3O-1O PLAN WOULD
HELP LOCAL DISTRICT
pronosed School Tax Measure Dis
cussed-Pullman Has Low Per
Student Valuation for
Taxation

That Pullmans school district, No.
30. has a valuation equaling only
s224O for each of its 707 school
census children, as against a state
valuation of $5106 for each school
child, and that, because of this con-
dition. this district would receive
outside help in maintaining its
schools under the proposed 30-10
school plan, was one of the points
brought out at a comprehensive dis
cussion of the 1910 plan at the
chamber of commerce meeting Tues
day. The discussion was led by Su-
perintendent Charles Henry, who has
made a study of the proposed meas
ure. with many citizens and farmers
participating in the round table dis
cussion that followed.
Superintendent Henry's figures in
dicated that any school district in
the state in which there is less than
$4,000 behind each school child
would receive assistance from more
favored sections, while districts in
which the valuation exceeds the state
average of S5106 might expect to
assist the districts with lower valu-
atoms. Spokane, he showed, has
$3.50 behind each school child and
Seattle $3.50, both very near the
state average. He mentioned other
districts, however. with as high as
$40 900 aluation per school child
In Whitman county as a whole the
per school child valuations is ap-
proximately $4,000.
The purpose of the proposed meas
ure, he pointed out. is not to raise
taxes, but to distribute the burden
more equally and because of this it
Is, in his estimation, an eminently
fair attempt to solve the school
problems of the state
Under the proposed 3O-1O plan,
known as initiative measure No 4G.
the state would raise $50 for each
school child, through levy and in
terest from the permanent school
fund, and the county would raise
$40. This fund would be distribut-
ed on basis of so per cent for ac-
tual days attendance of children and
90 per cent based on the number of
teachers employed in the district
The law would increase the state
school tax approximately three and

HARD|NG'S SUBSIDY
PLANS APPROVED
Congress Committees Agree to
$780, ,ooo,o 900 Yearly Payments
to Y. s. Ship Owners
TO RUSH LEGISLATION
By a StoD Corrcspordent

Washington. Feb. i5.--President
Harding will present the Administra-
tion ship subsidy proposal TO Congress
within few days. it was learned to-
day. following dinner given by Chair.
man Albert D. Lasker. of the Shipping
Board. last night TO members of the
Merchant Marine Committees of the
Senate and House.
II will embody recommendation for
direct and indirect subsidies worked
out In elaborate detail.
The complete Administration plan in
written form was laid before the Re-
publican members of the two legis-
lative committees bv Chairman Laskcr.
who explained it at a session which
lased until l o'clock this morning. Be-
agreed unanimously to accept the pro.
gram in substance. and informed Chair.
man Lasker he could so notify the
President.
A Republican Senator said today he
understood the Lasker proposal, repre-.
senting the Administration program.
Will be incorporated in n presidential
message. lie said he expected the
President to submit 1t ''in q day or
two."
Direct subsidies are provided in the
Administration program In the form Of
graduated allowances based OH speed OF
the vessels. 1t is proposed to pay ves-
sci owners varying rates per ton per
hundred miles, with one.half cent per
ton per hundred miles the minimum in
the schedule as submitted by Lasker.
The rates would increase according to
the speed of the vessel. 1t is estimated
that this direct subsidy would cost the
Government $50, 0,OOO. 900 annually out
Of public funds. The committee mem =
bers agreed to prepare and push legis-
lation carrying an appropriation of this
amount.
In addition to the direct subsidies it
Is proposed to erect system of indirect
subsidies as further encouragement to
American shipping. These indirect sub
sides contemplate carrying all Amcri-
can mail in American ship bottoms.
and would require a fixed proportion of
immigrants entering the United States
to sail in American ships, and call for
preferential rail rates on American
goods destined for shipment III Amcri
can bottoms to foreign ports.
The question of ship su bsidies has
been before the Government directly and
indirectly for many years, Several ad g.,
ministrations have wrestled with il
without being able to obtain the ap.
proyal of Congress and the country for
any plan proposed. The acceptance Of
the Administration plan by majority
members of the Senate and House com
mttces forecasts favorable action by
Congress. which at the present time is
dominated by preponderant Republican
ma jorities in each house.
1t was said today the legislation would
be rushed through as quickly as pos
sible so the rehabilitation of the mer'
chant marine can be used as ltepub'
| lican argument in the coming Congress
sional campaign.
