4. Why does tin petti Ion cull
for location of the school a( Imb
ler? Answer:- Tim law requires
that the locution of the site for
the proposed union high school be
stated in the petition. (Sec. 4!)0,
page 141, Official -Pamphlet. Ore
gon School Laws, 1!-5.)- Imbler
already has tho buildings and
equipment und is centrally located.
It Is tho only one of tho said dis
tricts that now maintains a high
school and nearly all of the chil
dren In the said districts now at
tending high school uro gofng to
Imbler.
Can Situ He Cliaiuicd ?
B. Can tho site of the high
school bo chungeil after the dis
trict is formed. Answer: Yes, by
a majority vote of the people of
the union high school district at a
meeting called for tho purpose.
(Sec. 4!MI. page. 14 i. Official
Pamphlet.)
What Is Tax Increase?
ft. How much -would this in
crease the taxes of those residing
in tho district? .Answer: Last year
a levy of one and one-quarter mills
u'irt : raised for thu .county high
school tuition fund but this amount
lacked $8,147.58 of paying for the
uotual cost of educating students
going to high school from the dls
tricts having 110 high school.
Knuugh lias been .placed In thu
budget for the coming y
legally called school meeting (Sec. (
41M. page 145, Official Pamphlet.

How Is Hoard Constituted?
lo. How many members coiw i
stitute the board , of directors and)
how many can be chosen from one ,
district ? Answer:- Tho law re- I
quires (hat there shall be five dl- .
reclors, no two of whom can be I
from any one district. (See. 417, !
sub. dlv. 8, . page 147, Official I
Pumphlet. lH'J.'i).
We believe that the' only firm
foundation for, any . republican
form of government is liberal edu
cation for the masses, "Wo believe
that children of rural communities
are entitled to educational advant
ages second to none. We believe
that tho only manner . In which
these advantages can be brought
lo them is by combining resources
of several distrlcls. - W'o believe !
that (ho people of theso districts
