"I think we ought to raise taxes now rather than put it off into the future," said Rep. John A. Begala, D-Kent, an outspoken opponent. He conceded, however, that the plan is "much better" than a $2.5 billion, 10-year plan which he helped vote down last week in the House Ways and Means Committee. Rep.

Waldo Bennett Rose, RLima, the ranking GOP member of the House Finance Committee, urged approval "reluctantly," he said. Rose said the only worse alternative for the Legislature would be to do nothing "while our high bond issue proposal on the June ballot, but leaders said they see no reason the deadline cannot be met. Under the proposed constitutional amendment, the state could issue bonds backed by a portion of its existing gasoline and truck axle mile taxes, said Rep. Arthur R. Bowers, D-Steubenville, the chief sponsor.

He said the Transportation Department probably would issue about $100 million a year for the first five years. However, it could generate $1.2 billion by the year 1996, other sponsors said. Bowers said the bonds could be financed without new taxes because the state is well on its way to retiring two major highway bond issues of the He explained that the taxes earmarked for those issues now produce a "surplus" of $36 million to $40 million a year.

Ohio (AP) -Without dissent, the Ohio House has approved a bill raising regis--tration fees of engineers and surveyors. The chief sponsor, Rep. Thomas J. Carney, D-Boardman, said Wednesday, as his bill went to the Senate, that the higher fees are required to meet inflated costs of operating the state Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and. Surveyors.

Initial registration fees for engineers and surveyors would go from $22.50 to $45 while the cost of annual renewals would be hiked from $4 to $10. Fork finances discussed "Licking County Atlas."

"We have three options as far as education in North Fork is concerned," he said. "We can create a total austerity program, continue our existing program or do some of the additional things people desire in the system," Thomas said. Russell Suskind, parent, emphasized he wanted to see the district return to teaching "only" the basics. Suskind recommended cutting out sports and extra-curricular activities.

He said the school should teach only reading, writing and arithmetic. "I Want to see a paper boy who can make change or a secretary who can write a complete sentence when they graduate," he said. "I'm more concerned about this than watching someone make a box in shop class." His comments prompted much discussion on the back-to-basic movement. Former teacher Bonnie Ramseyer said, "A program can be available, but you can't make a student learn. "A teacher can't be complete ly responsible for the classroom.

A parent must assume responsibility." Comments on discipline, social promotions, minimum competency tests and the role of education filled the two-hour session. The board will consider a course of action at the March 10 meeting. Thomas said a decision on the type of levy request and amount of millage needed may be determined then.

It specifically prohibits schools from adding on any other charges, and it says that each school must meet the state's academic standards. Butts said his bill has the de-sireable effect of getting parents more involved in the education process because he said all of them, "poor and rich are interested in quality education for their children." Anticipating an obvious question, the senator conceded there would be problems at the outset because some schools would be oversubscribed and there would be others which no one would pick. The bad schools "obviously would have to change and adapt, or otherwise they would have to close," he said.

If some schools had to close, this would force school officials to look at other alternatives to bring about quality education, Butts said.

North By SANDY LAYMAN Advocate Reporter Parents, teachers, administrators and board of education members in the North Fork School district met in special session Wednesday at Utica High School to discuss the district's financial status.

Dr. Paul Thomas, superintendent, opened the discussion COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Parents could send their children to any school they pleased within their school district, under a bill now before Ohio's General Assembly. Sen. Charles L. Butts, DCleveland, explained his proposal Wednesday night to the Senate and Health Committee, saying it may be the answer to achieving "quality education." He said rich, upper class families have a choice about where to send their children to private schools, for instance and he asserted other parents should have alternatives, too.

It was the first hearing on Butts' bill, and committee members showed interest in it. Sen. John K. Mahoney, DSpringfield, called it "an intresting concept." But Mahoney noted that it has been placed on ballots in some other states, and has not been adopted anywhere, to his knowledge. But he said Canada uses the so-called "voucher," or "parent check" concept.

Butts' proposal has nothing to do with the racial mix in schools, and in fact requires all schools to adopt and maintain an open admissions policy. It also prohibits religious training or services. The Cuyahoga County lawmaker said that while it may be correct to call his proposal "a voucher bill." because it involves sending an annual check to parents, he feels it would create a competition for excellence among the schools within a district. He said the plan calls for pooling all the school district's funds, from all sources, and dividing the total by the number of students in the district, to get a per capita amount. Then, the parents would be mailed a check reflecting that amount multiplied by the number of children they have in school.

The bill provides that the parents then may choose the school where they want their children to Dill choice i Ford has the best Corporate Average Fuel Economy of any major U.S. car maker.
