Show 'mr r' J Gem State Educators Look to Legislature o The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, May 24, 1964 . . Idaho School Funds Question Hinges on Sales Tax Okeh By Ken Robison , 1 going up. The Idaho Education Assn, has been outspoken in calling for more money but its leaders have encouraged a moderate course. Associated Press Writer The question of whether BOISE Tfay teachers will ever follow the example of their Utah neighbors and stay out of classrooms in an effort to get more money is tightly bound to the question of a sales tax. IF protest recess fails to win money for schools, it will discourage thoughts of similar action in Idaho. Even if there is no sales tax in 1965, many leaders might counsel moderation in the belief that talk of strikes would tend THE-UTA- IF TOE 196 Legislature for political reasons as Gov. Robert E. Smylie predicts. or other reasons fails to pace sales tax. Idaho educators could become more militant Without a sales tax there is little prospect of any substantial increase in state support of schools. to turn the public against the educators. THERE WAS A widespread feeling among educators after the 1963 Legislature, that they had failed to reach the public, that people generally werent aware of and didn't care about school money prob-Ion- THE EDUCATORS would be given a , choice of continuing their campaign to sell the public on the need for more money, or with' considering use of boycotts or strikes to dramatize their position. Although Idaho still ranks near the bottom nationally, teacher salaries have been f .x There seems to be more public awareness now partly the result of campaigns in 27 school districts for tax levy increases and partly the result of increased property taxes for schools resulting from a cutback in state funds. - -c IEAs safety pin" symbol its position. THE unreasonably high. million dollars includes 46 million for public schools and another 31 million dollars for higher education. The 46 million dollars would increase the proportion of state support only slgihtly. This falls elections should bring many new faces to the Legislature, particularly in the House. Among the legislative candidates there seems to be a growing reception to a sales tax, based on statements of some past opponents. . THE VOICES of educators aren't only ones speaking for a sales tax. Idahoans are being Told repeatedly that the states tax structure discourages industry from entering the state and should be overhauled, with a sales tax added to take some of the sting out of income, property and inventory taxes and reach people who escape those levies. THE IDAHO Citizens for Tax Reform reports encouraging reaction to its campaign to sell a sales tax. The campaign so far has reached 25 of the 44 counties. gavj ItsHmessage-Is5tmpleTstate- ment services are growing at a fixed rate biennial budget that should bring the 1965-6to 120 million dollars, or 18 million dollars more than the current one. They can be paid for by increasing property or income taxes, or turning to a sales tax. Income and, property taxes are said to be already 7 THAT 121 it is simply a Legislature that includes a number of men who want to for governor tn 1966 wflTnoTpassafsales' tax. George Crookham of Caldwell, a sales tax backer in the 1961 session, ran poorly in a primary campaign against Gov. Smylie GOV.

Speaker: Special to The Tribune At the BURLEY, IDAHO moment, the country is living under a fear and mistrust of what has been called the "military-industrial alliance, A. H. Duda Jr.--, Washington, D.C., organization director, Air Force Assn., told the annual meeting of the Idaho wing here Saturday afternoon. THE PUBLIC has created a bogeyman, composed of the individuals who wear the uniform of military service and those who comprise the defense industry," he said. To a great extent, the term itself is misunderstood. Because such large sums are involved in defense spending, it is difficult for an ordinary American to C21 Y. to Attract Thousands A SALES TAX should pass the House with ease, but most of the senators who voted against it last time are expected to return. Fol- - The Senates two top 1963 leaders. President Pro tem Jack Murphy of Shoshone, a Republican, and Democratic leader William Dee of Grangeville are sales tax foes. Mr. Dee is expected to renew the economy campaign many believe will be used as an issue in a 1966 bid for the governorship. Mr. Murphy tends to be for smaller budgets. THE COMBINATION of Dees economy bloc, including nearly all the northern senators, and border, county and economy- minded Republicansjvjll be hard for the salesTajThackers to overcome. It may be a question of how much a sales House can sway a reluctant Senate. Failure to pass a sales tax would stir strong feeling among educators. Passage of a sales tax without increasing the state's share of public school support would bring even stronger feelings. , Week By Associated Press PROVO Thousands of visitors are expected to converge on Brigham Young University campus to attend a four-da- y Education Week, beginning June 8.
