GOVERNOR ASKS
POPULAR ADVICE
Wants to Know What Peo-
pie Think Of Calling
Special Election

Governor Robertson Is out with n
statement setting forth the need OF
special election to permit school
boards to replenish the funds in the
various school treasures, but IL is
not sure what is the best course to
pursue, In this connection he re-
quests the taxpayers to inform him
what they think ~ the question and
help him to make up his mind, "a
the time for deliberatlon is short.
The statement follows:
The Eighth Legislature. by adopt-
Ing joint resolution No. 3. proposed
an amendment To section Q, article
10, or the constitution, and directed
the governor by senate concurrent
resolution No. q. to submit the
81 me at a special election.
The object and purpose OF the
proposed constitutional amendment
is TO permit school districts TO levy
not more than 10 mills on the dollar
for school purposes without the ne
cessity .Of election, as Is now re-
CURED. The amendment goes fur
ther and provides that by a special
election this b-mil! levy can be in
creased to 25 mills. In other words
the law now gives school boards the
right TO levy mills without an cleo
ton and 10 mills with an election
1he amendment, III adopted, would
give them the right to levy 10 mills
| without an election and 25 mills
with an election.
There seems to be concerted
effort, at this time, on the part Of
teachers and members, so that II
adopted, 1t could be utilized this
year, and inasmuch as the date for
holding annual school meetings is
fixed by law Cor the last Tuesday
In March this year, it will be neces-
sary TO call an election I'm the i'm
| mediate future In order to enable
the various districts to take advan-
tage OF the provisions OF this amend
ment this year
lowing to buslness depression
and scarcity of money, l have been
wondering whether or not II would
be wise thing to call a special cleo
/ lion at this time, Cr whether IL
would be better TO wait until the
primary or general election.
Il would like to be advised by
the taxpayers OF the state on this
matter, but | shall have to make up
my mind within the next week
or so.'
