SAYS UNIT PLAN
AID TO CHILDREN
Takes Issue With Mr.. Hassman
Who Disapproves OF New Sys-
tern; Boosts Equalization in
Taxation for School Purposes.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
read with much interest the article
bv Mr.. Hassman, in your last issue
O. the. Leader Isl, | want to say, |
have known NJ. Hassman for num-
ber of years and have always known
him 10 speak his thoughts as they
were and always sincere in his state
ments. believe he VIII do what he
thinks is right. Bat don't agree with
him when lie says, in substance, our
present system i3 better than the
County Unit Plan. The Unit Plan
-ssys We should be taxed equally for
school purposes. Our present system
taxes some two and one-half mills,
and others twenty-five and seventeenth
mills for school and the one paying
the higher taxes gets no better
schools. In other words the schoo.
taxes in the different district are from
two and one.half mills to twenty two
and seven tenths mills. The average
be ng about six and one'half mills.
Two and one half mills is the general
levy and the special district levies
added to this make the total school tax
paid by the taxpayers in the dlifer.
ent districts. This is unequal and II
UNEQUAL 1t is unjust as | see it. The
special levies to be equal should not
be more or less than four mills. IND,
Under the present system we do not
furnish schooling for all our pupils.
There are at present some % pupils
who do not have the advantage OF
schools though their parents pay
more than they should, that is they
nav more than others in comparison
to whns they are worth. The Unit
plan viii. make provisions that all may
have school at a common expense.
AS to the closing down scme schools
and furnishing transportation. that
will be done only where 1t can De
done at saving of money and as good
or betSer advantages be given. One
district has closed this school year
and are transporting their pupils at a
saving Of about $500 per month, 1t
can be done in other districts where
the roads will permit. Should it be
necessary, and it is, to board pupils
away from home, the parents VIII
have the say as to where they are
boarded. No pupil viii be taken with
out the consent of its parents, bu>
II the parents want their children
boarded. there will be means OF doing
it. AT present, in some cases, children
cannot be bearded unless the parents
pay the beard.
When you vote NO on the County
Unit Plan. you say you do not believe
in equal taxation that you do not be-
lieve in equal opportunities for the
children. oo,>,

erintendent Coin that state superin-
tendent Churchill would be at Siletz
Saturday evening and explain the
Couny Unit system. But the Superin-
tendent failed to come and Mr.. Coin,
rather than have the people disap-
pointed, came over himself and
brought along Prof. Victor Shave,
superintendent of the Toledo schools.
These two educators very satisfac-
torily filled the place of Mr.. Churchill.
A good audience of teachers and tax
payers was present.
Prof. Shaw made the first speech,
explaining very fully the workings Of
the Unit. Then followed Mr.. Coin
with very elaborate explanation Of
the whole unit system. These gentle
men both favor the plan. Many Ques.
tions were asked by persons In tho
audience and answered by the speak
ers. Here is the conclusion Of the
whole business as set forth by these
two prominent educators. The old
district system had about out-lived it's
usefulness and something new must
be established to take its place. We
must get out of the old .ut. 1t is n
