Sheriff "jinks" Taylor, who has been making many successful raids on "moonshiners' in this vicinity, made the biggest catch yet when he and three deputies raided a. place on the Upper Walla Walla river, about six miles above this city. A Ken tuckian named Benson owned the outfit. A 50 gallon copper still wth double coll was in full operation, when the sheriff and his- deputies, after wading through water waist deep to a three roomed cava: in the side of a hill, came upon the man before be detected their approach. Fouf hundred and forty gal lons of corn mash were destroyed and a large quantity of first. run and five gallons of the completed "moonshine," wth the stllL were loaded into an auto mobile and taken, to Athena. Benson was fined $200. He paid the fine at once, taking tbe money from hiss sock.

Reviewed Anew - Teachers Tendre Amendment OppoSed North Dakota Banks' and Laws . Affecting Them-Assault THE SWAN ISLAND PROJECT ' Inquiries Propounded Concerning the Re- ,- vivai oi uie-scneme. . , ; Portland, Dee. " 28. To the Editor of The Journal It seems hardly possible that people who only - two months ago were advocating ' the Swan island real estate scheme, which would have in the end probably involved the taxpayers of Portland to the extent of $50,000,000, are now "up in arms" over the prospect of having to "jay only $K0Wp0O for, a county hospital on Marquarf htU. Tdday we marvel thatSfiBMalttee 'oflS of our leading besiness men, and that three of our. city dailies advocated the Swan island proposition, or that anyone should ever . have thought the people of Port land would approve it, or that emas culated at the eleventh hour, it should have -ieen accepted by. the people by even a 5 per cent majority. Yet it ap-" pears that a new Committee, by the de ciding vote of its chairman, has again revived the scheme and is proposing to have thejegislature provide for the pur chase of Swan Island In the so-called port consolidation bill. Why Is It that the exact terms -of .this proposed bill cannot be ; given publicity before the legislative delegation passes on it? Why can w not have a bill squarely granting tne desired funds to the Port of Port land for the dredging of our river chan nel, without weighting it down with a lot of . other uncalled for provisions? The. Port of Portland is a creature of the state,! whose members are elected by the legislature. The dock - commission is controlled by the city and Its members are named by7 the mayor ; and the voters of Portland, who pay the bills, are. the oniy ones w-no nave a right to say what money it shall. have and how It shall be spent.; Why consolidate it with a state commission, and give the voters of the whole state the right to vote a tax on Portland of which the state at large pays no part? Why should-our city dock system be'- made the football of politi cians In the state legislature? What is gained by this proposed consolidation, anyway? Both the Port of Portland and the dock commission, working separately, have done excellent work. The port has specialized on dredging and pilotage and general channel, problems. The dock commission has specialised on the con struction and operation of our city docks and on waterfront problems. The two commissions have worked in perfect har mony and nobody has ever yet explained how consolidation would promote their efficiency or save the taxpayers a single dollar. At Swan island we have a 80 foot channel already, that government engineers located. Ryer pilots and steamboat men testify? that while a straight channel Wouid' be preferable, there have been - no casualties in that channel. . What the river men and the deep sea shipping men want is a clear 30-foot channel In the lower river. None of them is excited over the east channel, and the conditions in. that channel have never deterred a single , ship, so far as the public knows, from entering this port i.neni .wny continually ..complicate the problem of getting a safe and clear chan nel to the sea by the constant injection of this Swan island scheme? - Let us confine ourselves to the single problem of giving the port money enough to clear the channel in the lower harbor, where the serious ' obstructions are and where the shipping men wish the money spent This is no time for; any man or any community to spend money for what is not an immediate need. It is no time for the use of catch phrases about swamps" and "smokestacks" or for re ferring to a number of our most progres sive citixens as "moasbacks" or "kickers" or "pessimists." It is a time for squarely facing facts and soberly considering the unsettled financial conditions that are facing the whole country and that bear directly, on all our local problems. t" . M Taxpayer. E TEACHERS' TENlifRE LAW opposition to ! Proposed Amendment I Thereto Is Here Voiced. Porjtland. .Dec ' 22. To the Editor of The Journal I am not going to enter Into a discussion of the merits or de merits of the teachers' tenure law, or of the pjroposed amendment thereto, but I think! the proposal is premature and in opportune. TJie teachers seem satisfied with the law aa it Is, and the people can 111 afford to further incur their dissatis faction. Tha desired ends can- be ac complished, or , nearly so, as . it now standa. The common. laws of the land can each school teachers as easily as any ther class. Besides, we would not and ; iould not afford to use 'any more stringent laws in this relation if we had them So why spend time and money creating jthem? , In (The Journal has appeared an au thoritative statement that there was an actual shortage in the state of 600 teach ers besides other 600 unqualified ones now teaching In Oregon. Why such a disgraceful state of affairs?

What does he suppose they are doing now, when they deliberately employ 500 un qualified and Inefficient teachers and let 600 schools o without them alto gether. . If not asserting themselves, and it is being done contrary to school law besides. Who compose (this bunch of unqualified teachers, anyway? While I was a country school director an in stance came under ' my j observation of One who procured la pernjilt to Jeach and when it came time she tpok the examina tions and failed,, but nevertheless got an other permit -Any respectable teacher probably beats none, and under stress of war conditions this was justifiable, but now it Is not ! The practice is being abused of issuing, permits so promiscu ously to unqualified teachers. Nearly all of those permit; teachers are compelled to teach for the smallest salary, and many of them are frozen in to do the janitor work of the school besides, for the minimum wage. A large number of the country school districts seek cheap ness rather than efficiency, some of the directorates being composed, of unedu cated people, opposed to modern methods. I deny that school teachers can in variably get a square deal from either the school boards or their superior Offi cers. I have positive knowledge where at, times they (officials and. directors) have preferred to cater to the vote in stead of to the best interests of the schools. School teachers don't; have the support, from the people that is' due them. 'Next to home and parents, school teachers have more to do with, shaping the destinies of our children and conse quently that - of ; the nation ' than any other element ; . . Who else but i they, during war times, didn't take Advantage Of the situation to boost 'their salaries and create other Conditions favorable to themselves? Why didn't they do so? . Their inherent 'love of country and : the philanthropy natur ally a part of people who adopt school teaching as an 4 employment restrained them. I think the same qualities can be trusted still.

To the Editor of The JournalLarge headlines have appeared in the. papers all over the land announcing that the anarchistic laws of tha North Dakota Bolshevik! have caused the failure Of 22 banks. But Jet us see. Let us-have one short look at the truth, The farmers of that state saw that to rescue tnemselves rrom an unbearable economic situation they' must get into politics, and to get into politics they must organize, which j they did. And they took the state government out Of the hands of corporate interests and their tools, the politicians. But they did not enter county or municipal politics. Counties and municipalities are still in the control of tha old political and finan cial gang in North Dakota. Among other good laws, the farmers established , a state-owned bank. The law establishing : this bank required all state, county and municipal public funds to bo deposited in the state public bank. This took the .control of credit out' of the hands of the North Dakota Bankers' association, and : put ii back into the hands of the people. The state ; bank then redeposited: these funds in the smaller private ' banks? where : most needed. . j '- ; In the western part of the state the THE TRUTH about the the only "LORD'S DAY,' and His people.

I The "bankers knew that- they could handle county and municipal poli ticians, though they had lost control of the state government They knew that a sudden removal of these deposits "Would force the state Tank to close, and that if the state bank should fall they them selves would Again control the credit situation I within the state,- and could boost the current, rate ot Interest back to where It was before the farmers or ganized. !: j.

And over 20 banks closed. These private banks were members of the association which- introduced the bill.

ARRAIGNS MODERN HERODS Charges That Reactionaries Are Seeking. v Life I of Democracy. Portland. Dec. 31. To the Editor of The Journal l"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son." "That ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abun dantly." ' ' : ; : .. ". ''. The -story eff thf birth of Christ; is the greatest story ever written no mat ter what your , faith may be. or what .your viewpoint of history, either profane or Bacred l whether such a'man as Christ ever lived, or whether It is pure sym bolism.. If it be the fancy of a poet. It embodies in it all the lessons of the struggle between democracy and autoc racy, between light anl darkness, be tween progress and atavism, . Detween love and greed. And for that reason it is truth. The story tells us that the world was looking for the birth of a new Ughf of a new, freedom, of a new democracy. The fact that ithe world was looking for it was : the most significant fast of all, for that slmpfle iact was doubtless the mainspring of its origin. But whence was the : new child to come? The wiise men discovered It first, following the star until It rested over the manserMa Bethlehem. ' . And why a j manger? : Simply because all new moral light all fundamental democracy, springs from the common people. Later on we find Christ a carpenter, a workingman. - - Rut the most significant, part of the, story is that the wise men told the king of this new blirth of freedom and then fled.- Then the king ordered the de struction of every child, that he might get this one child, born in the 'manger. Why did the king tremble? Was he &fraid of the common people of this workmgman of this.carpenterT If so. why? Christ may not have been a political leader In the sense In - which we use that term today, but the story says he came to bring! life, end to bring it more abundantly.

At any rate the king trembled, just as all kings do when their thrones are in danger. He sought to stamp out the new idea by suppression. He did just what the kings of today do when they seek to stamp out the people's power by ; slaying the innocent . .' t 'j. . : In the Oregonian, i notice It Is stated that some members of the I incoming legislature intend to introduce measures calling for the abolition of the 'right of the people to Initiate measure (con trary to the wish of the monopolist the modern king). This is in order that they may reach the child in the manger. The object of their aversion Is the single tax. They will slay all the other 'chil dren of democracy, known as direct primary and recall, and will hamstring the initiative, in order that the j new freedom shallj be unable to express itself at the polls. They are doing just what Herod did. They are seeking the young child'e life. J. R. Hermann.
