tee Refers Difficulties to
Attorney General
Two quotations bearlne on tha
obligation of the state relative to
the guarantee of interest on Irri
gation district bonds have been
referred to the attorney general
by the state tax investigating
committee of which I. N. pay of
Portland is chairman, and an
opinion has been written by At
torney unerai van Winkle
snowing that the state is not
dangerously obligated.
The first question is "What le
gal obligation rests on the state
as to Interest payments upon ir
rigation aintrtcts whose bonds
have been certified and guaranteed?"
tne attorney eenerarn renlv
shows the investigation that is
necessary under the law when an
application is made by an irriga
tion district. The opinion then
clteg the agreement whereby the
state is to pay the interest on the
district s bonds for the time epecl
fled as it becomes due. "from
moneys arising from the sale by
the state treasurer of state bonds.
tne irrigation district giving to
me state at tne time of the is
suance of the state bonds Its cer
tificates of indebtedness, which
bear interest at the leaal rate.
and when paid, reimburse the
state for its expenditure on behalf
ot the district."
This provision does not cover
the matter of certification of
bonds of irrigation districts,
which is provided for elsewhere
In the law and is a separate pro
ceeding from the interest pay
ment contract.
The second Question is "Whe
ther, in view of representations
made to bond purchasers because
of such certification or guarantee
mere exists any moral oougation
upon the state to pay the bonds?"
The question is answered in
the negative.
J. A. ChurchilU state superin
t?ndent of schools, is sending out
to all high schools in the :tate of
fering the teacher training courses
a manual and outline for the
teaching of agriculture in the ele
mentary grades. It is the purpose
or tho deartniert in the outline
to adjust the adopted text more
nearly to the variable conditions
found in different localities.
In the foreword Mr , Churchill
makes the following explanation:
"Experience haa shown that fjw
teachers have made the necessary
effort to prepare themselves prop
erly for teaching elementary ag
riculture. Occasionally one may
be found possessing a live interest
in rural affairs and having a nat
ural preference for those details
which are closely relat -d to farm
life. The very large majority of
country school teachers have
neither the training nor the in
clination to lead their pupils suc
cessfully in a study which is so
foreign to th -ir owa experience.
"To enable such teachers to
take the standard text adopted by
the state text-book commission
and use it efficiently, the follow
ing suggested outlirr.) has been
prepared for their guidance. It
will be of , assistance to higlt
school instructors who are con
ducting classes in the elementary
teachers training classes. It con
tains the essentials that elemen
tary teachers must know in order
properly to handle the course
during tho year i;22-2:'. No ex
amination In agriculture will be
required of eighth grade pupils
prior to 192:'.

It wasn't really a rise of tem
perature, such as would come
from turning a gas jet on the
thermometer, owever. the ther
mometer registered a straight
vertical rise of 10 dejrrees. as if
it all had happened within two
or three minutes at the most.
but '.hs reason was this. The
winder had unwound, and tne
dial wasn't turning any more. It
was dead. The needle and pen
mechanism was working merrily
on. but it could only go straight
up and down, and the time part
was a total loss.

possible to urge the Oregon rep

vjould enable the school to receive
