Mr. Pierce attacks the commission's plan of raising road funds. He would substitute therefor the pay-as-you-go system. He would turn back the clock. It is easily demonstrated that under the taxation plan he proposes, 56 years would be required, with the raising of JI.000,600 annually, to build the high way that are in operation today, In creasing taxes, he would at the same time retard development for half a Finances The xoads of Oregon have not been financed by tax money, but from the fees of automobile owners, every one of whom has benefited for more than the; amount of his contribution.

McCAY shows in this cartoon there is one monument that dwarfs all others, making them seem insignificant. That noblest of monu ments is the public school in 'which the children of the nation are taught at the EXPENSE of the nation, re ceiving the knowledge that will enable them to build up and defend and carry on the nation. The "public school typifies the spirit of ,the United States, the Constitu tion, laws and beliefs of the United States. The public school is DEMOCRATIC. It receives and treats all alike; wealth does not count, poverty does not hin der. The knowledge and the .books are there for ALL. The public school, like the Consti tution of the United States, forbids all discrimination because of religion. It teaches .THE FACTS that all intel ligent human beings accept.- . . . The public school recognizes only social equality. The HEAD of the class is for the child that studies, and the bottom of the clasp; for the child that doevBOt study. The only aristoc racy is that of learning, of applica tion, of good conduct. The public school ia 'first of all an education IN CITIZENSHIP. That education is almost as impor tant as the education in writing, read ing and arithmetic,! the foundations of knowledge, since reading and writing open to us all the; knowledge of the book. j Fortunate the bey and girl that go to the public school. Much to be, pitied are those deprived of that splen did training in American life and American thought. I , ' The public school is the United States in miniature. In. it the little citizens that are to be the r future This great buildini; represents! the PUBLIC SCHOOLS of the United States. This is the ONE thing that-is important in this nation. In comparison with it NOTHING ELSE has importance.

The ' establishment of the public school was the. greatest event in all the history of the human race. It de clared and established the fact that in a country believing all men to be created free and equal it is necessary . that all shall have knowledge and FREE KNOWLEDGE in order to make that equality worth; while. . The nation now says,- "The mind of every child shall be fed, at .the -public expense. The State will compel the parents to see that the children are taught and will supply FREE teach ing for every one that wants iL" That declaration, represented by v the public school, is the greatest step tnat civilization ever took. : Politicians have grafted on the pub lic schools, booK concerns have-grafted public school funds, contractors have swindled, and vicious, un-American elements that hate the public school because it REALLY- TEACHES THE CHILDREN have fought against it like that English Governor! of Vir ginia who hoped that there would not be a public school in his state "for another hundred years., j Bat 4n spite, of it all, the public schools have gone steadily FOR WARD J The public has watched them, i has demanded that they ' be built ever bigger, safer, finer. i The ; children are gathered AS EQUALS. They all have the same rights, they are all taught the same. They play together, they are Ameri can friends . studying in . childhood, growing , up to be American citizens working together in adult life. . I HONOl R THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
