Circulation Department, (It Job Department, 682 Society Editor, 10C Entered at the Postofflce in Salem. Oregon, as second class matter IS SALEM'S PROPOSED SCHOOL TAX LEVY . EXCESSIVE? The above question is one which the citizens of Salem will be called upon to decide at the school election June 20th. Taxes are high in Salem, although not as high as in many other cities, and everything within reason should be done to reduce them This means that the cost of operating our schools must be held down to a judicious minimum. To cut the cost below such a minimum would be very unwise. No other invest ment pays as reliable dividends, as does one in education. This applies to the citizens of a city, state or nation as a whole, as well as it does to an individual. Salem is ,the Capital City and the second city of the state In' size. It has heretofore held a reputation of having first class schools for a city of its size. The school authorities say that several parts of the school work must be cut out unless a 10 mill levy is voted to - j vii tiiu n. vs s. a iv m- wa.- tlil'i v l;4 Can Salem afford to run the chance of being "penny wise and pound foolish." by losing a dollar's worth of educa tion of its children for every penny cut off of the school budget?

A leading Episcopal clergyman of California, speaking re cently at the funeral services of a prominent member of his church, is reported to have said: "He was ever conscious of the divine presence. Here was the great secret of his power; for the greatness of any man is but the greatness of God in him." Much too rarely is it acknowledged, even by X 1 a J . .1 . J it e !!!' tne most uevoui, inai uoa is me source oi our capacities ana powers. Still rarer is it in these days to hear from high authority that the Creater does not stop with creating the inriivirlnjil hincr hut tht TTp rnntiniipa in Viim trio etivp propelling force. Of course, no man with a deeply religious experience will fail to be "conscious of the divine presence;" but conscious of His presence or not, men must come to know that God is not only the Creator of His universe, but that He is the animator of every part of it. The least individuality in It has no life of activity or force outside the life of tne God who created it.' He is not outside of His creation, but in it, still moving, working and, in a sense, creating. This is the plain teaching of the New Testament and of the early Christian teachers. Jesus reveals to us a God. ' not outside of, but in, His creation with a loving care and watchfulness over the least of His creatures. He tells us that "God is a spirit" by whom "the hairs of our heads are all numbered" ; that "not even a sparrow f alleth to the ground . .a W 1 1 At. .a a! a1 a 1 witnout tne ramers notice ; mai tie leeus me iowis oi inc air and clothes the field with is verdure, and wilt provide for all our wants if we come to know and trust in Him. St. Paul, too, reveals to us a God "who," as he says, "is not If ' g I PRESENT HARD EXPERIENCES ''pHE present hard experiences in the agricultural and business world are not an unmixed evil, provided they bring us back to saner standards of living and spending. Many depositors of the United States National Bank have decided to save for real prosperity rather than to indulge in showy appearances without the mon ey to back them up. ) . J? tJnitedStates National Bank7 far from any one of us"; "who is in all and through all and in you all." He declares that, "In Him we live and move and have our being." Again he says: "Ye are the temple of the living God." And certainly, many of the earlier Christian writers and leaders have the same conception. Clement, who lived and wrote in the second century, regarded God as immanent in His creation and continually working in and through it. Ac cording to his view God is not a localizable personality, out side of and remote from the world and acting upon it only occasionally. But the world, as well as man. is continually hallovtd by hr? presence of the ind welling Deity. The conception of God as a Creator who fashioned this universe and made His creatures, much as an artist would make a statue, and breathed into them the breath of life which strated thtrn roing, since which time He has had little or no connection with them, is certainly not the con ception of the founders of Christianity. A Creator whose work was fully completed, finished and perfect, in six short days of twenty-four hours each, after which He washed His hands of the whole business, as it were, is not the loving Father of whom Jesus speak to us in the Gospels. "An ab sentee God," as a great English author puts it. "sitting idle ever since the first Sabbath, at the outside of His universe--and seeing it go," is certainly not the correct conception of the great, all-pervading, all-embracing, loving spirit "the living God" revealed in the New Testament. These ideas of God so repugnant to the teachings of Jesus and the disciples and apostles have possessed the minds of men for generations because their minds were physical and the things of the spirit could not by them be spiritually dis cerned. Not being able .to understand the universal God of spirit whom Jesus called "our Father" ami not comprehending "the living God" of the New Testament, "who is in all and through all and in yeu all " unspiritual men have conceived of God as little more than a superman. Much of the pagan idea concerning Zeus and Jupiter, Thor and Odin seems still to cling to the conception that many have of God. although they may have outgrown the polytheistic ideas of the ancients. Let us try to think of God as a spirit, over us. all about us and in us and thus try to get the spiritual conception of Deity which Jesus and the disciples and apostles had the ew Testament conception, the Christian conception. - Under this New Testament view man becomes a being of much greater dignity and importance than he is usually) accustomed to think of himself. He has not only God as his Father in the sense that God has created him. but this Father's spirit remains in him to be brought into dominating activity whenever the individual makes conditions conducive j to His activity and control. Jesus commanded us to make our bodies fit tabernacles for the indwelling of God s holy spirit," which is in effect saying that purity of thought, life and conduct are the necessary conditions for the develop ment of this God-spirit within us; and the object of our lives should be to make this spirit the controlling influence, the dominating element in our lives. As the chemical elements, whether in the universe or in the laboratory, will not unite to produce the varied and useful combinations, which shine in gem and plant, in tree and flower, and which bless and beautify the world, unless the proper conditions are provided to stimulate combining, so th?s Jod life and our human life will not perfectly combine to produce the perfect man until we ourselves produce ; the K v; nrmn Our nrt. of tnlS WOrK ?tT eliminate from ourselves the ossnss. hardness, 5nd inharmony ofn, When we have done this we may be sure that the pure, beau Uful powerful, blessed life and spirit of the Father which i i all about us will come into our beings in its fullness to take tSeTlace of these beggarly elements of our nature just as naturahy as the pure air which envelops us rushes into our lungs when we make room for it.

One of the mysteries of life, is in the fact" that multitudes of men persist in doing those things whu-h reason, judgment and com mon sense declare are Injurious to themselves and that are bound to wreck the life in the end. The man who steals under ptresa of great temptation is not so guilty as the man who, after lying to the assessor, steals from the state by withholding just taxes that lie may pile up more ill-gotten wealth. However greai the relative value of the things of this world about which we concern ourselves so much, their reul value is shown In these words of God spoken by the prophet.

V The beekeepers of Marion coun ty effected a temporary organiza tion at Sllverton yesterday after noon. The meeting to make it per manent will be held in Salem soon. Every beekeeper ought to take part, and there should be thousands more of them, and bil lions more bees. Again, all that is needed to make this the great est bee district on earth is ample late bee pasture. The fruit men must provide this, as an insurance policy against failure of their crops through lack of pollination. The bees will do the business If they are given a chance. V The bakers of the United States are making a new market for honey; an immense market. Pas try sweetened with honey retains its quality and does not dry out and become brittle. So there is going to be million) in successful bee keeping: millions of money ln the keeping of billions of bees. There will be at least one mara schino cherry buyer in the Salem district this year, and perhaps sev. eral. Negotiations are going for ward now. If they all come, per haps all the cherries may be used, and waste avoided, like that of last year, when $200,000 worth were left on the trees. With a cold storage plant of ample size in Salem, all the cherries wasted last year could have been saved.

FUG SERVICES TUESDAY NIGHT Professor Hewitt Will Take McMinnville Chair After a long consideration of his preferences. Prof. Herschel E. Hewitt, head of the physics de partment of Willamette univers ity, has decided to accept an of ler to take the chair of chemistry at McMinnville college. He will leave here soon, to be ready for his duties at the new place. Professor Hewitt came to Sa lem three years ago from Whit worth college, Spokane. He has wished to resume his work In chemistry, for which he has hid a strong predilection, and finally the McMinnville offer to head the chemistry department made a strong enough appeal that he ac cepted the place and put in his resignation here. The resignation comes too close to the big annual meeting of the Willamette trustees, which is to be held next week, for definite action to be taken then towards filling the vacancy. It will ' be filled later, however, from a long waiting list of excellent educators who would like to serve in Willamette. Annual Elks Program is Ar ranged With T. B.

"A Thing or Two Explained," is ex ceptionally bright and interesting and bids fair to help make the publication popular and win for It many subscribers. Mr. It. A. Knight. Columbus. Ohio who wrote us as follows: "One of the cockerels hatched from yo'ir fjrgs Jen. 8, weighed exactly 8 pounds at six months of age." Another drawback against too early hatching Is that the pullet? have a tendency to come Into lay ing so tarly in the fall that quite often they go Into a second molt, wh'ch affects their winter laying. Some of the best authorities predict t:iat eventually the jjreater part of the chicks will be produced in May and June. I noMce In one of my old poul try publications of 1915 that Mr. M. S. Gannaway puts up a few good points regarding the -Late chicks, especially the fellow who has limited means, as follows: "Late-Latch chicks will prove profitable if grown in a shady place. They can be produced at less coft. as breeders generally havo their egg and chick prices reduced by this time, which means less of an investment. ' The late chicks if properly crown have to be reckoned with as winter layers. We have an abundance of proof."
