COUNTY SCHOOL
FUND REPORTED
INSUFFICIENT
According to figure now belli
compiled by llronton Veddor, county
nchool auperlntendent, the Khoot
fund for the coming year will have a
deficit of about 113.000. which will
either have lo be made up by the
county court from tho general fund,
or Interem bearing warrant, Ittaued.
Voder lat year" aeHment, the
valuation of all property In Clacka
mas county outside of regular high
school district, was $17,877,142.33.
and of thl amount, the county school
superintendent' offloa waa allowed
two mllla. or I35.754.2S, to do bual
ne with fr past year 1920 A bal
ance of $5000 was loft In the treasury
fmra the proceeding Voar, making a
grand total In round number of $40,
754. The bill from outside high
school districts, not Including Oregon
City, are now In tho superintendent's
hand, and although the entire
amount ha not been summed up,
the coHt to educate Clttcknma ntud
ent will bo more than $52,000, and
the superintendent's office has n
fund of $10,754 to pay these cost
1'nder the law, any student living
outside of a regular high school dis
trict ran attend any high school she
or he may wish, with tho tuition paid
by tho county. Therefore. Oregon
City district alone has a bill against
tho county of over $10,000 for the' past
year. Marion and Washington count
!o alao have presented bill for large
sums.
According to Mr. Veddor, the rea-.
son for tho huith amount to he paid
by Clackamss county In ertiioiilig lis
students for the past year Is on Re
count of the Increased salaries of
teachers and the Increased attendance
In tho high schools- He ha not com
pleted the figures as yet , but the
above condition aa to finance Is near
ly -Ipht, and the sum that the county
will have to pay will probably amount
to more when the bills are tabulated

LEGAL UGHT
SELF, WIFE DYING
Deranged by the ff?ar of a third
stroke of paralysis, Colonel Schuyler
Colfar Spwieer, prominent clubman
and attorney, shot his wife and killed
himself with a bullet through the
heart about 7:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning In the Spencers' fashionable
Willamette Height home at 1126
Thurman street, Fort land. j
Mrs- Spencer Is fighting for life in
Stl Vincent hospital. According to
hospital attendants, she will die, but
Dr. E. A. Sommer said she might be
saved by an operation.
The tragedy took place Wednesday
morning before the household had
been aroused, The sound of a muffl
ed shot was heared by Mrs. Dorru
Jones, who lived with her two young
daughters In the Spencer home, where
she wa the housekeeper.
Although there were no witnesses.
Spencer apparently had shot his wife
in tho side with a bullet from a .45
calibre revolver, while they were In
their bedroom.
Mrs. Jones ran toward the room
Just as Mrs- Spencer staggered out,
her hand clasped to her side.
Crying Incoherently, she made hei
way down the staircase with Mrs
Jones, toward the telephone to in
form the police.
Cnablo to break Into the room, po
lice uud neighbors placed a ladder
against the room by a window.
Dr. Sommer. who was one of the
first persons to reach the house,
plckod up Mrs. Spencer and adminis
tered emergency treatment. ' She was
taken to tho hospital.
Temporary Insanity, Induced by 111
health "and extreme nervousness, was
the only explanation of Spencer's ac
tion that friends would consider as at
all possible tins morning.
Spencer was well known In Oregon
City among the legal fraternity. He
secured a divorce from his fin-t wife
here in 1891, and the decree was
handed down by Judge Mcllrlde, act
ing for 1-oyal H. Sterns, then judge
ot the circuit court of this district.
The complaint tiled by Spencer at
the tlmo alleged desertion.

' Sacrifice of blood and treasure, so far as the United
States was involved, came to a sudden termination two
years ago when reppresenatives of the German govern
ment executed an armistice with the supreme command
er of the allied forces. The fighting that had lasted
since August,, 1914, and had resulted in the destruction
of millions of lives and billions in property came to an
abrupt stop, and all the world breathed easier. Our gal
lant boys who poured into France in time to turn the
scale, made victory possible.
That was two years ago. Subsequent events are
fresh in our memories. Heads of a few o$ the allied
nations, including the president of this country, finally,
after months of deliberation, concluded a treaty of peace
with the central powers, and tied to the treaty, a coven
ant that provided that might should rule. The senate
of the United States, authorized by our constitution to
act in conjunction with the executive in negotiating
treaties, and ignored and insulted by the executive, re
fused to accept the covenant unless it should be care
fully safe-guarded with reservations calculated to pre
serve the soveringity of . this nation. Mr. Wilson
promptly appealed to the people and nine days before
the second anniversary of Armistice Day, the people
spoke decisively at the ballot box and repudiated the
Versaillies agreement.
So, after two years, we are technically at war with
Germany. Mr. Wilson has forced this country to ar
range for a separate peace by tieing to the peace treaty
a document that had no place there, and we may now
expect congress, backed by a great referendum of the
people, a "solemn referendum" if you please, to put an
end to a state of war.
America today, assured of her political and nation
al integrity, will do honor to the men who carried the
flag to foreign soil that liberty might survive.
