Franzke, proprietor of the Lincoln County Progressive stores, returned the fore part of the week from Los Angeles and San Francisco, where he has been for the past 10 days purchasing winter and holiday; goods for his two stores here ana Newport. Mr. Franzke was very enthusiastic over the business outlook and the spirit of optimism that seems to pre vail in every section that ho visited1 durng hs entre trp. He stated that practrally all commodities are on thrs advance and that buying is plentiful. He spent considerable time In the silk market of 'Frisco and he Is more than pleased with his 'purchases In this line of goods as opportunities are much greater for variety and quality when buying direct from the manufactur er.' He stated that the shoe market shows a steady incrence and that higher prices will necessarily prevail. Mr. Franzke stopped off at Salem for a day nt the fair and also visited Port land before coming home. J. W. GRAHAM RETURNS , FROM .EXTENDED TRIP J. Wi. Graham, leturned Sunday af terno on from a two-week's 1600-mile overland trip to incouver, B. 'c, re turning by way of Seattle, across to Spokane, Wash., and Portland, Ore. where he attended the famous Pen dleton Round-Up. He stated that the Round-Up was a wonderful 'show and is well worth the trip to the eastern Oregon town. He stated that there were more automobiles ct the round up than he imagined there was "in the world," every possbig place suit able for camp grounds : for miles around was utilized and at that many were compelled to "pitch their tents" In inconvenient places. . . , Mr. Graham was impressed at the extra heavy tourist travel everywhere he went. The tourist park at Port land has a registration showing that more than 10,000 automobiles passed through there this summer from "all corners of the nation." Portland seems to be the "mecca of the North-1 west" for tourists as the registration there Is more than double any other place along the line. Seattle has a registration of 4800 tourists for the season. ' , Mr. Graham was accompanied by his brother, J. M. Graham ot Kings Valley. TO TY UNIT PLAN E ; i '. n Letter to Leader G- Frank Glncpr Tnllo Wn.u m,u eLi i V "Or TOllS HOW NOW School Plan Will Work to Advantage of County Educationa Insti tutions. - I have been asked by several tea'hers. and by Mr. Goin. our county superintendent, to write an exposition of the County Unit P!hn of school administration, which will be an issue of the November elections In Lincoln county. From the general favor with which the announcement of this election has been received one might surmise that the issue is well understood; but we are inclined to believe that the con ditions of the proposed change warrant some opposition. It is a well-known political aphorism that "to tell the people more than enough to win their confidence is to court disaster." Being educa tors, and not politicians we 'pre fer the belief that "while truth Is not always a thing of beauty, H isn't the truth's fault." In this exposition I will endeavor to dis pose of some objections that may -be raised against the County Unit Idea. ID the event of the success of this election, Lincoln county would be come one large district. The county court would appoint five men, who are now chairman of district school boards under the present regime, as protempore directors of the county school district. At the next annual school election five directors would be elected from the county at large, one for one year, two for two years, and two for three years. (There is a bill before the state legislature of Oregon which proposes to cliangfl this, dividing . the county .Into sue tfWis'. according to population, so" that one director would be elected from each section of the county. As thu law stands now, however, the five directors would be elected from the county at large.) There may be some objection to the clause which places the appointment , of temporary directors ln the hands of the county court. Some of us have not a superabundance' of confidence in our. commissiners, especially after their reactionary performance in the ! recenwonsolldaton case. But, after all they have to choose from the pre sent cbarman of boards; and these chairmen all apparently enjoy the , confidence of th people who elect them. Furthermore the people can, i hy petition, designate their choice to tlio court and there, officers oaiin jt j well afford to be blind to the wIkiihb 1 4ii their constituents. I Another objection mey be ralrfe'l by ' people in less densely populated bbc- j tions of the county; they are not apt; to have direct representation on the county district board. Tills Is true. But I would like to ask: "Could their schools be as badly neglected under any self-respecting county administra tion as they are under the present mismanagement?" Moreover the local school boards will be retaineu as advisory committees, with power to determine civic uses of the school, and to reject any teacher that may be assigned to their school by the district board. In dead communities this local committee would mean nothing, while in a live community the com mutes will have even greater Influ- j ence, wth greater resources, rnd with-1 cut the burden of responsibility that it bears under present conditions. There Is stil) another objection which might be raised by a few non- -regressive tax-payers In districts : like the one in which I am now tea civ Ing. . The resources of rich BUb-dis-trlcts would bo poo.ed with the rest. so that school tax? will be equalized throughout the county Won't that be nice?. That's ' one. big reason why, we'll vote "yes." 'Z1', j I liavo heard another objection a I personal one, against Mr. Ooln, who would, under existing law, become ex-' officio superintendent of the county ' district until, the terra of his present offce expires! I realize that a better superntendent might be found, just as better teachers might bo found to , till my place. But Mr. Qoin's term j of service ln this county npeaks strongly ln his favor. It would pres-1 age nothing but failure to Install a j new executive at this most critical i point ln our county school career. To anyone who may be worried on this score I would say that, while the superintendent will have greater op portunities for Bervlce thru his recom mendations to the board of directors, he will ' by no means control the board but will act as official execu- tlve of the people's will, as propound- ed by their chosen directors. This seems to cover the principal objections to the County Unit Plan. I will leave a discussion of its won derful advantages for a future com munication. Perhaps . an abler ex ponent will relieve me of that task. Page Superintendent Shawe- O. FRANK G LASER. W. H. WATERBURY AND ' I B. F. JONES PARTNERS f . ..
