SUPER MARKET Pine-Central Point J jm 1 an Insupportable burden for property owncra. The academ ic problem Is the result of the demands o( modern society (or better trained cltlzcne, ' The Legislative Interim Committee on Education, au thorized by the 1859 legisla ture is making on intensive study in both areas with the hope of making recommenda tions to the 1061 legislature, the stute department of edu cation and the locul school districts, A study of school support In Oregon shows that until 1042 practically all of the (unds (or schools came (rom property taxes, part of which was (rom ' a two mill state levy which was distributed back to the counties. In 1042, (or the (irst time, part of the burden was shifted (rom prop erty taxes by off-setting this state levy by Income tax re ceipts. In 1046 the basic school support (und was established by vote of the people and this (und has remained aince that year as the primary source of non-district support of educa tion. As originally established the (und was intended to pro vide 50 per cent of school costs but in spite of two in creases, it now provides only about one-third of those costs. State Support It has been an accepted principle among those work ing In the field o( education that trie state should contrib ute approximately 50 per cent of the educational budget and that state (unds should be dis tributed, insofar as possible, (or the purpose of equalizing educational opportunity. To develop a sound program which will accomplish this equitably, however, has caus ed many legislative headaches and is presently causing some to the Interim Education Com mittee. Many things are in volved, and one of the great est difficulties is the (act that the only yardstick which we have to measure a school dis trict's ability to support its schools is the true cash value of the property within the district, and this is to some extent unreliable because of the difference in assessment practices between counties. Current assessment figures indicate that true cash value varies between school dis tricts from roughly $9000 (or each pupil in school to as much as $500,000. - We also know, however, that education costs vary widely also, depending on the size of the district, its geo graphic location, the breadth of the program being offered and the efficiency with which its funds are used. For instance, a levy of six mills would produce $54 per pupil in a district with $9,000 true cash value, while it would produce $600 in a $100,000 district. However, the poorer district may be spending only $300 to educa'3 each pupil whereas it may cost the wealthier district $600 or even more. Distribution Formula A formula for distributing state funds must take all of these things into considera tion. It is also contended by some that It should consider the demands upon the local tax dollar for other govern mental services which are ad mittedly greater in a metro politan area. This would mean, in effect, that the rest of the state should help to pay for Portland's recreation center 'and zoo, which, inas much as these things were ap proved by the Portland vot ers, would logically appear to be their responsibility. It Is also asserted that those counties which have O and C funds, which are used to de fray local government expens es, are better able to support their schools from their prop erty tax levies than counties without these funds. Since Jackson county is far removed geographically from the scat of government and from the centers of popula tion, it behooves us to be con stantly on the alert to make certain that our interests are fairly represented. At' the same time we must accept the fact that education is a state responsibility and as a part of the .slate we should be willing to work for reasonable solu tions in the Interests of a sound and equitable approach to our problems. Next Meeting The Interim Education com mittee will hold its next meet ing in Medford on Aug. 5 and 6. As the representative for Jackson county on that com mlttee I would welcome com ments from citizens which would guide me in making the decisions which I must make. Any person interested is In vited to attend the meetings at the Hedrick Junior High school. . MANY USES Bismuth is used in many remedies (or indigestion.

BandwagonWorks After Election Washington (Science Serv- ive The "bandwagon" tech nique, credited with swinging votes to Senator Kennedy in the Democratic convention, gets whatever power it has from the American's respect for the opinion or decision of the majority. The greatest influence of the "bandwagon" is seen after an election, not before the nomination. On the eve of an election, voters are embroiled in the most heated arguments, apparently bitterly irreconcil able over the rival candidates. But as the sun comes up the morning after, all disagree ment has vanished with the mists of dawn. Everyone sup ports the winner! What ever influence the bandwagon" technique has before an election or before the election of a party candi date is applied by convincing the voters or the delegates that some one candidate al ready has the majority of votes committed to him. This influence also shows up when you hear a politician stale, I shall support what ever candidate is nominated by this convention." This bowina! to the will of the majority, which is so all pervasive among American citizens, is not understood at all in many other parts of the world. In Russia, for example, the citizens believe in an absolute truth" handed down to him from above as . the Party line." If a man's opinion differs from this line, it does not matter how many people share the same opinion all over the world, he knows that he must be wrong, the Party is right.
