BOARD OPPOSED

Local School Officials
Plan to Fight Pro-

WORKS AGAINST CITY
Statement Claims Money
Would BE Taken From
Large Schools.

on the grounds that the proposed
Section "a, Article 10, amendment
10 the Oklahoma state constitution
would cause a serious financial loss
10 all cities In the Iiate without re-
lioying the general situation TO any
measurable extent. the Tulsa school
board is waging an energetic fight
against It's ratification In the general
election on November ?.
j. IT. Brown, n school principal,
representing the board In this mat
ter, has prepared the following con-
ciso statement covering tho proposed
amendment and the objections
thereto.
Its Provisions.
Tho amendment provides that the
State Board of Equalization shall
levy annually a tax Of not less than
6 mills and not more than 10 mills
on all taxable property within tho
state.
This tax Ia 70 be paid into the
Common School fund of the state
treasury.
It's TO be apportioned TO the school
districts on the basis OF school
enumeration
Objectionable Features,
IL does not relieve the need for
moro money In running the schools
In large number OF the cities OF
the state, since they Will lose money
by It's enactment
1t encourages Indifference on the
pArt OF the people who are content
with the minimum educational ad-
vantages, since large number or
rural districts Will not be able TO
operate on the mill levy.
The wealthy progressive districts
will pay the bulk of the taxes under
this proposition and at the same
time tax themselves to the consti-
tutional limit U5 mills) for local
purposes.
1t places too much taxing power
IN the hands OF board OF men who
are not responsible to tbs people
locally.
The state Superintendent OF pub
lie Instruction may exercise too
much taxing power.
The principle of self-support, self
taxation. and elf-government In
educational matters Is destroyed.
Forty-one Of the n counties In
oklahoma will lose money that
properly belongs TO the schools OF
the counties no effected.
A large number OF school districts
would find thoir school tax practl-
cally doubled II tho amendment
should carry Take Tulsa county as
an example: 10 school districts In
