FKBDBBIOKS M ....Publisher and Oeneral Manager HAROLD M. FIN LAY Bualneaa Manager Publianed evening, exception Sunday, at 1710 Sixth atreet, La Orande, Oregon. Entered at the Postofflce of La Grande, Oregon, aa Second Claae Mall Matter under act or March 3, 1070. THE LEGISLATORS TASK Whether or not the public schools of Oregon continue to function in even a small way for their part in progress and development of organized society of this state depends, a good deal upon action of the present special session of the state legislature. Some additional means of revenue other than dependance upon property tax must w concocted by our makers of state laws if current year activities of our schools will not necessarily be depleted, in some cases entire ly eliminated long before regular school terms are completed. And without some definite action now, greater disaster will be generally in prospect for the next year. Thla newspaper has opposed the proposed remedy from a privelcge tax and another for levy upon public utilities, financial institutions, etc., as simply new guises for the rejected sales tax measure. Under these pro posals the ultimate consumer would be taxed for necessities. Ratification of any such proposal by voters of the state has been proven impossible through a 4 to 1 declaration early last summer. - This newspaper does not fall to recognize however, the vital necessity of some other Immediate legis lation for school help. Some new form of revenue must be found that the purse of the state may relieve the serious situation faced in our schools. Why a certain per cent u go of the moneys now received from the gasoline tax eannot be diverted from highway funds to at least temporarily aid the urgent need of the schools seems difficult to believe except that bureaucracy strength, political control or what have you will Ideflnltely table any such measure aa has so far been proposed to the legislative sessions. Peculiar as it may sound in connection with schools, some of the moneys that can now be expected from liquor revenue, might, through channels of the statu general fund have been transferred to school help. Adversity can make strange bedfellows. But under the present plan of liquor legis lation aa aeeitis likely to pass the state law making bo; Its. it la the humble opinion of this newspaper the state will be fortunate indeed If there will bo any revenue at all left for any kind of fund. A measure that sets up an establishment that must call for an Immediate loan of over a million dollars most certainly estimates too highly the possibilities or revenue from what thla newspaper further .humbly believes Is far from the size of the suspected thirnty throats of our state populace. Comes late last night a new oil which proposes a special one per cent tax upon all personal net Incomes of over 500 a year, with revenue from flame figured to be around three millions of dollars a year. This revenue to go to the aid of the schools. Wncther or not this measure will meet the fate of other proposals for school ukl remains to be seen, it has some merit although a revision which would lessen the burden In the smaller brackets and increase it in the higher ones might bc-ur consideration. Out of this proposal may come a solution of at least temporary help until further consideration affecta a permanent plan. Financial inequalities among districts make the present property tax plan Inadequate for the- proper caring of school need and development even in normal times. There Is a definite tendency throughout the nation to abolish this type of tax as a source of school revenue. In this, as In other stateB, this trend will finally prevail but until it 'does we must, under present emergency conditions, find some means of other revenue to assist the plight of our schools. It Is upon education of the children of today, more perhaps than ever before, that depends the future and destiny of the country of tomorrow. The real load will fall upon the coining generation. If there ever wns a time when young minds need proper training and envelopment for the handling and conduct of tho future. It Is today. The schools of today must not fall or be hindered In their purpose. Citizens not only of this state but the country over are fast coming to recognition of that fact. More than ever before they want their children . kept In school. The legislators at Salem face a difficult task. They must fairly and In accord with what will be the approval of tlie majority concoct a measure and pi oh for school relief. Though realisation of this fact appears to have not crept upon them until the waning hours of the present session. It is to be hoped that some fair and favorable measure will be accomplished before the last gavel of the meeting falls. 3 Health SAFE VACCINATION Since the days when Jcnner proved that vaccination with cowpox will protect an Individual against small pox, medicine has struggled to secure vaccine virus in a pure form. The vaccine employed to Immunize smallpox is a living agent, belonging to the virus class. Viruses can be cultured or grown only In living tissues, derma, on the contrary, can be cultivated or grown In such substances us gelatin, clotted blood and potatoes. Vaccine for smallpox is made by subjecting calves to cowpox. The calves develop pustule, and from these we get the vaccine used against smallpox. However, the matter collected from tho calf must bo subjected, to much chemical and biological refinement, costing much labor and money. Fur thermore, the vaccine must be watch, cd constantly to see that It Is not Invaded by other bacteria. In recent times an Interesting pro- THISCIIRISTAIAS -Smith-Corona- Tllli PORTABLE TVPtWRITtR ccbs has been developed for produc ing email pox vaccine completely free of foreign bacteria. Since the virus of smnllpox will not grow In any other but living tissue. Instead of employing calves, In this newer tech nique hatching egga are used to pro duce the vaccine. Chicken eggs which have been fer tilised and Incubated for about 10 days are selected. The outer shell la drilled through so aa to produce a minute hole. Through this opening a small quantity of the virus of smnllpox Is Introduced. The hole is scaled with wax. After several days the eggs arc opened and tho embryo or develop ing body of the chick and Us attached membra lies are extracted.

Over The Valley Personals Mild Winter Ahead If Dr. Abbott Is Right (Continued from Page One) month, with precipitation at 2.5 In ches and a lot of It was rain. Just : to get down to the exact day, Deo, o, 1910 saw a maximum of 43 and a minimum of 31. Dec. 6, 1033 saw a maximum of 48 and a minimum of 331 January, 1911 was; another mild winter month, with tho warmest weather 60 and the low four above zero, snow amounted to two and a quarter Inches, and the precipitation ; was .05 of an inch. There were high winds on six days .late In the month. ! February, 1911, was a bit more win try, with 23' inches of snow, 1.23 Inches of precipitation, and a low of one below zero. But the one be low was on Fob. 28, and it was the only day during the entire winter that saw sub-zero or even zero cold! The maximum was 45 above, almost tho same ns yesterday's high In La Grande. The snow fell in small amounts during most of the month. March had a low of three above, made on March 1, after the sub-zero weather Feb. 28, and a high of 70 above. The month was quite warm, with a high mean of 56 above and a low moan of 29 above. Only traces of snow fell that month not enough to measure, and rain amounted, to less than hall au inch! All of Febru ary's snow melted early in the nwmth. The winter came back for a day. however, in April, with two Inches of snow recorded, but the month on the wholo, was warm with quite a bit of rain. Summing up the winter of 1910-11, then, records reveal that 36 inches of snow fell late In November, and during December, January and Feb ruary. Up . to Feb. 1. the snowfall amounted to only 13',4 indies, and the ground was clear most of the time. The weather was milder than usual, with not more than 10 days with the mercury below 10 above. The last of January was windy. So. if Dr. Abbott is right, you can look ahead to a mild winter, prob ably with quite a bit of snow in February, but with only a few short spells of cold weather. But remember, this is Dr. Abbott's idea, and the Observer Is NOT intik ing any precllctlona: If ' Dir Abbtfttt' is wrong, don't blame us!
