CUTTING DOWN TAXIiS
Tburo cnu bo uo question ot tbo
demand for tbo prosent tax payors
for n reduction in tbclr annual con
trlbutlon toward tbo oxponsu of
government. Dut thoro is room for
a dlfforonco ot opinion ob to tbo
ninnnor in wblcb tbat reduction
sliull bo secured.
Locally tbo principle object of
attack is tbo public schools, parti
cularly tbo High Scbool. In tho
stato tbu principle attack is being
dtroctcd at tbo Stato University at
Kucono and tbo Orogon Agricultural
College at Corvallis with its exten
sion scrvlco.
Undoubtedly it is possiblo to ro
duco tho operating costs of both of
theso clasBos of institutions. Tho
prlnclplo question thou Is how far
to go townrd a roductlou in our
educational plant, both locnlly and
for tho stato.
Iloforo tbls Is undortakon, how
ovor, would it not bo tbo part of
wisdom to oxamlno sonio other
sources to soo It vory inatorlal sav
ings could not bo inadu? It Bach
savings cau bo securod elMowboru in
tho governmental machinery, tlion
tbo nood for drastic reductions In
tho school Bystom will obviously bo
thus, roducod.
Tho Argus bollovos tbo roughly
that tho poopto of Orogon nnd of
Ontario do not want to Jeopardlzo
tholr educational Institutions, but If
too drastlo a cut is mudo in tho
appropriations for thorn that Is
bound to bo tho result.
It appears that tbo groutest ex
ception la taken concerning tho
Vocational courses. This Is Just
tbo opposlto position to that which
provailod a few years ago. Thou
tho iiuo and cry wns to substitute
for tbo cultural courses which pro
parod for collogo aud university
entranco, thoso courses which pro
parod tho student for actual busi
ness or other work in after life.
Away with Latin and drook, was tbo
rally cry ot tho rofonnora In educa
tion, aiva us for our cjilldron,
manual training, domestic sclouco,
agriculturo, bookkcoplug, typewrit
ing, and subjects which will glvo tho
boys and girls training In tho affairs
which tboy will como into contact
with on Saving school. Fow,
comparatively, will go to collogo,
and therefore why should tho stato
fashlvn its educational system for
them only?
Thoso nro soma ot tbo arguments
which wore hoard on oyory hand,
Just n fow years ago. In answer to
(hat demand such courses woro fur
' nlshod, and proved to bo popular
with tho studontu. So popular woro
thoy that today In n scbool of moro
than 200 only five studouts In tbo
Ontario High school nro roadlng
Caesar, whllo years ago every boy
and girl in tho socond yoar In High
school was reading tbo commontors
of tbo famous Iloman gonoral.
Now tho publlo, or at least an no
tlvo portion ot It, is condemning tbo
vocational coursos and wants thorn
abolished, Porhaps thoy aro right.
Tho Argus will not dispute that
point. Dut how can wo maintain
an educational system to obtain do
flntto rosultB it with overy chango
ot tbo winds of popular opinion wo
chango our school curricula.
No mattor what courso Is tnkon
In this mattor tbo public should
act only after duo deliberation.
Nothing shduld bo dono moroly bo-

causa somo group ot citizens want
that course followod. Aftor all tho
supromo test is what effect any
courso will havo on tbo futuro ot tho
boys and girls of tho schools. It
may mean a crcat deal to thorn,
moro porhaps than somo people
realize Abovo alt things lot tho
mattor bo approached without per
sonal rancor, and with tho solo ob
ject in mind that tho public school
systom, tbo vory foundation, bulr
wark and dofonso of popular govern
ment shall not bo wrockod.
DOUNT1KS IXIt ALL OH NONE
Elthor, tho Stato of Oregon, and
tbo peoplo ot Malheur county should
pay bounties for tho extermination
of all tho onomlos ot tbo farmor
and stockman or they should pay
for tho extermination of nono ot
thorn.
Wo can soo no reason why a
bounty should bo paid for tho exter
mination ot tho bob cat and tho coy
ote, and no bounty should bo paid
for tho extermination ot tho alfalfa
wcovll, tbo coddling moth and tho
cut worm.
On tho theory ot upon which
bounties aro pnld tho buslnoss man
too is entitled to consideration, and
a bounty or rownrd ought to bo paid
for tho arrest and conviction of
ovory check artist nnd dead beat.
It tho stockman as ono class ot
taxpayor Is antltlod to consider
ation nnd spoclal protection wo can
not soo whoreln thoro Is equality
boforo tho law.
If tho theory of bounties la nban
donod and tho government huntors
woro employed Mainour county
would oavo not less than from 17000
to $10,000 annually. That would
moan n saving to tho taxpayors of
Schdol District No. 8, of approxi
mately $1,000, or tbo equivalent of
reducing tho number ot toachcra
omploycd In tho grammar school by
ono.
' Dut that Is only ono fcaturo of
tho saving Bccurod by tho elimin
ation of tbo bounty systom, which is
wrong In prlnclplo. Undor tho
bounty systom thoro is uo end on tho
domand upon tho taxpayor, whllo
undor tbo huntor systom tbo pest
Is finally romovod. Furthermore
undor tbo huntor systom n sclontltlo
and purposoful campaign Is wngod
to got bonoflclnl results. Undor
tho bounty systom tho bounty hunt
or docs not kill tho fomalos, and
doos not hunt during tbo brooding
season. Tho roason for tbls is ob
vious. It Is Just as logical to expect tho
bounty huntor, or coyoto farmor, to
kill tho females on his torrltory as
to oxpect tho Bboopman to soil all
his owes or tho cattloman to mar
kot all bis cows. Following tbat
practlco tho coyoto farmor would
soon bo out of a Job.
Novada, Idaho, California amw
Washington havo practically elim
inated tho bounty, nnd na a result,
Orogon Is being mado tbo dumping
ground for nil tbo coyoto bides ot
tho West. This has boon proven bo
yond a doubt, and yot, so far as wo
bavo hoard thoro has boon llttlo do
mand on tho part ot thoso whdkfrro
demanding tax reductions that this
patent graft and absolutely waste
ful mothod ot combating tho coyoto
mouaco bo stoppod.
Bvon tho Btockmon, who ot all
othors aro intorostod, unless It bo
tho coyoto farmor, now commend
tho hunter systom. In tbo Docem
bor numbor of tho National
Wool Orowor au ablo ploa for tho
oxtonslon ot tho huntor systom nnd
a discussion of tho bounty systom
written by Hugh Sproat ot Dolso.
It shows tho chango in tho attitude
sclontltlo mothod. With this en
dorsement it certainly morlts tho
consideration of thoso who aro seek
ing taxation rollof.
