Asarenultof the action brought by County SuKriiiteudeul Starkweather in the circuit court for a premulory manda mus compelling the county court to taie the lax levy for school purMises from 6 mills, the rate Used at the January meeting of the county court, to 7.07 mills, the rate fixed by the klututo, the county school fund will m raixed some flMJOO over what it would havelecn. Thi; action a as baited on oction 2"t)3 ol the Oregon co le,as amended In lH!i.'l, Tlut provides that lliecounty court shall levy, at Ill's time for lev) ing oilier taxes, a tax (or school purpoM-a upon all llie taxable property of the county, which tax shall avg-egnte as much or more p-r capita as wis levied for the year 1HD2. There were then in Clackamaa county (IH47 cliildrun of school sge. The asxeitsment that year was the hlgnest ever made here.tlie taxable nr Jirly footing up p'if't(ifil0, and the 6 mill tax then levied for school pnrMM4)gve fund of !2H,2rt0 12, or a trifle more than (4.13 per capita Since then the taxable Valuation has been re duced $1,708,711, while the oumber of children has increawd 050, and the 5 mill tax levied this year falls by fU.'M7, or nearly $1 20 er capita, to provide the revenues required by the terms ol the law. The last aohool census showed 7H03 children over 4 and under 20 years of sgn in the county. The 5-mlll levy would have nroJuned fund of (22,781) 83 while the 7.07 levy now made will bring in (.12,224 70 if all collected Tl.e county levy gave little over 2'I,(KK) to the school fund last year. There will he some oo joctions to this high levy fur school urioses, but- when it Is remembered that fully one-third of the taxes of Clack amas county are paid by non-residents, proH-rty holders and cornorati-ma and that all of this money is r-x-nt within the county the proportion is not so bad a one for our people. It will enable every dixtrict In the countv to add at leant one additional month to tl elr school term and maintain the reputation of Clackamas county for having one of the best systeai of schools in the slate.
