Kay at Luncheon "The stateof Oregon is cjon ironted by a serious situation, -be cause of the political manipula tions of the recent legislature." declared Tom B. Kay, state treas urer, inlspeaking before the Cham ber of Commerce Monday noon on "Taxatlcto and- New Legislation Enacted by the Last Legislature." "The sole question before the last legislature was based upon two things. It was either to put the governor In a hole, or else have the governor put the senate in a hole. Consequentlythe legis lature did" not do much. Certain legislation was defeated, and the conditions existing today are due to political manipulations of the governor, who is solely to blame." ! "The governor's policy, in a sense, is retaliation for the repeal of the income tax," declared Mr. Kay. f'He wanted to force the legislature o re-enact the legisla tion necessary to raise the reven ue. I specifically charge the state tax board in failing to provide money for the next year. - The revenue necessary to carry on the state for the next two years is $21,497,000. The tax board failed to make the levy which would take care of the running expenses of the state government. J As a result the state is short nearly two million dollars. "The legislature cduldnot raise sufficient funds! to car'for the ap propriations, and It was compelled to enact certain revenue bills which the governor had pointed out to them, j ' " We - are facing a serious situ ation ; the state Is far behind, and the tax commission, cannot "make a levy to care for the deficiency, due to the 6 per cent limitations Imposed by lawi There is no other way out but to violate the state constitution, j j "The governor has been able to' reduce taxes for these two years but the resulting deficiency will have to be made up at some f u tore tlnie. S v "The people of the state would be better Toff, when the political manipulations are removed, and the government of the. state will bd , better 1 cared for.V continued the speaker. 1 i Mr. Kay also touched upon the track legislation measure, flTSing bills and other matters ! recently acted upon, by the legislature.

Supreme Court of United States Declares Law Is Unconstitutional PILL SAID UNREASONABLE Right of Parents to Control Edu cation Without Vndue Interference by State . f 1 1h Upheld j WASHINGTON, June 1. The liberty of parents and guardians to direct the upbringing and educa tion of -ehildren under their con trol without unreasonable inter ference by state governments was upheld today by tha supreme court. ... In deciding the two cases ap pealed by the state of Oregon, one against the society of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus Mary, and the other against the Hill Military academy, the court unan imously held unconstitutional the law under which all children in the state between the ages of S and 16 would have been required to attend a public -echool after September 1926. The right of parents and guard ians to direct the 7 education of their children is guaranteed by the constitution, the court declar ed in an : opinion by Justice Mc Reyriolds'and can not be abridged by legislation which had no reas onable relation to some purpose within the control of the state, "The fundamental theory of liberty upon which all govern ments in this union repose,' Jus tice McReynolds asserted, "ex cludes any general power of the state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruc tion from public teachers only. The child is not the mere creature of the state; those who nurture him, and direct his destiny have the right, coupled with the high duty, to recognize and prepare him for additional obligations," The Oregon cases, the court pointed out, did not raise any question as to the power of the state reasonably to regulate all schools, to inspect, supervise and examine them; their teachers and pupils; to require that all children of the proper age attend some school, .that teachers shall be of good moral character and patriotic disposition, that : certain studies plainly essential to good citizen-' ship must be taught, or that not!1 ing be .taught which Is manifestlj inimical to the public welfare. r The -inevitable practical result of Infringing the Oregon act, Jua : tice McReynolds declared, would be the destruction of private and . parochial schools conducted y , by the "Sisters and by' the military academy and perhaps of all other private, primary school for nor mal children within the state. The schools which objected to the en forcement of the law were found by the court to be "not inherently harmful,"! but on the contrary had long been regarded as useful and meritorious. "Certainly there Is' nothing in the present records," the court stated, to indicate that they have failed to, discharge their obliga tions to patrons, students or the state.- And there are, no peculiar circumstances or present emergen cies which demand extraordinary measures relative to primary edu cation."; , -. .
