THE HIGHWAY, SCAHDAL ; : ; :, -
A FTgSil they have bedeviled
statement of what he would do td cut taxes, members of the Portland
mud squad, squeal .like stuck pigs as soon aa Mr. Pierce, In reply to their
challenge, 'begins 4M lay .his , finger, on items of extravagance in the
present state administration. ' ir ; -C i.? ' . T. .
Thy caU.himi-a;'delarosJe., 2 They pretend to be shocked They
say the Pierce revelations explain why prominent men will not enter
public off ice.. 'They forget who it was that alled on Mr. Pierce to give
specifications.. They forget that they have gibed ad Jeered at hlra
continuously to poJnt'out these extravagances. ; . (f t V- .. -j.
' ' -In his Balem speeeh Mf. Pierce exposed .the-scandal In state-owned
automobiles. - He; was generous in estimating the cost of operating the
state-owned .Cadillacs,- Sudsons, Winfons, ; Bulcka and " the others at
1150,800 to $250,000 per year. Common belief la that the cost of main-
taimng the dS5.stateowned cars and trucks will go above Mr. Pierce's
higher figure of $250,000 a year, net counting deterioration. Mr. Pierce
showed that a big Hudson touring ear had been used -by a state parole
pfficer nd a deputy warden aUthe state penitentiary to convey a. sten
ographer from Salem to Silverton to make a stenographic report of Mr.
Pierce's speech. If hacked, about on -suchi enterprises', wholly unrelated
to state business, how much can it be costing the state for these state
Qwned machines to be used on vacation trips, fishing trips, seaside trips,
California trips, hunting trips, week-end trips and all the myriad other
trips on which regiments of state employes make free to use them? A
yelp went -up from the Portland mud squad when Mr; Pierce exposed the
automobile scandal- 1 y- . - -
And when, at Ashland, Mr. 'Pierce

not a mud ' squad ojt a sob squad artist questions, its truth. The" state
highway commissioners are fine men. , But they have, administrative sub

business is $200 more importaht.than-thewhoIestatas legal business?
It examples the difference In; the cost of things- fixe by law, like the
attorney general's salary, and salaries no fixed ' by : law but by some
body' in the'highway department. And the mfld squad becomes a sob
squad because Mr. 'Pierce has, answer to their challenge, dared to
put his tinger on this manifest, waste of public money .on what the- squad
calls "technical experts." Is Mr. Devers any more "technical" than the
attorney general? . f 7' -'?"'." - :i 4,:i";: '-v-vs
Mr. Pierce says 14 persons in the highway department last January,
when road building' was ats tha noinimum, wersdrawlng salaries of $300
and up to $800 a month, while in the secretary of state's office there
yr&a no employe, other than the secretary himself, en a salary as high as
$300 a month. , - -j- - - . ' - ' . "
Only .nine'peo pie in the secretary of -state's office draw $160 a month
or more,", while there are 6 inf the highway department. , i- (

Why not'try the "plan of obtain

reprinted daily.- No thoughtful person
pays any attention to these exploded

RELIGION IX THE SCHOOLS '
Ohe Whe Cherishes the Pauline Ideal
' geea Its ReaJixation Possible
: Only la Non-Public Ecboels. .
Portland, Oct. SO To the Editor ef
The Journal Is the compulsory school
bill " religious persecution? Its pro
ponents are sure it Is not ; Its oppo
nents are quite as positive it la . Roth
are right each according to Its defini
tion of religion. . The question, then, is.
May the ' ninority : decide . Just what
their religion ehall mean ta themselves
and Just how far jt'sbalj govern their
activities? . '1 - - ,;.-'
' St. Paul, one of the best educated and
most profound men of the ages, saw in
Jesus of Nazareth a limitless person
ality... He writes: In Christ are hid
all the treasures of wisdom and knowl
edge. His mind, searching a fieri unity,
which is the goal of ail learning, found
In Jesus Christ pot only the unity of
all knowledge and all thought, but also
the perfect harmony of all the powers
of body, mind and spirit,- He writes:
rTbts one thing I do, and Whatsoever
ye do. de all to the glory of God. He
also speaks of bringing' into captivity
every thought to the obedience ef
Christ." All this is in support Of the
words of Christ which constitute the
most sublime challenge ever offered
to the human intellect, "I am the
Truth.". - ; v . -
Those who accept this, ideal of Chris
tianity naturally believe that the idea
of Christ cannot -be excluded from any
classroom without" doing violence to
the unity and the deepest truth of any
subject,: For example, how far would
it be profitable to make the study of
history an Inquiry as .to why Jesus
"goyems the ages? '-.'How did Christ's
influence operate in the toundihg of
the 13 colonies and in awakening the
"spirit of 76.' and In' developing the
virility t that has so highly exalted our
nation? There are' those who believe
that such a method would best culti
vate Intellect; character, religion and
patriotism, and that to exclude Christ
from the school is as- bad ss to exclude
him from the home, j '
The--? original pubfic? sch'eols euld
have followed out this, line ef : thought,
for with' them the Bie wka the su
preme textbook. : EJft .today such
studies cannot be carried on In - the
public, schools, as that - woartd be. con-
trary to the religious Ideas of manyJ
Of the patrons.
!It is not for . the voters to decide
whether that kind of ChrisUastty be
