This plan will equalize them so far as the schools are concerned, and in my Jjudgment would reduce the cost of our schools, yet as I would not have the say, I cannot cay that it would. I will say it should. R. P. GOIN, County School Supu The County Unit Plan. In a brief summary tho out stand ing features of tha Oreg:n County TTnit lnw ure: 1.
