Unfortunately for the Oklahoma liiuideier whom the
officers forgot to execute last June, it was remembered
in December.
Just a few more days and Christmas will be with us
I'gain. And only about 98 per cent of the husbands of the
Grande Ronde Valley have yet to decide on a gift for
their wives.

chosen to capitalize his amateur football fame by hecomin:?

"COSTS MOKE WORTH IT."
- A large manufacturer on. a naiionally known product
carries the above slogan in connection with all his adver
tising, "costs more worth it," thereby telling the world
uiai nign quaiuy is always vaiuaoie, salislymg, and ceo-j . . .
nomical in the end. The same might well be said today of,A .' "'iil'Ton "inn ii

with ease in most school svslcms. it is tine, but H liwwuv
is sound and the sum total of results is gratifying.
We are constantly confronted with a certain hcktiiI- '-"' i' i'""'1"-' i w-ai io :
jige of people who deplore any school improvement, any''i"
more efficient means of education, because of the in
creased cost and higher taxes that invariably accompany
such moves. It is a fact not very generally realized that
49 per cent, practically half, of the taxes of the state of
Oregon are spent for schools. Fifty cents of every tax
dollar we pay the tux -collector is used for education of , the
coming generation. It's a huge amount, considerably out
of proportion to the number of people who show an inter
est in the spending of school funds by attending school
elections, budget hearings, etc.
Hut notliing we spend as a community or stale is more
worth while than this sum for schools. ; People somehow
are realizing that the educated boy or girl has two and
one-half times the chances of success in later life iwhiilt
is a statistical fact), that competition is becoming more
I'nrt more severe in the world 'of business, aj;i iciillure, am
limiiHuy wiui me iiicouipeieni and pooiiv iiaimd indi
viduals dropping by the wayside. Citizens who view tl
futuie century with alarm know that disaster can best be;
averted by sound eihication of future citizens. Try as we
may to economize anil cut expenses, when the average
school budget is studied there are not half a dozen items
that can reasonably be eliminated and the total of these '
is a mere drop in the bucket. :
The conservative citizen is usually the backbone of a
community, lie is influential in holding bail;, in seeming'
most careful consideration, in demanding that cvei.v phase
of progress be studied to insure that it prove .sound. Vet
there are few conservative citizens in any community who
fail to appreciate the value of schools and the value of
hetter schools. School improvements are slow to be n
ieil and there is always a tendency to let well enough
aione, but such a policy is wrong when it proes a handi
cap on the youth who must be citizens of the future. N-iioi.
constitute our largest tax burden, but who would eliminate
them? They will always cost more, as the demands of an
increased population grow. Hut they will always be wmlh
it if voters exercise the care and supcrvii-iou that is con
stantly within their power.
