Equal Taxation Reform Urged Over State School Funds
Gus Reininger of the Texas League for Equal and Uniform Taxation charges inequities in state school aid. He cites 1929- era figures showing seven counties with 45485 public school attendees received 246963, while 13 rural counties with 48821 attendees got only 31639 from the state aid fund, including Bexar. He notes that a 75 cent tax levy on property blocks aid for high-assessment counties. The League seeks fund equalization and an annual 25 cent per 630 valuation cap with no county receiving more than 425,000 in a year.
