but it won't last long. The democrats will burst forth soon
Kinst Steiwer because he is looked upon as the only
republican senatorial candidate who can win, and the re
publicans will pick all the flaws possible in lie it Haney

aspirant. There will be a little fire and much smoke
with the promise of cool visibility again after May 21st.

LA WLKSS CHICAGO.
The killing of a deputy prosecutor in Chicago yesterday
fcy mnchinogup gangsters is a crime that appalls the normal
citizen. ' It is .true that Chicago is' a long distance from
Oregon and that it is a big city confronted with tremend
ous problems of government created by masses of popula
tion, but it is difficult to realize that such crimes can be
Committed In u civilized Americnn wimmnnitv. . !a tint fho
Hint time tnnt tho machinegun killers have operated in
Chicago, . On two previous occasions the gangsters have
resorted to the same means and nearly a hundred mm
dors are on record for the last throe years in the gang
und rum-runner wars. How long will the respectable, law
abiding citizens of Chicago allow such u condition to exist?
How many such crimes need be endured before the public
becomes aroused? . What nro we coming to? It is not as
if these were crimes of crazed minds, of incapable individ
uals! mentally unfit to be at large. They are crimes of
cold,, relentless gunmen, paid a big price to do their "jobs,"
without consideration or care for the law or law enforce
ment.' Their killings serve to terrorize agents of the law
and to place gangsters before the law uncontrolled, free
to do as they wish. It is not a condition that has just
come into existence in Chicago. It is not a new thing for
Chicago. It is something that has been apparent for sev
eral years and it is growing steadily worse, not better.
Chicago people certainly possess the power to cope with
the situation but they seem loathe to use that power. If
they continue in such lnxity, if they refuse to clean house
tor are afraid to clean house, the rest of the country should
force the issue. The safety . of society is in the balance,
the success or failure of future citizenship. If Chicago
can't change the present condition, the federal government
can and should.; If it's necessary to deport several thous
and suspicious characters to rid the city of a score of
killer? who cannot be convicted, the deportation can be
made. It wouldn't seriously hurt Chicago to undergo that
experience.

KvenhiK Ohcrvor:
Will you give Hpace In your pa
per to answer Sir. Coo of the Cove
high Hehool In r'trarl to the meeting-
at KroHty Hchool Iiouho there?
Several people! were out that night
lo hear the dlncuaslon on the sub
Jeet or forming a union high
Reboot at Cove, conxollihttltitf Cove,
Shanghai. Lower Covo, Klver View.
Krosly and North High vulley iIIh-
trletH. -
Mr. Coo was tuklng the ifrirma
ilve side onrt I the negative.' Now
from hi remarks hn In very nntch
rhufed and peeved over 1i1h ilefeut.
In all bin talK he only touched the
school law twice, spending most of
IiIh time playing the Koft pedal, ap
pealing to the public for ympathy
for the hx high cbool of the
county. He then touched upon a
part of section 605 telling tho peo
ple that the budget syHtem applied
to paragraph two of that Hectlon
Jand.lt guvo them a. right to vote,
jthlfl being a mandatory paragraph
linn urn mmn nuiuiiiiis amitH.
school dlslrlctH do not apply to this
paragraph In the union high school
law. He then referred them to. sec
tion f08: All laws governing regu
lar bchool districts und officers
shall apply to union, high school
dlHtrlctH and officers so far as ap
plicable. Now. Mr. Ooc. you have struck the
keynote. In section 60S und I would
say to you look up the union high
school law and jcc what sections
and pnragraphs are subject and ap
plicable to the regular district
school law. Yon know thero are
whole sections and many para
graphs that are not subject to tho
regular district school laws. Instead
of waiting until tho union high
school Ih created and then enforce
; It as. printed in tho school law of
i the slate, 1 think it better for every
I taxpayer to know the union high
'school law who lives outside of ills
itrlcts No. 1. fi. 8. H. id und 23.
The property outside of those dis
tricts Is the property of farmers
of 1'nlon county valued. at 15.43(i.
021 und the six high schools of
l;nlon county are trying to devise
some method or means to get the
privilege of tuxhig 1 the farmer's
property for their ov interest, to
keep tho poor farmers from organ
izing county high schools so that
higher grades may be taught In all
school districts und paid fur from a,
tax levied on the farmers. !
. Now If the six high school dis-
trlets get (he privilege of assessing j
a 3- lo 10-mUI tax on this prop- i
erty they can tell the farmer to go f
homo and milk the cows, feed the!
hogs, feed, the chickens and -water!
the sheep, then bring all of his
years of hnrd labor in taxes und j
give It to us. We, as tho six high )
schools, are the tux eaters and you j
aa farmers, are. nothing but tax1
diggers. Now If any fanner comes
out to defend their hnrd earnings!
you all set up n howl of protest.
You call mo a lawyer I have not,
taken on that degree yet. I am
only looking ufter the Interest of
the common people and to protect
their Interests, and the Interest of
good schools, as I am Interested In
getting ull tho education for our
money we can from a tax payer's
standpoint.
A I am a tax payer of Union
outity and you are not you agiiale
mor tuxes for the farmer to pay
and 1wj for tho six towns or six
high school districts. We. as tarm-
trs, nro paying this year to the
high schools of tho county the
sum of $:!, 242. 25, tho full cost of
education of all students above, the
eighth grade outside of the high
school districts, plus elementary
school fund.
We, as farmers and tax payers
iro satisfied to let well enough
alone and 1 -vlll say to you and
your agitators If you nro not sat
isfled we will withdraw thox $SC.

I am not fighting any high school
