It is stranfjo what apathy exists in communities as a gen eral rule in affairs relating to public schools. Whon a director is to bo elected or a tax levy adopted, a very few take any in terest whatever in the result. And ytt the schools are of almost as vital importance as the city government, or possibly more so. Why is so little interest shown? It is hard to explain. 1 The splendid efforts being put forth by Governor West to aid the unemployed in securing work during the dull winter months are worthy of the highest ait probation. Few governors would go to the trouble Mr. West is going to to secure employment for the needy. Hut it is some thing that will not soon be for gotten even if his noble efforts are not crowned with the suc cess they deserve. T That special elections seldom hear good fruit was again dem onstrated in Portland Inst week when all the measures before the noople wore voted down. Somehow people will not come out. at special elections (0 vote, and the true sentiment of the whole populace is but rarely se cured. The heft plan is to vole on all spocial measures at a regu lar election. Tho"Spngs," who believe that Christmas should not lie com inoreinlizod, are rapidy growing in numbers. They believe mil in the giving of inexpensiv gifts at Christmas time. Titer are a great many people who would be glad if it was the uni versal custom to give presents that cost the donor not to excooi ton cents. Christmas would then he anticipated with a great den or pleasure, and not lose it charm by the many sacrifices made to give more than one can really afford. The method of taxation in Ore gon is neither fair nor just. has gotten so Hint the man wit a little property is the goal, am must have a deterrent influenc upon the mnn who would like to have a little home of his own Renters and bachelor, who hav all the advantages and benefit of a community, are practically immune from taxation, and the man with a family and struggling to nay for a home or his ow must help to bear the burden 0 public iudouleiliiesH. there no good reason why a bachelor Willi no one to support out him self should not be assetuied for taxation purposes as well as the 1 1 pii. . properiy owner. 111 iniiuyoi ine Eastern states an occupation tax is exacted, which is fair am equitable, and should be in force in Oregon. In such ease the bachelor drawing a salary wouli have to pay according to the in como received. Hut ns it is, tin ownership of a home is fast lo mg its attractions, though ove taxation. . . Don't send that dollar away Spend it in your homo town A dollar put in circulation here is worth any number in the mail or in the mail order house' pocket. When you send that dollar away some other com munity makes the profit that might just as well be made by yours, uoiiar attract dollars, For every dollar in use in yoin locality another dollar will come, Lonvorsoiy, ovory dollar that is spout sont away has a pulling power on another dollar that is left behind. A dollar spout in your home town helps to make your noiglibors just that much more prosperous. To that ex tent, also, it makes thecommuu ity more prosperous, And it makes you profit in just the same way that the community does. Whon there is plenty of money in circulation everybody benefits. That's why you should keep just as many dollars hero as you can instead ot sending thorn away. Hy patronizing home 111 dustrios you can do this.

Did it ever dawn on you that this is Just as truo of the two logged kicker as of the four legged one? For example, who could be a more perfect jackass than the man who kicks about his own town? The ass kicks because he is built that way, and the man kicks because he is built the same way. The ass usually has something lokiok at, but the' man of ton kicks about nothing at all.
