State Support For Our Public
GrhAnIs

Why should local taxes be relied
upon to provide 96 percent of the
cost of public education in Ohio
when in the nation as whole local
taxes carry less than SO percent Of
the load? Why should Ohio provide
only $4,800,000 for schools out OF
the state treasury, when the other
Al states provide total Of $323,-
100000 from state funds? Ohio,
with nearly a nineteenth Of the ma
tion's population, has state fund
constituting less than sixty-sixth
of the total for all states.
+ If there is some peculiar virtue In
saddling the burden of public
schools upon the/backs of the loca,
taxpayers the home owners
and farmers, then Ohio is illus
triously virtuous. She joins a puny
parade of five states where less than
FIVE percent of school revenues are
provided from state sources. This
thin, stray line is, in descending or
der of demerit, Iowa, Ohio, Col
orado, Oregon and Kansas.
But let us have look at the
ranks of those commonwealths that
do recognize the states obligation
to support schools and to equalize
educational advantages in more
tangible way than by lip services of
a constitutional guarantee. Here
marches Delaware. deriving 87.9
percent of its revenue from the
state treasury; Alabama, 408 per-
cent; Georgia, 1915 percent; Texas,
1873 percent; Arkansas, 1877 per-
cent. Utah, 1916 percent; Mississip-
pi 33.5 percent; Washington, 28.3
percent; Maine, 286 percent. New
York, 27.6 percent. The average
OF state support in these ten states
is 1874 percent. Contrast this with
Ohio's Al percent.
In exactly half Of the states of
the union, 19 percent Or more of the
money necessary to maintain the
schools of those states is obtained
from state and federal aid. The av-
erage amount so provided in these
"a states is 29.S percent.
Here are the sums provided in
1880 by the leading states for the
9 4 Of local school districts: New
York. SIS, 100000; California, $26,-
CPS eco. pennsylvania, $23,092,-
00ee Texas. So @,029,00O: New Jer-
sey. $20,956,G0o. Michigan, 49,
$4,000. Can we be proud of Ohio's
$4.800,000?
When the property tax system is
breaking down, when the burden Of
local taxes on real estate is becom-
ing intolerable, shall not this great
commonwealth of Ohio find it pos
sible to assume it's statewide obliga-
ton through the creation of state
fund for equalizing school advan-
tages? New tax sources can be
found which shall redistribute the
present load now saddled almost Ell
tirely upon the property ownec.
This is the direction in which we
must move in Ohio. The parade CT
the states is fast moving away from
us in undermining school revenue
systems. The figures tell a very
plain story. Teachers and pubic
can join hands in program tina.

IMPEACHMENT

BERLIN, Aug. 30.-lm- peachment of President von Hindenburg, Chancellor vo n Papen and members of the German Cabinet on charges they have violated the con- stitution is d e m a n d e d by Clara Zetkin, 75-year-old Grandmother of the Ger man Revolution" Communist leader, when in the capacity of senior member she opened the first session of the new Reichstag.
 Previously, President von Hindenburg h a d announced he was in complete accord with the Governments pro- gram on taxation and efforts to increase employment.
 Chancellor's Program
 Chancellor von Papen's program includes tax refunding system over five-year period and a sub sidy to employers increasing en- ployment. He said this is cheaper than the dole and will put men to work
 President von Hindenburg's state ment is taken to mean that If the Reichstag disapproves of the Cab- inet's course, it will mean certain dissolution and this is the last word and that no combination of parties will turn the Government from the present path.
 Impeachment
 Clara Zetkin said: "The immed- fate duty of the Reichstag is to overthrow the Cabinet and impeach the President. The political power, for the moment, has been seized by the Presidential Cabinet formed for the elimination of the Reichstag.
 "The Cabinet is the hand maiden of the trust monopoly, and capital and big landowners are the moving powers.
 "The Government has failed mis- erably to solve the domestic for eign problems"
