Amendment No. 12 Indorsed
By Democrats.
The following is the text of
the resolution adopter! by the
Democratic State Convention,
and which was introduced by
Granville Cubage of Conway;
with reference to Amendment
No. 12:
“Whereas, many school dis
tricts of the state are in such
financial straights that they will
soon be compelled to close their
schools and deprive their chil
dren of the advantages of an
education unless some remedy is
found; and,
“Whereas, the only feasable
remedy proposed is that offered
in Amendment No. 12, which
raises the maximum limit of lo
cal school district tax from the
present rate of 7 mills to the
proposed limit of 12 mills; and,
“Whereas, this Amendment
does not fix a tax upon any one,
but simply gives local communi
ties greater liberty in voting up
on themselves a greater or less
tax of any mill rate up to 12
mills, thus enabling local districts
to provide for their own main
tenance as they see fit,
“Therefore, Be it Resolved,
That we give Amendment No. 12,
commonly known as the Educa
tional Amendment, our hearty
; endorsement.”

ty Democrat.
The argument which some
people are advancing against
the proposed educational amend
ment to the Constitution is that
if the school districts were once
given the power to raise the tax
limit to 12 mills they would im
mediately impose that amount.
This theory is untenable, as the
reports show that not even half
of the school districts of Arkan
sas have availed themselves of
the privilege of levying the N7
mill tax. A review of the coun
^ _:_>_j.1_r\_
L,y cAanmicio icpui 10 uu me de
partment of Education for the
year ending June 30, 1915, shows
that the levy in the 3138 districts
reporting, out of the total of
5165 in the state, was as follows:
7 mills, 2172 districts; 6mills, 60;
5 mills, 715; 4 mills, 37; 3 mills,
44; 2 mills, 86; 1 mill, 1. No
millage tax whatever was levied
in 23 districts. The sole object
of Amendment No. 12 is to ena
ble those communities which de
sire to do so to contribute a larg
er amount for school purposes.
