With Mrs. PrestOn's
Assertions.

Vashon, Wash, Oct. 8, l9z@
Editor Ncws-Record:
When read in your last week 5
issue the letter written by our
state superintendent OF schools
Mrs, Preston, it called to my mlnd
her charming personality, her apll-
itv as a public speaker and her
prestige as state officer, but II
also called to mind a contrasting
picture at the state PIT. A. when
met at Tacoma last spring. was
elected delegate to that convention
bv our locoal PIT. A. and would
like to pass on to your readers
some of the inspiration which ]
received at that meeting.
There were gathered together
hundreds of mothers from all oven
the state, considering problems OF
child welfare. There were no poll
tics or personal advancement M
fluencing them-just what was
hest for the children of the state.
Initiative bill No. 46 commonly
known as the 30-10 plan, was spon-
sored by the state PIT, A. and Il. !,
is through its efforts that the bill
has been placed before the people,
The present school funds come
from three sources: the state, the
comfy and the local district
tax The new law does not purpose
10 change the method of taxation
Int to increase the amount pad
bv the state. So that in our wash
on school district where you are
now taxed 20 mills under the new
law YOU oculd not tax yourselves
more than II mills. There Ism 7
a school district on Vashon-Maury
island but what would benefit by
the law as has been proved by
statistics. Where does the extra
money come from2 In districts
where they have large TIMBER
holdings. water-power plants, rail-
road or valuable wheat lands
mines or other natural resources
they have a very high valuation
and run their schools with very
small local district taX--Some OF
them ON a fraction of a mill where
Won ON Vashon island are paying
20 mills.
The PIT. A., state affair as
we'll as local, considers the educa'
ton of our children, and that a
district which is rich in valuation
should help the district which !,
poor in valuation but rich in child
rem. Many schools in the STATE
were last year forced to lesser
their school year to six months
because the valuation was so low
that the limit of taxation mad'
funds inadequate. The Pr, A
contends that the child in such
district is not getting a fair dea
making only small change,
will ease the burden.
Would you want to have you
child crowded into a room OF al
grades with nearly sixty pupil
and only one teacher to save take
as ! have seen? One part OF tn
law tries to help this situation b.
an induccment for an extra teach
cr. The argument against this o.
the grounds of standing IN tn
wav of consolidation is only
theory, for we know right her
that it isn't matter OF finance
that stands in the way Of consol
dation, and no district wants to b
SO poor that it is forced to cor
solidate.
The bill was drafted by the be'
school finance experts in the stat
Ii was fostcred and launched b
The state PIT. A, 1t has also bee
fully endorsed by the Stat
Teachers association.
