COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.
At tbe June election the people of
Clackamas County are going to vote
upon the question whether or not they
are in favor of giving the boys ana
girls of Clackamas County an oppor
tunity to get a high school education.
Clackamas County now has a popula
tlon of about 26,000 people and 8,765
children of school age. For the year
1907 there were 237 who passed tbe
eighth grade examination, a large
number of which would undoubtedly
continue their high scliool work And
make useful citizens if they had an
opportunity to get an education with
out going away from home. In 1901 a
law was passed by which the people
of any County may submit the ques
tion to the voters at any general elec
tion to establish one or more high
schools and to levy a special tax for
the purpose of maintaining schools.
One of the objections made against a
nigh school is that the many should
be taxed in the Interest of a few and
that should the vote be favorable to
a high school it would be located at
Oregon City, which, at the present
time is the center of population. The
total assessed valuation of Clackamas
Count for the year 1907 is $12,854,000.
The assessed valuation of the corpor
ations and the school ristrlcts immedi
ately adjoining Oregon City repre
sents about two-thirds of the total
valuation of the County. Based upon
this valuation it would require about
one-half mill to pay the running ex
penses of a County High School.
As the population of Clackamas
County increases, it will undoubtedly
become necessary to increase the num
ber of high schools in the County, lo
cating a high school In the eastern
part of the County and one in the
Southern part of the County and one
at Oregon City, but at the present
time there are not a sufficient num
ber of students to warrant the build
ing and maintaining of more than one
high school. The question for the
voters at this time is, shall the boys
and girls who are graduated from the
eighth grade be permitted to have the
advantages that they are entitled to
by giving them an opportunity to pre
pare themselves for higher education .
Klamath, Wheeler, Josephine, Har
ney and Wallowa Counties, have es
tablished high, schools, and are do
ing splendid work. Establishing a
high school in Oregon City, or any
other part of the County, is not in
the interest of that particular locali
ty only, but is in the interest of the
County at largei as it will be a source
of inspiration for the pupils who have
passed the eighth grade, from all parti
of Clackamas County, to continue in
their school work, when they have the
opportunity to prepare themselves
for college, without going away from
home, at a very small expense. Es
tablishing a County High School will
raise the standard of educational work
in Clackamas County, as nothing else
will do. and every graduate from a
good high school is an asset to the
county, worth many times more than
the cost to the people of the county.
The school system of our nation has
done more to build up our country
than all others combined.
legislative; candidates.
Under our direct primary law this
year there are 11 good Republicans
who must be disappointed, as there
are 12 offices to be filled and 23 aspir
ants for nomination at the hands of
'their party. It is up to the Republi
cans of Clackamas to choose its own
nominees, and it is also the duty of
the Republicans to elect these nomi
nees. There Is nothing more Important to
the State at large than the make-up
of the legislative ticket. It is In Sa
lem, where the brains of the whole
state congregate, that men shine by
comparison, and the people of a coun
ty are judged, In a great measure, by
the calibre of the men they send to
the legislature to represent them. The
Republicans cannot be too careful in
their choice. They should nominate
and elect men, only a careful scrut
iny of their records in private and
public life, and on no account should
men be sent to represent us, who
cannot proudly unfold the pages of
their personal and political life and
point with pride to every line.'
This is a duty .of the members of
the Republican party that they should
not try to avoid. Send the best men
of your party to Salem. Nominate
and elect men who will be able to ac
complish something, whose hands are
free and clean. Let no man ride .into
office on tbe tidal wave of a popular
hobby. There are several matters
that the Republican candidates for the
legislature in Clackamas County are
united on. One of these Is Statement
No. 1. They are all for it, and no
man can rightfully claim an advant
age. Another is the Single Tax. Prob
ably not one voter out of 50 in Clacka
mas is in favor of this measure. The
little paragraph from the Oregonlan
illustrates the case exactly:
"It doesn't seem to occur to many
people that members of the Legisla
ture have anything to do but elect a
United States Senator. Whether a
man be a signer of Statement No. 1
or not, he Bhould not be sent to Salem
to make laws unless he Is qualified to
perform that duty Intelligently."
Unquestionably the New York man
who went before the authorities the
other day and requested that his
taxes be doubled must have seen a
good many things double that day.
OREGON AND THE PRESIDENCY
The Republican State Central Com
mlltee is Buuiiuoued to meet in l'ort-
luiul, April 10, to call a statu couvon
tlon ana to name tua number of dele
gates that every couuty in tho state
may send to that convention. Tbe
Republican State Couveutlon will
'choose tour ueicgalos-ut-large for the
National Couvouuou; also lour cuuJl
I dates lor presidential electors, The
Slate Central Committee will also pro
vide for couveuiions lu the two Con
gresaionai Districts, each district
naming two delegates, wnich gives
Oregon, altogetuor, a total of eight del
egates lu i tne National Convention.
Kight alternates will be named to
take the place of delegates wbo cau
not be In Chicago on June 16. Every
Kepebiicau who lakes part in the
county primaries and couveutlon will
have a voice iu naming Koosevelt's
successor.
Without waiting for the call of the
State Central Committee, several
counties of Oregon have already held
their conventions and elected delega
Hons to attend the state convoutiou.
These delegates no douut will be ac
cepted at the state convention as tbe
county commilteemeu assented to the
call of these conventions.
The Marion couuty convention re
fused to pass a resolution instruct
ing for TatL So far no convention in
Oregon has instructed for either Taft
or Hughes. Many delegates are known
to be in favor of the re-nomination of
Roosevelt. Every Republican in Ore
gon should attend his county conven
tion and should see that the right
kind of men are sent to the state con
vention. The responsibility rests up
on every voter. Not much time re
mains to act and to organize.
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.
(Oregon State Journal.)
The indictment against Hon. Geo.
C. Brownell, which Heney has had
hanging over him for nearly three
years, has been dismissed on tbo mo
tion of U. S. District Attorney John
McCourt, on instructions from Wash
ington. It was a malicious prosecu
tion, originated by paid detectives and
attorneys who were working the gov
ernment for big pay or "graft" to
go into their own pockets nd for
popularity as "prosecutors." For this
and a good many other similar cases.
where thfre was nothing criminal in
volved, there ought to b3 somo way
of punishing these highly paid spies
and profesional calumlnators for mal
icious prosecutions.
STAFFORD.
Sunshine and April showers are a
little before their time, but we enjoy
them, especially the sunshine.
Mrs. Brink is still under the doctor's
care; also Mr. Powell. Two of his

on, but after a few days they folded
their tents like the Arab, and silently
melted away, as it were, but still the
population of Stafford is steadily In
creasing; one at Dick Oldenstadt's,
and one at August Delkar's.
Little Mary Leesman, who has been
very sick with what is thought to be
diphtheria, is slowly recovering. Other
sick one are better as a general rule.
Mrs. Brink is still confined to her bed
also. Mr. Powell's sisters came from
Portland Tuesday to stay for a time
with him, and a sister and her hus
band were out to see him Sunday. Jen
nie Day is helping Mrs. Powell, as
she has all the chores to do and the
store to see to, besides waiting on blm
which was taxing her strength too
much as she was very 111 herself the
first of the month.
