Efficiency would also require that administration of the taxing method be improved to take for education could be over the tax base and • . After such take-over, it has been suggested that the federal government could then make available state grants on a per pupil basis that would assure a minimum (say $300 per pupil) revenue • base for education in all states.92 • The effect of such a plan would be to reduce the cost of raising education funds to all states, but not reduce it more for poor states than for rich states. Disparities among states whose spending was already above the minimum per pupil level would still exist, but a great many of the former "disadvantaged" states would see improve ment.93 FOOTNOTES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 3t 33': "Education in the 1970's", Memorandum from the Planning Group on Edu cation, Democratic National Committee, Washington, D.
