HACKERS POINT OUT
NEED FOR SUPPORT
OF SCHOOL MEASURE
Proposed Measure Designed to
Relieve Serious Situation,
Advocates Say

Seven reasons why the initiated
school measure should receive the
support of North Dakotans at the
primary election Wednesday have
been advanced by the state campaign
committee backing the proposed law.
A statement issued by a state edu-
Gators committee headed by Walter
M. Yer OF Grand Forks said the meas
ure Is designed to relieve q serious
financial condition in hundreds Of
school districts without imposing ex-
ira burdens upon other districts
1.-THE law is necessary because the
so per cent valuation measure passed
two years ago prohibits some districts
from Offering ordinary school facil-
tiles. It will forestall the necessity
for several larger districts to close
their high school and Is constructed
to enable hundreds Of districts to
maintain decent educational stan
dards."
Summarizing the merits Of the
measufe, which permits districts to
levy up to $40 per pupil in yearly
taxes at theft own discretion, the
committee said:
Merits Of Measure Listed
1T restores part of the power
formerly held by local districts in de-
termining the kind Of q school they
should provide.
1T is purely permissive-not man
datory.
Hundreds OF districts cannot main
tain even the present low standards
without relief.
Districts not affected will in no
way be penalized.
1.-THE desperate straits Of hundreds
Of districts make some kind Of relief
absolutely necessary.
This is the only proposal to date
which will give even temporary relief
to any school district In the coming
year.
1T IS fair, equitable and just. and
worthy Of support"
Loomer said the measure Is receiv-
ing the support Of many civic organ
