By CHARLES Taxpayers of Roseburg' school district, No. 4, will be called upon tomorrow, Wednesday, May 14, to decide whether the Highest school budget in the district's history, as proposed by the budget committee, is to be adopted. The election is to be held between the hours of 2 and 7 P. M. at the Junior High School building. Only taxpayers may vote. No prior registration is required. Should a voter's qualification be challenged, he would be required to show that he pays taxes on real estate, merchandise, personal property, or owns stock in some corporation doing business and paying taxes within the school district. We have discussed the budget at much length in this col umn and in news columns during the past few days. We have endeavored to present a complete and accurate picture of the district's financial situation. We have made a sincere effort to present facts and figures whereby every person called upon to vote at the election could have full Information upon which to rest his decision. We believe it important that every voter bo cognizant of the fact that the budget, if his tax bill next November. He fact that failure of the budget the district's educational program and force elimination of many departments and services. The sad part of. the current school budget issue is the mouth-to-mouth campaign of misleading information. We have heard numerous tales of school board "extrava gances," and accounts of how money in the proposed budget will be used '-'unwisely." There can be differences of opinion, naturally, regarding how much money we should spend in operation of our school system. There are patrons who frown at so-called "frills" and would confine our educational pattern to bare essentials. On the other hand, some patrons want more emphasis upon athletics, while still others propose ait extensive schooling in crafts and trades. The tentative budget offers' a more-or-less middle-ground pattern. Differences of opinion are desirable, when honestly and sincerely presented, as they load to greater efficiency and economy. Untruth, exaggeration, or careless talk concerning a matter as important as the school budget and school sys tem can be Very dangerous. Some people,' who will not make an effort to study or analyze statements heard on the street, are apt -to accept irresponsible utterances for .truth. We would urge anyone who has a real doubt in his mind, or who is disturbed by some rumor or statement he has heard, to con tafct school officials. Our school officers are anxious that the budget be presented in a fair and. truthful manner. They will gladly, explaiii the necessity for any appropriation proposed in' the budget. . . . j It is not essential that a voter be in agreement with the explanation given by school officials. For instance, some voters may have an honest disagreement regarding the ne cessity for proposed salary increases. School officials will show there is extreme competition for services of competent, experienced teachers; that Roseburg's proposed salaries parallel the stato average; that many schools in districts of even smaller size are offering better salaries than those proposed at Roseburg; that if salaries are not kept at levels prescribed by the budget, it will be extremely difficult to secure a staff of qualified instructors. Voters should keep in mind the fact that the district's enrollment has more than doubled since the war and is con tinuing to grow. Each addition, to a family means more expense, and so it is with our schools. When the family grows faster than the rate of income, the wage-earner must find sonic means of raising additional money. That is equally true of the school district. State law limits the school dis' trict's income to an increase of 6 per cent annually. But with enrollment increasing from 10 to 15 per cent annually, in come and growth are out of proportion, particularly when wnges, material costs, etc., are at an all-time high. The question, as we sec it, is whether we can afford to pay the cost of progress, or whether, as an alternative, we desire tax economy at the expense of educational opportunity. It is a question no qualified voter should shirk. Every tax payer eligible to vote at tomorrow's school election should record his decision. Permits to be Revoked To Halt Overgrazing - wASmNmnN.

HOBDAY'S Shoe Renewing Camp Fire Girls Advised on Plans For Kilowan Fun Roseburg Camp Fire Girls and BlueDirds who are planing to at tend Camp Fire Camp at Camp Kilowan, near Dallas, this sum mer are asked to make their res ervations by leaving a deposit of $2.00 with their guardian or with Mrs. W. A. Allen at 130 Blakeley street by Saturday afternoon of this week. Making a reservation this week will Insure the local girls of camp time during the month of July. News that the Camp Kilowan schedule had been completed was reecived by Mrs. Frances Ellison, local Camp Fire Council presi. dent, just a few days ago. It is hoped that Roseburg girls will be able to attend camp this sum mer during the month of July and reservations are being ac cepted in Salem beginning May 15. In order that local girls may go during July it will be neces sary for deposits to.be sent to Salem Immediately to reserve this time. - . Transportation Arranged . Balance of the fee for camn. which will be $11.50 for a single week or $25.00 for a double week. is payable at camp upon arrival. Transportation is to be furnished to and from camp Dy Luther Kill- son in a school bus with a small charee for this service. If girls eo other than the scheduled time for Roseburg girls, it is necessary for them to arrange their own trans portation. On event a girl registers for Camp and is unable to go, her de posit may not be refunded but can be transferred to another girl not already registered. Last year nearly 70 girls at tended from Roseburg. If girls do not register this week for camp they may still at tend, but it will be necessary for them to arrange their own trans portation and probably go at some other scheduled camp time other man July, scneouics Degin juiy to July 23 for double weeks and July 23 to July 30 for single camp week. Bluebirds are also included in 1he Camp fun and may at tend as well as the older Girls. Mi's. Allen stated. Included in their aetivtics arc well supervised swimming, volley ball, archery, other sports, handi crafts, nature trails, overnight hikes, outdoor cooking, singing and making new friends. Thinks Proposed Budgets For City Expenses and Schools Should be Pared In the last several weeks there has been considerable heated talk about the new ; budget for our schools and for the city. Many items appear on the school bud get which could be discussed more at length, and the same might be said of the city budget. The old saying is "your must learn to crawl before you can walk," but from the size of these budgets one can only infer we arc trying to run before we have learned to crawl. The average person on reading either of these budgets must be completely confused. Among the items which I think should be further discussed is the $3,000 for maintenance of the airport, in which we have invested about $75,000, and which is rented for $1,000 per year (incidentally, which would make a wonderful industrial site) and the added cost of consolidation of the treas urer and recorder, the necessity for municipal judge, and the rea son why it is necessary for two: policemen to collect money from tne parsing meters. In our school budget (and I will concede again the necessity for keeping our school system up), I note an item for $6,000 for li brarians, $45,000 for school, lunches, which 1 understand is al set by a $15,000 income from lunches, but a further item of sev eral thousand dollars, for a dieti tlon and cooks. Is there any rea son why the school lunch pro gram can't be made self-supporting? Unfortunately wc have been voting either by legislative enj at'tment or by special elections' Numerous taxes, five text books and free paper, nil of which have been passed edher as a vote get let or because California o( Washington does the same thing nun men wnen nn nnnnrtnnitu lo puss a sales tax Is given to us?' many of our school teachers and ' other persons object to it bri ! cause, owning no property, they 1 will have to help support our! schools. 1.1 I still think both the city and j school budget should be trimmed t to an absolute minimum, and ' while 1 believe that otir officers in charge of the budgets have' done an honest piece of work' from their point of view, I think LETTERS lo the Editor ,,j PRICES, FOR EVERY FAMILY, REGARDLESS OF INCOME - I'll .1 ROSEBURG FUNERAL HOME 'The Chanel vf. ihe Koses' , , . -. ' 0k and Kane Streets that further outs could be made, It is just possible these budgets will be rejected by voters, and then the-- will have to be revised. It is too late now to revise either of these budgets, and to make myselt rerfectly clear, I want to go on record as voting for the school budget in spite of its size, and against the city budget be cause of its size. B. R. SHOEMAKER, Roseburg, Ore. Reps Proposed Salary Items in School Budget I saw an Item, in Saturday's Da- per headed "School Tax 'Yes' urged by Elliott." This would be expected since It raises his salary about 33 l3'r, to $G0OO per year, the same as the City Council pro poses to pay a city manager. Sev eral state officials serve for less than this. Also the school budget proposes $5400 worth of secre taries for Mr. Elliott. The tax payers have a defense against this extravagance because thev can vote down this budget on May 14th, and require a new budget for less expense. No tax payer wno aoesn t vote against it should complain of his tax bill. f . K. PLAIT, 301 Third Ave., N., Roseburg, Ore. 'Too Many Frills' In Schools, Critic Asserts I think there are too many frills on our educational system that don't really amount to any thing, but take up time of the stu dents at cost to the taxpayers. I think it is time to clean house and discard the useless time con sumers that will never help the students to get down to the busi ness of earning their living and taking their places in the world. We are living in a very extrav agant age and "when winter comes we will regret it. MRS. J. MILLER, Roseburg, Ore. Magazines Delayed by Strike of Teamsters PORTLAND, Ore., May 12. tJP) The AFL Teamsters strike reverhrated in Oregon and Wash ington residents' reading matter today.

Newson) Fails in Third Af tempt to Win This Season By JOE REICHLER Asociatcd Press Sports Writer At the rate Bobo Newsom, Washington's self-styled 20-game winner is going along this season, he mav hp lllnlft, tr ntlont tha I neeessarv six trillmnhti hp nporlc in order to join the select list of pitchers who have won 200 or more games in the major leagues. The garrulous righthander has yet to gain his first mound win this season. Newsom was hardly at fault last night as he failed In his third attempt to register his initial win. He gave up only five hits and one run in eight Innings. Philadelphia came up with four runs in the top half nt the 11th to whip the Senators 51. .

The Dodgers made good use of 11 hits to clip the Braves, who dropped to third place by nine percentage points. No other games were scheduled. Fish Come Forth When Water Spouts in Ditch ' PRINVTLLE, May 13. tVPi Leonard Pitman was digging a ditch beside the ball park here as part of the city sewer sytem when he struck water. It gushed in, quickly forming a small pool, and the first thing Pitman knew two fish popped up and began swimming around. He caught them, took them around to show friends then went back. There were two more swim ming about. Pitman finally re-routed the ditch, and walled in the pool, where the fish still can be seen. FEDERAL POWER COMMIS SION, Washington 25, D.
