Thursday evening was the
first might out for Gordon Quill

one of the original members.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Wieder-

Kelley, Bob Schwenke, Allen

took part in the tournament
Thursday for the first time.
By mistake, in the first issue
the name of our Field Cover
nor was left out. Henry
Schwenke was reelected and
our club is very ably represent
ed in the state organization.
Henry is also 2-year director

legislation. Fridays Legisla-

Kvaalen, others - Increasing
the foundation program sup
port schedules to about rs per
cent of school district general
fund budgets" This bill meets
four major points for improve
ment in Montana's 14-year-old
school financing program:
/. Eliminate school district
deficiency levies.
2. Adopt a uniform basic
support level for educational
finance as it relates to property
taxation.
8: Assure school districts of
70 per cent of their budget
needs.
4. Assure school districts that
funds to meet this rs per cent
guarantee will be available.
This bill has been given BIZ
partisan support and today I
have appointed subcommittee
to work over details in each
major part. These should report
back to the Education Commit

The first week of the '63 SEES

REP. OSCAR

The school foundation pro-
gram is receiving much atten-
ton by both the House and
Senate committees or educa-
ton. Efforts are being made
by certain factions to trust the
larger burden of financing our
schools on the over burdened
property tax payer.
Both plans, House and Sen
ate incorporate a greater
equalization on County and
State levels, which is good and
reflects our efforts for the
past two sessions.
The two plans differ in that
the Senate version provides for
budgeting on current enroll
ment and provides for a man
datory county levy in lieu of
state deficiency to meet the
Minimum School foundation
program.
