indiffer-
complain Of popular apathy with regard
to school topics, and the want of edu-
cational interest throughout the state?
These conditions are not hard to explain
We may talk eloquently and convincingly
upon school matters to our people. but
there is nothing that they can do; they
have no voice in the question of school
maintenance. Apathy and Indifference to
school matters must continue so long as
the state PERSISTS in irving TO educate
the children from the capitol. and III
fighting illiteracy at long range, while
the people must sit at home with shackled
wills and fettered hands, powerless to
help themselves. What we need is the
incentive of self-help. the stimulus of
local power. Education is local prob
lem and that problem in Alabama will
never be solved until the power Is brought
nearer to the problem.
If the schools of Alabama are to be
appreciably improved, it must be through
the power of local initiative and the
spur OF local responsibility.
1t Is important that the legislature shall
be interested but it Is far more important
that the people shall be interesed 1t is
important that the legislatures hall be
sympathetic and LIBERAL but it is far
more important that we have sympathetic
and liberal communities. with power to
act up to their ideals of right, and to
their conviction of their needs.

Age-Herald of FIT
Public school progress and development
in Alabama must await the era of local
initiative and community responsibility.
Neither increased state appropriations nor
millions from the federal treasury will
serve as substitute for a local school
tax in awakening personal and commun-
ity interest in the schools. To be eco
nomically used, school funds must be dis
tributed in proportion to the conscious
needs of the people, and those needs will
be measured by the willingness of the
people to help themselves by community
effort
Local taxation for school purposes is
an old question in Alabama. 1t has been
passed time and again, not only by the
State Educational association, but by
many of our county institutes Since
1885, large number of local legislative

In Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana ana
Georgia. whose peculiar problems are
much like our own, there is a liberal
limit to the local tax the people them
states, it is practically the only unlimited
tax Yet there is no record of abuse of
the privilege, either in these states or
in the older states where the people
have enjoyed this right for many years.
| shall not discuss at length the question
of tax limitation. The tendency today,
in the majority of the state of the union,
is to limit the rate of school tax that may
be levied by he legislative bodies of the
several taxing units, but to provide for
direct legislation by a vote of the people,
where a rate beyond the prescribed max
imum is desired 1t is doubtless wise
and necessary for the people, through
the fundamental law of the state, to limit
their representatives in the district. mu-
nicipality, county or state, by prescribing
both the minimum and maximum rates of
school tax that may be levied by the
legislative body of each unit, but it does
not follow that the people, by the same
instrument should abrogate their SOW
ereien right to reduce the tax below the
minimum rate or to increase 1t beyond
the maximum limit, prescribed by their
servants. A democratic government pur-
sues a suicidal policy when it declares
the people incompetent to decide for
themselves what improvements they need
in their local schools, and what sacri-
fees they are willing to make in order
TO secure those improvements.

DIVERSITY OF CONDITIONS

Another important argument for local
option in taxation for schools, is the d.
yersity of conditions in different sections
and communities of the ctate. One COM
.lnunity receives from the state fund an
amount amply sufficient to provide TO"
such school facilities as 1T needs for six
