' LIBERT.T PLEA CONSIDERED Writer Asserts Those "Who, Cry It Loudest Would Soonest ifeny It to Others. -Bcrtland, Oct. 26. To The-Editor of The Journal t cannot" remember "if anyone has brought out .the point rela tive to the effects of parochial schools in other lands, where the parochial school was the qnly method of educa tion. Take Mexico, Cuba. South Ameri ca, the Philippine and other countries, where the parochial school has held un bounded away for at least 300 years. and what has been the result ?, Two classes 'or people,, the rich and . the poor, the rich being those at the head of the church,, anil the poor living In poverty and ignorance. The Catholic cannot claim any credit for our learning and the educated standing of our people here in the United States, for it has been his aim, and now is, to tear down our rublic school. Whenever you hear a class of people making such . a holler about personal liberty, you can just bank on it that if they were in power your personal uoeny wouia go glimmering. If we are to have parochial schools, then every religious order has the same privilege, and if each availed Itself of this privilege, we should certainly have a fine state of affairs, anyway . 30 or 4U aurerent religious schools, each teaching that It was the salt of the earth, and that the other fellow not of its particular faith was sure headed for tne lower regions. For the sake of ,a united country, with common ideals, we should all sup port the public school, regardless of de nomination. Surely, if relieion has anv merit the child can decide for himself wnen ne is old enough to know his own mind, without having it drilled in to him until he is afraid to do other wise. The public school was rood enough for me. It, has educated 90 per cent of our people. Why not make it xvv per cent. William Gray.

To the Editor of The Journal The i present political campaign witnesses Vttie greatest ' or ganised effort ever made to destroy out public, school system. Freedom4 of worsmp is aboat as germane to the proposed compulsory education bill as is Einstein's theory of relativity, and far less germane than the claim of the bUTs proponents that its defeat means the3 ultimate destruction of our tmblie school system. The truth is, the' great majority ox Americans are not enough concerned about how, I where or when cne worships, or whether one worships at alL All religious beliefs are more or less represented in our country. -ven tne oriental, with his pagan joss house, may worship unmolested within the sound of Christian . church bells. No bill, that would interfere with any of the right the constitution guaran tees would be tolerated . by. the au thors of this bill, much leas proposed by them. Some, of these opponents jaua our puoiic bcaoois to the skies, but refuse to patronise them, as if they were taught by a lot of un-Chrtstian Turks, instead of men and women of tugft moral character, culture and iHmuig, wnose invariable rule of con- auct is never to Interfere with any parent' religious training of hi child. However, we must not permit race communities, where the" different na tionalities wta settle. , .

To the Editor of The Journal Why cannot we have jus t ordinary, common honesty in our pollt -teal discussions? Here is the -chairman of the Republican state "central committee proclaiming up and -down th s state that the "election of "Walte : Pierce aa eovernor would be a calami ity." It would be nothing of the kind, unless a. "calamity" to the Republican machine. The taxpayers happen td be more Mnterested at , this time In other matters than keeping in office a lot of hunery officeholders and official hang ers-on. The state has an army of these. Why not have just a ltttle honesty in this campaign? Hire is Senator Stanfield openly if the Oregonian dis patches properly quote him declaring that this country suffered from eight years of "waste and extravagance un der the . Wilson administration, and charging $24,000,000,000 of war debt to the terrible Democrats. Apparently! the war debt Is purely the wicked work of the Democrat! Ana here li Congressman Hawley making verj much the same kind of talk; He cer tainly knows it is rank dishonesty, ai well as does Senator Stanfield, to at tempt to place the blame for the was debt on President Wilson's admlnlstraj tion. Perhaps they will also attempt to make ' the voters believe- all the profiteers were Democrats; that-the shipbuilders who refused to let the co'urts examine their books were all Democrats ; that the fellows whom At-j torney General Daugherty failed to prosecute for profiteering were all Democrat ; that it was the JDemocratd who put up the money to buy New3 berry his seat in the senate ! They hataj slandered Wood row Wilson in one breath and praised Newberry, the sena-i torlal misfit, in th next. People have! had this kind of bull hammered intd them, morning, noon 'and night, by the! kept press and the small-fry lackeys who fawn at the feet of Big Business until in this enlightened day we sug-j gest that the publio be given something' real to reflect upon. The Democrat! have nominated a number of very de-j sirable citisens' here in Multnomah! county to represent the people ein-j cerely represent them in the conduct of the state's - business in the state legislature. They are just as good citi-j sens, just as efficient in a business! way as any Republican nominated fori a like position, and would give just as- careful attention to the welfare of the! state a any Republican nominated. aJ number of them are much better fitted) for legislative work than some of their; Republican opponents. Numerous scrubs: rind their way to the legislature, and many good men are left at home. After the legislature adjourn, the voter do their kicking and cuss the actions of the very people they voted for. What has "party" -to do with the election of; people to do the business of the state? It is high time the people muzzled the small-fry upstarts who in an official capacity prate about ft being a "calam ity" to elect a Democrat to office. ' j Independent Voter. TAX AND CONSTITUTIONALITT These Two; Points Discussed as Related to the Compulsory School Bill Portland, Nov. . To the Editor of The Journal.., There are two 'groand lesa " charges -against " the compul sory school , bill that should be ex posed. t Opponents say it 1 unconstitu tional; if it is, why are the opponents spending $500,000 to defeat the measure at the polls? Why not employ om lawyer fori $10,000 to do the job? So. why not all the voters vote for the bill in order to make it possible for a court test and a judicial determina tion?- As to taxation, if the bill passe taxes will be reduced. And why? .Be cause all : parochial school property would at Once naturally become tax able, and thus 920,000,900 to $35,000,000 wortn would be added to the tax rolls. Then, also, under the provisions of th Sterling-Towner bill.' now before eon- s. $50,000,000 would be appropriated annually among the state for public school purposes, the apportionment to he made on the ratio of the number of the public school teachers to the popu lation, and not on the population itself. in this apportionment, private school teacher do not count. Thus it is that if the public school bill psases Oregon will have a- greater percentage of pub lic school teachers than any. other State. Under the proposed apportion ment " Oregon would receive about $5,000,000 annually. - -So why not -vote 314 X Tea" as- an economic measure. and also "31 X Yes" in order that the matter may be- certain of a court's de termination as to its constitutionality. i. au uamanan.
