The Herald has devoted con-ider <
able space to the teachers’ tenure
pr\>ix>«ition. It has not been alone in
so doing; a large numU-r of papers in
Portkwd and tnnoughout the state'
been genemus in getting the matter
before the public.
We are not belittling the import
ance of tenure, but there is another
matter concerning the school» which
is also important, «specially to school j
patrons.
We refer to the textbook
propositwn.
At tbe present time the parents of
every child of school age are com-
polled to furnish the books rvquttvd
in the child’s education.
Th«- man
with a large family is hard hit once
a year at least, and sometimes twice.
If he moves from an outside commun
ity to Portland, he ha» an entire new
set of books to purchase.
Usually,
too, he is the least able to meet this
unnecessary expense.
The east is generally rvcognixed as
the educational center of the country.
Decades back the enlightened school
authorities of that section adopted
the principle that textbooks were as
much a pert of the child’s etlucation
! ss competent instructors, and the
books are generally standardise«! and
iistributed without charge to th« pa-
I cron, except through taxation.
Two factors have kept Oregon from
I adopting the free textbook system:
j Th«- heavy taxpayers, usually chtld-
| less or whose children are over school
age, and the book concerns, who ev
ery year take an enormous amount of
of " the state.
Ev-
money out
ery dollar thus spent goes back 1
east, never to return.
The argument has been advanced
that where b>oks are supplied free, J
proper care is not taken of them;
that they are destroyed and a waste
results This is fallacious. As a mat
ter of fact, school discipline and in
spection serves to keep the textbook»
in better shape than under parental
control, in addition, eastern schools
have repair departments which renew
books that in this state go into the
Lre or the rubbish heap.
Oregon has a modern state print
ing plant; with the addition of some
extra equipment it could be utilized
to prevent the waste now occurring
and relieve the men who are strug
gling to educate large families of
children. We provide free higher ed
ucation to a comparative few and
spend millions in the doing, but re
fuse to make it possible for the far
greater number to secure elementary
instruction without a heavy penalisa
tion.
One of these days Oregon will drive
the textbook grafters and lobbyists
out of the state, chloroform the moss-
backs and provide free textbooks as a
part of its school system. God speed
that happy day. It will lift a heavy
load from the backs
• of a class least
nble to bear it.

The Eddy bill extends the power
of regulation and investigation by
' the state over bond dealers and bro-
i kers.
It requires one hundred per
cent, guarantee for the citizen who
puts up his money.
. The Ryan-Vinton bill to tax all
I bonds and securities issued outside
the state would only make it harder
! for Oregon as a borrowing state to
I sell its own securities as it must in
i outside markets.
A high personal tax on foreign se
curities would meet with retaliatory
. legislation and withdrawal of finan-
i rial firms that now are the largest
I buyers of Oregon highway, irrigation
and municipal bonds.
The people of Oregon would help
themselves by buying securities of
public utilities issued in this state but
can never do it by erecting a wall
against outside securities seeking this
market.
7 HERMITE Anti-Freezing Solution
By ARTHUR BRAMWELL, Washington Visitor.
One of the chief reason» for the failure of the District of Columbia
to obtain the electoral franchise is the large number of residents who
wish to retain their ballots in their home states ami do not want to voto
h«re. I have been coming to Washington for many tears ami hate Ixxit
interested in the refusal of congress to bestow the ballot on the district,
lake any other real American, I think the |wv|>lc of the capital should
have a mice in the government under which they live, but I am afraid it
will ne»«r be granted them until the thousands of worker» who vote in
other states mlitiquiah their home vote for a vote her« and urge their cun-
grvssmen to grant the district the franchise.
There is no doubt in my mind tliat the district should vote and that
it should have representation in congress as well a* the power of choosing
its own municipal ort'uvm and public servants. The school situation in
Washington has never been entirely satisfactory, simply because the peo
ple have had no voice in the aelection of their school officials. No city
can succeed as well under a paternalistic gvoernment as under its own
rule.
Politics is necessary in any city, as it keeps *<m» factions actively
watching every movement made by the party in power, and the officials
kuow that they must satisfy the public if they wish to la* returned.
The District of Columbia cast about 60,000 votes in the recent elec
tion. all of them m other statis.
tee composed of two senators and
three representatives investigate the
subject and report to the legislature
in 1923.
Thia recommendation will go to the
legislature with 12 members of the
delegation in favor and 7 opposing the
measures.
After the delegation had agreed to
this plan of temporarily disposing of
the teachers’ problem, an effort was
made to recommend Senator Staples'
bill providing changes in the present
tenure law with an amendment mak
ing dismissal by four of five school
directors final action, ami. in the ev
ent of only three votes, to dismiss
the teacher, pending appeal to the
trial commission The effort foiled
to carry, however.

waste astonishes him. this observant
visitor Is bound to suffer a consider

United States might almost be said
to bave attained the dignity of an es
tablished public policy.
Some on« has figure«! out that th«
cities of 125.0UO or more In this coun
try would show a production of 1.200,-
000 tons of course paper stock per
year If the stock now thrown on the
dumps were sal» aged. Rut It Is prob
ably a fact that most of tbe large
cities of the country salvage all paper
material from their rubbish.
The National Safety Council, In con
vention at Atlantic City, estimates
that one person la killed every 35 mln-
utes by an automobile. Something
must be done to stop this slaughter.
