TO ASK CHANGE
OF STATE LAWS
Illinois Teachers to Request ReTis.
ION of Revenue Statutes AZ
fec4ing Schools.

Springfield, IIl.-To correct what
are said to be Inconsistencies in
state revenue laws affecting schools
which have caused serious flnan-
ciaI problems, amendments to stat
utes will be urged upon the legis-
lature, according to Hugh s. Ma
gill, Jr., chairman Of the legisla-
tive committee of the Illinois State
Teachers association.
One change proposed by the state
teachers organization is a provision
to make possible the leyying of a
tax up to per cent on the hun
dred dollars valuation for distin ct
ly educational purposes, provided
the total school tax for both educa-
tiOnal purposes and building pur-
poses shall not exceed per cent
The amendment will provide, how
ever, that such levy can be made
only on vote Of the people in a par
ticular district
AS the law now stands. a total
school tax is Ievyable of 8 per cent,
equally divided between the eduCa-
tional fund and the building fund.
Such a division is declared to be
unsatisfactory, because educational
needs greatly exceed building re
quirements The result has been
that boards of education through
out the state, according to Mr.. Ma
gill, have faced big deficiencies in
their educational funds while mon
ey has laid untouched in building
funds.
Transfer Of moneys from one
fund to the other is prohibited by
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-12-27

laws. AS a further means OF re-
lief, it is proposed to take "oper-
ating expenses" from the building
fund hereafter, whereas the items
included under this heading now
are taken out OF the educational
fund. Operating expenses, under
the amendment would be the cost
OF fuel, water, light and power, jan
itor service and possibly equipment.
That schools may have greater f.
nancial resources, the teachers leg
islatiye committee will urge in
crease of the state distributive fund
from 100000 to 100000. The
committee will also work for ratifi-
cation of the federal Smith-Hughes
act permitting states to participate
in federal vocational education
funds Another bill striking at
high school fraternities is expected.
Such a bill was vetoed by Governor
Lowden last session.
