proposition 14 would affect taxation and financing of public education and social welfare services In California. It weald require that

education in California: a hug. deficit would be created by wiping oat
local sources of funding tor education.Theoretically,anew book* of
fund* would be created by an ad valorem .al*. tax Increase.
According to economic and political expert., the proposed 40 per
cent sal*, tax Increase (from flv. cent, to seven cent.) would fall far
short of replacing the tost property tax revenue. One Immediate revolt would be lhat California'* community; college system, which enroll* 850,000 (tudent* annually, would teller a $««•"■ million cut In

Jack R*e», Executive Director of theCailfomliTeaehera Allocution, summed up hi* group's reaction to to* proposed amendment:
"It's Ironic,' RMS said, •that if Proposition 14 passe., school* will

Thar* I* a chill leaping deeply and damply Into th* heart and backbone or America. No longer can thl* nation cry over Its own inhumanity. No longer can thl* nation courageously admit It has been wrong.
There Is no longer, warmth in America, Just a cold and calculating
acceptance ol lta own vtclousnBBS Sad cowardice. Aa acceptance of
It* own blind self-rlghteouene...
It* own blind s*lf-rtght*ou*ne*s.
Richard Nixon will probably be re-elected president of the United

That is really too bad. For January 20, 1073 could hav* been the

Becau.e ihe President haa said over and over again that we won't

Either that or the President has lied andw* will abandon Thleu after

Th* picture of America has changed. No longer ta there thl. quaint

There' It a great deal of talk about the UndsUde In which Richard

It will be a mudillde of deceit, corruption, and undelivered peace.
It Is not George MeSovern who will be buried to that toudsllde. It
