OH* • B**k for Victory!
The Graham Daily Reporter, Wednesday, April 1,
Boy Defense Bonds and Stats *•
amounted to $170.33 per pupil in
attendance. They had an aver-
ace school term of 184 days and
school property worth $411 per
pupil in attendance. *
On the other hand the people of
Mississippi in 1928 paid a federal
tax bill of $15,216,000, raised $57,-
419,000 state and local taxes, and
spent $18,163,000 for public
schools. For schools the total exp-
eenditure amounted to $42.46 per
pupil in attendance. They had an
average school term of 139 days
and school property worth $93.60
per pupil in attendance.
By 1936 in New Pork the fed-
eral taxes, state and local taxes
and expenditure for public schools
had each remained about the same
as in 1928. In Mississippi the
federal tax bill had nearly dou-
bled, state and local taxes had
dropped nearly 20 per cent and
school ‘'expenditures had dropped
over 11 per cent.
In short, as federal taxes in-
crease the burden falls heavier
and heavier on the poorer states.
From 1928 to 1937 (the last year
for which analysis has been made)
federal taxes increased in the fol-
lowing percentages: richest 12
states, 35.61 per cent; second 12
states, 45.65 per cent; third 12
states, 75.93 per cent; poorest 12
states (all south and southwest)
85.79 per'cent; poorest six states,
97.32 per cent.
Federal taxes are again on the
rise. As they increase, more and
■ore they will apply to lower in-
come groups and consist of sales
taxes of various types which in-
variably strike the poor harder
than the rich. The inevitable re-
salt will be to make it more dif-
ficult and burdensome to raise
additional state and local reve-
nues. Schools wil lbe the out-
standing victim of this situation.
Differences, measured financially
between schools in rich and poor
states will become greater as time
goes on. The south, the greatest
source o fthe. nation’s population
production, will more and more
produce the future population for
herself and other sections under
conditions -relatively more and
more unfavorable with respect to
education.
Federal aid to the states, cer-
tainly for the poorer ones, is be-
yond doubt the sane and equitable
remedy for this situation.
Soldiers Can 8ell Cars
Automobile “freeze” regulations
have been modified to permit men
in the armed services, or who have
received induction orders, to dis-
pose of their cars, according to
advice received by the Dallas re-
gion office of the Office of Price
Administration.
According to this amendment to
the auto rationing order, on or be-
fore March 9, any person serving
or called for active duty with any
branch of the armed service, or
who has received orders for induc-
tion into service, or who has vol-
unteered and taken oath of serv-
ice, may apply to his local ration-
ing board and obtain permission
to transfer an automobile to any
designated person. ... . —
Such applications must be cor-
roborated by a written statement
from an authorized officer of the
armed forces or by a member of
the selective service board having
jurisdiction over the person who
seeks to transfer the car.
Auto Inventory Time Extended
Extension from Feb. 19 to Feb.
25 of the time for automobile deal-
ers, distributors, finance compa-
nies ahd manufacturers to file in-
ventory information on all new
passenger cars, light, medium ana
heavy trucks and trailers has been
announced by Max L. McCullough,
region director for the Office of
Price Administration in Dallas.
The inventory is designed to
show the exact number of new
motor vehicles which will be avail-
able for rationing, as of Feb. 11.
It also will provide a record of the
make, year, model, serial number,
motor number and body type of
each such car in stock, as well as
the geographical distribution of
the supply.
Price Administrator Leon Hen-
derson has issued regulations un-i
der which approximately 840,000'
new 1942 passenger automobiles.
now in the hands' of dealers and!
manufacturers—more than 78 per
cent of the total available supply
—will be rationed to essential us-
ers during the next 12 months.
These regulations go into effect
on March 2. On and after that
date, applications for the purchase
of new cars will be received by
local rationing boards from per-
sons on the eligibility list.
Originally, it had. been planned
to begin the rationing on Febru-
ary 26; but a modification iFriday
of the OPA order affecting the
release of cars purchased but not
delivered before January 1 grant-
ed a four-day extension. This
was considered advisable, so the
rationing boards c|Duld clear the
additional applications for such
pre-freeze purchases.
Between March 2 and May 31,
the-Administrator disclosed, about'
140,000 new cars will be made
available for sale to eligible civil-
ian buyers against certaificates is-
sued by local rationing boards, and
to various federal, state and local
agencies. This number will be
increased further by sales to the
armed forces and certain other
federal- agencies connected direct-
ly with prosecution of the war.
