18 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, ; OCTOBER 22, 1922 FIGHT IS PUHIED UN DUC Opponents of Measure Open Headquarters Here. PROTESTANTS LEAD VAN Offices Taken in Consolidated Securities Building for Di rection of Campaign. A state-wide fight against the compulsory education bill, to be voted cn November 7, is now in full swing-, d'rected by the Non-Sectarian , and Protestant Committee for Free dom in Education, which has gen- , tial headquarters in the Consoli dated Securities building, Portland. W. L Brewster is chairman and . Joseph A. Hill executive secretary and there is a board of directors composed of men and women promi nent in the affairs of the city. A branch in Eugene is in charge of Will G. Steel and correspondents are located in practically every commu nity of Oregon. Rev. John C. Faur of Fort Wayne, Ind., general secretary of the Ameri can Luther league, twice connected with the Lutheran schools commit- . tee in Michigan- during the fights against compulsory education bills in that state, has arrived in Portland and has offices with the Lutheran schools committee for Oregon, in the Consolidated Securities building. Bill Is Decried. "It is not very difficult to state ' what the outstanding issue in this campaign is," said Rev. Mr. Bauer, discussing the Oregon situation. "It is attempted invasion of religious and educational liberty by the pro ponents of the so-called compulsory education bill, which should be called 'school monopoly bill." It is an effort to put on your statute books a law of untested nature, which no state has tried and, let us hope, never will. "Lutherans everywhere regard .'.this attempt as a direct blow to their interests, directly being an ef- . fort to confiscate their property ,' without due process of law and would fight it with all the energy and resources at their command, no matter in what state it might be undertaken. It tiappens to be in Oregon this time, Michigan having repudiated a similar bill and Okla homa having failed to obtain 'suffi cient signatures to get one like it on the ballot. Our people are throw ing into the battle against if every ounce of ener.'-y they have to defeat it, in the name of liberty and free dom, guaranteed under the consti tution of tlxs United States. We have faith in the fairness of the large majority of Oregon voters and anticipate they will never tolerate this measure to be voted in." Speakers Are Hooked. The Seventh Day Adventists are represented on the committee by H. U. Thurston, who stated that they are arranging to cover the entire state by speakers who will lay facts before the voters as viewed by this denomination and other Protestant organizations co-operating, in the fight against the bill. ' "To Seventh Day Adventists pass age of the proposed school bill would mean that those sacred prin ciples which made the United States the best government upon earth had been repudiated and the tyranny of the dark ages reinstated," said Mr. Thurston. j , "It would mean a serious blow to the missionary programme to which, in common with other Protestant bodies, we aro committed. We could use every child in our denomination in this effort; but if they are to be . of greatest value they must have special training in addition to the elementary branches taught in the public schools. They must add bible doctrines, strong instruction in hy giene, temperance and health, and practical industries designed to make them resourceful when pio- . ntering amid darkest heathenism. ' Rights to Be Guarded. "We would not stress the invest ment involved in our educational system, though it is by no means inconsiderable; for, after all, money is as nothing compared to human rights. We believe we have both a God-gi 'en and a constitutional right to determine the purpose with which we educate our children, and no man or set of men may Justly inter fere so long as we are law-abiding citizens. We would not deprive oth ers of a similar right to make use of the public schools. We have no fight to make against the public schools, and neither, we believe, has any other agency opposing this bill. J We only wonder if such charges are I not made -with deliberate intent to befog the real issue in the minds of voters." OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR MULTNOMAH COUNTY, NOVEMBER 7, 1922, PRECINCT NO.

AUTHORITY IS SOUGHT 83,000,000 Required for Con struction Proposed to Handle Rapidly Growing Traffic. One of the vital traffic problems of the city will come up for solution at the coming election, when the people will be asked to v-Ojte upon the question of construction of a new bridge across the Willamette river at Burnside street, to replace the old Burnside bridge, which has already been under restricted traf fic regulations for more than a year and is rapidly approaching a condi tion making- condemnation neces sary, according to officials of the Burnside Street association and other bodies now working in the ' interests of the new bridge. With trans-river traffic increas ing by leaps and bounds and with the old Burnside street bridge about to go out of commission, seri ous congestion that will impede the entire business activity of the city 1 will undoubtedly result if nothing is done to replace the tottering structure, the new bridge advocates declare. Big Bridge Is Proposed. The new Willamette bridge at Burnside street, according to plans which have 'been prepared, would be 90 feet in width and capable of caring for a tremendous volume of street car, motor vehicle and pedes trian traffic. It would be erected high enough from the water to allow for passage of ordinary sized vessels without interference. The structure would conform to the lLaurgaard water-front development The Burnside street bridge is the central of the five bridges crossing the Willamette river and is the key stone of the arch of trans-river traffic, declare the advocates of the. new structure. The position of the bridge is particularly desirable! they assert, both from the stand point of traffic and from the stand point of the river itself. Because of the nature of the bank on the east side of the river, it would be possible to build the structure above the east side railroad tracks, thus eliminating all grade cross ings. It is proposed that the ap proach start at Couch street, swing ing from the grade there to the high level of the bridge by not more than a 5 per cent grade. Morrison Span Endangered. Arrangement for a new bridge at Burnside street is particularly es sential from the standpoint of street car service, it is asserted. Most of the street car lines com municating with the central east side are so arranged that they can cross by either the Burnside or Mor rison street bridges. Should the Burnside street bridge go out of existence nearly all of this traffic would be thrown onto the Morrison street bridge and it is feared that the strain would be more than this structure could bear. The fact that the Hawthorne bridge is proyided with wide-gauge track only would make it impossible for that bridge to aid In relieving the congestion. The railroad bfidge, to the north, being privately owned, would be subject to restrictions preventing excessive street car traffic, it is de clared, while the Broadway bridge is so far away as not to be able to help, so far as the Street car traffic is concerned. Thus this closing of the Burnside bridge, without making adequate provisions for replacing it, would throw a terrific burden on the Mor rison bridge, and should that structure have to be closed, traffic to the central east side, including Mt. Tabor, Montavilla, Park Rose, Rose City park and adjacent dis tricts would be practically para lyzed, it is declared. The sum of $3,000,000 will be re quired for the new structure, it is estimated, and at the forthcoming election' authority to issue bonds for this sum will be sought. The $3,000,000, it is stated, will not only pay for the erection of the span, but will pay for the cost of all ap proaches and for the condemnation of some property on each side of the river which is declared neces sary to carry out the general bridge plan.
