The study reported that current­ ly there are two applicants for each teaching job nationwide In 1977, more than 164,000 new graduates were competing for only 85.000 teaching positions The previous year, 185,000 graduates vied for 94.000 slots, according to the Association report. In addition, 1977 was the fif­ tieth straight year that the num­ ber of teaching graduates from the nation's colleges declined Editor's Quote Book • As soon as preoc-" c u p a t i o n w i t h security begins to dominate human life, the scope of human life itself tends to be diminished. Gareiwl Marcel Statewide hearings to obtain public testimony on the property tax system are being conducted this month in Chicago, Belleville, Rockford and Peoria by the Governor's Advisory Commission on Taxes. The four public hearings were announced Wednesday by Commission Chairman Alan S. Ganz, Chicago. "The meetings are aimed at providing a forum for both private citizens and local government officials to express their views on the property tax system." Ganz said Municipal, county and other local government represen­ tatives, as well as private citizens, will comment on limiting state and local taxes and spending, equitable ad­ ministration of the property tax and ways to provide the public a more effective voice in the budget-making process, he. said The Rockford hearing is scheduled Wednesday, Oct 25, County board room, Winnebago county courthouse Here Are Some of the Major Ideas Being Considered From the Subcommittee on Limitations on Government Spending and Taxes: State Government 1--Establish a spending limit by statute based on the average growth in the consumer price index for the latest known three fiscal years. 2--Establish a spending limit by statute based on the average growth in Illinois personal income for the latest known three fiscal years. 3--Establish a spending limit statute based on the average of the increases in the state revenues accruing to the funds in the latest known three fiscal years 4 --Prohibit tax rate in­ creases or new tax sources for one or two years and then apply Option 1 or 2 in subsequent years 5--Amend the Constitution to require a three-fifths majority of the General Assembly to approve any tax rate increase or new tax source 6--Amend the Constitution to allow voter referendum to repeal any tax increase or new tax or to reduce existing taxes imposed by the General Assembly. 7--Amend the Constitution to require approval by voter referendum of actions of the General Assembly to increase tax rates or establish new tax sources 8 Amend the Constitution to require a three-fifths majority of the General Assemblv and approval by voter referendum to impose any tax rate increase or new tax source. 9-- Amend the Constitution to allow voter referendum to repeal any tax increase or new tax source imposed by the General Assembly. 10--Amend the Constitution to require the General Assembly to establish a state spending limit by Jan. 1,1981. If the General Assembly fails to act. allow spending limits to be proposed by voter initiative and voted upon at statewide referendum. Local Government 1--Limit property tax ex­ tensions to a maximum annual growth rate of five percent. 2--Freeze tax extensions for one year at the 1978 level and implement a growth rate limit in subsequent years. 3--Require approval by voter referendum for all tax rate increases and expand existing rollback authority to affect all taxing districts. From the Subcommittee on An Effective Public Voice in the Budgetary Process: 1--The present statutes allowing for a rate limit rollback or increase (in the case of home-rule units, rate rollback) by referendum should be expanded to cover all units of local government and school districts. The tax rate could be increased or decreased not to exceed 25 percent of the current rate at one referendum 2--All taxing districts should prepare meaningful budgets coupled with this, all local budget provisions in the statutes should be made more consistent with one another, incorporating many of the provisions of the Optional Budget Act. All units must be required to identify beginning and ending balances and sources of revenue, as well as the purposes and objects of expenditure 3--Require all taxing districts to hold one or more public budget hearings on the proposed budget 4-- Require all taxing districts to publish a budget summary prior to holding public hearings on the proposed budget 5-- The state should further implement Article VIII, Section 4. of the 1970 Illinois Con­ stitution which mandates systems of accounting, auditing, and reporting to be followed by all local units of government and school districts From the Sub-committee on F(|uit\ in the Property Tax: 1 --Require all township PLANNED llorsiM.S- On some farmland, a better use than growing crops is practical, and \1cllenr> <ount\ Soil and Water Conservation annual meeting participants saw an example of this when the\ \ isited an area where housing has been planned on large acreages south of .\1cllenr> near the Fox River.
