Inn. 1 ho committee found the three Inatltutlout In desparate need. It found the emergency ao great that relief aliould be liven now. It found that they aliould not even wait until next year. Accordingly It recommen ded to the legislature an additional levy of 1.26 nillla for aupport. be ginning In 1(21, and an appropria tion of like amount for thla year alone. The legislature Itself was bar red by the six per cent tax limitation from making the levy and appropria tion, ao It referred the bill to the people, and directed that apace be aet aatde In thla phamphlet to explain the facta to the votera. The voters are to decide May 21, and at many of the facta aa can be contained In three pag.es will now be ant forth. On official ballot. Nos. 312 and 313, argument, affirmative. Submitted by the Joint committee of the aeiiHte and house of represen tatives of the thirtieth legislative as sembly, spertal session, 1V20, in be half of Holdler' Huilors' mid Murines' Kducationul Aid Hevenue Hill. The Holdler, sailor ami marine ed ucational Inw enacted by the people one year ugo hns been titken advan tage of by more returned soldiers than thi) authors of the bill antici pated, The annual appropriation of two tenths of a mill on the total taxable property of the state which the vot ers authorized at the special election June a, 1919, for the purpose of ald Iiik the ex-service men in educational work will produce In 1 f 20 the sum of IJS.0K7 0M. This Is all the money available under the provisions of the present laws for the purpose of pay ing the aid authorized by the state. Under the terms of the luw, a maxi mum of $2il0 In allowed each ex-service man annually In the pursuit of educational work. It was supposed that there would not lie to exceed 1,- 600 ex-servlce men apply for aid, and j that the J1HH.UK7 produced annual ly under the present provisions, would bo more than sufficient to cov er nil of the aid asked for by return ed service men: and further, that not all of the applicants would ask aid for the entire year. Instead of such being the case, there has been filed with the secretary of state, more than 3,700 npllcations for state aid, under the terms of the law so gener ously enacted by the people of Ore gon at the apodal election, June 3, 1919. It seems that there yet will be many more who will take advantage of the law and pursue courses of study In the various educational Insti tutions throughout the state. On official ballot, Nos. 314 and 815, argument affirmative. I Submitted by the secretary-treas-: urer of the Oregon State Teacher's Association In behalf of State Elem-; entary School Fund Tux Bill. j At a time when the very foundn-j tlons of our democracy are shaking, 1 our schools are facing a great crisis. I With a shortage of 100, 0U0 teachers I In the United States, 600 in Oreg n, j Including those temporarily employ-j ed but wholly unfit, the supply of new teachers required each year, an out 1200 In Oregon, is appallingly In adequate, both in number and in quality. When strong men and wo men are needed as teachefs as nev er before, many who have Invested years of their Uvea In a service they love and in which they have proved their worth are leaving because they cannot make a living. Under Bitch conditions It is not strange that the average young man or woman of ab ility Is refusing to enter upon a course of training for an occupation with so little promise, underpaid, un appreciated, discontented teachers, smarting under a sense ol injustice, can not be expected to keepup their morale even in work whose appeal to one's nobler nature is most like parenthood. On official ballot, Nos. 316 and 817, argument, affirmative.. - , Submitted by J. F. Myers, princi pal, school for the sightless, Port land, Oregon, In behalf of the Blind School Tax Measure. For the sake of the BOO adult blind In Oregon who can be helped to become self supporting I ask votes for the bill proposing a small tax tor an Oregon employment institution for the blind, to be located In Port land. Such an institution will be like a ray of light in the darkness to the sightless of this state. A tniMHiire of supreme Importance to Crook County will be on the bal lot at the primary. May 21st, namely (he ('rook-furry Bond Ameiidmen to Hie Constitution. It may seem that a great many of Crook county do not understand the nature of tills ainnuduieiit nor the conditions making It Imperative that It iihhh.

If It carries, It is the purpose of the county court of Crook County to sub. These warrants draw interest and are dis counted' at the banks about five per cent. In many county purchases. this discount is added to the price, and in this way the county Is paying eleven per cent Interest. There is not a aet of men In the county who can run the government under the pne-nl laws and pay even the Inter est on these warrants. Last year we paid the State better than eighteen tax to do so.

If we handle It by a special levy, we must either levy enough In one year to take care of it or else hold an election each year on the question of a special levy. It is expensive to hold elections In thisj county and then the court would nev- er know Just what to depend upon in i making the regular levy. If there! was a better way to handle this des-! pet-ate situation than to sell bonds,! then It should be brought forward by some Interested taxpayer. The sit- j u-itlon has been gone over caretuiiy j bv the county court and no sukkcs- i tfon has been made for a different method of handling it. I the situation, and unless this measure carries we have a period of many years ahead of us in which it will b a continual struggle with the finan ces of the county and great unneo esary expense to the taxpayers.

DANIELS REPLIES TO ADMIRAL SIMS Washington. Secretary Daniels, be fore the senate Investigating commit tee Monday, made his long awaitad reply to the criticisms cf Rear Ad miral Sims on the navy's part in the war. The naval secretary let go a broad side, which included charges that Suna lacked vision, that he belittled the work ot the American navy In treat to the British, coveted B:...ili decorations and aspired to become an honorary member of the British ad miralty. He declared that officers supporting the Sims Charges ware largely "people with a grievance." The testimony of other officers, la possession of first hand knowledge, Secretary Daniels testified, "should be accepted by all open-minded men as an absolute refutation of virtually all of Admiral Sims' charges." Sims, Secretary - Daniels told the committee, did not measure up to ex pectations In various ways, ot which he mentioned six, as follows: "He lacked vision to see that a great and new project to bar the subma rines from their hunting grounds should be promptly adopted and car ried out, no matter what the cost or how radical the departure from what ultra-prudent men regarded as Imprac ticable. "Be seemed to accept the views of the Bnltsh admiralty as superior t anything that would coma from Ajaer ica." -v
