unty and school taxes, which
make up the heaviest load he
must carry. As the schoolmen
sensibly have been pointing out,
such a limitation—by shifting the
burden from the State back to
the communities—might increase
local taxes.
In a recent address at Austin,
Dr. B. F. Pittenger, dean of the
University of Texas School of
Education, showed how such an
effect might ensue. He cited an
estimate by the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction
that the tax-limit proposed would
force, down the State school ap-
portionment from the present
$16.50 to $8.50 or $9 per capita.
Rural school aid must be reduced
proportionately. With the State
fund virtually cut in half, 4the
school districts must curtail the
terms and cut teachers' pay still
further, or make up the differ-
ence by local taxation.
Fiscal expects' calculations that
the amendment would reduce the
State revenues by 20 million dol-
lars a. year, on the average, raise
that prospect.
Furthermore—as Dean Pitten-
ger pointed out—the amendment
proposal is unfortunately timed.
More taxes are delinquent In
Texas than ever before; the re-
venue-yield from business and
industry has been at low ebb for
some years past and began pick-
ing up only lately. As tax-collec-
tions for such a period as the
basis of a limit to apply perma-
nently, is obviously unsound
policy. Public needs must grow
with the population. Too, the
value of the 'dollar fluctuates.
Therefore, the Legislature
should be left free to adapt Its
'iflscal policy to changing times.
Moreover, in the years just ahead
the State must meet usual obli-
gations. It must retire 20 million
dollars In emergency relief bonds
>a.nd 100 millions in county road
bonds taken over three years ago.
The lawmakers are being called
upon to vote 5 million dollars for
the Centennial celebration in
1936.
Such considerations led the
Democratic State Convention at
Galveston last month to "recom-
mend to the people that the am-
endment be defeated." The opin-
ions and facts cited should con-
vince the citizen that his own
Interests demand that he vote
"No" on this proposal.
