L End Is Said to Hare
Been Painless
WASHINGTON. June 1. (By
Associated Press.) Thomas Riley
Marshall, vice ; president of , the
United States for eight momen
tous years of its history, has fol
lowed his chiefs Woodrow Wilson,
into death. !
.Recurrence of-a heart attack,
which sent him to his bed last
Monday, immediately after a trip
from Indiana, brought on the end
unexpectedly today, after reports
had come from the sick room
throughout the week that, despite
his 71 years, -he was steadily j re
covering from nervous exhaustion
and a cold. ; ': ;
Death came quietly in his room
on the fourth ? floor of the New
Willard hotel, where he lived dur
ing his two terms as vice presi
dent. Propped Up in . bed: eating
his breakfast with an enjoyment
that strengthened the impression
of those about him that he was re
gaining, his health, he was smok
ing a cigar and reading a favorite
passage of the Bible. j.
Suddenly .. nut without haste.
while Mrs. Marshall was in an; ad
joining room, he laid the Bible
face downward, open where ! the
fourth chapter or the Gospel of St,
Mark ends and the fifth begins
His cigar dropped and he fell
gently back, without speaking and
apparently without pain.
The nurse, whb had been at his
side, quickly summoned aid, ! but
he was dead. ". j
Brief services, attended by the
nation's highest ! officials, will be
held late tomorrow in the hotel
and the body will be placed aboard
a train for Indianapolis where, the
funeral party expects to arrive
at noon Wednesday., j
The funeral will be in his home
there at 2 p. m.t Thursday, under
the auspices of the Scottish Rite
Masons, among Whom he held a
high degree. His body will be
placed temporarily in a receiving
vault at Crown f Hill cemetery in
Indianapolis. It had been plan
ned first to hold the funeral at
Marion, Ind., and lay his body
close beside those of his parents
and his foster child, Clarence Ig
natlus Morrison, whose death at
the age of 10," brought one of the
greatest sorrows into his immense
ly friendly life. It Was decided,
however, that Mrs. Marshall
should determine later his final
resting place. . j
. Telegrams of condolence, and
more . personal ' messages tol his
widow bore witness to the esieem
in which the former vice president
was held by those who knew him,
regardless of ;party differences
President Coolldge, who followed
Mr. Marshall in the vice presi
dent's chair, wrote a letter ex
pressing his sorrow to Mrs. Mar
shall as soon as he learned of his
death, and later, with Mrs. Cool
ldge, called at the hotel and sent
up cards. - fi
Senator Watson of Indiana, al
though of different political faith,
Wired his sorrow, and Senator
Reed, democrat, Missouri, in tele
graphing his Bympahty, asserted
that "Mr Marshall represented
in the highest degree the best type
of American citizen and American
statesman." . .1

Political Manipulations Daring
1023 Legislature Scored by
T. B. 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."; , -. . "..- !
Schools, although corporations,
have the right, the decision assert
