ent Dana Williams was printed in thia column In this inter-
view Mr Williams gave the reasons and plans for the proposed
new buildings in our schools and the reason for the proposed
increase in the tax rate An interview was planned with
Mr K W ‘Dick" Burnett, who iaseeking election to the school
board However. Mr. Burnett has nad to be out of town and
an interview is impossible so we had asked Mr. Burnett to
reply by letter and today his letter is being printed so that
voters mav have a chance to know both sides of this question.
Professor Williams, the Superintendent of our public
schools, has sought through this column to influence the tax-

vote to increase the ad valorem tax rate to the constitutional
limit of $1.50.
•Notwithstanding the Profe*aor's glowing report of the
New Deal objectives to be accomplished, the proponents' own
analysis of the proposal involves a “package plan" in which
the voter is given no choice of approving the improvement!
which he believes to be necessary and of disapproving those
he telieves to be unnecessary and inadvisable at this time,
he must take all or none. The proposal, in and of itself, de-
stroys the right of the voter to choose between the good and
the bad In short, this "package plan" runs counter to our con-
ception of a free ballot where men may express their con-
victions or differences of opinion without restraint or influ-
ence of any kind, directly or indirectly, bearing upon the in-
volved issue or issues.
"The proponents of this "package plan" have been good
enough to publicize an information sheet showing that out of
this tremendous sum of money it is proposed to construct a
building for the elementary school at an estimated cost of
$530,000.00, a building for the Weldon colored school, at an
estimated cost of $237.000 00. a high school gymnasium, at an
estimated cost of $170,000.00, a fine arts building, at an esti-
mated cost of $45,000.00. stadium dressing rooms, at an esti-

Sh# was a young mother, and

voting upon the issuance of school, municipal and other bonds
to give the voter the right to determine whether or not he is
for or against the issuance of bonds for a specific purpose.
Here, however, we have one bond issue for tne issuance and
sale of bonds and the acquisition of a fund not to be used for
one specific purpose, but to be used for six distinct purposes.
Thus a voter who is in favor of restoring the Weldon colored
school, but is against the construction of the elementary school
building, or vice versa, is deprived of his freedom of choice
and a free ballot.
"Irrespective of the legality of the ballot, could there be
any other than an ulterior motive in submitting this "pack-
age plan," instead of submitting each issue separately?
"According to the Professor and the proponents of the
"package plan?’ nobody is going to be seriously hurt, and to
illustrate the point, it is stated that the $10.00 per year tax-
payer will only have to oav over a period of the next ten years
an additional tax of $2.00 per year. No doubt the Professor
is thoroughly grounded In mathematics atnd thoroughly cap-
able. if he should elect to calculate interest on $1,150,000.00.
and the facts are that in order to pay the interest on this pro-
posed bond issue and to create the proper sinking fund to re-
tire them at the end of ten years, it will be necessary to levy
upon and collect an ad valorem tax from the property owners
in said district for said period in a sum approximating il.-
600.000 00. the exact amount depending upon the rate of in-
terest which the bonds bear. Tax revenue received from th*
$2.00 pier year man over said period is not going to make much
of a dent in paving the interest and retiring these bonds af
maturity.
“According to the Board of Trustees and the Professor
the proponed bond issue will in no way jeopardize the fir
ancial position of the school either during or after the ter
year period. This conclusion, according to these gentlemen, i
based upon the fallacious argument that there will be ver
little change in the valuation of the oil producing propertie
within the district in the next ten years. That in the preser
year the district will lose only $406,000.00 in oil values. Eve
so, the loss of these values in this year is a loss of $6.000 00 it
tax revenue, and every informed voter well knows that the oi
producing properties in this district are rapidly reaching th
end of production, and that each well is materially depr<
ciating in value from year to year, and that the value of the.
producing properties in 1953 is Jess than it was in 1952, an
that their value will be materially less in 1954 than it is i
1953 Who, then, is going to bear the burden of this loss of ta
revenue? There is but one answer. It, of necessity, must b
absoibed by the home owners, businessmen and other tax
paying property owners within the district.
"These bonds will be secured by a first and paramoun
lien upon every piece of property within the district subjec
to taxation, real and (>ersonal, and when loss of revenue fror
oil-bearing properties occurs, as it surely will, then the taxin
authority will say "I am sorry, but it*is my sworn duty t<
levy a tux sufficient to pay the interest on and retire the*'
bonds at maturity date, and I am sorry, but there is no othe
way out than to raise both values and the tax rate to tht
constitutional limit.
"The facts are that there never was a more inopportune
time to vote construction and improvement bonds than a
the present. Cost of labor and material is exorbitant. Jn th*
view oi most people the spiral of inflation is turning down
ward, and it is the consensus that cost of construction of im *
provements oi th*- kind here involved will decrease fron
twenty-five to forW per cent in the next two or three years
"Il for some tinknown reason this bond issue shouk
carry, it is sincerely hoped that the powers that be will fine
some way in which to save or set aside out of this $1,150,000.0'
sufficient money with which to purchase fire insurance cov-
erage on school properties in excess of ten per cent of theii
value "
