that the city la spending $11,000 extra
on the Beaver Creek project this year.
Besides we all know that our county
debt Is almost paid off and so county
taxes can be lessened.
Neither (a It quite candid to say
,that school bonds are due In 1909 when
none are due until 1911. When bonds
are Issued for 10 or 20 years they may
be paid any time after 10 years, but
are not due until the 20 years have
expired. . - '
Mr, Henson Is" correct about the In
crease in pupils In school. We shall
need one less teacher In . the grades
next year, but that will not relieve the
pressure In tha high school. Does Mr.
Henson suppose that we can put the
high school pupils in the grades? Miss
Kuhn will promote at least 10 pupils
t the high school at the end of this
term.' We shall get 20 more from
other sources. . We shall lose 10 by
graduation. We shall lose 10 or 15
more In other ways. This will leave
an increase of 25 or 80 pupils In the
high school next year. It will be
more rather than less. We can't send
these pupils to the empty rooms In the
Little Brick or the White building.
What shall we do with them ?
The project of moving the Wrhlte
building to the Central grounds Is the
dream of a visionary. The school board
couldn't float bonds for such a pur
pose and If the school board adopted
Mr. Benson's Idea, school taxea next
year would be 12 or 15 mills on the
dollar instead cf eight.
Mr. Henson is greatly opposed to,
putting a new building on the Central I
grounds. Nevertheless, he woula move
the White building on the same
grounds and fit It up for a high school.
What would be the difference?
The proper way to get a building
for the Third ward is to sell the White
building and the Little Brick, both of
which are unfit to be school houses,
and use the proceeds to build a Third
ward building. La Grande' would then
have buildings of whic h to be proud.
I fear that Mr. Henson is altogether
opposed to a high school. Would it
not be fairer to kill it outright than
to cripple it? Three years ago when
the tax was id mills on the dollar In
stead of eight and it was proposed to
Issue bonds to build the Fourth ward
building, Mr. Henson did not rush into
print about high taxes,
The young people of 'this city must
have their high school education now
or never. They can't wait until taxes
get less. It Is their right in this free
land. No progressive community ever
voted to deprive Its children of proper
school privileges. La Grando cannot
afford to do so. ' What Is the uso'l.i
boosting if we are going to my to the
world hext Saturday that we are so
badly tax-ridden that we can't build a
school?
