THE 12-MILL SCHOOL TAX

DR., Broueh, democratic nominee
for governor, announces that ne
will tour the statefor the passage
"a the amendment, which will De
voted upon in the next general el-
oction permitting school districts
q levy a tax of IL mills The
Resent limit is 7 mills
This amendment is apt TO meet
with serious objection over the
atate, First, because its passage
means an increase in taxation, and
lie general opinion is that taxes
ale already high enough In TINS
atate. Second, because the demand
for better schools can be better met
~ a consolidation of districts and
an increase in the efficiency OF
teachers, rather than by an increase
ID taxation.
We understand that the passage
II this amendment would merely
dive those districts that desire to
do so the right to levy a l2-mlll
tax and that the people must vote
A this tax upon themselves, which
Mems fair enough, but in many
Instances we can know in advance
thai this limit of taxation would be
provided by a few who are able to
bay it, without regard to the inter-
ests of those who are not able to
pay it.
We have in mind now a school
district that does not have as good
schools under the present limit OF
7mills taxation as it had under the
old limit of 5 mills. With the in
Creased taxation the district has
done steadily in debt, and has made
no improvements on building the
grounds, or in school equipment,
all of which are today in sad state
Of repair,
This, of course, cannot be used
as a general argument against the
N Ivy of a school tax of 7 mills, for
i(is not the common experience of
al districts. But it will show that
N requires something else besides
& agreat pile of taxation to advance
\ the school interests.
