An Important Cut-Price Feature In The Owl Drug Stores: SUPPORT IS WITHDRAWN Lifelong Member of Bourbon Party Cannot Subscribe to Bigotry in Education. 26 I i rV .-.'.' :,wi l '. f E ' - - i I would authen Oglesby Young, well known as a democrat, who describes himself as a life-long member of that party, has addressed a letter to "Walter M. Pierce, democratic candidate for governor, and yesterday gave out the letter for publication. In it he takes Mr. Pierce to task for his indorsement of the educational bill and saya that Pierce, whom he sup ported in the primaries, has "aban doned the proudest traditions of democracy, namely, religious and political freedom." The letter fol lows: PORTLAND. Or.. Sept. 14, 1822. Hon. Walter II. Fierce, La Grande, Or. Dear Senator: I have read your letter under date of September 3, as published in the dally press yesterday, and were fnr th fart that the letter appears to have been formulated and signed by you, after mature deliberation, entertain grave doubts of it! lil!tV. "You say: ' "I did not bring religion into this ramnaiKn. I refuse to meet It. It is not an issue. We are living in Amprlra. t he land of the free, the Uth century, where everyone can wor ship God as ho pleases. IHstlnct Issue Is Raised. It may be true that you did not brin religion into this campaign, but you have met it, and you have made it dis tinctively an issue by publicly proclaim ing your indorsement of the so-called compulsory school bill, the evident pur nrtM of which is to injure, if not to de stroy, the Catholic church in Oregon. You express the belief , that "we would have a better generation of America, fre from Bnobbery and bigotry, if all -h tl Aren. ud to and including the eighth irra.de. were educated in the free public schools." Why would you restrict the control of parents over their children between the ages 6f 8 and 16 only If It be best for the state to exercise arbitrary control over children between the a get of 8 and 16 years, would it not, at least, be well for the state to exercife a like control between the ages of 6 months and 8 years, or between the ages of 16 and 21 years? If private schools beget snobs and bigots between the ages of 8 and 16 years, -is it not equally true that pri vaet colleges beget snobs and bigots be tween the ages of 16 and -1 years oi older ? In addition to our public grade schools, we have the public high schools, the state university, the Oregon Agricultural college and the normal at Monmouth. If you favor a law abolishing all pri vate schools, below the high school grade, why not, with equal consistency, favor a law abolishing all private schools above the grammar grade including pri ate colleges, such as Reed institute, and thereby compel all who may desire an educat ion in Oregon to attend our public colleges ? "Sectarian Garb" Discussed. You favor legislation prohibiting "wearing of sectarian garb" by teachers in our public schools. 1 do not under stand what you mean by "sectarian garb." I have been a resident of Ore iron for 30 years and never heard of a teacher in this state wearing sectarian ararb. If you would prohibit the simple cross worn about the neck or on the breast of some who are affiliated with the Catholic or the Episcopalian church, would you also prohibit wearing the in signia of the Masonic order, the East ern Star, the Rebekahs, the Elks, the Women of Woodcraft and the numerous other fraternal or secret orders? If you would prohibit wearing of these emblems, you could, either by affirma tive legislation, or by a process of elimi nation, prescribe the exact garb, style and material to be worn by teachers In the public schools and if you can, by iaw, prescribe the style and the ma terial of dress to be worn in oublic schools, then why not prescribe the style, material, cut and fashion to be worn by persons in all public places; in other words, why not regulate ' by law, the dress, habits and conduct of all the peo ple in the state, and thereby more read ily reach the millennium which the radi cal socialists have so long advocated. You doubtless know, but many appear not to know, that we have had, since 1007. in Oregon, a law compelling all children of school age to attend some school, the course of study being regu lated by the school board in the district where the school is conducted. State Rights Not Neglected. The state has a right to see that the children of the state are not neglected, and the only reasonable excuse for hav ing a compulsory school law is to protect the children of neglfgent and indifferent parents or guardians and secure to such children the advantages offered by our public schools; but such law should not be used to encourage parents who are anxious to be relieved of their parental responsibility and throw the burden of the support and maintenance of their children onto the public nor to deprive intelligent, affectionate parents of their natural right to properly discipline, con trol and be responsible for the educa tion, maintenance and general conduct of tneir cmdren. There appears to be a wirfesnrpari propaganda to the effect that there is an organized effort, on the part of certain reugous sect, to destroy our pUDHC School system. Our annronrta. lions and taxes for public schools have marvelously increased during- the last 10 years and still are Increasing. A' special election was held in school din trict so. i, .Portland, Or., on the 17th day of June, 1022, at which only about li.OOO votes were cast. More than la.onn Photo copyright by Underwood.

Hand ling of Emergency Fund Is Said to Be Cause of Confu sion in Finances. Changes in the present budget accounting system of tne county which would eliminate uncertainty and remove undesirable features were proposed in a letter from the tax conservation and supervision commission to the county commis sioners. The apparent cause of confusion in administering county finances Is the present provision for handling emergency measures, according to he letter. The letter proposed "a compre hensive appropriation resolution which should be passed in Decem ber of each year based on the bud et, Which should include one em ergency Item suDject to reappro- priation throughout the year as emergencies arise, and which should be used only for actual emergen cies." The tax commission recommended that no county spending officer be permitted to disburse funds or make the county liable unless an appropriation has been made first t cover that particular field. An entirely new and formal ap propriation system which will fit in with the present budget laws was suggested, with recommenda tions for the working out of the details for the distribution and transfer of money from the emer gency fund to other depleted funds, and the transfer backs to ' the emergency fund of surplus funds for which there is no longer any need. No action was taken by the com missioners, who refenred the letter to County Auditor Martin for con sideration and approval. and of the summer session of the University of California, has been added to the teaching staff of the school of pharmacy of the North Pacific college, according to an nouncement made yesterday. Pro fessor Schneider will act as head of the departments of pharmacology and of sanitary science. The professor is widely known in medical and pharmaceutical circles throughout the United States. As chairman of the conference research committee of the American confer ence of pharmaceutical faculties he has taken an active part in research. devoting considerable time to work in cancer. He has written a number of text books, among which are "Pharma ceutical Bacteriology," "Microanal ysis of Powdered Drugs." Phone your want ads to The Ore gonian.

Tax Increase Predicted. In sll your camnaiffn ' sneAnhpj vnn advocate a reduction of taxes, yet, by abolishing all private schools now In Oregon, you would increase the taxes for public srhool purposes to the extent of irom srsu.inio to 1, 000,000 a year, aside from confiscating the property of pri ate schools In this state which have been endowed, established and main tained through motives of benevolence and patriotism of the highest order, depriving the instructors therein of their positions ana aoiuty to maintain them selves and their families. I always have been a democrat, not for policy but from principle. You were my candidate tor governor f this state, and I was proud and happy In support ing you as a real democrat, but in sup porting this proposed school bill you have, in my Judgment, abandoned the proudest traditions -of democracy; namely, religious and political freedom. You have plunged deliberately Into the midst of socialism and paternalism, both of which are the antithesis of true democracy, as this measure is socialism and paternalism the most extreme. Lest you may think that my senti ments in relation to this matter are Inspired by some religious Intolerance. I will state that I have, at present, no church affiliations. I was raised under Protestant influences; three of my ma ternal uncles spent their lives as min isters of the llethodist Episcopal church 1 therefore hold no brief for any church or religious denomination, but resent any attempt to curtail or abbreviate in the slightest degree, the political and religious freedom guaranteed us by our constitution.
