Elucational Benefits Unlimited The benefits derived from a Union High School located in the Northern part of Crook County, ran not be estimated, as it will benefit all of the residents who have chidren to send to school or may have them to send in future years as well as those who own land and are non residents. The matter of expence being the principal item that appeals to most every person interested, and while we will have a small additional tax the first year to what we now have to pay for the carrying on of the Crook Crook County High School, the benefit in after years will be many times repaid. Education is the most import ant factor in the lives of our children, it brings them health, tin fort as well as financial standing in the business world or at the time that they may leave ho.ne and go into the world for themselves, all parents feel better w'len they know that their son or daughter have had the advan tage of a good education, you fael that he or she is capable of taking care of themseves, shoud it become a necessity, by some hannenincr in the family circle, as often takes nlace. Speaking of the cost of educat ing your children, a Union High School, that will teach all of the f located in Narthern Crook County, will al low your children to be nearer to you and at the same time you can make arrangements to biard them much cheaper here than you could possibly do by sending them to the County HUh School, where you would have to pay for their board out right, without the oDportunity of f amishing a part of theirjooard from the farm, as could be done when nearer home. It takes an educated person to b3 a successful farmer as wel as it does a business man, we are all striving to attain a high er degree of civilization, and this can only be done by better eduactional facilities, so let us all take an interest in the com ing election for a Union High School and see that we place our selves on record as being in favor of better education for the rural districts of Oregon and Norhern Crook County. The Qld Days and the New Th irtpfl of the third-termers, , crystallized now into the organi- zation of a new-uorn fhuui. party, is that Colonel Roosevelt wasn't nominated for president, W Mint he oucrht to have been. That the sole reason and the sole explanation of the movement. The same phenomenon appeals in the controversay over the dele gates from the State of Wash ington and practically every other state in dispute. Colonel ?nnsfivelt did not have the dele gates, but he ought to have had them. Colonel Roosevelt in otner states did not carry the primar ies; for there were no primaries hut he would have carried them if the bosses had not intervened to defeat the wish of the people for primaries. So it coes. The people wanted Roosevelt and could not get him through the Republican party. But they are going to have him anyway. Hence the Rosevelt par- tv. A DODular vote in 1860 would probably have nomianted.bewarc not Lincoln: Blaine not Hays, in 1876 : Grant or Blaine , not Garfield, in 1880: and who can sav who would have been Vice President in 1900, and therefore President in 1912? Would Roose velt ever have been President? No man can say. The party held together then surviving even the bitter Blaine Conkling feud and the -Hayes Tilden imbroglio. Now nobody cares whether it survives or not or not many seem to care . The Bull Moosers, with no greater provcoation than Grant had, or Blane had or Colking had , or Sherman had, are determined to destroy the party. Oregonion Ineviable Evolution The nation will have great crops this year, but the record will be broken in the near fu ture when the possibilities of soi nroduction are realized under i the scientific methods that wil be put more and more in opeation as those who culivate the soi cDme to understand just what is required to put the land under the highest state of cultivation and keep it there.

Miss Telford declared after tho on- counter that she was sure of nor ficbt bocnuso she had right on her side, while she was eiiuahy suro her friends had to debate n cause wnn which they had no conviction. Some of Miss Telford's points were most trenchant. Hero are some in them: Farmer Loses Land. "In case weather cqndltlons did not favor crops and tlie landowner was unable to meet his taxes, then either tho Government would take the land in payment of the taxes or It would be sold to the highest bid- dor. "This would load to anarchy. "But more the homeowner would defend his country and not so tho tenant.

It will be remembered that contracts for the water systems of Madras and Redmond were sicmed up at the same time with Jeffrey and Bufton, of Portland, but owing to many corrections that had to be made in the tharters of the two municipali cies to have everything right, for the sale of the bonds, which were taken up by a Denver firm. the City of Redmond seems to be the last one to get their char ter amended, and the last to get their system installed The benefit of a good water ystem can ony be appreciated by a town that has one and the people know what they can do with it.

In her opening argument lilsie Tel ford said that Single Tax is unjust, because all wealth should bear a just and equal share of the expenses of the Government. If all buslnoss and the products of labor are exempt from taxation, which they will be un der so-called Single Tax, taxos on land values, water powers, natural depos its, etc., will have to be raised accord ingly to make up tho deficit. "For the same amount of money as before will be required to run the Government," added Miss Telford. "The extra tax on water powers and natural deposits will not affect the common man, but the extra tax on land will work a hardship on him. Land Taxed, But Not Cash. "For instance, If a man cuts some wood and raises some potatoes, sells them and takes the money derived therefrom to the bank, Single Tax says his money shall be exempt from taxation It Is the result of the man'o labor. .- " "Hut If he cuts some wood ' and raises some potatoes, sells them, and invests the money In a few lot for his home, Single Tax says these lots must be taxed. Does not th!3 land still represent the result of. this man's labor? His money in the bank la exempt from taxation and is drawing Interest as well, but tho same amount of labor Invested In land Is. taxed. Small Home Owner Hit. "It Is tho man with the small home that will not be able to pay the extra tax. The landlord always has a way of making others pay it.
