PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUsTAFsoN. County supt.

Regardless of our occupation, ma
tionality, politics or religion we will
all agree that state aids can and
should be paid in full AS explained
in the last issue, this is now possible
under the present (1937) net income
tax law.
There is still another point on
which every Pine county citizen
should agree if we are to have and
to hold home ownership in most OF
our exploited Pine county.
Whereas, the various county, town.
ship and school district bonds were
sold in order to develop free road,
bridge and school systems that serve
the whole state and nation; and
whereas these municipal bonds are by
law levied against real estate as mort
cages; and, whereas for various rea-
sons Including depressions)-not
within the control of our struggling
pioneer home builders-much of this
land has reverted back to the state
and Federal governments.
Therefore, be it resolved that we
petition our representatives and sem
ators in Congress and in the state
Legislature to the effect that the pres
ent unreasonable and unfair laws
should be changed at once, so as to
prevent the shifting of these bonded
debts to the remaining home owners;
and also lift those that have been
thus shifted. In other words, the

state and Federal governments should
assume their proportionate share OF
all municipal bonds levied against
the lands that have thus been taken
over by the governments. This will
prevent remaining taxpayers and
home owners from being forced to
shoulder the bonds of these delin-
quent lands and thus forced to even
tually give up their own homes.
We have thus outlined briefly one
of our vital Pine county rural prob
lens and its possible solution. It is
entirely up to all of us to make oul
wishes known. Write your repre-
sentative in Congress and the state
Legislature today.
Any problem that thus affects over
two-thirds of Pine county indirectly
vitality affects the other one-third.
Here are a few cases: School dis
trict x. now operates two-room
school. A few years ago, four rooms
were operated. People are moving
out. Township and other bonds have
so shifted to the remaining few that
the total rate now reaches over 40C
mills.
School district Y had 60 pupils en-
rolled and now has only 20 pupils
About six-sevenths of the land is
off the tax lists. All the bonds now
rest on the remaining one-seventh
The valuation was over 100000 but
is now listed at $4,000.
School district z had valuation
of over $35O,0O0 which has now
dropped to less than $4,000. With
this loss of three-fourths of the tax
able valuation, not one cent of the
total bonds were absorbed. Now
these bonds (mortgages) are all
shifted over to the remaining one
fourth of the property. This is un-
fair and spells disaster to our whole
county.
Net income tax aids in most cases
will cover all school bonds and in
terest as they come due, without any
need of levies on property for that
purpose Most districts are now paid
up in advance, thanks to the 1887
net income tax law and resulting aids
and requirements. These aids de-
pend upon the number of children
listed on the school census
But, there is no way of taking up
township and county bonds except
by direct levies. So, unless the state
and Federal government assume their
proportionate shares, home owners
in most of Pine county will soon be
as scarce as hens teeth This an
cient law, which has very unsuc-
cessfully tried to protect private prop
erty rights, should be replaced by a
home owners law based on human
rights. The shifting of bonded debts
under the present laws, also prevents
any successful plan of resettlement
Talk this problem over with your
neighbors and your local merchants
ETC. Like many other economic prob
lens, it affects and concerns all of us
