SCHOOL REVENUE
PROBLEMS

Tax rates payable in 1926 for grade
school purposes in one school district
of Illinois totaled S275 per 500 of
equalized assessed valuation; the cor
responding rates in another totaled
"a cents per 500. Such inequality in
school tax rates is common through
out the State of Illinois and has ex-
listed for 20 years between these two
districts. These facts are shown by
study recently made by the Research
Bureau of the Illinois State Teachers
Association.
In one county Of this State there
are six one-room school districts in
which railroads pay SO per cent of
the local school tax. In one township
of another county the railroad valua-
lions amounts to Sc per cent of the
total valuation, while another town.
ship has no railroad valuation. In
this county the average school tax
rate paid by twelve one-room school
districts without railroads is more
than double the average paid by
twelve Others with railroads. Great
differences in school tax rates are
found to exist between districts
with low valuations and many pupils
on the one hand and districts with
high valuations and few pupils on the
other.
How to guarantee an equitable dis
tribution of public school costs is
troublesome problem, and constantly
grows in Importance with the increas-
ing expenditures for education. More
attention is continually being given
to this question, and some States have
succeeded in equalizing their school
tax burden to much greater extent
than others. Such studies as the one
made in Illinois are valuable to those
working for the improvement of pub
lie school finance.
