The public school system of the State of Oregon is primarily supported by levies on the assessable general property. During the decade 1920-1930 the taxes levied on general property for public school purposes have increased from a little more than 14 millions to almost 20 millions, an increase of 40 percent. The aggregate levies for public school purposes in the various counties are with few exceptions larger than the levies for any other purpose, state or local. For the year 1928-29 weighted public school levies ranged from 8.51 mills (Gilliam county) to 25.63 mills (Lincoln county) on equalized rural values. For the same year average aggregate levies for public school purposes ranged from 14.45 mills (Crook county) to 38.49 mills (Grant county) on urban equalized values. Total taxes for public school purposes for the same year constituted from 27.74 percent (Clatsop county) to 63.92 percent (Deschutes county) of all rural taxes, and from 14.43 percent (Crook county) to 48.05 percent (Benton county) of all urban taxes. The problem of the equalization of the tax burden increases in importance with the increase of the levy. In Oregon, as in other states, the problem is twofold: inequality in burden be- tween counties and inequality between districts within the same county. Equalized valuations per school-census child on the 1929 assessment rolls varied from $2,287 in Josephine county to $11,290 in Sherman county. Interdistrict variations in many counties exceed intercounty variations in the state. There are two public school revenue laws in this state, the County School Fund law and the Two-Mill Elementary law, passed with a view to equalizing the interdistrict school tax burden. No attempt is made to effect equalization between the counties. Under the County School Fund law a levy must be made on assessable general property in each county adequate to produce not less than $10 per capita for all children within the county between the ages of 4 and 20 years. Under the Two-Mill Elementary law a uniform levy of two mills is placed upon the equalized value of all assessable property in the state. The County School Fund is apportioned as follows: $100 to each district and subdistrict in the county and the balance of the fund among the school districts in proportion to the number of school-census children. The Elementary School Fund is apportioned within each county on the basis of number of teachers employed in the first eight +.-..-.--.-.-.----.-"-"-..-..-.-.--.--..-.-..----.-. I I SUMMARY (Continued) grades in the several districts in the county; provided, that the number of teachers employed shall not exceed one teacher for every 30 pupils or fraction thereof enrolled in the first eight grades. The purpose of this study is primarily to analyze the effect of these two laws in the shifting and allocation of the EchOOl tax burden. Analysis of data indicates that the greater portion of the funds produced under the above-named laws flows back into the same school districts in which they are raised. In the case of the Elementary Fund more than 85 percent of the funds went back into the district in which raised and in the case of the County School Fund more than 83 percent of the funds went back into the district in which raised. In other terms, out of an average annual amount of $4,902,167 produced under the laws for the years 1927 1930, only $745,774 or 15.21 percent went annually into districts other than those in whkh collected. For the years 1927-1930, 24 city school districts with assessed valuations of $1,000,000 or above contributed in the aggregate to the County and Elementary School Funds $152,715.79 annually in excess of the apportionments received under the laws. Of the $152,715 so contributed, $125,851 came from city school districts located in the Willamette Valley. For the years 1927-1930, 45 city school districts with assessed valuations of $1,000,000 or over received apportionments of $243,358.37 annually in excess of contributions made under the laws. The effects of the County and Elementary School Fund laws in the shifting of the tax burden are to a high degree supplement. ary. The districts in which the effects of the laws tend to counter- act one another are for the most part border-line casesthat is, districts in which the levies made under the laws very nearly equal the apportionment received under the same laws. The Elementary law supplemented the County School Fund law in excess apportionments by an average annual amount of $302,389.00 for the years 1927-1930, and counteracted the law by an average annual amount of $18,735.22. - The average annual excess apportionments for all counties under consideration in this study for the years 1927-1930 aggregated $745,774.33. These excess apportionments were made to 1,214 school districts in the state. Of these 1,214 districts, 725 districts had general school levies, includin.g Special District levies, Union High School levies, and High School Tuition Fund levies, below the average for their respective counties; 376 districts had assessed valuations above the average per school-census child; 300 districts had both general levies below their county averages and assessed valuations per census child above the average, and 806 districts had either or both lower-than-average general levies and/or higher-than-average per-census-child valuations. Incidence of Public School Taxation in Oregon with Special Reference to the Elementary and County School Fund Laws By W. H. DREESEN I. INTRODUCTION school finance presents two major problems: the constantly PUBLIC mounting expenses and the problem of the equalization of the tax bur- den for the maintenance of the public school system. During the past ten years the total taxes levied on general property in Oregon for public school purposes have increased from approximately 14 millions of dollars in 1920 to almost 20 millions- f dollars in 1930, or an increase of more than 40 percent.

Light levies are paid without much regard to the equality of the burden, and the whole subject is of academic interest only. But as these levies become heavier theoretical differences take on practical significance. The problem in Oregon, as in most other states, is twofold: equalization between the different counties within the state and equalization between the districts within each county. As the public school system in Oregon derives its support primarily from levies on the general property tax, the average valuation per census child in the different counties throws some light on the existing inequalities in the public school tax burden as between the different counties. Table II gives the equalized valuation per census child and the average levies, including County School Fund levies, Special School District, Union High School District, Elementary, and County Tuition Fund levies for the year 1929-30. 7 INCIDENCE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TAXATION THE AMOUNT OF EQUALIZED VALUATION Csus CHILD P 929 AS5SSMENT T2OLL3 COUNTIE5 o o a o 0 o o 0 0 o 0 a a 0 a a 0 o o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o A1<ER 5E NT ON CLACKAMAS CLAT5OP _.__._ EQUALIZED VALUATION COLUMSIAI Coos CROo< CuRRY DESCHUTE5 I DOUGLAS GILL I AM GRANT hARtlEY H000 RIvER JACI<50N JEFFEQ5OH JO5EPI-IINE ----1 I KL AM AT H LAIE LANE LINCOLN I LINN MALHEUQ I MARION MORROW MULTNOMAN PoL< 5HERMAN TILLAMO 01< --- I U MAT ILL A UNION WALLOWA WASCO WASHINGTON WNEELER YAMI-IILL I 0 a - 8 0 8 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 306 TABLE II.

With the exception of small amounts received from the Irreducible School Fund" public education in Oregon is primarily supported by levies on the assessable general property. The principal levies are made under the County School Fund law, Elementary School Fund law, County High School Tuition Fund law, and under district levies; the latter may be for either or both grade schools and secondary schools. The irreducible school fund is derived from the following sources*: 1. The proceeds of the sales of the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections of every township of this state, or of any lands selected in lieu thereof. Twenty-nirith Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Oregon, page 57. INCIDENCE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TAXATION 9 The proceeds of all gifts, devises, and bequests, made by any person to the State for common school fund purposes. The proceeds of all property granted to the State when the purpose of such grant shall not be stated. All proceeds of the sales of tide and overflow land. All the moneys and clear proceeds of all property which may accrue to the State by escheat or forfeiture. Unclaimed bank deposits escheated to the State. All moneys received from the rental, sale, disposition, or use of lands belonging to the State. All moneys received by the State under contracts made in pursuance of the provisions of Chapter IV, title XXXII, Oregon Laws, pertaining to confirmation of State Land Titles. Royalties from leases of sand and gravel beds of navigable portions of navigable streams within the State. The proceeds of sales of timber on State lands. The irreducible school fund must be maintained intact; the income therefrom only may be used. The distribution of income to the counties and in turn to the school districts is made on the basis of the number of children residi'ng therein between the ages of 4 and 20 years.* The apportionments made under this fund have thus far constituted a negligible amount, ranging from $432,276.88 in 1920 to $411,60.38 in 1930t or approximately 2 percent of the total amount expended annually for public education, grade and secondary, during recent years. Under the County School Fund law a levy must be made on all taxable property in the county adequate to produce not less than $10 per capita for each child residing in the county between the ages of 4 and 20 years.1: The County School Fund collected in accordance with this law is apportioned as follows: $100 to each district and subdistrict in the county and the balance to the districts in the county in proportion to the number of children resident therein between the ages of 4 and 20 years. Under the Two-Mill Elementary Fund law a uniform levy of two mills is placed on the equalized value of all assessable property in the state. The 'Oregon Laws, Section 4987. tTwenty-ntnth Biennial Report, Superintendent of Public Instruction, p. 73. IThe County School Fund law: 'For the purpose of creating a county school fund the county courts of the several counties of this state are hereby required to levy, at the same time other taxes are levied, a tax for school purposes upon all the taxable property of the county which aggregates an amount which shall produce at least $10 per capita for each and all of the children svithin the county between the ages of 4 and 20 years, as shosvn by preceding school census, which said taxes shall be collected at the same time, in the same manner, and by the same olliceis as other taxes are collected; provided, that the per capita amount so levied in any county shall not be less tItan the per capita amount of the school tax levied in the county for the year 1919." "The county school superintendent shall ntakc an apportionmetit of the entire school fund then in the county treasury on the second Monday in November of each year, and at such other times during the year as he may deem advisable. The county school fund, collected in pursuance of the school tax levied by the county court, shall be apportioned in the follosving manner: In November he shall apportion $100 to each district and subdistrict in his county that has reported to him as required by law. The balance of the county school funds thereafter remaining in the treasury, and any amount of such funds to be apportioned at any other time, shall be apportioned among the several d,stricts in h,s county that have -esnried o him as required by law, in proportion to the total 'number of chtldrett resident in each district betsveen the ages of 4 and 20 years,' as shown by the clerk's last annual Oregon Laws Section 4168. 10 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 306 Elementary Fund raised under the law is apportioned to the districts within the county in which it is raised on the basis of the number of teachers employed in the first eight grades; provided that the number of teachers employed shall not exceed one teacher for every 30 pupils or fraction thereof enrolled in the grades.5 The County High School Tuition Fund law passed by the legislature in 1915, provided for the raising of a high school tuition fund by a levy upon all the property in the county not included in standard high school districts. This fund is used in paying the tuition of pupils from non-high school districts attending standard high schools in the state. The amounts raised under this law have increased from $646,286.82 in 1921 to $1,404,659.72 in 1930.t All but four counties in the state function under this law; Crook, Klamath, and Lincoln counties with county unit organization, and Lane county tinder the County High School Fund" law are the exceptions. The special district levies for either or both grade and high schools are usually the heavier levies in the districts. The law requires that the revenue raised under this levy in each school district shall not be less than the difference between $620 and the amount received by the district from the county school fund4 Purpose of this study. The evident intent of the two public school revenue laws of the state, the County School Fund law and the Elementary School Fund law, is the equalization of the school tax burden among the districts within the several counties. No attempt is made in these laws tc. cross county boundaries and equalize the tax load between the counties. It is the primary purpose of this study to discover the operation of these two laws in the collection of revenue and the apportionment of ii among the school districts. No claim is made for absolute accuracy. Basic data used for two out of the three years under consideration were copied from the annual reports of more than 2,100 school-district clerks from all parts of the state. In most counties, however, these records had been audited and corrections entered. Data on joint school districts are least satisfactory owing vThe Two-Mill Elementary law: "Section 1. In addition to ihe provisions for the support of ihe public schools of Oregon now provided by law there is hereby levied, consniencing with ihe year 1920, and annually thereafter, a tax of two mills on the dollar upon all taxable property within the state of Oregon for ihe support and maintenance of the public elementary schools of the state of Oregon and the fund arising therefrom shall be known as the state elementary school fund. "Section 2. The county shall receive credit upon the amount of siate taxes required to be paid by such county each year to the aniount of said state tax hereby levied, and the county treasury shall on the first day of May and Noveniber of each year credit from the general fund to ihe state elementary school fund of his county one-half of the amount of the tax required by this act to be levied aitd collected in his county for that year. 'Section 3.

This law was enacted by a vote of the people in 1920.

INCIDENCE OF PUBLIc SCHOOL TAXATION 11 to a frequent lack of completeness of data on both levies imposed in these districts and apportionments made to them under the laws. In a number of countiesnotably Grant, Hood River, and Wheelerdata for four years were collected and analyzed with a view to obtaining more nearly representative results. Sources of information utilized. Data on the apportionment of the funds collected under the Two-Mill Elementary and County School Fund laws among the various school districts of the state for the years 1927-1929, as indicated above, were obtained from the annual reports of the schooldistrict clerks. Similar data for the year 1929-30 were obtained from the annual reports of the county school superintendents as submitted to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.* Information on Special District levies, High School Tuition levies and Union High School levies, was obtained from county assessors and from assessment and tax records in the office of the State Tax Commission. The maps are copies of school district maps as found in the offices of the county school superintendents and county assessors in 1930. No claim is made for the absolute accuracy of the boundaries of the individual school districts. In a number of counties changes in school-district bound- aries and consolidations of districts have taken place since that year, but as the data in this study cover the three yetrs preceding 1930, these maps are more appropriate than those containing the more recent changes. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the various offices and individuals who kindly and freely furnished the necessary information for this study. Special acknowledgment is due Mr. James M. Burgess of the State Department of Education; the County School Superintendents; Mr. C. C. Chapman, Editor of the Oregon Voter; and the members of the State Tax Commission. The author wishes to give due credit to Miss Rachael Williams for her careful work in making the almost unlimited computations in this study. Method of procedure. In order to discover the operation of the TwoMill Elementary and County School Fund laws, the primary purpose of this study, it was necessary to ascertain the amount levied on each school district in the state under these laws and also the apportionment received by each district under the same laws. The County School Fund levies were computed ott the assessed valuations of each school district, for the three years 1927-1930, for each of the thirty-three counties in the state having the district system of school financing and administration. The Two-Mill Elementary levy was likewise computed on the equal- ized valuation of each of the school districts for the same years, the assessed valuations having been previously changed into equalized values consistent with their respective county ratios fixed by the State Tax Corn*Detailed information on individual school districts was collected by the State Office of Public Instruction for the school year 1921.30. 12 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 306 mission. The three-year average levies under the County School Fund law,t the three-year average levies under the Two-Mill Elementary law,t and the combined three-year average levies under the two laws were thus obtained for each of the 2,126 school districts of the state. The apportionments made to the individual districts under the County School Fund and Two-Mill Elementary laws were also obtained for the three years 1927-1930. The combined levies, three-year average, were next compared with the combined apportionment, three-year average, for each of the 2,126 school districts in the state. Validity of data used. An explanation at this point of the relation of the tax year to the public school fiscal year in the state may not be out of place as it may lead to a better understanding of the data used and the validity of the conclusions drawn. It is a well-recognized fact in statistics that data numerically presented may be accurate whereas the conclusions deducted therefrom may be wide of the mark. The school fiscal year overlaps the tax year. In other words, during any one school year, funds are received from tax levies on two different tax rolls, or on tax rolls for two different years. The following facts chronologically set forth give a picture of the conditions. Third Monday in June, 1931. Close of district school fiscal year 193031. Beginning of school year 1931-32. November 1, 1931. County treasurer shall credit from the General Fund to the state Elementary School Fund of his county one-half of the amount of the tax required by law to be levied and collected in his county for that year. (Apparently the tax levied upon the 1930 rolls.) Second Monday in Noveniber, 1931. The county school superintendent shall make an apportionment of the entire school fund then in the county treasury on the second Monday in November of each year, and at such other times during the year as he may deem advisable. (Apparently funds from levies upon the 1930 rolls.) November 5, 1931. Date of payment of second half of taxes levied on 1930 assessment rolls. This payment includes the second one-half of the special school district levy on the 1930 rolls. March 1, 1932. Assessment rolls on which taxes are levied to be collected, first half on May 5 and second half on November 5, 1933. May 1, 1932. County treasurer shall credit from the General Fund to the state Elementary School Fund of his county one-half of the amount of the tax required by law to be levied and collected in his county for that year. (Apparently the tax levied upon the 1931 assessment rolls.) First Monday in May, 1932. On this date and at such other times during the year as lie may deem advisable, the County School Superintendent shall make an apportionment of the entire state Elementary School Fund created by the elementary school law and then in the county treasury. The three-year average data are used except where otherwise indicated. In the case of a few count,es four-year average data are used. In a few individual districts data for one or two years only are given. INCIDENCE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TAXATION 13 May 5, 1932. Date of payment of first one-half of taxes levied upon the 1931 rolls. This payment includes one-half of the special school district levy on the 1931 rolls. It is apparent from these conditions that the school year and the tax year overlap. The apportionment of school funds made, for example, on the second Monday in November, 1931, and the Special District School tax col- lected on November 5, 1931, are funds obtained mainly from levies upon the assessment rolls of 1930, whereas the apportionments made on the first Monday in May 1932 and the Special School District tax collected May 5, 1932, are funds obtained mainly from levies upon the 1931 assessment rolls. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the county school fund is affected by delinquent taxes. It shares with other tax funds losses due to delinquent taxes and likewise receives its share of back taxes paid.* Comparisons of levies upon the assessment rolls of any one tax year with the apportionments made during the nearest corresponding school year are therefore not strictly valid. In order to reduce the discrepancies to a minimum and to make the data as nearly representative as possible all calculations are based on at least three-year averages and in the case of a few counties on four-year averages. The remaining discrepancies can largely be accounted for by delinquent taxes and do not invalidate the conclusions, if it may be assumed that the percentage of delinquent taxes in the various school districts in any one county are approximately the same. The following case will illustrate the situation: The total amount levied under the County School Fund and Two-Mill Elementary laws in Benton county on the assessment rolls of 1927, 1928, and 1929, was $284,220.66. The total amount apportioned during the three school years 1927-1930 was $277,026.27, an average annual excess of levies over apportionments of $2,398.13 or 2.5 percent of total levies. Applying this to the data of Benton county, Table IV, indicating operation of the County School Fund and Two-Mill Elementary laws, the amounts under the first column 'Amounts by which Levies Exceed Apportionments' would in the aggregate be decreased by one-half of the $2,398.13 discrepancy and the amounts under the second column "Amounts by which Apportionments Exceed Levies" would in the aggregate be increased by onehalf of the $2,398.13 discrepancy. In other terms, the amounts in the first column would be decreased by approximately 5 percent and the amounts in the second column would be increased by approximately 5 percent.t IL OPERATION OF COUNTY SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FUND LAW STATISTICALLY PRESENTED Basic tables. In the following tables accompanying the county schooJ district maps the operation of the County School Fund law and the TwoMill Elementary law bver a three-year period is statistically presented. In The Two-Mill Elementary levy is a preferred fund and is not subject to reduction because of delinquent taxes. There have been few vtolations of this law. tOrte-half of $2,398.13 represents approximately 5 percent of the aggregate "excess levies over apportionments" and 'excess apportionments over levies" for Benton county. 14 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 306 the first part of the first column of each table are listed the school districts, numerically arranged, that had tax levies under the above-named two laws in excess of the apportionments made to them under the same laws. These districts are followed by the districts, also numerically arranged, that havc received apportionments tinder the two laws in excess of the levies made upon them under the same laws. In the second column, opposite the respective districts, are given the amounts by which the levies under the laws exceed the apportionments, and in the third column opposite their respective districts are given the amounts by which the apportionments exceed the levies. The author again wishes to emphasize the fact that the actual taxes paid by the district under the County School Fund law during any one year may be either below or in excess of the levy made upon it, owing respectively to delinquency in the payment of the tax and the payment of back or delinquent taxes. In the next two columns to the right in the tables are given the threeyear averages of the total combined levies of the Special School District levies, Union High School levies, and the County Tuition Fund levies by districts. School district levies below the weighted average levies for the county are placed in the first of these two columns and school district levies above the average for the county are placed in the second of these two columns. This method is followed with a view to indicating a correlation, or lack thereof, between the operation of the County School Furid.and Two-Mill Elementary School Fund laws on the one hand, and the combined Special School District, Union High School District, and County Tuition Fund levies on the other hand. As the evident intent of the County School Fund and Elementary School Fund laws is to equalize the public school tax burden among the school dis- tricts within each county, it appears that the intent of these laws is most nearly realized if those districts with low general school levies contribute toward these funds in excess of the apportionments received under them, and if those districts with high general school levies receive apportionments in excess of the levies imposed under these laws. The arrangement of the data will enable the reader to make the comparisons for the districts in which he may be interested. In the next two columns to the right are found the average assessed valuations per school-census child for each of the school districts within the county.5 in the first of these two columns are found the valuations of those districts which have assessments above the weighted verage for the county and in the second of these columns are found those valuations which are below the county average. This arrangement presents the relation between the operation of the County School Fund and Elementary School Fund laws on the one hand, and the tax paying ability of the school district as measured by the assessed valuation per census child on the other. Maps. The maps accompanying the basic tables have been added with a view to presenting a little more vividly the areas contributing to the The census valuations are based on the 1929 assessment rolls. Three-year averages would have given results not appreciably different. INCIDENCE OF PUELIC SCHOOL TAXATION County School and Elementary School funds in excess of apportionments received under the laws and the areas receiving apportionments in excess of contributions made. It is evident that to the extent that errors existed in the source material used in the calculations, the maps are in error. This applies particularly to joint districts. The legends on the individual maps are self.explanatory Those districts in which the levies sustained and apportionments received balance within fifty dollars are stippled. Those districts in which the levies ex- ceeded the apportionments by an amount exceeding fifty dollars are shaded with diagonal lines. Those districts in which the apportionments exceeded the levies by fifty dollars or more are left blank except for the number of the district. In the case of a number of maps it was found extremely difficult to locate the district boundaries. In the case of these maps special markings are used which are explained in the accompanying legends. The district numbers in these maps are placed as nearly as possible over the geographical center of the district. The maps are based on three-year average data.

In Table XXXVIII the three-year average effects of the two laws in the shifting of the public school tax burden are compared. The effects of the two laws are to a high degree supplementary. The districts in which the effects tend to counteract each other, although constituting a considerable percentage of the total, are almost without exception border cases-that is, districts in which the levies made under the laws very nearly equal the appropriations received under the same laws. The supplementary effects of the two laws in the allocation of the school tax burden, however, must not be confused with the equalizing effects of these laws. In Table XXXVIII the effects of the elementary law are compared with the effects of the county fund law as a base. The results would not have been appreciably different if the reverse procedure had been followed. It is evident from the data in the last column that in relatively few cases are the excess apportionments received under the County Fund law offset or counteracted to any considerable extent by excess levies under INCIDENCE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL TAXATION 105 the Elementary Fund law, and that in the case of three counties no excess apportionments made under the county law to any school district are offset by the three-year average net effect of the Elementary law. The net aggregate annual amount by which the excess apportionments under the County Fund law is supplemented by excess apportionments under the Elementary Fund law is $302,389. This represents approximately 14 percent of the average annual amount levied under the Elementary law. TABLE XXXVIII. EFFECTS OF COUNTY SCHOOL FUND LAW AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FUND LAW COMPARED.

The By city school district is here meant the entire school district including both the urban area and such rural area as may be included within the district boundaries. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 306 106 city districts so located have annually, for the years 1927-1930, sustained levies of $126,851 in excess of the apportionments received under the laws. The excess levies of all city school districts in the state with assessed valuations above $1,000,000, and having sustained levies in excess of apportionments received, have annually, for the years 1927-1930, aggregated $152,715.79. The excess apportionments of all city school districts that have received apportionments in excess of levies sustained, have aggregated annually, for the years 1927-1930, $243,358.37. TABLE XXXIX.

The evident intent of the abovenamed laws is to equalize the public school tax burden among the school districts within the different counties. The laws make no provision for any intercounty shifting of the tax burden. The object of the laws is therefore realized to the degree that the appropriations in excess of the levies under the laws go to those districts relatively least able to bear the tax burden. The term school tax burden, to borrow a phrase from mechanics, is a resultant of several components, and it is generally recognized that there is no ready-made formula to measure it. It is a composite of several factors, the cost of schooling the pupil and the ability to pay the school taxes. The cost of training the pupil varies, among other things, according to the number of pupils in the district, the expanse of territory within the district where transportation costs are involved, climatic conditions, the grade of building, equipment, and training provided. The ability to pay school taxes may vary according to the property valuation per census child, and what is not the same, per pupil enrolled, according to the degree of prosperity in and income of the community, and according to the tax load for other purposes. It is out of the question in a study of this scope to take more than a few of these factors into consideration. The two factors that will be considered and used as a basis of comparison are the valuations per census child and the general school levies including the special district levies, high school tuition, and union high school levies. In Table XL are presented data indicating the relation between the excess apportionments on the one hand and the general school levies and assessed valuations per school-census child on the other. The average annual excess apportionments for all the counties under consideration for the years 1927-1930, aggregated $745,774.33. These excess apportionments were received by 1214 school districts in the state. Of these 1,214 districts 725 districts had general school levies, including special district levies, union high school levies, and county tuition fund levies, below the average for their respective counties. These 725 districts received $215,962.44 or 29 percent of the total excess apportionments. Eight and one-half percent, or $63,334.23, of all excess apportionments were made to 376 school districts in the state with assessed valuations per school-census child above the average for the county. Six and one-half percent, or $48,866.17, of all excess apportionments were paid to 300 school districts in the state that had both general school levies below the average for their respective counties and assessed valuations per school-census child above the average for their counties. Thirty percent, or $221,401.83, of excess apportionments were paid to 806 school districts having either or both general school levies below the average for their respective counties and/or assessed valuations per school-census child above the average. 108 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 306 The foregoing disparities would be intensified by a further increas of the amount levied at a uniform rate on all the property in a county and thereby correspondingly decrcasing the amount levied in district taxes. The extent to which the tax would be increased or decreased in any individual district in any county may be tested by comparing the present district tax rate of that district with the average tax rate of all the districts in the same county. In proportion as a further shift would be made, the tax rate would be increased in districts with lower-than-average rates and decreased in districts with higher-than-average rates. For example, in Baker county the average district tax rate for the years 1927-1930 was 9.15 mills. A further increase in the amount of school taxes levied at a uniform rate in this County during these years would have tended to increase the school levies in all districts with district rates lower than 9.15 mills, and would have tended to decrease the school levies in all districts with district levies higher than 9.15 mills. 2.n oi :; ' -i :" MOO 0000 soa a o -J ons, O0 as, a 'o on 00 000000 : -ii a 0 soon'-. 0 s0000 000.000 0 0' 0 P ty under the two laws. and elementary school fund laws in excess of the levies made upon them under the same laws. ing apportionments under the county Number of districts in the county receiv- oNameofthecoun:y.

CONCLUSIONS The public school revenue system of the State of Oregon is unneces- sarily complicated. There are at best probably few important fields of public interest less well understood than taxation systems. This often leads to erroneous and extravagant ideas in regard to the amounts of revenue raised under the laws, inequalities of burden existing, and the costs of the agencies and institutions supported under them. Misunderstanding precludes constructive criticism and intelligent action on the part of the taxpayer and the voter. The public school revenue laws of Oregon have been amended and added to with apparently two ideas in view, one to constrain the people to provide adequate revenue for the support of public education and the other to assist the financially weak districts in the support of their schools. The first object sought to be attained, the raising of adequate revenue, could be accomplished as effectively under a simple law as under a mutiplicity of intricate laws. The simple law would have the merit of being understood by the great majority of taxpayers. The second object sought to be accomplished, the equalization of the school tax burden, has been attained with but partial if not questionable success. More than 85 percent of the funds raised under the County and Elementary School Fund laws find their way back into the very districts in which produced. Of the $745,774 average annual excess apportionments, $221,401 or almost 30 percent are apportioned to 806 school districts in the- state that have either or both lower general school levies than the average for the County and/or higher-than-the-average assessed valuations per census child for the county. The entire excess apportionment constituted less than 4 percent of the average annual cost of public school education, grade and secondary, in the state for the years 1927-1930. There are probably few states in the union with more varied conditions and hence problems affecting public school finance and organization than are found in the State of Oregonthriving and struggling urban districts, prosperous compact rural districts with high valuations and stable population, districts of wide expanse with low valuations and income and sparse and transient population, districts with and without valuable public-utility property and timber resources, districts that could be effectively joined and isolated districts. The solution of many of the problems growing out of the foregoing conditions will require the investigation of both the experts in public school administration and those conversant with taxation problems.
