TUIUIITWOD'H HUGOIiSTIONS
Writing under tho nou do plutno
of Ernest Tolghtwod, n correspond
ont In roccnt Issues of tbo Oro
gonlan lias been relieving hlmsolf
of sundry suggestions for tbo tnx-
oat-us dlscaso which Is afflicting
Oregon. Tho latest obulltlon of the
Orogonlan's Bago obsorvor Is that,
in billiard parlanco, a rovorso
English bo placed on tho six per
cent limitation provision of tho
constitution.
In other words, that Instead of
prohibiting tho levying of nny tax
which will ralso moro than six per
cont aboro tho tax of tho proceed
ing yoar; tho constitution bo amend
ed so that no tax could bo lovlod
unless It was say ton per cont loss
than tho prccoodtng yoar. Ills
phflosophy Is that, tho way to ro-
duco is to reduco.
Undoubtedly thoro Is somo merit
to this nuggcstlon, If ouo bolloves
Hint tho mon olbctod to offlco havo
nolthor character nor ability, Tho
six per cont limitation was an
oridanco that tho pooplo ontortnlncd
Just that opinion.
Dut what has happondod under
that rory statuto? It has mado
ovory tax lorylng body rnlso six per
cunt each yoar bocauso each body
feared that somo contingency might
arlso which would nocossltato moro
taxes than previous years required.
Thds somo years when tho total
might haro stood still it was almost
automatically raised tho constitu
tional limit.
Tho roat hopo for reduction In
taxation lies In tho Improvement In
tho charactar and ability of tho, mon
.ilcctod to offlco. It Is Imposslblo
jmEONTABIO ARGUS, ONTARIO, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1922
for tho public as a wholo to dotor
mino jUBt what will bo neoded for
govornmontal oxponsos ana someone
must bo trustod. Tho thing to do
Is to got trustworthy men. Unloss
this is dono, oven with tho rovorso
English on tho limitations law, taxes
will mount, for tho pooplo will con
stantly bo called upon to authorlzo
Increases, and tho cbancos that tho
Bamo public would approve of most
of tho rises.
And then, too, what encourage
ment Is thoro now for capable mon
to run for offlco? Tho ono set o(
Governmental officials In Malheur
county, tbo county court, which has
shown n decrease In oxponsos during
recent yearn, has boon mostly sub
jected to abunp ana criticism. It
tho public Is to oxpoct good servlco
It should appreciate it. 1'ubllc
officials aro human, and how can
tho public expect to retain men who
actually work toward and nchlove
tax reductions, whllo constantly
complaining?
Every rpasonablo suggoslou for
tax reduction should bo glvon caro
ful consideration, ovon greater con
sideration should bo glvcu to tho
character and ability of tho mon
oloctcd who aro to ouporvlso tho
actual expondlturo of tho cash which
tho taxpayors Invest annually In
government.
thi: mien of i.iihjkty
Tho light that has begun on tbo
cost of education In Orogon cannot
bo consldordod In Its truo Inward
iifass unless an ngroemont 'is first
rcachod on tho following questiens:
What Is government? Why aro
govornmonts established among
men? What piaco has education in
tho schoino of government?
Thoro nro two groat authorities
on those questions, especially tho
first two. Thoy aro tho Declaration
of Indcpondanco and tho Constitu
tion of tho Unltod States.
Whon that groat nssombly of mon
in tho Contlnontlnl Congress, wlso
boyond their gonorntlon, declared:
"Wo hold thoso truths to bo solf

among Mon, dorlvlng Uiolr Just
powors from tho consont of tho
govornod.
They voiced thorcln truths which
aro now exlomatlo and acknowledg
ed whoro ovor civilization has rcach
od an enlightened stago of democ
racy.
Nor woro tho founders of this
government satisfied with that ono
nohio declaration of principle but
thoy again gavo voice to such an
high ldoal whon In tho preamblo of
tho Constitution thoy sot forth to
tho world this Inspiring paragraph:
"Wo, tho pooplo of tho Unltod
States, in ordor to form a moro
porfoct Union, establish Justlco, In
Buro domostta tranquility, provlda
for tho common dorgnso, promoto
tho gonoral wolfaro, and securo tho
blosslngs of liberty to oursolvcs and
uor postorlty, do ordain and estab
lish this Constitution for Tho United
States of Aniorca."
Qrantod then that theso aro .tho
objocts for which governments aro
established, how then aro wo to con
sider tho schools nnd collogos and
universities of our land? What othor
means havo wo tor (promoting
equality among our citizens? Aro
wo to say that only tho rich aro tb
bo oducatod? Aro wo to establish
a horcdltary class of oducatod
cltlzous and Bay thai only tho rich
sbnll havo thu blosslngs of knowl
odgo? Would that promoto oquallty
of condition or opportunity? Would
that promoto domostlo tranquility,
and Insure poaco and prosperity at
homo? Would such a courso
"promoto tho goncrai wolfaro or
socuro tho blessings of llborty to
oursolvcs and our posterity?"
Thoughtful citizens of this land,
wo bollovo, will agrco that tho
limitation of educational opportuni
ties to thoso who could afford to
pay tho cost would dostroy tho
vory foundation of our government.
Thoy will agroo, too, that In tho
promotion of happiness no substi
tute has boon found for oducatlon,
among clvlllvod ana onllghtonod
mon nnd women.
Thoso who would curtail tho ad
vantages of oducatlon aro sowing to
tho wind and would reap tho whirl
wind of revolution ana tho destruc
tion of our prosont govornmont. Wo
would not bo understood to say that
no curtallmont can bo socurod, for
undoubtedly many savings aro pos
sible and ought, ut this tlmo, bo
mado, but no radical changes can
safely bo mado with tho funda
mental plan of oducatlon as at
prosont oporatlvo.
Whothor or not It Is tho duty of
tho stato to oducato mon and womon
for tho profoaslons la another ques
tion. Cortalnly though, tho op
portunity for such an oducatlon
should bo affordod. Perhaps It
would bo possible for tho stato to
tako tho uoto of tho studont In tho
professions for a portion of tho cost
of his oducatlon and maxo tbo pay
ments thoroon to covor a period of
years following his graduation. This
would dotor tho thoughtless and
aimless student from taking such a
courso and mako room for tho
purposeful student whllo at tho samo
tlmo reducing tho cost of oducatlon
to the taxpayors.
