SEEK LAW TO PERMIT RAISING THE
COUNTY SCHOOL LEVY TO 4 MILLS

town TO be educated but do not bring
their farms along to be taxed by the
district which must provide schools
for their children Property is dis
trlouted throughout the county. but
the property owners to a great extent
live in the towns-at least for the
winter. And so the towns have the
burden of educating almost all the
children of the county, but can tax
only that property which lies within
their district limits. How heavy the
burden thus placed upon the taxpay.
ers of few districts is shown by their
school levies last year: Hermiston.
~ mills; Umatilla, 10; Pendleton. 9;
Milton Freewater. 3; Ferndale. s:
Weston, s: Athena. s: Echo. Z: Pilot
Rock Z; Stanfield, T. Many of these
districts have still higher levies this
year.
An effort will be made in the state
legislature this winter to pass a law
making the county the unit for school
taxation The law will provide for
raising through county taxation the
minimum amount needed to run the
schools with the strictest economy. al
lowing each district to raise by local
tax any additional amount It wishes
to spend. The law will go no fur
ther, and is not to be confused with
the bill for making the county the
unit for school administration as well
as taxation which failed of passage
several years ago.
II we cannot secure this law from
the legislature, We can get the same
thing for Just our county by voting in
a special or general election in favor
of 1t, our county commissioners
would then levy a 4-mill county tax
to support the schools of the county
We shall try to secure this equable
distribution Of the school tax burden
first from the legislature, and If we
fail there, then by county election,
our success depends entirely upon the
hamount of support you will give us.
II YOU will put yourself on record as
lndorsing this movement you will help
1t succeed. II you want to help sign

SOPHOMORE PLAY
is MUCH ENJOYED

Owing to the heavy fall of rain AMI
snow last evening, a small crowd wit
messed the production of 1.-THE Sopho-
more" at the high school auditorium,
but those attending were well re-
paid for their trouble. The produe-
ton was good one, there being
much comedy displayed throughout
and every part being well taken.
The story, originally that of col
lege town. was made over to fit the
local high school. Local character
izations were brought in adding much
to the interest of the play.
Earl Snyder, playing the part of
star football player and hero of the
school, played his part to perfection
and won the admiration of the audi
ence. Also Frank Enbysk, playing
the part of football manager,
brought down the house by his con-
tinual mock threats and comic action.
The parts of Ralph Hargett as foot
ball captain. Reta Ferguson and Hell
en- Meengs as town gossips, Dewey
Gervais as the school dude and Ards
Callison as local football enthuiatst,
were also well taken.
The production, taken as a whole,
can be classed as one of the best
plays ever offered by the high school
Much credit must be given the char
acters and teachers for their untirinS
efforts in the practices and produc-
ton.
Another play will be given in the
near future by the same class that pu;
on last nights production. The same
prices that were offered last night
will again be offered so that all NAV

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-12-20

A movement has been started
among school authorities in the coun-
ty to secure from the legislature a
law to permit the county school levy
no be raised from l-2 mills
to four mills to the end that district
school levies be greatly lowered or
eliminated
Principal John B. Washburn Of
the Milton Freewater schools is at
the head Of the movement and he is
sending out circular letters TO all his
patrons asking that they join in the
request to the legislature. Failing to
secure action from this body, the pro-
posal is made that the matter be vot-
ed upon direct by the people of the
county not latter than 1918.
Mr.. washburn points out that the
taxpayers of his district could be
saved 1-2 mills under the new sys-
tenn. The heavy district taxes are in
the large centers of population
whereas some of the most valuable
property lying In outlying communi-
ties is hardly taxed at all for the sup
port Of the schools. The 4-mill coun-
ty levy would distribute the tax more
equitably. he points out.
The following copy of his circular
gives a clear idea of the subject.
To the Voters and Taxpayers Of Dis
trict No. 81.
DO you really want to lower taxes :
Will you give your active support 70
campaign to reduce your school tax
7 1-2 mills?
You now paw 10 mills district school
tax, plus I 1-2 mills county school tax.
Most of our school money Is raised
bv district taxation We want T.
change the system and raise most Of
It BY county taxation. The county "a
whole should pay for its schools.
County taxation distributes the burden
evenly. A 4-mill county school tax
would support all the schools Of the
county. You would pay mills in
stead Of your present II 1-2 mills dis
trict and county tax.
Our high tax Is not due to our
amending too much money for schools
Washington. California and thirteen
other 'es spend more per child
than does oregon. And many districts
In oregon spend more per child than
does our district. There are only =
few high schools In oregon which
spend less per pupil than does ours
What we need is a fair distribution
Of the tax burden.
Last year half the districts in Una
tllla county paid mills or less. Sly
had no school tax at all The whole
burden Of educating the children Of
the county falls upon few heavily
taxed districts. Property owners o.
