ON SCHOOL GARDEN
Agricultural Art Gains but
Benefit to Children Is Fore-
most, He Says.
FARM HIGH SCHOOL BACKED

WOODLAWN SCHOOL GARDENS.
Alfalfa Expert Iarns About Boy,
Who, Expelled From Other Dis
tricts, Makes Success at Wood
lawn, Where Ideas Interest.
' Agriculture aa a part of the public
school curriculum and as exemplified
by the school gardens and the pro
posed agricultural high school in Port
land received the emphatic Indorse
ment yesterday of Perry O. Holden, the
diversified farming expert who has
been touring the Northwest for the
last few months.
In company with L. R. Alderman, City
Superintendent of Schools, J. A. Church
ill. State Superintendent, O. M. Plum
mer, member of the School Board, H.
K. Weed, landscape gardener, and N. C
Maris, field agent of the State Agricul
tural College, Mr. Holden visited the
"Woodlawn school and the site of the
proposed agricultural high school in
the southeast portion of the city.
"Portland is on the right track in
seeking to train its boys and girls in
agricultural pursuits not so much on
account of the good that they will do
the agricultural industry, but for the
good that this work will do for the
boys and girls." said Professor Holden.
Old Polks Hard to Teach.
"It Is pretty hard to break some of
the old-fashioned folks over to the
idea that there is something to be
learned in school besides the classics,
but they are coming around to the
modern way and the oniy right way
of thinking.
"How many boys and girls ever have
need for the classics anyway? Only
three or four per cent. For the last
few decades we have been fitting our
educational work to suit those three
or four per cent.
"Now we are starting- our school
training along lines that will be of
actual need to our future generations.
Our boys and girls will be of some use
in the world. These agricultural les
sons, combined with manual training,
cooking and other vocational educa
tion wil lglve the children an opoi1
tunity of finding what work they are
fitted for."
Profesor Holden displayed a keen in
terest in the work being uone at Wood
lawn. There he met Professor T. J.
Newbill, principal of the school, who
has been one of the leaders in this
modern movement. Miss Barbare, Miss,
Campling and other teachers who have
been very active in the work.
Winter Garden Viewed.
Miss Alice Joyce, another of the
teachers, who accompanied the Holden
party on one of their trips last week,
was one of the guides through the
highly developod Woodlawn Winter
garden. The boys and girls of Wood
lawn are proving by actual demon
stration that most of the hardier vege
tables can be grown In the Winter as
well as in the Summer in the favored
Oregon climate and soil.
One boy, who had been expelled from
other schools of the city, was hard at
work yesterday afternoon. He is a
student at Woodlawn now and con
tinues his Interest in school work
merely on account of the garden. He
faithfully folows his work in the "ma
jor" studies too.
Superintendent Alderman explained
yesterday that while the school garden
work in the past has been done by the
boys and girls on their own time, in
the future regular time will be allowed
for it during the school hours. It will
be a part of the school curriculum.
Those boys and girls who are not in
terested in music, drawing and other
Btudies of doubtful value will be re
quired to account for themselves in
cultivation of vegetables and flowers.
Farm School Site Viewed.
Following the trip to Woodlawn the
entire party visited the tract of 16
acres that the School Board has de
cided to buy for the use of the pro
posed agricultural Tilgh school. The
choice met with the hearty approval
01 i-roressor .tioiaen.
The board has secured the property
for $47,000. It adioins the nroattm
school and is accessible from all parts
01 me city, Deing convenient to two
car lines. It is proposed to expend
.suu,ouu in buildings and equipment
next year if the bond issue for that
purpose is carried.
Students in any part of the city can
eieci 10 iaite me agricultural course
Instead of the regular hlsrh school
. course, according to trie plans of the
ocnooi Board. This will be the first
agricultural nigh school operated by
Oregon Expected to Contribute
$300,000 or More Yearly.
CITIZENS LEARN OF LAW
STORE PAYS UP AND QUITS
Aiontavllla Mutualist Association
Blames Management.
The Montavilla Mutualist Associa
tion's store has quit, and Tuesday night
the directors met and closed up the
business. After running a year, the
.Montavilla co-operative store quit with
a loss of $600, but every dollar of obli
gations has been paid. The wholesale
men who sold the association goods
have received their money. A. N. Searle,
who was very much interested in mak
ing this co-operative store a success,
said yesterday:
"The co-operative store would have
teen a success and would have worked
out all right, but we happened to have
a bad manager. A good business was
worked up. We sold out and have
.closed everything honorably, paying
our obligations. Our loss during the
year Was $600, due to the managemen
only. Co-operation is all right in prin
ciple, but It must have a thoroughly
competent and honest management or
it will fall, as will any business that is
not properly managed."
xne .montavilla co-operative store
was organized by the assistance of the
Albina Mutualist Association and was
modeled alter the latter association
which also failed some time ago. These
co-operative stores were projected by a
committee. appointed by ex-Mayo
Kushlight, to solve the problem of the
high cost of living. The co-operative
stores in tne Mount scott and Wood
stock districts are in operation as yet.
Rancher Stricken Totally Blind.
KOSEBURG, Or., Nov. 12. (Special.
james Morgan, aged bu years, one o
Looking Glass' best-known citizens,
was stricken totally blind late Monday.
He was doing some chores about his
ranch, when he suddenly became dizzy.
Staggering into his home he informed
his wife that he believed he was goin
blind. An instant later all was dark
rtess to him. Local physicians fear that
he will not recover his sight.

Scores of Capitalists and Big Wage-
Earners Apply for Information
at Internal Revenue Office.
Ignorance Xo Excuse.
Oregon is expected to contribute
300,000 annually in income taxes to
the Federal Government.
This is the figure that the revenue
fficials at Washington, D. C, have
tentatively fixed upon, but actual col
lection of the first installment of taxes
next March 1 may enow Oregon's share
to be much greater than this.
Oregon's capitalists, captains of ln
ustry, big wage-earners and others of
that fortunate class that Is required
to pay income taxes are preparing to
pay. Scores of them have visited the
internal revenue officers within tne
last few weeks to learn what the law
requires them to do. They are eager
to pay.
Blanks Soon Ready.
The Government now is preparing
blanks to be furnished to persons who
are expected to pay income taxes.
These will be distributed before the
end of the month. Income taxpayers
will be expected to study the blank
forms and familiarize themselves with
the law's requirements. In anticipation
of such requirements many persons In
Portland are preparing schedules of
their receipts.
Little difficulty is expected In en
forcing that provision of the law thaV
requires the tax to be deducted "at tne
source" of the Income. This applies
only to the "normal tax," which is 1
per cent on the first ?3000 of the in
dividual's Income.
This provision of the law applies to
income accruing from interest upon
bonds, mortgages, deeds of trust or
other similar obligations, excepting
Federal, state, municipal, school or
county bonds even though Income
from such sources does not amount to
$3000.
The law anticipates that holders of
bonds will file a certificate of owner
ship when they deposit their aoupons
for collection. The -past practice has
been for holders of bonds to deposit
their coupons with their banks for
credit
At Prtsent Confusion Arisen.
If, however, the coupons or Interest
orders are not accompanied by certifi
cates of ownership, the first bank or
other collection agency shall deduct
the tax and shall attach to the coupons
its own certificates,, giving the name
of the owner or of the person who de
posited them for collection.
Deduction of the tax on "normal in
comes" has been effective since No
vember 1, according to the terms of the
law. This has caused considerable con
fusion among financial agencies ac
cepting coupons for redemption and
among agents for corporations with
heavy bond issues outstanding.
A simple expedient has been adopted
however- that of accepting the coupons
for collection and not crediting them
on account. After the system of with
holding the tax becomes thoroughly es
tablished this plan can be abondoned.
The law specifies that all "debtors
shall be required to withhold the tax
from Interest on notes wherever such
Interest for a year exceeds $3000.
It is estimated that it will require
five men in the internal revenue office
here to handle the income tax collec
tions for Oregon. One man will be
placed in charge of the Income-tax
bureau.
of the taxpayers, and a request was
ordered sent to the Board of Educa
tion asking that provision be made in
the budget for its establishment. It
was asserted that 400 pupils are attending-
the trades school at Eleventh
and Couch streets and that many have
been refused, admission. O. E. Heinta,
president, declared he considered the
trades school of great importance and
that an adequate building should, be
provided as soon as possible.
The club went on record as opposed
to spending money for repairs to the
Armory and adopted a resolution ask
ing the County Commissioners to se
cure a site on the East Side and erect
a suitable building, where there will
be room for a parade ground.
J. J. Oeder was appointed chairman
of the luncheon to be held November
26. He will select a speaker and preside.
Wardens Know Vandals But
Make No Arrests (
Game Slentna Sharply Criticised by
Their Chief for Failure to Preaerre
Warnings to Hunters.
THE State Fish and Game Commls
. sion has been much put out by
the tearing down of signs posted in
the game preserves of Crook and Lane
Counties.
At the last session of the Legisla
ture the land was set aside by a bill
which also provided that the State
Game Warden should mark the
boundaries by placards.
The signs were posted. They were
made of cloth so as to last longer.
Despite the notice on them warning
persons of the $50 to $100 fine, many
of the signs have disappeared.
Almost each mail from the Game
Warden's office carries out letters to
the Deputy Wardens. Some of the
communications clearly showed that
Mr. Finley"s. opinion of the field men
who could not catch the violators was
not exactly complimentary.
Deputy Wardens Riis and Shriner
have discovered the culprits, but say
in the same letter that they can make
no arrests. , They discovered that the
pine squirrels pull the signs down im
mediately after their appearance, tear
ing them into shreds to make thir
Winter nests.
Inasmuch as it is impossible to catch
the large number of violators In that
part of the country. State Game War
den Finley has decided to use tin
posters instead of cloth.
PARK NEEDS SHOWN
Proposed Use for $200,000 in
Bonds Listed in Detail.
VOTERS ARE ASKED TO SAY
City Commissioner Brewster Believes
Citizens AV1U Authorize Issuance,
Knowing How Funds Will Be
Employed and Where.
Believing that the voters of the city
will uphold a bond Issue for the per
manent improvement of public parks
If it is known beforehand just where
the money is to be spent, City Com
misisoner Brewster has prepared a
statement showing where and for
what he proposes to expend the money
to be derived from the sale of $200,-
000 in bonds, provided the voters at
the special election December 9 will
pass a measure authorizing the issu
ance of the bonds.
The statement of Mr. Brewster shows
how $194,853 of the $200,000 will be
spent.
The plan of submitting all Derma
nent park improvements to the people
was originated when the city budget
committee at a recent meeting decided
that the cost of these improvements
snouid be spread over a term of years
instead of being handled by taxation
ail m one year.
The following is a statement Dre-
pareo by commissioner Brewster show
ing how the money will be spent if the
$200,000 bond issue is authorized by the
voters:
