Clifton, Va, is a little vii
lage hidden amid some hills
in Fairfax County. For the
past three quarters of a CEN
fury, it has remained the
type Of village many people
grew up in-Or wish they
had.
Its population hasn't
changed much. Only about
300 persons live in Clifton
today. About the only other
change since it began as a
railroad logging town in the
1905 has been the slow pro-
- cess Of comfortable aging.
And that's the way the
people like it.
But the times are about to
catch up with Clifton, with
ltS nall dozen streets of big
Victorian houses surrounded
by porcheS. The advent of
water lines means sudden
change in any countryside.
Before that happens, how
ever, the town fathers are
taking steps to retain Cliff
tons character - spurred by
one man in particular, A.

of Court House Realty in Fair

|Anti-PoII Tax Amendment
Approved BY House 56-37

House Joint Resolution No. j
passed the House 56-37. If and
when it passes the State Senate
it will represent Montana
ratification o f a proposed
amendment to the Constitution
of the United States which
says:
''The right of citizens of the
United States to vote in any pri-
mary or other election for presi-
dent or vice president, for cleo
tors for president or vice presi-
dent, or for senator or repre-
sentative in congress, shall not
be denied or abridged by the
United States or any state by
reason of failure to pay any
poll tax or other taxi.
A spirited fight was put up to kill
the resolution by some of good old
Dixie's gifts to the great Northwest
and the Montana legislative process,
who protested their abhorance of
poll taxes but their greater dedica-
ton to states rights. A faint of
Birchism was discernible in the state
ments of some of the opposition, but
when the roll was called 20 Republi-
cans and SO Democrats voted to ratify
the amendment.
Carrying the battle in favor of
passage were Representative Tom
Judge (D-Lewis & Clark, Francis
(D-Blaine) and James
Lucas (R-Custer).
They contended voting in ma
tional elections was a matter of
concern to every individual in the
nation, that it was not a matter
that should be left to the states,
that the poll tax is discriminatory

more apparent two years hence thar
it is now.
"The second need - greater
equalization of school costs is
recognized in this bill to the extent
that certain school district taxes
are to be replaced by countrywide
taxes. This is a positive step toward
equalization of school costs. Its
beneficial effects, however, are
somewhat mitigated by the accom-
panying shift of responsibility from
the state to the county level.
"The third need-an adequate
guaranteed minimum budget-also is
recognized in this bill, and notable
effort is made to move in the needed
direction. An adequate budget, how
ever, is integrally related to the
fourth automatic adjustment
for initiation, or, in other words, in
surance that the budget relates to
current, not past, costs. Since the
budget base in the bill derives from
the 1962-63 school year, and since
educational initiation has been pro-
crossing at an average rate of some
6 per cent per year, the budget sched
ule in the bill can be expected to be
about per cent behind the present
level by the time the coming years
budgets are in effect, and at least
another per cent behind by 1964-65.
"The budget base, in other words,
would be out of date before the bill
became effective, and would continue
to fall behind as long as initiation
continues. While the bill provides
that the State Superintendent shall
prepare a revised budget schedule
for the next Legislature, there is no
of course, that a revision
would be enacted, and even if it were
it, too, would become outdated be-
fore going into effect, if initiation
continues.

; and a barrier to an individuals
right to vote.
Judge called the poll tax ''the
single most glaring flaw in our So
ciety today" and pointed out that
both political parties have included
the adjustment of poll taxes in their
national platforms.
There was a short sorte into his
tory and a rehash of the Civil War
when Bardanouve said he twas

posal, and he could not imagine the
party of Abraham Lincoln being

ciple for which he gave his life. He
pointed out that the federal amend

and he said ''this amendment con-
Germs everyone in this room
anybody who thinks the vote of the
Senator from Mississippi does not

amendment missed the point,
that this was an individual right
as opposed to the right of the
states. here are things ths. must
not be mislabeled', he said, adding,
''this is rugged individualism and
we should rise up and give endorse
ment to this legislation.
The most surprising opposition
came from Rep. Haughey (R-Yel-
lowstone) who usually is found in
the good fight for fundamental iber-
ties.
Debate ranged from the sublime
to the ridiculous.
Rep. Mathers (R-Custer), Texas
OPP, told the House how most of
those ''lil ole colored boys" were we'll
off and could afford to pay the poll
tax and if they couldn't all they had
to do was run down the road and
ask neighbor.
Rep. Egan countered by asking
how many legislators had paid their
taxes before they voted and noted
that he didn't have the kind of neigh
bors Mr.. Mathers spoke of. Egan
said, eff you have to pay to vote it
is not free election.

ers' salaries, makes up 65 to 70 pei
cent of the bill and maintenance
buildings, etc., cakes up the rest.
Now the idea of the Foundation
Program is to equalize opportunities
Tor an education throughout the di-
verse conditions of the state. A sys-
tenn of categories, or schedules. is
applied to the reality of the various
school buildings, because it is obvious
that it costs more for a teacher to
be teaching only a handful of kids
than when she has them swarming all
over the place.
So Immediately you get the wrong
impression from the way school ad-
ministrative law is written. It is not
that kids cost dime to the state but
that teachers have to be paid. And
the teachers are not hireable on the
basis of the number of children they
are able to teach at time.
The fact is in Montana that we
are not paying enough to hold even
our poorly trained teachers. They
migrate to other states and get
much larger salaries.
So from the catagories of schools,
from those with 8 or under through
those groupings which sort of break
down to the school sizes, all of one
category is Jumped and averaged out
and given a specified sum of money
for their enrolment not for their
cost.
The real school in the real economy
of Montana fluctuates. Great Falls
and Glasgow get an influx of students
and Butte and Anaconda drop in num-
Der. So that it is inherent in a sys-
tenn which freezes averages in sched-
ules that there could be advantages |
to certain areas from greedy point |
of view to have the schedules and |
the supporting taxation formula
keyed to their special situations. I'M
fortunately this shallow thinking
motivates the voting in the Legisla-
5ure.
LOCAL LEVIES VARY WIDELY
Things of this disjointed nature

"These are the reasons why can
not be enthusiastic about this bill
| However, if enacted, it may wei
have certain short-term effects, the
overall results of which may be bene-
ficial, provided that the enactment
of the bill does not lull Montanans
into an unfounded belief that our
school financing problems have been
solved. Therefore, viewing this bill
as stop-gap measure, believe that,
in general, Montana schools tempo
rarily would be better off under it's
provisions than ait present.
'To my knowledge, the only school
finance measures now under consid-
GRAFTON are Senate Bill 20 and House

bills are identical, these comments
apply also to House Bill 81 and will
be submitted to the House Educa-
tion Committee should hearing be
held on House Bill 81, with the fol-
lowing additions:
'Unlike Senate Bill 20, House
Bill 81 provides for reducing the
Foundation Program whenever
there is deficiency in state funds.
Since the Foundation Program is
intended to be guaranteed mimi
mum budget, l am opposed to pos
sible annual reduction in the
Foundation Program merely to
avoid the necessity for recognizing
a deficiency in state funds for
schools. AS a guaranteed minimum
budget, the Foundation Program
woIld become meaningless if the
minimum fIuctuated downward.
Therefore, in my opinion, Senate
Bill 20 IS preferable to House Bill
81 in that the Senate bill does not
contemplate such reduction in the
Foundation Program.
Further, Senate Bill 20 would per-
NIT schools to make an adjustment |
for changes in pupil enrolment from
year to year, thus providing more
current budget base than exists now.
The Senate bills provision is in keep
ng with Recommendation No. 8 in
ny biennial report, with summary
tenn No. 5 in the Report of the Gov
,rnor's Foundation Program Study
Committee, and with the expressed
opinion of every education organi-
,atien in the state. House Bill 81 does
rot make provision for budgeting on
current enrolment basis. In this
then, believe Senate Bill 20

lres,'' Miss Miller concluded.
