State Solons Consider Variety of Measures during Legislative Recess SACRAMENTO (CNS)—As the first half of the 1953 legislative session draws to a close (it's slated to end at 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17) the issues outlined in previous "Affairs of State" stories have been joined. They are ready for consideration of the legislators during the constitutional recess. New Bill Would Hold Education Funds to $180 Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO—A bill effecting allocation of state funds to school districts, and carrying out the purposes of Proposition No. 2, voted by the people in November, was introduced in the legislature today. The measure, sponsored by the state department of education, is authorized by Assemblyman Francis Dunn. Oakland, former chairman of the assembly education committee. Dunn has been succeeded by John Collier, Los Angeles. Under terms of the bill, the additional amount voted by the people, bringing the state's program to $180 per pupil per average daily attendance, will be kept within the $180. Estimates of the department bring the total income this year to approximately $67,-000,000. The department said amounts previously granted above the old $120 rate, for transportation aid, and for the reaction of the public, which in the long run is most concerned, as it must foot the bill. Bigger and better taxes appear to be the motif for the 1953 session. Measures ranging from a cent to a cent and a half increase in the gas tax are before the solons, and providing for increases of other motor vehicle taxes as well. The session may well wind up with the highway issue as its major accomplishment, or its major flub, depending for the most part on the pressure exerted by the public and the lobbies, and the reconciliation of divergent views on the state's highway needs. Already, questions are being asked as to whether the proposed highway program is "gold-plated," and whether the need is actually as great as numerous surveys have shown it to be. Generally, the division of highways, and private concerns, have come up with a billion dollar deficiency, which the proposed gas tax, and proposed bond issues, are designed to correct in approximately ten years. Governor Earl Warren's $1,-326,851,805 record-breaking state budget, coupled with his request for new taxes, stands as the second big issue of the 1953 session. Here again, there will be some bitter bickering before June 16, the date on which Speaker Pro Tem Harold Powers of the senate announced he hopes the legislation will adjourn sine die. Some legislators have expressed themselves as being "rather tired of being asked to tax sin to pay for education," referring to the governor's request for taxes on cigarettes, liquor, beer and the man of the assembly education committee. Dunn has been succeeded by John Collier, Los Angeles. Under terms of the bill, the additional amount voted by the people, bringing the state's program to $180 per pupil per average daily attendance, will be kept within the $180. Estimates of the department bring the total income this year to approximately $67,000,000. The department said amounts previously granted above the old $120 rate, for transportation aid, education of physically handicapped and mentally retarded pupils, and growth apportionment, are deducted from the new maximum for separate apportionment. "Also," the department said, "amounts for equalization aid, largely for elementary schools, previously provided by the legislature, are deducted from total state funds, and continued as equalization aid for the purpose for which they are now used." Representatives of the California Teachers Association said the bill carries out the intent of the constitutional amendment, held it will improve equalization aid throughout the state, and also follows the Association's contention during the campaign for added funds that it would not recommend appropriations over and above the $180 for equalization. Some legislators have expressed themselves as being "rather tired of being asked to tax sin to pay for education," referring to the governor's request for taxes on cigarettes, liquor, beer and the race tracks. Others, thinking in financially different terms than does the administration, feel surplus hoarding isn't a good method of financing state government, and plan to seek use of one or more surplus funds, particularly the $75 million "rainy day" fund, to make up what Warren anticipates would be a deficit during the forthcoming fiscal year in view of the additional costs for the state's educational program. Still others plan to go along with the governor, force through the new taxes if possible, and fix the blame for them on the people while it's still possible to lodge the blame someplace. For no legislator wants to go home with a record of having increased taxes, without a sound excuse for the increase. Such a record would mean too much in the next election. The third threat comes from the move to consolidate city sales tax collections with the state sales tax, and revert an extra cent to the cities and counties of California. For the majority of the population, this wouldn't amount to much, as a great portion of California cities have sales taxes already, which would be wiped out under a consolidation. The issue, however, is one which stands to be hotly debated. And to these big issues a multitude of smaller matter which are no less important to the people who propound them, and it can be seen readily that there are few days of serenity ahead for the state's senators and assemblymen. Committee Says No Additional Sales Levy SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15 (P) — The senate committee on state and local taxation today recommended against an addition to the 3 percent sales tax which would be allocated to cities and counties. Such legislation has been talked about as a means of making the man of the assembly education committee. Dunn has been succeeded by John Collier, Los Angeles. Under terms of the bill, the additional amount voted by the people, bringing the state's program to $180 per pupil per average daily attendance, will be kept within the $180. Estimates of the department bring the total income this year to approximately $67,000,000. The department said amounts previously granted above the old $120 rate, for transportation aid, education of physically handicapped and mentally retarded pupils, and growth apportionment, are deducted from the new maximum for separate apportionment. "Also," the department said, "amounts for equalization aid, largely for elementary schools, previously provided by the legislature, are deducted from total state funds, and continued as equalization aid for the purpose for which they are now used." Representatives of the California Teachers Association said the bill carries out the intent of the constitutional amendment, held it will improve equalization aid throughout the state, and also follows the Association'a contention during the campaign for added funds that it would not recommend appropriations over and above the $180 for equalization.

Katella School Awards Oil Lease Bids were opened for sub surface oil and gas rights on the Katella school property this week. Since there was only one bid, the lease was awarded to Loren L.

The plans had been approved by the Division of School Planning and the Division of Architecture. The plans were approved and adopted by the Board and it was decided to advertise for bids. The date established for the opening of bids was Feb. 5, at 6 p.m. No Additional Sales Levy SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15 UP — The senate committee on state and local taxation today recommended against an addition to the 3 percent sales tax which would be allocated to cities and counties. Such legislation has been talked about as a means of making the sales tax uniform throughout the state and giving the counties an additional source of revenue. About half the state's incorporated cities now levy sales tax of 1 per cent or less on top of the state tax. Counties are not empowered to levy sales taxes. The study committee headed by Sen. Ben Hulse (R-E) Centro, held that the proposed legislation would raise the sales tax rate for the benefit of all cities and counties regardless of their need for the additional money at a time when the tax may have to be upgraded any way to meet rising state expenditures. The committee urged in a report that counties be permitted to diversify their tax bases to relieve property taxpayers who now carry the whole burden. If the counties are given the authority to levy sales taxes, the committee said, the legislature should require that the taxing ordinances be uniform and permit only the exemptions allowed by the state. The committee, however, recommended that since sales taxes are sensitive to the ups and downs of the economy, counties and cities should give more serious attention to study the problems of the administration of the sales tax. The committee expressed the view that cities subject to the legislature should be required to enact uniform sales tax ordinances and that cities with charters be encouraged to do so.
