ANSWER OF
Directors Finlay and Shoemaker
To Query in Advertisement Signed "Parents and Tax
payers Committee" By Clarence A. Miller,
a Non-Taxpayer
Answering the advertisement in the News Review of June 12, 1930, signed "Parents and Taxpay
ers Committee," by Clarence A. Miller, whom the records show not to be a taxpayer in this school district,
in which the question is asked of us why it costs more to educate a child in the Roseburg high school than
it does in the cities named in the advertisement: The statement therein that the average per capia cost of
education in Roseburg high school covering the past four years was $185.75 is incorrect. The average cost
covering that period was $159.31. The correctness of these figures can be verified at the County School
Superintendent's office by anyone interested.
The per capita cost of education in Roseburg high school for the year just closed was less than
$130.00. During the four-year period mentioned in the advertisement which includes the administra
tion of Directors Finlay and Shoemaker, the per capita cost was reduced $26.40, and during the past year
just closed the per capita cost has been reduced $25.00, which makes the per capita cost here practically
the same as at Grants Pass, and less by a considerable amount than the per capita costs in the high schools
of Baker, Medford and Portland, cited in the aforesaid advertisement. '
During the four-year period mentioned in the advertisement of Parent and TaxDavers Committee, the
per capita cost of education in Roseburg high school was reduced as aforesaid $26.40, while in the follow-
ing cities named in the advertisement the per capita cost increased during that same period as follows:
Increase
Albany $24.32
Corvallis 5.50 -
Salem ; 6. 1 1
Silverton ;. ; 3.05
Klamath Falls :.' 2.61
Grants Pass 26.84 "
' Baker ... ;.. 36.30
Medford ; A 10.79
and out of the whole list only three cities show a per capita decrease, to-wit:
Decrease
Roseburg $26.40
Portland 1 .88
Eugene '. 5.81
The above shows that under the administration of these two directors with the other members of
the board, Roseburg s cost has decreased while all cities named therein except Portland and Eugene have
increased in the per cajjita cost of education.
The per capita cost of education is based upon and determined in the following manner: First is taken
into considerate the operative cost which includes salaries of all teachers, cost of supplies, fuel, water,
light and power, telephone, printing, insurance, stationery, repairs, transportation, interest on current war
rants, interest upon the fair -value of the investment in high school buildinps, and the like, after deprecia
tion has been taken into consideration, and interest upon the fair value of high school furniture, equip
ment and apparatus. The total amount of the foregoing is then divided by the average dailv attendance
ot pupils enrolled in the high school. This is the method provided by the General Laws of Oregon for
determining the cost of education per capita, from which it will be observed that the cost in a large part
depends upon the value of the school properties.
Roseburg's cost for the four-year period mentioned in the advertisement was higher by reason of the
expenditure for the new high school building and grounds voted by the taxpayers of the district. The
building, furniture and equipment, were new, hence no depreciation, resulting in the same being carried
at their cost value. High school bonds are being retired at the rate of approximately $7,000.00 per year
which is decreasing the interest charge; hence the cost per capita of education in Roseburg high shcools
rrom now on will continue to decrease rapidly.
The operating cost of the high school, which is the only cost within the control of the Board of
Directors, in Roseburg, is $109.81 per capita. In Medford, one of the cities cited in the advertisement, and
the only on3 from which in the short time allowed we have been-able to secure figures, the operating cost
23r5Cmifls 13 8cho1 evY in RoseburS s 7 mills; the levy in Medford for school purposes is
It is unfair to compare Roseburg with the cities named in the advertisement. All with the" excep
tion of three have more students than Roseburg and less bonded indebtedness per capita, and the direc
tors are not responsible for the bonded indebtedness. Why in the advertisement, if they wanted to be
fair, did not they name for comparison cities with a student attendance near the same number as Rose
burg, such as the following, with the following per capita cost, to-wit :
Per Capita

of Jaw'X27! igh.QnhQ,S niS? uTTni The aVeraSe "pita cost of education in all
of said high schools is 190.89 Of the 271 high schools the per capita cost in 1 1 1 of them is less than
Roseburg and in. 1 59 of them the cost ,s higher than in Roseburg. The comparison of the costs with other
ct.es of the state show that Roseburg with its low per capita cost of approximately $130.00 is among the
very lowest; and under the management of the present Board with the able assistance of Supermendent
Campbell, the cost is being reduced each year. -ujjciunenaeni
The statement in the advertisement that if the voters will recall us and elect men pledged to a plan
of economy, the taxpayers could be saved $41,712.80 each year is not only ridiculous but silly Such a
saving is impossible. The total amount of money received by the district for high school purposes
annually, based upon figures for the past year, is $59,964.03; expended for retinno- V A. j f
