The Compulsory Education Bill is an
initiated measure a proposition to
amend Section 5259, Oregon Laws, re
lating to compulsory education. Its
purpose is set forth in the bill itself,
as follows:
"Requiring any parent, guardian or
other person having control, charge or
custody of a child over eight and un
der sixteen years of age, from and
after September 1, 1926, to send such
child to a public school during the en
tire school year, excepting: (a) chil
dren physically unable; (b) children
who have completed the eighth grade;
(c) children between the ages of eight
and ten living more than one and one
"half miles, and children over ten years
of age living more than three miles,
from a public -school, except when
transportation is furnished; (d) chil
dren taught by parent or private
teacher."
The ballot numbers are 314-Yes and
315-No.
This proposed measure is the basis
of more serious and animated discus
sion than all of the other initiative
measures combined, not exceptng the
income tax bill."
According to those submitting the
favorable argument in the "voters'
pamphlet," - the inspiration for the
measure is a resolution adopted in
1920 by the Supreme Council A. "and
A. S. Rite for the Southern Jurisdic
tion of the United States; in June)
1920, by the Grand Lodge of Oregon
A. F. and A. M., and in June, 1920,
by the Imperial Council, A. A. O
Nobles Mystic Shrine, as follows:
"Resolved, That we recognize and
proclaim our belief in the free and
Compulsory education of the children
of our nation in public primary schools,
supported by public taxation, upon
which all children shall attend and be
instructed in the English language
only, without regard to race or creed,
as the only sure foundation for the
perpetuation and preservation of our
free institutions, guaranteed by the
Constitution of the United States, and
we pledge the efforts pf the member
ship of the order to promote, by all
. lawful means, the organization, exten
sion and development to the highest
degree of such schools, and to oppose
the efforts of any and all who seek to
limit, control, hinder or destroy the
public school system of our land."

discussin, both pro and con, will be

! The Democratic Nominee
Offers Plans For Tax Re
, duction In The State
Pierce, Capitalizing Taxation As The
Dominant Issue Continues
Vigorous Campaign
(A Resume)
Unmindful of the increasing impres
sion which is being broadcast to the
effect that the tide of political favor
is being turned against him, the Demo
cratic nominee is swinging around the
circle at record pace.
In reply to the continued demand of
his opponents for his declaration of
plans for reduction of taxes, he has
laid down, as definite planks in his
platform-: (1) Economy in every de
partment of state; (2) A severance
tax on all timber taken from forest re
serves; (3) A state income tax; (4)
No more bond issues; (5) State rentals
for .grazing privileges in the forest re
serves; (6) consolidation of boards,
bureaus and commissions; (7) Sim
plified government, economically ad
ministered; (8) Guarantees that taxes
derived from new sources shall not be
absorbed in increased expenditures;
(9) State tax on gross earnings of
public service corporations. - ,
Opposed to these tax, plans, Mr.
Pierce declares, are the public utili
ty corporations, the lumber barons and
others whose taxes woul9 be increas
ed thereby. He further points '"out
that while one-half the property of
this state is exempt from, taxation,
much of the other half is paying little
or no tax because it is invested in
stock, bonds andther property not
accessible to the assessor. VThis leaves
but a small nprtion of the property
really owned, and to support the gov
ernment this small part consisting of
farms, city homes, and' buildings and
livestock must bear the terrific bur
den of taxation.
The candidate further' points out
that Oregon is on the basis of. per
capita population, the most heavily
bonded state in the Union, and pledges
himself to halt, if governor, further
issues. He takes a "wallop" at the
480 state-owned automobiles; the em
ployment of counsel outside the attorney-general's
office for the banking
department; and to what he terms
"payroll functionaries, hangers-on and
other unnecessary help in the employ
of the state," declaring for more work
or more "fire"" for said employes.
With two more weeks of campaign
ing, Pierce will cover Multnomah
county and a few strategic points out
side. Bids For Grading The South
End Route Thru City Are Sought
Progresss is being made on the
South End Route over the Pacific
Highway, thru the city. At its meet
ing in Portland, November 21, the
state highway commission will receive
bids for th grading of the route over
the hill south. This much of the pro
cedure has been decided upon by the
commission. This route had been de
cided upon by the city council of Ore
gon City, which has no funds with
which to improve Railroad avenue
now.
Both commission and city hold in
abeyance the improvement of Rail
road avenue to divide the traffic sure
to pass thru the city upon completion
of the Pacific highway birdge across
the Willamette here.
For a long time the state authori
ties held and have adopted, in fact,
the latter route as the final perman
ent route to be opened by the city at
a tuture date.
Women's Club Meets
(From our Sandy correspondent)
The Women's Club of Sandy was
hostess at a delightful little affair last
Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Scales, in the form of a miscel
laneous shower, honoring Mrs. Oren
Gauger, nee Josephine Dixon.
After the usual club business was
disposed of, the afternoon was turned
into a social affair. Refreshments

(From our Sandy correspondent)
The second of the community song
services will be held in the M. E.
church, Sunday evening. Mr. Hender
son; of Portland, who was billed to

Oswego Election Near.
Time is growing closer for city elec
tion. A new mayor, six councilmen,
marshall, recorder and treasurer are
to be elected. "
D. B. Fox will run for recorder and
as yet there is no opposing candidate
for that office.
Leslie B. Savage has already de
clared his candidacy for mayor. Tom
Clinefelter is a possible candidate for
the council. He was a former mayor
of the town.
The recall committee -.were very"
jubilant over their accumulation of
2,556 names to their petitions. It was
given out from headquarters that 22
per cent, or 562 names might be
thrown out on account of "irregulari
ties? and there would still be enough
lefC Their boastings were clothed in
biblical lore and the manager was
filled to overflowing with jubilance.
But the irregularities on the petitions
exceeded the most liberal allowance.
One petition was one-half "irregular"
on the face of it. There would not
be enough names left after checking
to put the recall on the ballot. Wow-
ow-ee! a sudden shift! Headquarters
and the heademployee get busy. They
have it! The law wasn't clear anyway.
It didn't state that th clerk should
throw out the names of RECALL peti
tioners. This formality applied only
to INITIATIVE petitions anyway.
They had the notarial seal. What fur
ther evidence of regularity ought to
be required; quoth the manager.
The. recallers then protested the
further check by the county clerk.
The district attorney aquiesced. on the
basis that the recall is based upon a
constitutional amendment and not gov
erned by the same law which provided
for the checking of signatures on the '
initiative petitions. Whoope-ee-ee! 1
Another shift, more jubilation, and'
with the technical sanction of the law.
selfish ambition and political spite will
be waged aganst the Judge, the recall
will be in full swing from now until
election day. Still another shift takes
place.
Judge Cross could have delayed the
checking by legal process until the re
callers had swofn-.in enough signers

Judge Campbell has occuped the cir

SHIFTING SANDS
to equal the 1,984 required, but this
would have meant a special election.
Mindful of economy for the taxpayers
of this county and "with a desire q
give them opportunity to express their
attitude toward his - service to the
county, he refused to cause delay and
the recall election -will bo held, with
the regular election November 7. -
That there Is. growing disgust with
the recall is obvious. The flimsiness
of the accusations, the variegated
political complexion, revealed more
and more as the motives and activi
ties of the original sponsors of the
movement are unmasked, are turning
voters, until now passive in their at
titude, against the recall.,'
Expressions of disgust with the
movement to put a third candidate into
the field to defeat Kruse and thus
to gain control of the county court, are
common and increasing every hour.
The accusations against Judge Cross
are condemned as too -flimsy to justi
fy a recall. Over one hundred busi
ness and professional men, mostly tax
payers in this county, have gone on
record in" Oregon City alone, as op
posed to the recall and brand it oa
disastrous to the best interests of
Clackamas County. - '
The recall accuses the Judge of ex
travagance. It is up to its sponsors
to justify this claim. Here is a sample
of what he HAS done. When he went
into office in 192i, the state highway
commission held a debt of over $500,
000 against Clackamas county for
work and materials on the state high
way, including bridges within Clack
amas county. The Judge took ag
gressive action to reduce this indebt
edness and to hasten the construc
tion of the bridge at Oregon City.

Lloyd George Opens Politi
cal Warfare On
-Opponents
Enthusiastic Receptions Accorded The
Former Premier As He Tour -The
Country 1
Having resigned the premiership,
Lloyd George demonstrates his fight
ing Welsh fclood by going before the
country for restoration to his former
prestige and power. Bonar'Law, who
has been entrusted with the forma
tion of a new ministry, is 'at his new
task. He and the Welsh wizzard of
statesmanship are friends but .of
such procedure is English politics.
The former premier is concentrat
ing his efforts in forming a Georgian
party with sufficient strength to con
trol the house of parliament after the
next election. His declarations favor
the Liberals and it is this element
that promise to support the man of
his democratic type.-
The ex-premier is full of his old
time fire and humor. His speeches
carry with him popular sentiment and
are accorded enthusiastic reception
everywhere.
The coaliation government was brok
en up," declares Lloyd George, "be
cause the conservative party was not
getting enough out of it" He de
fends the peace treaty and declares
the world democracies will not con
tinue . to bear the burdens of arma
ments. He pays a tribut to Balfour,
who reached an agreement with the
powers at the Washington conference
on disarmament, which he endorses.
Indications Are That City
Ticket Is Com
plete At the present there are two candi
dates for mayor of Oregon City
Mayor James Shannon, who seeks re
election on his record, and J. J. Tobin,
former councilman, his opponent.
For the city attorney's office there
two asnirants O. D. Eby, present in
cumbent, and William Stone, who
formerly held this position.
For City Recorder C. W. Kelly,
nearing the close of his first term as
recorder; John Morris, employee at
the Hawley plant; John Lizberg, like
wise employed, and formerly in the
abstract business, and R. E. Wood
ward, employee of the C. W. Paper
Company.
Rumors are afloat to the effect that
there may be another candidate for
mayor the name of W. H. Howell be
ing mentioned.
In Ward 1, Fred Metzner holds over
and A. L. Beatie opposes councilman
Alman Hodgson, now serving by ap
pointment., In Ward 2, H. S. Mount
holds over and Happy Roake is unap
posed. In Ward 3, Richard Greaves
opposes the re-election of Frank Cross.
In Ward 4, Ed. Vanuken holds over
and Jack Cameron is unopposed. -
As usual, the political prophets
and those who have "inside informa

tendent and other appointive officers,
as a result of the mayoralty contest.
no progress, he worked and plead
with the commission for a reduction
of debt and progress on the bridge.
The result of these negotiations was
that the bridge is nearly completed-
and the debt adjusted at $240,000,
$90,000 of which has been paid. Give
the commissioners due credit for their
influence in this deal and credit is still
due the County Judge for splendid
service 'and a hig saving for this
county.
By another creditable deal with the
highway commission by the County
Judge and his associates, the Mount
Hood Loop, covering a distance of 30
miles thru .valuable land, and passing
thru rapidly growing communities, in
cluding Sandy, is now being construct
ed at a cbstf to- Clackamas county of
only $83,000, already paid. Multno
mah county-pays $170,000 toward this
$1,000,000 highway, and not a foot of
it within her borders. Does anyone
believe that the recall candidate
could improve upon these results obr
tained under the present court?
,
When King George could not find
sufficient soldiers to crush the inde
pendence and patriotism of the Ameri
cans in the early days of our history,
he employed mercenaries to assist.
Other nations were moved to protest,
which accounted, in part, for the glori
ous result American Independence.
The whole recall movement is as
shifting sands." A recall, based on
causes so slim that Itj requires the es
tablishment of "headquarters,' the
employment of special employees to
help "dig unl' accusations, evidences,
proofs and promised revelations, is a
travesty on justice. It is a- blow
struck at popular government.
The voters resent it, as they should
Improvement Club Urges
Hill Site For City
Hall
The Hill Improvement Club sets
forth, in a circular addressed to the
voters oftthe city, many well-defined
reasons why the location of the city
hall should be on the hill. The pro
posedsite is at the corner of Seventh
and Adams streets, across from Lib
rary Park.
The size of the hill site is almost
twice that of the downtown site and
will accommodate a building contain
ing the entire fire department, city
offices "and the auditorium already
planned, while the present downtown
site means cramped quarters -for the
fire department,- offices, and NO audi
torium. A vote for the hill site is a vote to
save money. - Its cost will be $5,000,
while the value of the downtown site-
is $20,000. Here is a difference of $15,
000 in favor of the hill site. Eighty
five per cent of the people have their
homes or residences on the hill and
are entitled to the convenience and
protection afforded by the site.
The hill site is in the midst of a
growing business section, easy of ac
cess, and away from the dangers of
the congested conditions of Main
street.
The hill site means growth and ex
pansion of -the whole city. It means,
too, the breaking down of sectional
prejudice and means greater progress.

OlcottNow Waging Vigor
ous Campaign Thruout
Oregon
Governor Declares Administration One
Of Economy Refutes Statements v
Of His Opponents
(A Resume)
, Contrary to prophesies made early
in the campaign, Governor Ben W.
Olcott is now on a speaking tour over
the state in behalf of his candidacy
iur re-eiecuon. He is accompanied by
former state treasurer Tom Kay, who
is a candidate for the house of repre
sentatives. The governor speaks in defense of
bis administration, which is being
mercilessly assailed by the Democratic
candidate for 'the governorship. T
Olcott, referring to the expenses of
the state government, shows that dur
ing his administration there has been
the peak' of high prices and that he has
worked faithfully to keepv down ex
penses. In referring to the work of
the state highway commission, he de
clares his appointments of the very
best; that he had vetoed every attempt
to inject politics into this department
of government and that the depart
ment has met efficiently its tasks.
He declares the state institutions,
philantropic and penal, have 'been
maintained at reasonable cost, and
that everything has been done to cut
down expenses here.
Without mentioning his opponent,
the Governor refutes the statements
that taxes for the state's institutions
are $7,500,000 per annum." and shows
them to be only $3,000,000 annually.
in the course of his itinerary, in
answer to inquiries about his fraternal
and religous affiliations, his record is
shown to be no church affiliaton, a
mason and ehriner.
Mr. Kay. in his speeches in support
of the Governor, assails the record of
candidate Walter M. Pierce and shows
that in the senate he voted for 95 per
cent of the bills which increased state
taxes. But the criticism launched
against the Democratic candidate's
school fund loan has been the most
effective campaign material used
against him, it is acknowledged.
Everywhere in eastern Oregon the
Governor has been enthusiastically re
ceived and as generally assured of his
re-election. The entrance of Senators
McNary and Stanfield and Congress
man Hawley into the Oregon cam
paign; still further strengthens the
probability of Republican success at
the polls on November 7th.

(From our Sandy correspondent)
The city council met in special ses-
sionat the city halL last Friday eve
ning, to discuss the question of city
water. '

gated the Reed spring, about six miles
from Sandy, testimated there was
water enough there to supply a city of
ten thousand people. It could be
brought to a reservoir near Sandy at
a cost of about $22,000.
The plan -of bonding the city for
$25,000 was discussed, but no definite
action was taken. . ,
