J. L OLIVER’S SON
What Those Say Who Have
Tried Local School Tax
“Crisp County adopted the coun
ty unit tax system in March, 1908,
by a vote of seven or eight to one,
with only 33 votes against it, and
if there is a dissatisfied voter in the
county I do not know it. After
fivfe years’ successful operation un
der this system 1 doubt if you
would find a reasonable man who
would favor going back to the old
system.
Our tax rates has always been
two mills. Wo arc just one year
ahead in finances and this makes
us independent of the State’s being
a year behind. The white teach
ers received during 1912 just three
times the salary received under the
old system in 1900, and ten thous
and dollars of- School property has
been added during the time. The
colored teachers get increased pay
equal to the taxes they pay by rea
son of the county system, which is
that much additional help to them.
They are satisfied with this and
little monthly fees they pay. No
whites need fear the colored
schools.
We operated in this county, seven
district systems for one year. All
are as well off under the county
unit system, and those without rail
road values get more money at two
mills than the district system sup
plied at five mills. Certainly a
rural district without railroad
values should favor the county unit
system tp a man, and every other
district should so favor for the com
mon good of the county.
The district system is a nuisance
as compared with the county unit
system.
J. W. Bivins,
Superintendent Crisp County”
“This county has been under the
unit system for seven years. The
rate of taxation is four dollars per
thousand. The board pays for
everything connected with the ope
ration of the schools. The appro
priation, or strictly speaking, salary
of each school depends on the fit
ness and capacity of the teacher
and the number of grades. There
is no reason for friction between
town and county schools, and the
tendency; hr towards more friendly
relations. One of the many rea
sons that might be advanced is that
it gives to every child the rather
pleasing knowledge that his school

furthering of that spirit of equality,
the country pupils here often con
test with those of the city school,
and very successfully, too in grade
work and in propositions from the
high school branches.
The country school is helped
more than the town school by tax
ation, because the city is best able
to care for itsOlf; but the ideal sys
tem is the 'county unit’-r-the
amalgamation of both.

Superintendent Monroe County.”
Our first tax was levied in the
really began January l, 1912. We
levy two mills. We have no inde
pendent districts in thq county (ex
cept the town of Jesup, a local sys
tem). Tuition is absolutely free.
One of the main arguments
against local taxation here was that
each parent is responsible for the
education of his own children. We
argued and proved that education
is a public business.
By all means get local taxation
as a county unit if possibe.
