Show tAGE Threat To School Funds BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1933 SEC f Says State Superintendent In a formal statement July 20th, directed to the Public Utilities Commission, State Superintendent Charles H. Skidmore says, regarding the relationship between taxes from railroads and the public schools: "There h an intimate relationship between public carriers and the schools for the simple reason that railroads are among the largest taxpayers in the state and are not found among the delinquents. In many counties the railroads are the largest taxpayers and from whom the schools derive substantial revalues. It is my contention that nothing should be dona by the Public Utilities Commission that would make it difficult for the railroads to operate successfully by encouraging competition unless the competing lines of transstandportation are put on the same basis from a account taxes of cannot on their the railroads If pay point. having their business taken away from them by competitors, there are only two courses open; one to shift the burden to other forms of tangible property, such as farms, realestate, homes, etc. (which I consider unthinkable), or reduce our present wonderful system of education to mere shambles." Superintendent Skidmore urges the Public Utilities Commission to follow the following procedure on all applications made by carriers for swtificate of convenience and necessity: "1. That the Utilities Commission first make a survey cf the state by counties or districts to determine to what a RIVERSIDE (DAIEIAGIEAP IS Mrs. r Reading Time : 3 minutes, 10 seconds J were-Sunda- J.

That in case of any proved inadequacy, that the present carriers be given the first opportunity to aupply that need before permitting substitute or competing transportation agencies to operate. 8. That no carrier be permitted to operate in this state unless it has first proved to the complete satisfaction of the Utilities Commission that it is of sound financial ' ' ' standing, able to carry out the mandates of the law respecting the payment of taxes imposed upon them. 4. That where any doubt exists as to the financial standing of any applicant, adequate bonds be required that will guarantee the payment of all their obligations in connection with their operations in this state. I. That whatever tax is imposed upon the carriers that are to substitute or replace the railroads be made equal to the taxes now borne by the railroads. f. That the administration of the law dealing with the collection of these taxes be so rigid and alert that no delinquency will be permitted. 7. That in case any carrier fails to pay its taxes, licenses, fees, etc., in compliance with law, its franchise to operate will be immediately withdrawn." This, in the opinion of Superintendent Skidmore, would eliminate the. and irresponsible concerns who came into the state, take away the patronage from existing reliable taxpaying interests, an l pay little to the public treasury. In his communication to the Public Utilities Commission Superintendent Skidmore also directs attention to the fact that taxpayers' money constructs and maintains the highways which are used by these commercial carriers practically free of charge. These carriers u?e the highways, disintegrate them and practically monopolize them, without paying adequately for this service, which the taxpayers furnish to tax-payi- ng wv ?Sj j AMONG THE WONDERS being an arveaiea at in -- worio'i nir" ray of revolutionary indoor wtathar making products which will enable man. kind to enjoy ideal Indoor weather of outiida temperature and humidity.

Says Mr. Skidmore: "I hold no brief for the railroads, but inasmuch as the revenues from that source will affect vitally the moneys which come to the public schools, I feel it incumbent upon me to direct attention to this situation." Attention is called to a situation in Kansas where railroads have for the first time in their history defaulted in paying taxes, with the result that they are threatened with closing schools in that state. Impressive statistics were presented by the Superintendent to sho the difference between the taxes charged in 1932 against the railroads and against other forms of transportation in several counties of the tate, to show what would happen if revenue from the railroads should fail and the schools be obliged to place dependence upon revenue from other sources.
