A SUJGIAT.Y OP SCHOOL BILLS.
There i3 at present three School
Bill3 before the legislature for con
sideration, each seeking to provide
a six months school term, "which are
known as the Brooks-Joyner Bill, the
Coon's Superintendents Bill and the
Butler Bill.
The Brooks-Joyner Bill is a cen
tralization affair that takes from the
counties the entire State - levy of
taxes for schools and is apportioned
and paid out upon order of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
and is based upon a 32 cents tax
levy. This 32 cents takes the place
of the present 20 cent levy, and the
present State appropriation, all ag
gregating $2,850,000 in round num
bers, which is being .substituted by
$3,200,000 raised under the 32 cents
levy, making a net increase of $350,
000. The State's present tax rate is
23 66-100 cents general tax, 4 cents
for pensions, 20 cents for schools
and 19 cents for the county, making
a total of 6 6 2-3 cents the constltu
tional limit. The rate would be
shifted under the proposition made
to 11 2-3 cents State general pur
poses, 4 cents for pensions, 32 cents
for schools and 19 cents for the
county, the shift being a ;12 cent
reduction on State general tax and
an increase of '12 cents on : school
rate, leaving the balance of the rate
the same as at present. It appears
to be 'conceded that' some " of the
twenty-six bigger,, .counties in. the
State paying the 32 . cents rate
would upon an average receive back
of the tax paid 17 cents, and would
contribute the 15 cents to the weak,
or what are' known as the pauper
counties. ' -
2 The Coon's Superintendents Bill
seeks to cure the defect of centrali
zation by holding the tax rate as at
present and using the present $850,-
000 appropriation for the equallxlng
fund for the purpose of bringing up
the school terms in the weak conn
ties.. ' ' ' ; . , , .
w: The Butler Bill, so-called, would
put all the taxes in one pot and then
distribute it to all the counties upon
a per capita basis. In other words.
Durham County, which is a large tax
paying county, should have the same
school term and the same approprla
tion per capita as Sampson County,
a weak or pauper, county, that falls
far short of paying the school taxes
that Iurham County" pays. There
fore, Durham County would be con
tributing to the upkeep of the schools
in- Sampson County ' 4
t-t -" ,i -,-v y -"
kiA final analysis' shows that neith
er one of the bills are perfect by any
manner of means. An equitable ad
justment of the matter would ap
pear that the rate of 20 cents should
remain as it is and retained in the
counties as at present. . If it is nec
essary to supplement the school levy
of 20 cents by $1,200,000, which the
advocators of the Brooks Bill claims
necessary to bring up the weak coun
ties to the six months' school term.
It would, be well for the State to re
tain its present -general rate of 23
2-3 cents and from the sum received
from this rate appropriate $1,200,-
000, covering the 12 cents rate for
an equalizing fund in the same man
ner as the present appropriation is
made on the S cents basis to help tha
weak counties. It is admitted by a
large - number of superintendents
that the present supplemental schooi
fund has not been honestly admin-
stered for. in many instances Super
intendent Jones in one county would
"fudge" upon his statement so that
he could get more ' money than he
was entitled to, because. Superinten
dent Smith In the adjoining .county
was doing identically the same thing
and it was a race between them to
determine which would get the .most.
It. Is admitted also that, in .many
counties valuations were held down,
special -school taxes were not levied
for the reason they vwere. " getting
more money from the State I than
they were raising in taxes and claim
ed that if more money was needed
they could get it from the State, and
that at least in one instance there' is
an advertisement at the court house
in one county that advertised the
fact that the State is contributing
double : the amount for schools in
that county than the county itself
was," and; if more money was needed
they could "get It. - .
Would it not be the part of wis
dom to say to these counties ; that
you must first raise sufficient money
in the county to have a four months'
school term and if that Is done the
State will supplement with an.addi-
tioal amount, to . cover two months,
to make a. six. months' school term.
: It Is conceded and acknowledged
iiai ine strong counties must and
schould help the weak ones, but at
the same time the strong counties,
who are enterprising admittedly,
thould not be called upon to cripple
themselves in helping a county that
declines-to help itself,
Centralization of control and funds
should be approached with due cau
tion. The larger counties and cities
are now and have been the forerun
ners of education the State has
only followed. . It is only Just and
equitable that the ' larger ' counties
and cities ; should ' receive due con
sideration. A. contrary action and
any attempt to form or to make
laws that could possibly control or
construct a political machine for. the
perpetuation of any class spells dis
aster. -
Labor desires a just and equitable
laying of taxes and the spending of
same. They are for education first,
last and all the time, but an educa
tion that is not based upon fairness
and justness cannot be an education
that will stand the test of time or
result in the upbuilding and the best
Interests of our people as a whole.
Let us hope that a just and a fair
bill carrying out, the wishes of the
people may be enacted into law.
