Harnessing Banking
To Farming
Our idea of farming and banking is of a
team — pulling together.
The financial side 'of faiming is important.
Good management in money matters is as
essential as good crops in promoting agricultural prosperity.
We are trying to do our part by devoting
our facilities and our efforts wholeheartedly
to the service 'of the farmers of this section.

"The notion that scnools should
get along; with what's. left after
other "branches of state governient
are financed, again emphasizes the
need for some plan for revenue for
schools ibased upon the fac.ts concerning their actual needs, .said Earl
H. Babcock, superintendent of Grand
Haven public schools and president
of the Michigan 3Education Association, when interviewed concerning
the State   school aid  problem-
The Michigan Education Association includes in its membership a3p-
proximately 34,000 members of _ the
teaching profession, and also represents a number of departments or
affiliated groups interested in public
education.
"The schools urge that intelligent
•inquiry be made concerning the curtailments "that schools afre'ady "have
suffered during the past few years,
and that -comparisons be made with
the increased*! costs'of -other■'■ branches of the state government, some of
which are new or experimental,"
said  Supt. Babcock.
"The fact that approximately half
the money for school support is-collected, by the state has created-the
mistaken notion that schools are
costing more money than in earlier
years. Actually, schools during the
past year (1938) will receive $14,-
800,000 less than in 1930-31, and yet
they have 25,000 more pupils than
in 1930-31.
"Schools would have been helped,
considerably by the increase in the
Primary School Interest 3Fund this
present year, 3had it not been for the
fact that Governor Murphy cut
$9,000,000 from the legislature's
appropriation for the State-aid 3Fund
for schools. This reduction not only
crippled   the   schools;  it  also  threw

$45 000,000 would be guaranteed the
schools by the state. These interests present the theory that the way
to balance the budget is to take
care of sate employees* payrolls and
all other state expenditures first, and
let the schools struggle along with
what's   left.
"We must face squarely this question: 'Are free public schools essential to Michigan and to our ideals
of democracy?' If so, the state cannot turn back to the community the
bulk of the responsibility of school
support because the state has limited the amount that the local dis-
trict can raise. _     •
"There are .two methods of oai-
^ancing the budget that would be.fair
and practical. One method, as one
does in his own personal affairs, is
to list all the essential items in a
budget, compare them with the m-
eome,and then reduce proportionately the items ins the budget, if revenue
is insufficient. Schools have taken
the brunt of previous reductions, but
still are willing to take the same
percentage of cut as other state
iervicesi In such mstiinces, however the needs of schools, should be
■=et at . $47,000,000, which is the
amount needed in order td provide
the minimum program of education
as set up by the present law     _
"Another method; of budget balancing is to estimate reasonable
costs for necessary services, and
then provide  sufficient revenue.   ;
'^Schools have recommended, again
and again that the state government make inquiry into its owu
governmental costs with a view to
reorganization for purposes of economy and efficiency.. ,It is.quite prpb-
aible-that economies here and. there
would enable the state to. balance
its budget for the next two years
without penalizing IMJchigan's million children in public schools.
"The state cannot Wope to maintain its present patchwork system
of taxation and at the same time
reduce the so-called $31,000^)00
deficit, unless it plans to destroy
completely the effective service of
public education. Schools have al-
reafly assumed more than ttieir
share of this deficit. The total
deficit would have been 340,000.000
instead of 531,000,000, but $9,000-
000 was taken from the State-atd
3Fund last year and indirectly diverted to welfare. It seems that every
year there is some excuse for playing1 politics -with school funds. 3Dur-
ing the past two years it was welfare, now it's -ibalancing the budget!'
What will the next excuse be?"
