When Will the Leaislatu re
Reapportion the Millage Tax?
Should I in* university receive a fairer share of the amount
of money provided for higher educational institutions in Oregon
by the millage tax? The State college now receives four-sev
enths, the university, thrrr-sevenths of the total millage appro
priation for higher educat ioual institutions.
Y.eslerday, when a subcommittee of the ways and means
committee of the House of ItcprcHcntat ives at Salem recom
mended reapportionment in view of obvious, prevailing injus
tices, was not the first time the question has come up since the
millage tax was established in 1920 on the basis of comparative
enrollment then. It is to be hoped that something will finally
come of the fight for reapport ionment.
In 1920 when the apportionment originally gave Oregon
only three-sevenths of the millage tax levies from which the two
institutions derive the major portions of their financial support,
the university had tin enrollment of only ITS,') in comparison
with O. A. (Vs .‘$494.
On January 1 of this year the university enrollment was
91 per cent larger than in 1920, The enrollment of the state
college was only 17 per cent higher. The college has now ,'$709;
the university, has :H(>9 students on the campus, and hundreds
more in extension work.
Obviously the millage tax is unfair as now divided. A
solemn duty falls upon the legislature this year to reapportion
I lie millage. lint il is not the first time the responsibility has
rested upon I lie legislature. II may again sidestep it in the
crush of more important matters such as log-rolling, petty poli
ties and general indifference.
For once, I he evil of flagrant injustice should be remedied
by our solons.

tion of the schools and the limited
resources for their maintenance, it
is the opinion of your committee
that a rule or law should be adopted
requiring students lo pay non-resi
dent tuition or be eliminated from
the schools,” the report continues.
Because the. committee la.cks
statements of the accomplishments
of O, S. C. ’s nine experiment sta
tions, the legislature is in no posi
tion to pass upon the proposed $25.'!.
000 for their maintenance, the re
port points out. The same is held
to be true of the $260,921 appro
priation for the extension service.

“A survey should he made by ex
perts of the entire student tuition

well as the cost for maintenance

tions of higher learning, Showing
in detail Tile cost for each depart
ment and all items going lo make
up such costs; and also complete

aiul Senator W. II. Strayqr. Sena
tor Elliot and Representative John
son question certain sets of figures
and other data contained in the re
port. Mr. Johnson believes that it
would be unwise for Oregon to im
pose tuition fees higher than those
in Washington and California upon
non-resident students. Botii Mr.
Elliot and Mr. Johnson agree with
the majority that a survey of both
institutions should be made by ex
perts.
Mr. Johnson, in reference to pro
posals before the legislature to con
solidate the boards of regents of the
university and O. S. C., and also of
the normal schools, declares that he
considers these to be steps in the j
right direction, but as not going
far enough to reach the main!
trouble. Eventually, he thinks, thei

schools will all lie made colleges of
