1 IS OPPOSED TO
HIGH SCHOOL TAXATION'
EIHTOIt GlWIt!;
In reply to a letter sent out by a
committee of School Dl-t. N'. .
wish to say that the people of tins
place. Jntur-s:cd in sch-icl affairs,
do not approve of the plan of coun
ty lax to pav the tuition of all hixn
i i ii. in iho ,.niniiv Thcv be
lieve in providing for those desiring
higher education and realize that this
can be obtained by helping along
such educational centers as Eugene,
hut do not believe In doing so at
the expense of the poorer districts.
Every cent raised In a district for
school purposes Is needed In that dis
trict. The cities are always drawing
too many young people from the
country because the school funds are
Inadequate for the maintalnence of
even lower grades.
The committee appointed by the
Eugene school district makes an es
timate of the cost of maintaining a
hivh aA,mi in our district and points
out how we could sav 1700. Howi
about the districts that would "save' ,
for iib the $700. We would feel a I
little ashamed to take this amount;
from them. We know they need the.
tax themselves. "Have been there." I
Out of some 170 districts of Lane,
rountv, perhaps 9 or 10 might main-;
tain high schools. We dare sa.Vj
over half of the others would be,
taxed a hundred, two hundred dol-!
lars or more for high school tuition,
and no! have a single high school
pupil from tho district. Should,
there be any in a district desirous
of a high school course the matter of I
tuition would not stand In the way..
We admit that one or two places;
In tho county have to care for many;
P'.;p!!a really not belonging to their!
districts, but these places are conipen-j
sated In a way by money left In town j
by such outside pupils.
The districts that want or need
high schools are generally the richer!
one3 and can alford to maintain j
them. They should not ask sol
much from the poorer districts fori
the tuition of a few 'butslde high!
uknl not, lis Tho tinnliln hlira WOlllll
he pleased to have a high school hut
cannot ask that the lower grades
suffer for the Bake of the higher.
If !., t.j, ulKtu'iirl llw. fnnrt In
levy only on such property as 13 not
found In any school district we would
favor the plan, but we say again that
every cent of school tax raised In a
district having a school is needed for
that school. CARL FISCHEH. j
