The change favors the small listricts.

If i listrict s share of this sum does no! imount to $300 (six months at $30 er month) then county court must evy upon the property pf such dls rict, a special tax large enough tc iroluce the difference between such istrict apportionment of the county iiind and $300; provided that such ipeciai levy does not exceed the '-mill tax. If the district's Bhare ol ne county school fund and the imount raised by a B-mlll tax(specla' school tax) doas not amount t: 300, then the coanty court mus! rdnsier irom the general county tund to the special fund for sue! listrict an amount that will equal the ainerence. Second, the Phllpott bill: This bill nakes a change in the manner oi apportioning the county and state Jchool funds. As the law now Is, the county superintendent apportions tht noney by first giving to each district 30 and then distributing the balance iccoraing tothe number of pupils in 3ich district. This bill provides that -ue county school superintendent J.hall first give to each district J10C and then distribute the balance accor- ng to the number of children in aach district. ibira, the bill introduced by the Lane county delegation, providing for i.o.iiuy mgh school fund This bill irovides that a county at a general eiecnon may vote upon the question of creating a county high school fund When such fund has been created it is placed under the control or a county high school board, consisting n meaioers or the county court, the l,TOUrer na the county school superintendent. Every, high school in such a county that maintains a school up to the standard prescribed by the State Board of Education is entitled to receive tuition from this fu"d for all pupli8 attending such high school. The basis of the distrlba "on is the average daily attendance our ng the school year. A high school shall receive not less than $40 per Pupil for the first 20 and $12 per Pupil for all the remaining pupiis idld',hat tbe Paid any I! trict ""I not exceed the amount by the district tn th hi.i. paid school teachers, Fourth, the Dodd bill: Gives the m-ke a partial apportionment of the to any district upon the request of the board of directors of WHILE ATTENDING The Big STOCK SHOW Next Saturday Don't Forget to Call at the New Drug Store If in need of anything in the way of drugs, toilet articles, perfumes, jewelry, stationery, paints, oils, brushes, etc. Our stock ia all brand new and un. to date, and prices reasonable Prescriptions Compounded by Di always have the effect the doc tor expects them to have JACKSON & WEAVER iuch district.
