The editor lauds Prof. Richeson for seeking 200 qualified signers to put a school tax question to voters but argues the law bars any increase beyond 1.25 dollars, as the current State and County tax is 1.40. Since the levy would not be possible, the county should not spend 500 on an election. The column concludes with reluctant acceptance.
