A nine-bill package of
legislation ranging from tax
exemptions and unemployment
compensation to a veterans'
bonus and the control of nuclear
power sites has been sponsored by
Paul Conner, D. Port Angeles.
All nine bills were introduced
poses
Monday, the first day of the 1970
Special Session. Conner is a
member of the House Committees
on Education and Libraries;
Public Institutions and Youth
Development and Transportation.
The first measure introduced
by Conner relates to sheltered
Attorneys Join
;r Court Su
In
The firm of attorneys which
serves as legal counsel to the
Washington Education
Association today filed an amicus
curiae brief with the Washington
State Supreme Court in support
of an appeal to the high court by
three Tacoma teachers.
The court granted permission
to the firm of Roberts,
Shefelman, Lawrence, Gay and
Moch to file the ~'friend of the
court" brief in the appeal of a suit
challenging the constitutionality
of the state's 60- and 40-per-cent
voting requirements for passing
school finance issues.
The amicus curiae brief,
prepared at WEA's behest,
supports the appellants' position
that the 60 per cent favorable
vote requirements violates the
14th Amendment to the United
States Constitution, which
guarantees the principle of one
man/one vote. It contends that
the 40 per cent turnout
requirement also violates the 14th
Amendment.
WEA Executive Secretary
Robert J. Addington called the 60
and 40 per cent requirements "a
denial of constitutional privilege
guaranteed to every citizen."
"The Association believes," he
said, "that these restraints placed
on school finance measures
violate the principle of one
man/one vote which is guaranteed
by the Constitution and which
has been upheld by the United
States Supreme Court."
"There are some basic issues at
stake here," he said. "There have
been too many school levies lost
to let these issues go unargued
any longer."
Thd case which is being
appealed was filed last November
in Pierce County Superior Court
by three members of the Tacoma
Federation of Teachers. Last
month Judge Hardyn B. Soule,
disagreeing with the suit's
contention that the voting
restrictions violate the
Constitution, dismissedthe
action, opening the way for a
ruling by the State Supreme
Court.
The Tacoma case is one of four
court challenges filed in the
aftermath of last November's
general election. The other three
suits, all filed in federal district
courts, still are pending. One suit
was filed by WEA and two of its
members in connection with the
defeat of a bond issue in Central
Valley school-district. The other
two were filed by State Sen.
Francis Holman of Seattle,
challenging the defeat of a special
levy in Seattle and a school bond
issue in Franklin Pierce district.

workshops for the handicapped.
It would exempt from taxation
goods or property that is
processed or repaired in a
nonprofit sheltered workshop,
training or rehabilitation center
for the handicapped.
Taking them in order, here is
the essence of the other bills:
House Bill 6 - This would
authorize the Department of
Institutions to permit the sale of
certain .convict-made goods that
were produced as the result of
occupational therapy. The
products could be offered for sale
at fairs, bazaars or other public
gatherings of a temporary nature.
House Bill 9 relates to
veterans benefits and would
authorize a bonus to veterans of
the Viet Nam conflict. The
money would come from the
existing tax on cigarettes.
House Bill 10 is directed at
improvements to the state ferry
system. It would allow the use of
certain excess funds from the
Puget Sound reserve account to
build or otherwise improve the
state ferry system.
House Bill 12 would create
significant changes in the state's
unemployment compensation
laws. It is one of possibly three or
four bills which are expected to
be introducted on the subject of
umemployment compensation.
"It's been 10 years since
we've had any improvement in
our unemployment benefits in
this state," Conner said. "The
general climate for passage of
some type of legislation on this
matter seems better this session
than it has for several recent
sessions.'"
House Bill 13 relates to
so-called remote school districts.
It would restore funds to high
school districts of 250 students or
less. It provides that such schools
shall be considered "remote and
ion
necessary." The bill has the effect
of avoiding the necessity of
consolidating such smaller school
districts.
House Bill 46 would authorize
an increase in retirement benefits
for state employees.
House Bill 49 relates to the
sites for nuclear power plants, and
sets the state regulations and
administrative body for
determining the location of such
sites.
House Joint Resolution 3 calls
for annual sessions of the
Legislature. It would put a
constitutional amendment on the
ballot next November giving the
voters the opportunity to accept
or reject yearly sessions of the
legislature.

Americans is that you are still
under the influence of that
second-rate - shall I say
third-rate? - mind, Karl Marx.
