STATE SHOULD PAY HORE, HOLMES SAYS _ Continued From Third Page). of ‘this country, as well as through- out BEurope, -property has therefore supplanted by earnings, profits and incomes as the test of taxable abflity. This means practically the development on the one hand of the personal income tax, and, on the other hand, of the business tax, to in- clude not only corporations but other businesses. In this way, only can we tap the Increasing wealth of the com- munity and make wealth bear its proper share of the obligation to sup- port the schools, *‘Hand in hand with this, however, must. go a redistribution cither of ed- ucational functions or educational revenues. New state-wide income taxes, or business taxes must be ap- portioned to the localities, not simply according to population or wealth, but according to educational needs. With this reform at both ends of the pro- cens, the schools will be able to get §/their share of the increasing wealth of modern sociely.’ “Professor Robert M. Haig, of the/ department of business organization, Columbia university, recent address delivered in Cleveland: “‘I should l'ke to commend to your earnest consideration and pos- sible support the program of the National Tax Association. The plan calls for the abandonment of the at- tempt to tax intangible personal property under the general property tax. It suggests supplementing the tax on tangible property with state- wide levies on personal and business incomes along the general lines worked out in the tax systems of 'New York, Massachusetts and Wis- consin. There is general agreement among those who have given thought to the problem that this program of- fers the next logical step in tax re- form In most of our states. again Professor [Iletcher Harper Swift, of the University of Minne- sota presents the following views in a bulletin recently issued by the de- partment of the interior. He says: ** ‘It has been shown— “‘I, That the increasing numbers demanding educatior, and the in- creasing 'demands put upon the schools have led to enormous in- creases in expenditures. ‘2, That there is every reason to believe that these expenditures will continue to .increase rather than to decrease. 2. ‘3. That the states have insisted k\\v\ore and more upon the recognition ©r Xje principle that schools are state, | not™, xcal institutions. ‘4, That in direct violation of the principle, they have shelved more and more the burdea of school sup- port and placed steadily proportion of the same upon school units. ‘5. That as a rewult of this pol- ley the schools have continued to be fundamentally and in fact local, not state, -institutions. . That ecducational opportuni- tles in the United States are not and never have been universal, demo- cratic, free, *47. That inequalittes, flagrant and \} periaps ominous for the nation exist in every state. “*8. That as long as the schools | continue to be financially dependent upon local revenues, so long will these inequalities continue. *'9, That to eliminate these in- equalities vastly increased revenues must be provided. “‘10. That this increase in reve- sald this in a And | increasing | local | Ireland presents Miss Clodagh Leigh White, shown above, as the Emerald Isle’s most beautiful maiden.

By this means it s probable that many of the inequali- ties of school support and school op- portunities would be wiped out, but the solution would seem both partial and unfair if the proposed state tax were assessed upon general property alone. Redistribute the Load. “8o far as Connecticut is concern- ed, I believe these things may be clearly seen: “1. There is need for a redistribu- tion of the load of school expenses. The state should assume a much larg- er share of the burden, probably nearly if not quite one half of the en- tire cost of schools. 2. How the necessary funds should be raised by the state is a problem in public finance for which I do not pre- sume to offer a solution. It is clear, however, that all of the wealth of the state should bear the burdens equally and that none should escape as much lof it is now escaping. ‘3. That this question is of vital importance from the standpoint of both the school administrator and the taxpayer, and should have the careful consideration of all who have any re- lationship to the questions of public revenues and school expenditures. ‘4. That changes such as have been suggested will eventually be made, but that they will meet with strong op- position from (a) those who insist upon ‘“regarding, directing and financ- ing the schools as local institutions,” (b). those who believe that even a partial measure of state support will be fatal to local interest and support for the public schools (c) that ever present group who blindly but con- sistently resist every proposal for the reform of present methods of taxa- tion because they fear they will be called upon to make a fairer and more just contribution in the form of state taxation, for public needs. “Connecticut towns and cities will be fortunate indeed when some mem- ber or group of members of the gen- eral assembly has the conviction and the courage necessary to raise the question of tax reform as related to school support, and to keep it before the public until such a solution is reached as will be equitable and BOSTON STORE DONNELLY, MULLEN CO.
