influenced one way or the other,
it is a fair conclusion that for
eign policy will be the influencing
issue.
I
Dewey made-this:strikbig point
in regard to foreign policy:
President Roosevelt, powerful
as lie is, can not send American
troops to fight on lorelgn soil to
preserve the peace of the world.
That will have to be done by
CONGRESS. ,
A suspicious, unrrlrndbjb con
gress will be highly unllkij' to
buck up PERSONAL, commit
ments made by President Roose
velt, who has flouted eongreess
so consistently as to have aroused
Its deep resentment and suspicion.
There is general expectation
that even if President Roosevelt
is elected lor a fourth term, the
.next congress will be unfriendly
to him.
IE don't have to guess at what
will happen In that event.
We have a HISTORICAL ex
ample. President Wilson made In
ternational commitments without
the advice or consent of a con
gress that he had treated cava
lierly. Congress failed to back him up.
The result is history.
By Charles V. Stanton
THE Public School Support amendment, appearing as the
8th measure on the Nov. 7th ballot, is one of those meas
ures appealing to sentiment yet involving extremely tech
nical tax matters, 'which, if not properly coordinated with
the entire state tax program, could prove exceedingly diffi
cult to handle in future years.
Had this measure been submitted as a statute, thereby
being subject to legislative amendment, we could endorse it
without reservation. But, as a constitutional amendment,
it would become at least semi-permanent and could only be
changed or amended by a vote of the people. This fact de
ters us from the measure of approval we would like to give.
We are in full and complete sympathy with the purposes
of the School Support measure. Under existing conditions,
and in view of financial conditions we anticipate will pre
vail in the immediate postwar period when, we believe, in
tit comes will remain high and nrosneritv will continue, we can
I AT 1 0 I see little danger in this measure. But we are pleoVintr our
selves, if we pass this bill, to a definite and inflexible contri
bution to school maintenace, regardless of our future finan
cial condition.
However, there are redeeming factors even in the consti
tutional amendment aspects, for the measure would, as
Former Governor Charles A. Sprague says in the Oreuon
Stutesman :
establish, as a principle, state sharing in cost of
our common schools In substantial amount. Since the
principle would be meaningless unless tied to a figure, the
amendment Xixes 45 cents per child per day of attendance
as the measure of state aid. This figure is arbitrary to
be sure; but any figure would be arbitrary and no figure
would leave the amendment emntv of mcanine.
The legislature would retain full authority to determine j
methods of raising and distributing funds, finding newj
sources of revenue, etc., the only limitation being an arbi- j
trary state contribution of 45 cents per pupil per day.
The schools now receive from the state $2 million from
the 2-mill elementary school fund tax, $o million from in
come tax money diverted to school purposes and a compara
tively small amount: fi nm (ilP irnrlll,iMo uebrril fun1 TItifl
der the proposed amendment, the contribution, at the rate
ol do cents per pupil per day, would be about $13 million.
As we are now rawing $7 million for school support, the
NEW muney to be raised would amount to from $5 million
to $(! million.
, From this new money, $3 million would be taken to be
added to the $5 million ndv applied to property tax offset,
milking a total of $8 million to be used to ease the tax on
real property, leaving the schools from $2 million to $3 mil
lion Of NEW llloaev for iniDI-OVements. The SS million nrim.
erty tax offset would continue until 1950, at which date the
legislature would designate the amount to be apportioned
after that time to relieve real property taxes. '
the school organization in J9I2 secured passage of a
measure earmarking ALL SURPLUS income tax funds for
school purposes. The legislature, however, instead of ap
propriating ALL surplus income tax money, fixed a limit i
of !fr, million. ' In addition the state has been navinir the!

Armistice Day's
Observance Asked
In Proclamation
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 AP)
President Roosevelt, issuing his
1944 armistice day proclamation,
called upon the people of the
United States to rededlcate them
selves to the tasks of winning this
war and establishing an enduring
peace. The proclamation says:
Whereas the armistice of No
vember 11, 1918, marked the ces
sation of the battles of the First
World war; and
Whereas tho peace (las again
been broken, and we and our al
lies, uniting to reestablish peace
under liberty, have deployed our
forces by land, sea, and air, and
are confident of victory; and
Whereas under God we are re
solved that the victories of this
Second World war shall produce
not merely an armistice, but al
so institutions capable of estab
lishing a peace which shall endure.
Now, therefore, I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, president of the Unit
ed States of America, do hereby
call upon the people of the Unit
ed States to observe November
11. 1944, as armistice day by re
dedicating themselves to the
tasks of waging this Second
World war to a victorious conclu
sion and establishing an enduring
peace; and I direct that the flag
ol the United States be displayed
on all government buildings on
that day.

We aren't going to crawl out on
a limb and say that such and such
program will be heard, but, as
far as we know now up to the
time the paper goes to press
you'll hear Here Comes the Band
at 8, Michael Shane at 8:30 (our
own secret service reports this is
a .good show murder with a
light touch), and Sherlock Holm

ern in a surprising manner when
he collaborates with a "pistol
packing mamma" to solve the
"case of the Haunted Chateau".
A wealthy American widow, re
ferred to in Wyoming as "Two
