schools will be under fire again at
the monthly meeting tomorrow night
Of the Home and School Association
when state Representative J. Rogers
I Holcomb. Of the Tenth Representa-
+ tive District. will discuss the pro-
posed legislation now before the
( Legislature Professor Snavely will
, follow Representative Holcomb and
discuss The Relation OF the Pro-
posed Legislation to the Local
School Situation" The meeting will
be In the High School assembly
room.
a determined effort Is heing made
by the Democratic members Of the
State Legislature to fulfil their pre-
election promises OF fixing the
school laws" and thereby lowering
the taxes assessed. In order 10 ac-
complish this more than dozen
amendments and a repeater Of the
present school law has been intro
duced. and II is said several more
are being prepared. After Monday
no bills for action at the present
session Of the legislature will be ac-
cepted.
The fling fee. aud the transporta-
ton problems take precedence OF
public interest. At the last session
in 1921. a bill was enacted calling
upon every citizen 20 pay a filing fee
Of SO. This money was to be placed
in the funds for the support OF the
school system throughout the State.
This, along with the bill imposing an
income tax on residents making more
than $1,000 has caused much ad-
verse criticism. The prediction
promise 10 adjust this fling fee will
probably be kept by simply changing /
the name 20 per capita tax.
All persons interested in the local |
school situation are asked 20 at I
tend this meeting as many points Of I
interest 10 the general public will (.
be brought out in the discussions.
