"The Stato Highway Com
mission i9 "not asking for more
money," saidR. A. Booth.com
misaionor, in addressing a Lane's
County audience on the 4 per
cent road bond limit measure;
"all wo want is tho power to cap
italizo the income now on hand.
Tho Btato road funds are now
taken from two Bources tho
one cent tax on each gallon of
Rasolino and tho automobilo lie
onso fees. Tho stato constitu
tion, as it now reads, prohibits
moro than 2 por cent being: put
into tho roads, and what the
commission wants is an amend
merit of this clauso so 4 por
cent can bo put into tho roads.
A direct additional tax ia not
asked for, nor is any increase in
tho gas tux orautoliconso fees."
Mr. Booth also brought out that
"a new road program is not to
bo rushed through, but the pro-1
sent one is to bo finishod provid
ing tho voters of Oregon back
up tho 4 porcontlimitmoasure."
Commissioner Simon Benson is
also on record against rushing
construction too rapidly, consid
ering high labor costs and tho
high cost of money, but favors
ratification of this 4 per cent
bonding amendment so Micro will
be authorisation to issue bonds
at such times as ravorablo con
ditions justify. I-innl control
over actual bond authorization
rests with the legislature, as
unless tho legislature passes en
abling legislature ns under the
4 por cent amendment, tho high
way commission is without au
thority to issuo bonds.
Whon a Plumbor makes n mis
take, ho charges twico lor it.
When a Lawyer makes a mistake,
it's Just what he wanted, becauso
ho gets to try the same enso over

makes a mistake, ho blnmcs it
on "induction," becauso nobody

Doctor makes a mistake he buries
it. Whon a Judgo makes a mis

a Preacher makes a mistake, no
body knows the difference. And

Announces that she has received
diploma as an exponent of the Dunning Systsm of Im
proved Music Study, which includes the Faelten prin
ciples concentration ami the Leschvtzky Technic
Formed into classes pupils are taught by musical characters and
rhythm sticks. An ingeniously constructed keyboard with grand
staff attached, simplifies notation by uniting these two important
factors.
Each difficulty is presented in such a thorough manner that
a child of ten or twelve years can master transposition, scale
building, melody writing by dictation, the Dominant Seventh
and Modulation. The written work teaches the student.that music,
as a language, they must learu to write, as well as iuterpret.
The muscles of fingers, wrists and arms are strengthened by
table technic; ear training aud sight reading forms a part of every
lesson.
Mrs. Rice will be glad to show you BY APPOINTMENT
the especially made apparatus for teaching this system which in
cludes oue class lesson and one private lesson each week, making
a far more economical way of acquiring a musical education.

Elementary School Aleastire
Thnt tho people of Oregon aro
keenly itiercstcd in the passage
of the bill which provides a two
mill tax levy for tho sunnortand
maintainance of the elementary
schools of the state is attested by
the hundreds of organizations
that have given it unanimous
endorsement and the hundreds
of pcoplo who nro devoting their
time to tho furtherance of its
success.
Mrs. Alexander Thompson,
Oregon's only woman legislator,
who is tho author of the bill,
Bays in speaking of It: "There
is a shortage of 140.000 school
teachers in this country and of
this numbor Oregon has her full
quota, our shortage being 500.
A total oi Z3U school rooms arc
locked and bolted because thoro
aro not teachers, 4G00 Oregon
children lack school facilities
and unless there is relief by the
voting of this monsuro tho mini
bcr will bo doubled next year.
Tho numbor of teachers leaving
Oregon schools to go into other
professions has mere than
doubled during the ern of tho
high cost of living. The increase
in living cocts during this period
are estimated at from 88 nor
cent to 91 per cent. Teachers
sularios have increased less than
25 nor cent. Normal schools
ami teacher training schools
show decrease in attendance of
30 per cent.
"In western Oregon thoro nre
many so-cnllod noverty districts,
jn5 of which have an annual
school revenue of loss than $800.
Lane county has 121 such dis
tricts; Marion 58; Washington,
M; Douglasa, 55: Lincoln, il
and even urban Multnomah has
nine such districts. Whore
nopulntion or taxable wealth is
scant it Is with difficulty that
schools aro supported. In these
districts tho rato oi taxation is
very high, some of them valuing
education enough to tax them-
selves as high as CO m'lls. In
other districts less public spirited
schools aro olther closed or arc
presided over by totally incom
petent teachers.
In HI counties of Oregon there
aro 220 1 rural teachers who for
this year's school work are
drawing an nverauo wairo of
$734.22. Of this number 002
draw less than $700 a yonr and
(Ml draw only SG00 a year, min-
num lawful wago for oight
monthsof school work. Of 005
rural school districts M0 havo a
total revenuo of less than $800,
tho nverngo being $508 or in
sufficient to pay tho $000 min
imum wngo for ono teacher for
each district. Thoso aro prowor
salarios and low ones at that, it
is impossible to live on them now.
Washington contributes
por census child to tho education
of her children: Oregon contri
butes $11.83. Iioth Wnahincton
and California pay better salaries
than Oregon, ilonco iho do-
irablo teachers are being callod
out of the state. Tho wnr taught
us a great lesson concerning
illiteracy and un-Amoricanism.
Twenty-four nnd n no-tonths
per cent of our soldiers could not
read or write. Bolshevism nnd
icnoranco can only bo counter
acted by a good public school
system. Tho foundations of a
democracy rest upon an intelli
gent citizenship. Your voto in
tho Hlcmontary Kuucational Hill
Is a test of your citizenship.
Iho whole aim of tho bill is
equalization and every county
receives back overy cent that
they pay into the fund. Thoro
is now moro than $iu,ooo,oou
worth of property in Oregon
which escapes taxation for tho
support of tho elementary schools
because it is outsido of any
