So Who Needs Schools? It appears as if the state legislature, in a big-heart-ed attempt to save the taxpayers of Indiana six dollars per person, will kill Governor Welsh’s recommendation to lower the state gross income tax exemption from 11000 to S6OO. In so doing, the same big-hearted legislature will cost property owners countless millions more, or cost the state of Indiana a lot of intelligence that wilt go to waste because of inadequate schools. There are no two ways about it—schools cost money. And good schools cost more than mediocre ones. There is no such thing as an American public school system. There are 50 school systems in the United States, because the public schools are the responsibility of the state government; not only the creation of those schools, but the financing of them, too. As things are set up right now, taking the recommended amount from the latest state budget submitted by former Governor Handley, it will cost the property owners of Decatur 19 or 20 cents more on their school rate next year because the state will - furnish that much less money. There is little doubt but that the present legislature will raise the amount to be given to schools. But, if this legislature and the one in 1963 keep the state’s share of the school money at the same percentage it was over the last two years, despite the expected rise in state revenues, the average local school rate over the state will have to be increased $2.66 per SIOO of assessed valuation over the next four years to handle the expected increases in enrollment. This does not include, the costs of much needed new buildings in many areas. Governor Welsh put the matter very bluntly when he stated: “It should be obvious that unless the percent of school costs paid by the state now in the budget is increased, local property taxes must inevitably go up. This means that those who contend there should be no increase in state revenue* in order to increase aid to schools, are in fact supporting and making necessary a sharp rise in local property taxes. And these rates are already destructively high.” Hoosiers plan to keep their schools open, and they plan to continue to improve those schools. It will take considerable money to do it. If the money does not come from the state, with all taxpayers contributing their share to education, then it must come from local taxation, with the property owners carrying the load. Governor Welsh presented the general assembly with a concrete financial recommendation. How they play politics with it is out of his hands. At least he has done his utmost to help develop Indiana schools.
