PATJE 15TGHT MEDFORD lfE TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, M02TDXY. NOVEMBER 6, 1933 BOWMAN TELLS HOW WE PAY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS American Education Week Draws Statement From County Superintendent State Should Aid Is View This la American katucatloa week ajid a fitting time to tell you how we pay tor our public schools. Paying for our public school Is a matter In which we are all Interested and In which mofit of us take & direct part. But it is a subject little understood by the average person. Section 8 of Article 8, Constitution of Oregon, says In part: "The legislative assembly shall provide by law for the establish ment of uniform and general system of common schools." In compliance with this mandate our state legisla tures In the past have done about everything possible except provide the necessary funds. There la but one fund which Is truly a state fund and which Is money actually coming to the coun ties from a source other than our own particular taxpayers. This Is known as the state school fund, more popu larly called the state irreducible fund, and has from time to time been built up out of the sale of the 18th and 8flth sections of lands in every town ship, which sections were set aside for school purposes, the proceeds of gifts made by persons to the school fund, the proceeds of property given to the state when the purpose of such gift was not designated, proceeds from tidal and overflow lands, escheata and forfeitures of various kinds, unclaimed bank deposits, ren tals of state lands, royalties and lease monies from sand and gravel pits owned by the state, end the sale of itats timber and lands. Cannot lie Used At the present date this fund atands at aDoroxtmately eight million dollars and ennnot be reduced In principal but. only the Interest on funds invested from it can be used. This year this Interest amounted to 1.11 per pupil for all pupils on the state school census of the ages of four to 10 Inclusive. pays toward the support of the public schools, yet It designates courses of study, requires the purchase of text books by the various districts, de mands certain certification regula tions for teachers, sets forth stan dardization requirements and says what subjects shall be taught In the course of study for the public schools. Education In Oregon has been cost ln approximately 100 per pupil per year so It Is easy to figure that the state assumes about 3 percent of the cost of the schools. Mchool Taxes, High mow you mny wanner wnore mo other 08 percent comes from. If you are a taxpayer, you know that your i school taxes are high and that you always have school taxes to pay. It is Interesting to stop for a moment and consider Just how these taxes are autaessed and how they are distributed. The second source which the tax psyer In each county must psy is known as the state elementary tax, oalled a state tax merely because a state la says that each county must pay It. This tax Is a two mill tax on the entire property valuation of each county. A strict compliance with the law would cause this money when collected to be sent In full, as no de linquency Is permitted, out of the first monies received by the county treasurer to the stats treasurer, who In turn sends it iback to the county treasurer, for redistribution to the school of the county on the basis of the number of elementary teachers employed . In practice the mocey Is kept by the county treasurer In the county and merely reported to the state apd Is distributed as stated above. In Jackson county this two mill tax has been raising for the schools between 60.000 and 170.000 yearly. The total amount is divided by the number of teachers working In the elementary schools (not In high schools) and each school Is given this amount for ach elementary tescher employed. Levied Karri Year Ths county school fund la required by state law to be levied by the coun ty court each year on the basis of the number of boys and girls on the school census from the ages of 4 to 18 Inclusive. Jackson county has levied 10 per census pupil which In round numbers in this county amounted to l 00,000 per year. This bears its share of tx delinquencies and In recent years has paid ifl or 10 per pupil avctually. When the state Irreducible fund, ths state elementary fund and the county school fund do not produce enough money (and they seldom ever do), to run a school, then ths tax payers of that particular district must vot a special levy upon themselves to make up the difference. In Jack son county tills wpeclnt levy has rang ed from nothing to 21 mills and con stitutes the heavy burden of school . taxation resting upon our taxpayers. Any further stats help or federal aid that may eventually come by the re organisation of our school finance on better and more equitable basts will relieve this special school tax which at present Is so necessary to the maintenance of ths public schools snd is so hsrd to pay. Tou ais no doubt wondering where ths O. and O. money comes from. This In itself Is an Interesting atory which we would like to tell you In somo later article, but for the present Juit remember that when you spenk or O. and C. money you are merely speaking of Uncle Bam as a taxpayer like Anyone else In those districts in which he still owns the lands that he took from the railroads a number of yeari ao and upon which lis pays like anyone else the taxes levied In that particular district. No. we havo not forgotten the high school tuition fund which only comes to those districts supporting hlgi schools hi which pupils from ths non IiIrIi school territory of the county at itnd. it Is la payment of tulUou claims for these pupils that the high school districts get this money which Is raised by a special mlllage levy upon all the property of the county not embraced in any high school dis trict. Other Revenue Small Soma districts get a few dollars toward running their schools from gifts, from charging tuition for pupils who do not reside In their district, fro mthe sals of property, unused school buildings, or lands which they may have acquired in former years. But this Is a negligible source. Ths stats legislature will meet soon In special session. It will be ssked to find some better way to finance the schools that will relieve the bur densome special district tax. There Is no question but that ths state as a whole should throw Its resources back of the schools rather than to leave 8 of every $100 of the cost of the schools with the people of the Indi vidual counties and a large portion of that 198 to be borne by the people of the Individual districts. Schools sre entitled to a sane busi ness management, the same as any other undertaking. A clear under standing of the situation as ws have tried to set forth in the few preced ing paragraphs should help you to accme mat you are in favor of a more substantial state support for the public- schools of Oregon.

Portland Produce Crime In Jackson county at the present time centers In turkey, wood and gasoline thefts, according to ths authorities. There also have been re ports of theft of auto keys left in cars. It is presumed the key stealer will return some night and take the auto, which as yet has not occurred. Annual raids on turkey flocks have started, according to the sheriff's of fice. The turkeys are now saleable, with ths approach ot Thanksgiving, Ths stats police and sheriff's office have been working on the turkey stealing cases and arrests loom. It Is hard to catch a turkey thief as all turkeys look alike and are hard to identify. The samo applies to wood. If a farmer has 3800 head of turkeys, he does not miss the loss of 160 or 200 birds, for two or thre days. This gives the thieves a chance to dUpose of the feathered loot be fore It is known. Identification is doubly difficult If the birds are dress ed, so no time Is lost In peeling the feathers off. There is evidence that the turkey atealtng is on a light wholesale basis. t The wood stealing is mors nersonal than commercial, the authorities say. a woodcutter will pile the fruits of nis moor in a clearing, and notes some morning that a cord or so has disappeared during the night. Most or this petty thieving Is done by peo ple too lazy to cut their own, but the wood cutter Is Just as mad as If it was hauled to town and sold at re duced rates, which has been done. The gasoline stealing Is largely from the residential areas of this city, and la attributed to autolsts whose cara are larger than their pocketbooks. Unless the garage Is locked, ths pur lolner will enter with his can and hose. Most or the draining is done from autos parked in the atreet how ever. Sheriff Olmscheld said this morn ing, that while turkeya. wood, and gaaollne were the main Heme, It waa not wise, to leave anything not nailed down. OF PORTLAND, Nov. e.

Rlgsa waa arrested Sunday for atealing automobile accessories and parta. Several ptecea of property were recovered, officers said, before the owners knew they were missing. The arrest waa made on East Main atreet Sunday. BIRTHS district's attorney's office say, were allied to sign the affidavit, follow ing the conviction of Peru In 13 min utes by a Klamath county Jury. All three were in the Klamath count? Jail at the time. Brecbeen and Mc Kl trick refused then, and the request has been repeated sines their incar ceration In the "big house.' The af fidavit was intended to be the basis of Fehl's proposed appeal, and mo tion for a new trial. Fehl, under the parole law, will be eligible for parole when he has served two thirds, or 32 months of his four year sentence. Like all others, behind the grim grey walls, Fehl is hopeful of early executive clemency or parole. Deputy KelLson learned during hla stay In Salem that Banks and Arthur LaDieu, his former business aide, were "not hitting It off so well as cellmates." Fehl was Banks' first cell mate, but they did not get along as well as they did, when keeping Jack' son county agitated. LaDieu bss t clerical position. Both Banks and Fehl expected to continue their "writings" in prison, but were restricted to ths prison sl- lowance of the weekly letter to friend or kin. Banks published a pamphlet while In the Lane county Jail, and had another one nearly ready, when he started serving time. It has never been circulated. Fehl is stiU attached to the 'Jni tor brigade"; Banks is employed in the prison laundry, with alternate days or "hard work" and "easy work A local attorney consulted with Banks last week on matters in connection with his local business affairs. He re ports Banks cheerfully philosophical, expectant of an early release, and still nursing his martyr complex. Time for the filing of appeal pa pers for Walter Jones, former mayor of Rogue River, serving four years for ballot theft, expired October 8 Any future action on this line rests with his counsel. Alvin Tollefson, former cashier of the Central Point bank, serving two snd one-half years for perpretratlon of a bank robbery hoax, will be eligi ble for parole next month. Tollefson, a model prisoner, Is assigned to the receiving room of the prison. Prison officials reported that all of the Jackson county representation under their keeping, are behaving themselves. Hugh DeAutremont, Sls- klyous Tunnel confessed slayer, and William Donahoe, habitual criminal, sentenced for attempted extortion by torture, sentenced to life terms from thla county, have been recent occu pants of the bull-pcn.' They plotted an escape on July 4, 1932, during a ball game. 4 SELECT JURY FOR FV.FI TELLS LIONS CLUB OF Bryan Conley. senior vice eommaii' der of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, wu speaker today at the noon lunch eon of the Lions club at the Hotel Holland, having arrived from Salem.
