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.

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

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-

Ldst week at a special election

the water bond measure carried
with only a few dissenting votes,
or in other words about the
same proportion as the bonding
election carried in Madras nearly
a year since.
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,

were taken up by a Denver firm.

Single Tax Unjust Says 'Girl.
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

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. Tie mun
with a home must got It out of the
land and if his crops fall, where
Is he?
"Single Tax means the Government
ns owner of the land and the farmer
as tenant. It can mean nothing "else."
