Unfairness Cited
Henry V. Knglish, secretary of
J he association of high school prin
cipals, called attention to the fact
-that the Wheeler law operates un
jlcr the assumption that students
can be educated in the small
-schools at a cost of Jfio, and in
arge schools for 130, while figures
how the average cost to be 2:i5
each in schools of less than 20,
-$222 In schools from 20 to 40 and
in schools of 40 or more. The
HSvheeler law would force the dis
tricts to make up the difference.
This, he stated, is obviously un
fair, particularly in view of the
3act that non-high school territory
Jias an assessed valuation of S-l'),-oOO
for every high school pupil
"unrolled, while high school dis
tricts have less than $26,000 valna--4Jon
for each pupil. This would
greatly discriminate against tho
larger districts, he pointed out, aB
such schools as Kosehui'K. Sutliur-
Jin, Oakland, Myrtle Creek, etc.,
"would have less than $10,000 valua
tion for each pupil, and would
therefore be suflerlng heavy losses
" Mr. English contended that the
tuition law offered the best method
of meeting the need.
Central Control Urged
A. N. Orcutt, representing the
' Jloseburg school district, stated
that the high school tuition law,
,. now being used, has many faults,
but is correct In theory. Tho law
Bhould be changed to pormlt some
control by a central body in deter
. mining per capita costs, as at pres
ident many items can he charged by
the school board that should not
be permitted to enter Into the tui
tion charge, and It should also bo
. possible for the central group to
designate the school the pupil
- should attend.
The theory of the law, ho stated,
Is correct, and the next legislature
is expected to make changes that
will correct some of tho existing
faults.
- Until the legislature can meet
"and make the needed corrections,
lie Btutcd, the county court Bhould
not disrupt the entire school fl-
nance plan by changing to the
Wheeler law.
Roscburg. he staled , bad 114 pu
pils from iion-organl.cd districts
last year, with a per capila cost of
$154.54, making a total cost of $17,
617. Under the Wheeler act, the
loss to the Itoseburg district would
amount to $11,00, which would
make It necossary for tho district
either to increase its millagu tax
above tho 6 per cent, or else take
out all of Its departments from the,
schools. '
Ho advocated walling mil II tho
legislature has a chance to amend
tho law to make it more practical
L In operation.
'", ' Arnument on Other Side
". Admitting that the tuition law
wis the more equitable form of rais
ing money for hlali school use.
Commissioner 'CknMli declared
,' that pocnliur clrcunistnnces make
the Wheeler law more practical for
the county at tills time,
Tho law makes It necessary, ho
states, to levy tho tuition fund
within the six per cent llmitatloji,
although it does not npply to all
of the districts of tho county. Last
year the money was ralBod by al-
lotting surplus funds, hut this year
' tho county does not havo any sur
' plus accounts upon which to draw,
and the amount must he taken
from the departments sustained by
the general fund.
The operation of tho law, ho
states, will probably crowd out
some very merltorlouB Items, cur-
tailing the road fund and possibly
Bulking at the health unit, county
. agent and other departments.
Under tho Wheeler law, he stat
ed that some of the larger dislrlcis
might be afreeted, but the majority
of the districts would not he in-
. jured. It might be found necessary
In ulstrlclB such us Hnsehurg, he
'Btutcd, to raise a Hpeclal tax, but
by so doing, it would leave money
. in tho county funds to maintain
roads and keep other departments
"going.
Double Burden Feared
There was a lengthy discussion
..of tho matter, Mr. Kliglish declar
ing that the difference beiween the
-Vniotinls under the tuition fund uud
the Wheeler act would not be of
such momentous Importance as the
commissioner indicated. The till
"1lon law, he muled, will probably
require $00,000, while under the
. Wheeler act the county would huve
wto rwtso $:i&,noo. The difference
' Is, ho stated, tiiat under the till-
tion law tho money would be paid
,by the dlstrlels front which the
students come, while under the
-Wheeler act Iho entire county
would pay equally on Hie tuitions,
while the high school districts
would have a double burden by
having to maku up the delii-it by a
special tax.

Mooney Still Hopeful
SAN QUENTIN, Cal.. July 8.
Tom Mooney didn't get the bad
news from Los Angeles at once.
He was asleep when the governor's
decision denying him his freedom
was received at the state peniten
tiary here, and was not disturbed
by prison officials.
Moonoy's work hero keeps him
busy from 4 p. m. to midnight, and
ho generally sleeps until 10::i0 or
11 a. m.
Assorting he was "neither dis
couraged nor disheartened" by the
advisory pardon board's recommen
dation against his application for
a pardon, Mooney previously said
he felt "fit for the coming fight
that will eventually bving tree
dom." ... .
"Hoth Hillings and myself are ab
solutely Innocent of this crime and
the decision of the sovernor and
the supreme court does not make
US guilty," said Mooney, reconciled
that (Jovernor Young would follow
the board's recommendation.
"Now our friends can proceed,"
he added, "to tho task of bringing
about our final and ulliniato vindi
cation. The Mooney-Hllllngs case
will Immediately assume an Inter
national Aspect and it will not lie
down until both of us are free men.
"Again I repent, fate has once
more smiled upon me kindly. I
feel highly honored In the greater
service td which 1 have been called
for the establishment of the prin
ciples Involved in our case."
