(API "Possible delay in inauguration," tlie newspaper headline blazed. It was reporting a deadlock between minority Democrats and majority Republicans vying for the speakership of the Illinois House. That was 1961. There was a delay, Secretary of State Charles Carpentier's attempt to block Paul Powell from the leadership post ran for five days. Inauguration of Gov.

Otto Kerner for his first term was held up. It can't happen this year. The 1970 Constitution has changed the order of business. Inauguration of the governor comes before the inauguration of the House and election of its speaker. However, there may be a post-inaugural inter-party fight over the speakership this year.

A rift in the GOP ranks this year has raised Democratic hopes of carrying off the prize again. Statehouse experts on the new constitution said putting inauguration ahead of legislative organization and elections apprently happened by accident and was not designed to keep the inauguration isolated from the power fight for speaker. Grabs gavel In 1961, the minority was threatened with delay in the inauguration of its own governor if the Democrats persisted in reaching for the speakership. Paul Powell wrested the speakership from the Republican majority of 89 because some Republican lawmakers absented themselves during the early days of the parliamentary dueling, and because Republicans defected on the final vote. Carpentier, who was temporary presiding officer over organization of the House, gaveled it into adjournment to stem the Democratic grab.

But Powell took up the abandoned gavel and assumed the speakership despite the seats left vacant before him as Republicans deserted the chamber. Carpentier and Atty. Gen. William L. Guild, also a Republican, filed a suit demanding Powell answer by what authority he claimed the speakership.

Peace finally When Powell refused to answer the suit, Republicans threatened to boycott the Assembly session scheduled under the constitution to witness the inaugura 17 I A ft Vr- For last time After exchanged insults, there was peacemaking. The clock was turned back in the House to where it was before Powell's assumption of the speakership. Powell was elected 89 to 85. The 89 is the constitutional majority in the House.

The task force also proposed that the state "take a hard look" at teacher retirement funding. Disadvantaged students For disadvantaged students, the task force recommended "extra weighting" (the practice of counting a disadvantaged student as more than one for the purpose of making state aid payments on a per-pupil basis) and setting aside $12 million in fiscal 1974 for special programs for disadvantaged pupils which are not eligible for federal funds. "The task force recommended that the state sell $100 million in bonds to help local school districts built new schools and pay off debts incurred since Jan. 1, 19G9, for school construction," McCarter said.

And in the area of special education the task force recommended "radical departures in state assistance to local school districts." "Aid would no longer be distributed according to the number of professional employes who work with handicapped pupils," McCarter added. Instead, handicapped students would be given extra weighting (much the same as for disadvantaged students) in the distribution of general state aid, and the extra money would have to be spent for handicapped students.

aid formula in scnoo I AUTO yCMH (7 I IMMEDIATE DELIVERY-NO WAITING grant given to all students, regardless of the district in which they reside, to ensure a minimum level of education. Tier 2 should consist of additional expenditures chosen by the local school district and equalized by the state so that school districts choosing equal tax effort will receive equal revenues per student. (School districts should be able to provide equalized expenditures of at least $1,000 per student under Tier 1 and Tier 2.) Tier 3 Tier 3 should consist entirely of local efforts beyond Tier 1 and Tier 2. It would not be equalized by the state. Tier 3 would enable those districts that wish to spend amounts beyond those which the state considers necessary for a reasonable education to do so if the district is willing to pay for it.

Tier 3 tax and expenditure levels should be reviewed by the voters of the district at least every four years. The alternatives specify dollar amounts of state aid, tax rates and maximum levels of guaranteed per-pupil support. The third alternative would even require "districts which at any tax rate below $2.50 are able to realize more revenues than the guaranteed per-pupil level for that tax rate" to turn over the excess revenue to the state "for distribution to those districts which do not realize the guaranteed per-pupil level for their tax rates." In addition to recommending a new formula for distribution of general state aid to common schools," McCarter said, "the task force proposed that the state make extra money available to local school districts for educating disad A task force on finance of the Governor's Commission of Schools has recommended changes in the state school aid formula and new sources of income that would see an additional $171 million in state aid for public schools in 1974. The report, released Saturday by John W. McCarter Illinois budget director and chairman of the task force, proposes that half of the growth in state income tax revenue, with no change in the tax rate; two-thirds of the state's share of general federal revenue sharing; and all the growth in the state income tax revenue sharing be used to reduce the burden of local school property taxes.

Funds from those three sources would amount to $171 million for fiscal 1974, McCarter said. "This figure would grow to $554 million by fiscal 1978." The state budgeted $1.16 billion for aid to education this year and the money from the three new sources would be additional. And (lie task force proposed "that all local property tax rates should be frozen for two years if enough replacement revenue can be set aside to offset a financial loss to the common McCarter said. The task force found "that an increased state income tax probably would be the fairest way of replacing the local property tax," McCarter said. "But to replace the education portion of the local property tax, the state income tax of 2.5 per cent on individuals and 4 per cent on corporations would have to be increased to 6.25 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively." 1 No drastic step However, the budget director said the task force did not recommend so drastic a step.

"Reliance on the local property tax to finance public education in Illinois has produced severe inequities," McCarter said. "The same property tax rate produces 75 times as much revenue in the wealthiest elementary school district in the state as in the poorest district." And while the "current formula for state aid to school districts has reduced the resulting inequities it has fallen far short of eliminating them." The task force recommends a plan, with three alternatives, to change the current formula. Presented in three "tiers," the plan Is: Tier 1 should consist of a basic state Advertisement 50,000 Drivers Fail last year over 50,000 Illinois drivers failed the state written-exam.
