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. .

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.
