NO. 34 FORD IS WORLD'S niiiii l nvi KWI MAN BT A WIDE MARGIN Wall Street Doffs Its Hat to Michigan Farmer goy and Crows Dizy Counting Hii Huge Fortune. Special to The eLader. By Robert Fuller. New yorK, Oct. ivva:i street, tne money mart of the world, lias doffed Hs bat to Henry Ford and admits that he Is now the richest man in the world. The farmer boy of Dearborn, Mich., but now the world's createst automo bile builder, Is credited with ?1S0,000, 000 cash on hand and an estimated an nual Income, wh.ch for 1922 will total $125,000,000 before taxes ere deducted or $110,000,000 clear. With earnings wheh (iverage about $100 a car, Heny Ford's company could be capitalized r.t ?2.O0O,000,00O and pay 5 per cent on the money. Perhaps the most Interesting thine about the Ford fortune, to the owners of his now famous ca', Is the Import ance of the replacement part sales. Wall Street says a profit of $15,000,000 Is made from this source to keep the mllions of cars now on the roads in running condition. Ford's taxes in 1921 were $50,000, 000. This year, with the excess profit tax, abolished, he will pay only 116.000.000 of his $125,000,000 !nnme, Wall Street shakes a sad head when such news is passed out for consump tion, and admits that the former Michigan farm boy has won his own game and Is a Wall Street unto Him self. ' Wall Street Itself pays Ford $7, 200,000 annually In interest at 4 per cent on bis millions which flow through thei-e on lours. These figures were furnished Wall Street in a ticker statement this week.

GOVERNOR OLCOTT I TO TAKE ACTIVE I PART IN CAMPAIGN Portland When the republican county central committee convened Monday night at library hall, it enter tained certain eminent members or the party and thoy in turn enter tained It,- by addresses replete with admonitions to support the party anu its principles, and predictions of sweeping success at the November election. The enunciation of such views never failed to elicit genuine storms of applause, but the appear ance of Governor Olcott brought the committee members and casual spec tators to their feet in tributo. Governor Olcott did not bade a political speech. In rather diffident, humorous manner he greeted them as friends, deplored the fact that he I had ben so busied with executive duties that his participation in the ! campaign, up to the present, had been negligible, but assured a'l j within hearing that he was watch- ing with Intense interest the strenu- ous and high-spirited progress of andidate Gump, the 100 per cent Amerlcan whose boast is that he Is collarless. Then the governor, pre facing the significant statement by a plea that in a moment he must catch a train fo rSalem, said that henceforth folk would know that he was ln the lists. "From this time on," Governor Olcott pledged himself, "I am going to take an active part In the cam- palgn to the end, that success may , attend the republican ticket ln No vember. Oregonian.

COUNTY UNIT PLAN IS EXPLAINED BY All Schools of District Will Be ; Greatly Benefitted and Espec ially So in Rural Districts Says Victor Srawe- There Is a law now operative In Oregon which provides that when tho majority of- the voters of any county wish to do so they may place the administration of county school af fairs In the hands of a central board of education consisting of five mem bers elected at large from the coun ty. In administering the business of the various schools within the county the board of education would be ad vised and assisted by the directors ot the present school districts. In the enactment of this law, now known as the County Unit Plan, tho original intent was primarily to bene fit the small rural districts. In prac tical operation nil schools in a county are benefited at a reduced cost to the tax payers. There are two outstanding features In the County Unit Plan; first, a "blanket" tax assessed equally against all property in the county; second, a centralized board of education work ing for the best possible good of all school children within the county and given authority to use common sense and practical business Judgment' In Bchool matters. In Lincoln county as nearly as cau be estimated the annual cost of new desks and similar equipment for the various schools averages in the nelgh- - ;borhood of three thousand dollars. Supeinrtendent Goln says that under the County Unit plan this annual cost could be practically eliminated by apportioning the school equipment already owned In the county among ,the schools according to their present needs. Another and more Important item for evonomy woud be In the employ ing of teachers. Under the County Unit plan children would be permit ted to attend any school in the coumy, and by permitting pupils of neighbor ing schools to attend a central school the county to furnlah transportation where necessary, it Is estimated that the services of fourteen teachers could be dispensed with, effecting an annual saving to the tax payers of Lincoln county of more than twelvu thousand dollars. The employing of teachers is an other matter that, under the Count Unit Plan, cou'.d be handled more sat isfactorily than at present. Now when it becomes necessary for a small school district to employ a new teacher the directors as a usual thing must rely upon the employment agen cies or upon references written by unknown school directors' and school principals and submitted by unknown teachers. Such references are usually more or less worthless It Is an In competent person Indeed who can't se cure references. So from year to year the directors of rural districts are forced to take chances regarding the ability of the teacher they employ, and if the teacher proves Incompetent it means that a year of the children a '.Ives Is worse than wasted. A county board of education, co-ciperatlng with the State Sluool superintendent'- of fice and 'with the other boards of education In the state, would be ahlo to learn definitely regarding the ab ility and personality of the teachers employed, and thus (he Incompetents, the failures could be eliminated. The only objection that has been heard recently regarding the County Unit plan was stated a few days ago by a well known citizen of Lincoln county. He sold there weren't five voters ln Lincoln county competent to serve on a board of education. And what do you think of that for an ob jection! The voters of this county will b given a chance at the November elec tion to decide whether they want to continue along in the same education al rut, or whether they want a new and more progressive educational pro gram fo Lincoln county chllden. Why not perpuane stnte superin tendent Churchill to come In here and tell the voters about the advantages and disadvantages of the County Unit plan? VICTOR SHAWE. Back Into Europ,
