Reports reaching the offices of the etate superintendent of public in struction here indicate that prac tically every newspaper in Oregon favors the passage of the so-called two-mill tax measure for the sup port and maintenance of the elemen tary schools of the state, as well as the bills providing more money for the higher educational institutions. E. F. Carleton, assistant state su perintendent of schools, has charge of the campaign for the elementary school tax, and organizations for the support of the bill have been formed in practically every district in the slate. In only a few instances have reports been received indicating op position to the measures. The following clippings from the tate press indicate the popularity of the movement to improve the condi tion of the schools, which is impos sible unless more money is provided to meet the steadily increasing costs of operation: Astoria Budget The mitlage tx meas ure to provide for the levying of two mil la for the maintenance of the firrade schools of the state was unanimously indorsed by the convention of Clatsop county school district directors held on Saturday after noon. Burns News Parents Bhould be made to understand that the elementary schools, rapecially the small district schools, will be hopelesslv crippled for the next few years if this bill fails. Small Schools Helped. Turner Tribune The two-mill tax for MC-hool purposes would not increase direct taxation in itself. This proposed measure merely calls for a readjustment, for the establishment of a new form of unit, which would be beneficial to the taxpayers, rath er than harmful. It would mean that every school In the county would be as sisted, that schools like those of Turner would be allowed needed revenue at no greater expense to the taxpayer. lone Independent Every man and wom an In the state of Oregon who is a loyal American citizen should support the two mill tax for the elementary schools at the May primaries. Heppner Times A dangerous crisis faces the schools at the present time. Many of our teachers are securing various kinds of work for the summer at salaries of $100 ! per month or more. Therefore it behooves, us to support the elementary educational hill which will provide additional funds for every public school in the stale. Vale Enterprise The women of the county have worked hard In the matter of organizing and perfecting parent-teacher associations and they a re looking forward xo the final organization meeting with much interest. They are showing consid erable interest in the mil luge tax and the consensus of opinion and sentiment Is in favor of the adoption of the tax at the coming elections. The interest manifested hy the tentative association is gratifying to those wlirt are doing they can to assure the success of the issue. 1 Tillamook Headlight The proposed two mill tax upon all property of the state for common school purposes will materially id and should receive the active support of every one. Cottage Grove Favors. Cottage Grove Sentinel Mr. Stewart a'so made an appeal for the two-mill rural schools amend ment. He explained that the object of the amendment Is to collect school tax from vast areas of property In the state which now pay no school tax. The tax upon these properties will increase but very few of the owners will object to doing their part to help educate the youth of the state. The money collected from these properties will be divided among- ail the school districts of the county. You have nothing to lose and a possibility of gaining something. Halfway Herald While voters should scrutinize closely all measures for a larger tax, this one will stand examination. The iwo-miu tax aocs not necessarily mean that the school tax in every district will oe larger.

How much should I give to make this a better world? A BUSINESS' man filled oat his income tax report. It showed an income so large that bis tax was 53. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than h found it ! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. ' Our average daily gift for all church causes is less than we spend for daily papers less than a lecai telephone call less than a third of the day's car fare less than 3 cents or day No wonder that 80 of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting def icits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish ; it isn't because we don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a system a tic businesslike way.
