to the financial disadvantage of the
taxpayers of fully two-thirds Of the
districts A four mill general school
tax would produce $25 per capita for
each pupil of school age in the coun-
ty and this would give such districts
as Cayuse, Riverside and 113 on the
reservation seeral times the amount
Of money required to run their schools.
Supt Young states that there is a
feeling in school circles that the pres
ont plan of distributing school funds
Is wrong. He states that the state de-
partment is now working on a plan to
apportion the funds on the basis OF
number of teachers employed and the
acreage daily attendance rather than
upon the number of children of school
age in district Such a measure was
drafted at the last legislature but was
held over until 1917. AS an evidence
of the inequitable way the present sys-
tenn works, he points out that at pres
ent the Cayuse district draws money
for rs children whereas there are but
seven attending school.
