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.

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.

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!
