Biennial report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, state of Montana . first and second class are none in which special levies are lower than 5 mills, but them pay a special school tax of over 25 mills. Certainly no one can argue honestly that the present enormousspecial levies in hundreds of school districts should continue. Neithercan a fair minded person maintain that children should continue to beneglected as they are now being neglected. Nor can any one maintainthat the high special levies indicate extravagance. The lack of fundsin many of the districts with the highest levies precludes any pos-sibility of extravagance and only indicates the faith of a communityin the value of education and their determination to give opportunitiesto their children even at great personal sacrifice. A solution must besought which will provide revenues from larger units of taxation andwhich will relieve the unreasonable load now being carried by someschool districts in practically every county in the state.
