We boast that we are the greatest nation upon earth, and In our efforts to preserve that position we must strive constantly to raise, or at least mulntaln, the standard of our citizen ship, and. to accomplish this end we must unceasingly fight organized greed and graft, stamp out poverty, vloe and crime, protect the home, and make life more pleasant for those who have been less fortunate than others.

GROWTH OF SCHOOLS SHOWN III REPORT SUPT. CALAVAN IENOS STATE MINT TO STATS DEPART MINT OF EDUCATION The progress In public education In ( lai kamas county la die uaed In special report wlibh J. K. Calavan, county achool aiip-rliiternlent, sent to the stale department of education Wednesday. Ibe teacher e training school, playgrounda and playabods, new buildings and other matters are brought up III Hie report. The report follows lu part: "lu submitting to iou this ij-clal re port, I shall give a brief account of a few new things which are being tried out lu this county. "As this la (he first county In try out the training school law, feel It highly Important that I should say something of our experience with It at this time. "I arn not In a po.u ion t say that it will work satisfactorily lu every coun ty, but will suffice It to say that from our two years' experience. It has been entirely satisfactory to all Ibe teach ers who have attendeu It, and 1 am quite certain that they would protest against going back to thu former sys tem. 'Nearly all of tne teachers .n al'end- ance advised me at the close of the laat session that they had gotten so much practical help that they were certain of a successful school year. The school was conducted this yvar lu two departments, namely, primary and advunced. This gave the teachers chance to select the kind of work wblcb Is most Important for their In dividual school. The playground equipment and lay- shed movement bave begun to take root. Several achool districts are building playsheps and putting play ground equipment In this fall. Quite a number of school boards think kindly of the plan and I believe before the end of this school year, many districts will have Installed some of this equip ment. The boys, with a little help from the hoard, can build and Install the most of the equipment out of aucb material as they can find close at bend. We expect the support of tba par ent teachers' association to be one of the strongest factors in expediting this work. The beating, ventilation, and light ing bave received their share of at tention. A great many of our one and two-room buildings have perfected this evil by Installing heating system and rearranging the windows. The stand ardizing of the rural school has been a great stimulus lo bringing about the above named changes. "A wave of enihualsui for better schoolhousea began to arouse boards and patrons early In the spring, which has resulted In the building of one- eight-room building one one floor, one four-room on one floor, one two-room, four one-room, and one two-room 'an nex. .

'I be ballot n umber ire 356 and 357, Affirmative Argument Can Oregon afford to be without tbe protection of a constitution, one that la more difficult to change than tbe least Important of laws? The found ers of our government did not under estimate the need or the Importance of laws, but Ihey did carefully safe guard Law making by brief and concise rules, defining certain personal and property rights regarded as sacred to every cltlun and fundamental to lib erty, equality and development. Wash ington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Webster, .'lay and Lincoln, stood for constltu loual safeguarda, not easily changed. Our country has made tbe most re markable development known to his tory, making great strides even during he Civil war, with such constitutional limitations. What Oregon most needs Is a revival of business and business never was done except for profit. Un lets our constitution and laws Invite business by offering certain and am ple protection, employment for labor not In sight. Tbe men who for years past bave been seeking to re verse our tag system and establish Ine quality of taxation, now propose to write a statute into the constitution, and by a mere assertion of authority to keep alive the Issue ot exemplons and taxation for four more years. Uucb agitation, aimed at Investors aud busi ness In general, la not designed to re store business nor permit prosperity. Employment Is far more vital to tbe laborer than Is tbe dodging of a few dollars of tax.

Public docks and water frontage amendment The purpose of this amendment is to prohibit the sale of the beds of navigable waters (at bank full stage), and subjecting the same to public use for water commerce, navigation, and improvements in aid thereof ; authorizing the construction of municipal docks on such lands within the municipality, or within five miles from its corporate limits, and authorizing the leasing of such lands for the construction of rnvate docks, when not need ed by the public or municipalty, giving one moiety of the rents to the munici pality and one to the common school fund. The ballot numbers are 329 and 328. Initiated by authority of C. S. Jackson, JourmJ building, Portland, Ore gon, and F. W. Mulkey, room 21 Mulkey building, corner Second and Morrison streets, Portland, Oregon. Municipal wharves and docks bill. The purpose of this act is to authorize cities and towns to construct, operate and maintain wharves, docks, piers, etc., kinds, the said wharves, piers, docks, within the city or town, or within five authorizing the leasing of submerged wharves, etc, when said lands are not docks, etc. The ballot numbers are These two measures, one a proposed and the other bill for an act, are considered together and the same arguments used for both as they are both part of the same plan, backed by the same in terests and opposed by the same men. Affirmative Argument The pflrpose of the proposed consti tutional amendment and initiative bill designated on the ballot as the "Pub lic Docks and Water Frontage Amend ment" and the "Municipal Wharves and Docks Bill" is to prohibit the state from selling or disposing of the beds of its navigable waters and subjecting the same to use for water commerce, navigation and improvements in aid thereof, and giving municipalities the right to construct public docks there on. If these measures pass adjoining upland owners who have never built wharves upon state lands under the wharf act of 1S62 will lose their right to do so and municipalities may build public docks on such lands within their limits or within five miles ot their limits. If muncipalttes do not de sire to use such lands they may be leased under periodic valuation at fair rental with a privilege to lease given to upland owners if they meet the best bid offered. Any time after ten years if the municipalities need any of tbe state lands within their limits or five miles adjacent thereto leased to pri vate interests they may take over the same by paying a fair value for the private improvements erected thereon. The fact that they have once im proved their lands even though such improvements have been destroyed protects their license from revocation under the proposed measures. These measures are also revenue producing, in as much as leases of these state lands can only be given upon payment of rents based upon fair values. Oregon is a marine state. She must use her harbors. What she needs is to be able to market her products at the least possible cost for transportation; to develop a transportation system by water that will open up to her world markets for her natural resources and farm products. The Panama canal brings her eight thousand miles nearer to tbe Atlantic seaports. Whether she will profit by this splendid opening de pends upon her ability to develop and :i Article IX, Kate conttitution, to pro of all property and exemption of fiOO, business, and labor will benefit thou sand 1 1 inea more Ihsn by threatening wealth with unequal taxation. Notlve Argument Thla amendment takes from th power of a majority of the voters of this state the supreme right to make tax laws and tax amendments to tho stale constitution by the Initiative. If It Is adopted no change can be made In soy tax laws unless It receives a two thirds majority of all who vote on tho bill. This amendment Is baaed on tbe poor principle that a majority should not rule and repudiates tbe American policy of law-making and our plan ot a government by a majority. It glvea to one more than one-third of those who rote power for all time to reject any Important change In the present tax and assessment laws of Oregon, fcven tbe simplest Income tax law could not be made with less than two-thirds majority. Tbe argument of the affirmative Is weak. In defense of the amendment It Is stated that our tax laws need to be fixed permanently In order to In duce Industrl.-s to come to the state. The growth of a commonwealth Is Largely dependent on progressive and modern tax laws. This amendment would bold the state back in making sucb measures and force on Oregon a handicap which would favor neighbor ing slates. This law would make al most impossible to repeal any tax law or amendment which was actually det rimental to the development ot tba state.

Unless Oregon builds up a marine business in every harbor along her coast line and inland water ways by the cheapest of water transportation she will be at a decided disadvantage in the fight with her competitors en poying a shorter rail haul In conti nental business. The decision of the supreme court of the United States in the long and short haul Spokane rate case makes this so clear that it-is be yond dispute. Negative Argument. Owners of waterfront property will be derived of their property without due process of law, industries will be driven from tbe state and Intending in vestors will turn their backs upon Ore gon if these two bills, known as the public docks and water frontage amendment and tbe municipal wharves and dock bill are approved by the vot ers at tbe fall election. These bills do not protect the interests of the state. Tbe state has the right to deed the land adjoining navigable streams between high and low water marks and derive a revenue therefrom. Under the proposed laws the state will take away from a man the right to build a dock extending below the low-water mark. It will erect a wall in front of property at low-water mark. Between this low-water mark and the harbor line the state reserves the right to build. Now as a matter of fact In some places in Portland the low-water mark and the harbor line are practi cally Identical. The space between them varies from a few inches to very few feet. Now the Btate would be unable to utilize this narrow strip and at the same time the owner would not be able to build upon it. These bills are as absurd as telling a man he cannot walk upon the side walk in front of his own house. The object of these measures is to obtain revenue. Tbe object is to charge prop erty owners for the use ot their own property.
