The above from the Portland1 Journal of last evening
V1' V puts the case i stronger than the facts warrant
For. the Willamette is not the source of Salem's water
supply.; The source of Salem's water supply is wells sunk
! in the sand and gravel near the Willamette, and the water is
I 1 thproughljrfiltered; and it is also treated to prevent any
' ; . chance of disease germs getting into .the; pipes that supply
t Riii the city, the same as the water supply of most modern cities
L is now treated. The same as the mountain supply is treated
at Seatlleairf-numerous other cities. Ct .
" The system of ' drawing the Salem water supply 'from
the wellsiis being changed sty that there ,willf within a few
weeks, be no chance of contamination whatever. ' ' " '
i t,r The matter of , river pollution is another question. There
is sewap ponutibn at cities, like
l" Eugene, 'Albany, Coi:vallis and Salem.. ' ' ' t K ;;.

Salem already taking steps
having a sinking fund that

When the fact Js considered that practically every acre of

Editor, Statesman: - j ; ' '
Tho Statesman has undertaken
the task ipf instructing the .yoters
of our school district agiinst their
own . Just convictions. -T The chief
question of Oregon is, first, an
equitable tax levy, and,, second, to
reduce taxation. The first can be
done .by an income - tax - and : the
second by reducing the expendi
tures of 'state, count,, city and
school districts .to an efficient,
competent and just administration
of public affairs. As long as a set
of public officials are mere feed
ers at the public crib, we will not
advance. All oratory, sophistry
and propaganda Is mere bunk to
catch the- unaware, unthinking,
careless or trusting yoters. ' We
knowth e results thereof. A. well
greased propaganda '? bunk - ma
chine is a mighty power, and the
feeder at the public crib knows it.
Now as to this Tuxedo Park af
fair. . Granted, that South! Salem
should have a junior high school.
But do they want it In Tuxedo
Park? . A tract of land, that 12
years ago, with an excellent horse
hitched to a good strong buggy.
I tried to cross. I had to back
out twice, and only on the third
endeavor got across through mud
and water and . up a steep bluff.
And this was in the ? t glorious
month rot; May. And .now this is
the "jjreferrsd; school, iie,'j---and
o,r.besnre JLhe .whole t,hln$. IS
acres , of, it. ; lias 4" to be .jtaken 'or
noneat SI 500, an acre and the
owners are the philanthropists and
public spirited - citizens to ' make
us. the taxpayers, this . generous
offer only up to June ,lstj 1926.
Then we are lost. This generoua
lty, according to your view of the
matter, was turned down twice,
because the voters are too ignor
ant, as you put it. On account of
this we get into semi-monthly
school election system, and if the
Ignorance of the voter or his ob
stlnancy to "See the "light" con
tinues we shall soon have semi
weekly exercises, a very efficient.
economical and sensible procedure.
The continuous propaganda, bunk
and oratory is finally, to wear out
the opposition. I voted for ev
ery member of our 'present school
board. In their private and bus
iness life they are number one
citizens," "successful ' in their busl
ness and respected. - But, did
they, do they, or would they, carry
on their own business in. a like
manner?- Let them purchase a
block of suitable land or interview
the -Bush estate - for ..a - suitable
tract of land and the coat thereof
three to ; five - acres and : that
Will be enough. The- more the
frills and nonsense is cut out from
our school system the hetter edu
cation will fare, and put a stop to
waste, extravagance, , bunk and
Incompetence and graft out ; of
public funds. These are undebat-able-
facts. I do not accuse any
one of graft or willfulness in' this
thing, but like Caesar's wife,eny
public , business . should ' he above
suspicion. ! , ...

That ls, Mr.? English says " The
Statesman said the voters are too
ignorant. The 'Statesman never
said thatT Does not believe that.
Never has said it. No one bnt a
fool would say it. There was a
misunderstanding as rto what the
wording of . the ballot meant, ! in
the vote to authorize the school
board to divert some of the , mon
ey, already voted for the building
for the purchase -of a site. It was
largely the fault of the wording,
which said: ' f For : bonds; yes
against bonds, no, when it was
not a question of bonds at all, but
only one of diverting some bond
money voted three r years ago.
Some of the other statements of
Mr. English are worthy of dis
cussion and explanation. Ed.) '

GREAT SHOW COMES

Magnificant Production,
to Be Here Tonight
A mighty interesting event in
connection with the theatrical sea
son is the engagement of George
White's Scandals, considered the
best of all of his revues, which
comes, to the Heilig theatre to
night.5" After' a full year at the
Apollo theatre "-in" New York it
played to Immense ' business in
Chicago for six ' months " at the
Selwyn theatre, after which fol
lowed engagements at Boston,
Philadelphia. ' Pittsburg, Detroit,
Cleveland, St." Louis and Cincin
nati. Too much stress cannot be
laid on the fact that the entire
New York and Chicago production
win oe seen nere, inciuaing me
famous George White Beauty
Chorus.
The chorus members of the
Scandals' can actually dance.. In
the early days of the theatre the
chorus girl was supposed to dance,
and she did, but the vogue soon
lapsed and finally through disuse
vanished entirely from the Ameri
can stage. The chorus girl of the
ordinary musical comedy is chosen
primarily for her ability to wear
smart clothes, or to show the con
tour of her ankle. George White
has long been familiar with the
inability of the native chorus girl
to dance if not inability at least
unwillingness- so when arrang
ing for his revue he hit upon a
novel innovation. He decided
upo.n a genuine chorus, ope that
could do everything and then in
unison and with actual rhythm.
How well he has succeeded will be
demonstrated when his big revue
i3 shown here.
The production of George
White's Scandals entails a large
roster of players, among whom
may i be mentioned Nyra Brown,
Zeima O'Neil, Johnny Gets, Tom
Patten, the,De Nardos And their
seven Sheiks.'' Ace Brown, Fred
Lightner, Sonia DeCalve, Maybelle
Mellon, . Brown Elwood, John
