PTTRAT. SPTTOOL TAX EQUALIZATION
Generally looked upon as one of the oustanding measures
enacted at the 1945 session of the Oregon legislature, house
hill 80. for rural school tax equalization, poses a .peculiar
problem in Bend. Whether this problem will ever require solu
tion is not a certainty at the moment, for the bill is referred
to popular vote at the 1946 general election. Its passage at that
time however, wbuld make the question immediate and urgent
and it would be well that consideration should be given before
then to the strictly local situation which it would create.
For those who may not be familiar with the provisions of
the measure, let us explain tnat nouse oin ou ii uiu.- m
creation in each county of, un over-all district to include all
school districts with the exception of districts of the first
class. Union high school districts would be among those
forced into the county-wiuo organization vmu ilis ui l.
first class couM come in (under certain conditions), or stay
out. The over-air district, organization would pass on the
budgets of local school districts and levy a tax to meet me
combined budgets. , ,
The intent of the measure, as we have intimated, and its
rrnnai-ui rnsnlt would ho to emmlize the taxes of rural districts.
It is noted that city (first-class) districts are not necessarily
. . . i i i . . .' i t ai ' 1 1 . n . i
included, sucn a one is eena district no. i. rtiso in xjuhu in a
city district which is included. It is union high school district
no. 2. These districts cover virtually the same area, have
the same school board, their schools have the same super
intendent. Their differences lie in the facts that one has only
jrrade schools, the other only high schools, that they have
separate DUdgeis ana separate levies, cut, to an interns aim
purposes, they are the same district. Actually the union dis
trict is slignciy smaller.1 it is entirely inciuuuu m me inner.
This situation had its beginning in 1923. Bend was in a
period of extremely rapid growth. Increase in taxable values
was not keeping pace with increase in population. There were
pressing demands for more and more school facilities take
care of mounting -school population. Bonding capacity was
exhausted. Still there was need for more building, primarily
for a new high school; And there was no way of getting one
under the existing set-up. 1
' . As a last resort a union high' school district was decided
On. To form a union district there had to be at least two dis
tricts to unite. From district no. 1 the second district was
carved. It was made up of a part of the' Brooks-Scanlon
logging area just south of Bend and was designated district
no. 37. It joined district no. 1 at once and union high school
district no. 2 was ready to do business, to levy taxes, to use
an untapped bonding capacity, to build and administer the
needed high school.
At that time, it will be seen, union high school district
ho. 2 was not identical In area with the new district no. 1. It
Was naturally considerably larger. But. as the years went on.
the lands of district no. 37, stripped of their merchantable
timber, were turned in to the national forest by the private
owner and became a part of the national forest. District no. 37
existed no longer. '
That is why district no. 1 and union high school district
no. 2 are today, in a sense, only different names for the
same thing. It is why we have a union high school district
which is composed of but one ordinary district.
But, because the area docs have two different names, it
would be subject, while using one name, to the provisions of
the rural tax equalization measure; it would not need to be
subject, while using the other name, to these same provi
sions. Some of the problems involved in this matter of what
might be called a dual district personality we would like to
discuss In another issue.

Our house was outside of the
village just beyond the Academy,
on the road that led to the hill.
It was of the older variety, built
back from the street and reached
by a walk that was bordered by
lilacs and syringas. Like almost
every other family in the village,
we had a cow, a pig, and a gar
den. We had a horse, too, but her
use was reserved for my father.
Our barn Joined the house by way
of a shed. Being city-bred,, my
mother could never quite get used
to this arrangement and was for
ever reminding us to close the
door between them. "Your moth
er's afraid the smell of the kitch
en will get out into the stable,"
my father usd to say slyly.. ,
My father was very proud of
his home and his family. Ho was

felt the truth of it, just the same.

everyone down to the office, as if

especially proud of Sue, who was I growing less frequent. The trip
14 and a sophomore in the Acad- was hard, they said, and they
emy. Sue was quick. She could were getting older. They pre
hunt him up faster than anyone ferred to have us come to Boston.,
when a call came in, and by the we girls preferred that, too, for
time he got his things together we loved to sail down the bay,
she would have the horse hitched I winding in and out among the
and waiting in the driveway. But tiny green islands, where sheep
she was impatient and apt to lie were grazing or lying motionless
bossy when my mother was out in the shade, like those on the
of hearing. Sue liked to draw, and i monuments in the village grave-
sm: whs guuu ui u, iuo, uiougn ' yard. We loved, too, the tossing,
she always drew things that were
fierce and turbulent. Forest fires.
Houses swirling around in a flood.
Cats fighting.
Julia was 11. My father was
proud of her, too, though she
baffled him. He himself was tender-hearted
it took almost noth
ing to fill his eyes with tears
but Julia scorned softness of any
kind. She had no qualms at all
about such things as baiting
hooks and having kittens
drowned. She gave no sympathy
and tolerated none. If she was
sick, she never acknowledged it.
When a tooth had to come out,
she pulled it herself by tying one
end of a string to it, the other
end to the doorknob, then slam
ming the door. Moreover, she had
spirit. In those days when chil
dren were supposed to accept
without question, the challenged
anyone, regardless of age or ex
perience. e
She could not tolerate lies or
excuses. Often my mother asked
my father to bring something
home from the store, it being Just
lielow his office. When he forgot,
he didn't like to admit it.Tnstcad
he was apt to say, "Tim didn't
have any," or "Tim had closed up
when I left." My mother always
appeared to believe him. But not
Julio. "Nonsense, Papa," she
would say coldly without looking
up. lie never took her to task for
it. I think he was afraid to.
I was 9, and. it hurts me to re
member, the plainest of the three.
Both Sue and Julie resembled my
mother's family. She had blue
eyes, a -short, sfaright nose, and
heavy chestnut hair which she
woi-e in coronet braids. Julia had
brown eyes, brown curls, and a
nose that was pleasantly intitul
ed. Unth had slender, gnuelul
figures. I was sturdy, like my
miner, i nan mm, mousy hai
which I wore In short, limp braids,
looped up and lied with a ribbon,
gray eyes, ami a nose that turned 1

sound of the bell buoys. The
whistle tearing through our
plugged ears ns a boat passed.

Travel was no novelty to moth
er. As a child she had often taken
long trips with her'father, who
lul been a coffee merchant with
connections in all' the leading
cities of the east. By the time she
was 10 she had visited New York,
Philadelphia, and Washington.
She had heard a symphony or
chestra nnd seen a real play in
a theater. In Washington she had
stood outside the White House
and watched President Ruther-:
ford B. Hayes pass by in his car- j
riage. When she was 15, she had
gone away to school, spending
two years at a "Female Semi
nary." It was through her room-1
mate there that she had met my
father, then a medical student at ;
Bowdoin college. j
For all her background, my
mother fitted nicely into our lit
tle village, where my father's !
family had lived for throe genera- i
Hons and where his father had
been the doctor before him.
Though she was reserved, no one j
felt that she was the least bit
"stuck-up." She worked tirelessly !
for the church, and the library,!
and the Sidewalk society. She had
better sense than my father, andj
he respected it, leaving all moral '
