What Do Schools Cost?
How much do local taxpayers ray for the opcrntion
of srhool. in Bend's school district?
There are two ways of looking at it.
First is the cost per pupil. For each student attend
ing the Bend high school, somebody must punglo up
5J73.99 per year. Not all of this, of course, comes from
local taxpayers. Over 40 per cent of the cost of the Bend
district comes from state, county and other sources.
(In the last year for which comparative figures are
available, the Bend district stood 3Gth out of 42 similar
districts in Oregon. In other words, high school costs per
pupil were higher than Bend's in 35 out of the 42
districts.)
For each student attending grade school, the cost per
year js S355.06. Junior high figures are not available,
since the current fiscal year has not ended, but the cost
probably will bo somewhere between the grade and high
school figures.
(Last years costs per pupil had declined here, al
though most districts in the state had found their costs
going up. It is reasonable to assume, then, that the costs
here ranked even more favorably than in the past. And
that was pretty good.)
So much for costs per pupil per year. How much was
the total?
To run the entire school system, including grade.
junior high and high schools, Central Oregon College, and
to provide such activities as athletics, physical education,
music, shops, homemaking courses, art, special education
and bus transportation, the school board and budget
boardjj have come up with a figure for the next fiscal
year. - .
That figure is $1,150,196.23.
Because of increased assessed valuation, this would
require an increase of approximately three per cent in
taxes on Bend property.
The residents of the school district; with only a small
percentage of eligible voters casting votes, turned down
the original budget proposed. I '
Those sarrs? voters, as well as thoso eligible who did
not vote fri the last election, will go to the polls again
Monday, Jun25.
It is hoped the turnout will be larger this time.

Mr. "Think" Dies ,
Mr. "Think," Thomas J. Watson, chairman of the
board of Internaiional Business Machines, died in a New
York hospital recently.
Watson was known as the ?G0 a month bookkeeper
who became a multi-millionaire. He built IBM from a
struggling little company to a world-wide organization.
Cut ho probably will be better remembered by many
as the man who put the big "Think" signs up around IBM
offices and plants, and who distributed them to IBM
customers. , '
Sidoshov Approaching
A Senate committee voted out a bill to authorize con
slrxction of a high federal dam at the Hells Canyon site
where Idaho IVOver Company now is constructing two
smaller dams, with a third on the drawing boards
A House committee was unable to report the bill out,
since Republican mepibers boycofced the meeting, and
held the bill in committee with a parliamentary maneuver.
There are a couple of things to remember in discuss
ing the Hells Canyon question. First, tlyg bills in the Sen
nte and I louse ore no test of the Eisenhower "partner
ship" proposals. There is no "partnership" in the Hells
Canyon situation. D is strictly a struggle betwPeri public
0"d private power adnexitis.
Second. We authorization bills in question do not pso-'-
vkio any planning or construction funds. They merely
signify the inti,t of Congress to have the federul govern
ment, rather than Idaho rower, build the structures.
Such authorization bills have heen up befotQ Con
gressional committees periodically smce 1947, back in thy
early days of Truman's first term. Kone'rias ever cleared
a committee before this time.
The Hells Canyon bloc in thg, Scnnffi Mrse, Neu
Urger, Magnuson, Murray, Kefauver, Douglas will
now have an opportunity to debate the bill on the floor.
The bill never has been formally debated before tho full
Senate, although the Congressional Uecord has been full
of introduced speeches on the subject made by members
of the bloc.

21 months in this remote, rallrond-

The story Stoaks brings back Is
as good an example as any of how
the .United States is trying to help

Tile Russian gumshoes' pitch to
sweeten up their prospect was,
tirst to give King Mohammed Za

cond lo give the capital of Kabul
a 100-bed hospital. Then the Hus

er was closed in the row ejer Pus-
