Deflating Education? '
IF the ediicational leaders of Oregon are too stiff-necked
they will be bowled over just as the good roads boosters
were., We notice an attitude onjhe part of some sincere
advocates of education to hang on to all they have in appar
ent anticipation of coming back to get something more when
the sun may be shining a little more brightly. Our advice
h them is to bend their backs somewhat to the hurricane
"-if "they do not want to be laid prone on the ground. School
superintendents and p-t-a groups may as well know now as
any time, that if skies do not brighten this year their bud
gets are in. for dra3tic downward revision. We sincerely
hope such necessity may not eventuate. But education, sa
cred though It is in the eyes of the American people, is by
no means immune from the storms of the business world.
Consider the growth of cost3 of elementary and high
schools in Oregon in the past decade. The total property
taxes for such purposes on the 1921 roll was $13,242,983.37.
The amount increased to $19,479,748.30 on the 1931 roll.
This is an increase of 47. During this decade all costs of
supplies, fuel, materials and repairs were declining. The
enrollment during the period increased from 164,460 for the
year ending June, 1922 to 204,792 in 1932, an increase of
25.
Not only has the school cost grown compared with pre
vious years, but it is consuming a larger proportion of the
tax budget. The amount of property taxes raised for school
purposes on the 1921 roll was only 33 of the total, while
schools absorbed 45.324 of the property taxes raised on
the 1931 tax rolls.
There is great and growing pressure for tax reduction ;
and a drive is made to wipe out all state property tax.
But a study of the figures will reveal at once that the only
place for any substantial savings in property taxes must
come in the educational budgets which now absorb nearly
50 of the total.
We are opposed to legislative bills which will wreck the
schools or make blind slashes at expenditures. The Stockdale
bill however, which proposes a vote on the county unit plan
is worthy of careful consideration. The real issue however
will come in the local school districts at budget-making
time. Much will depend on the course of general conditions
in the next six months. If signs of improvement appear, then
the schools may escape much cutting. But if the present dif
ficulties grow more serious, then school costs will have to be
aligned more closely to -current incomes. Even this year un
casliable warrants and probability of shortened school
terms are reported.
The times call for wise counsel among the school lead
ers of the state, a willingness to share burdens rather than a
disposition to make no concessions to necessity. Our schools
are our first love ; but they cannot hope to remain perman
ently on false plateaus of cost,
Business Ethics
AS we listened the other day to senators exorciate the
utilities for their sins we wondered if the senators re
flected at all on the fact that utilities are no more wicked
than other business agencies, large and small. In fact we
are inclined to the opinion that on the whole the ethical
standard of utilities is higher than average, that the com-
panies have been more just in their relations to patrons,
employes and stockholders than ordinary business concerns.
And the question crossed our mind : will legislators after a
while be limiting profits and "putting harness" on other
forms of industrial enterprise?
For the activities of the utilities are part and parcel of
the general business mileu. The same instincts for acquisi
tion f large profits rule industrial enterprises as well a3
those performing so-called public services. Thus far the
state has applied regulation only to concerns supplying cer
tain essential public services, which tend to become mon
opolies. The state depends on free competition to restrain
the excesses in other lines of enterprise. But the harsh com
petitive system is more cruel to wage-earners, and in season,
more costly to consumers, than the utilities operating un
der public regulation, feeble as that has been.
We are not here proposing solutions, nor advocating
revolutions from the present "economic system". We are
seeking merely to stimulate thought Why single out the util
ities alone for social control when excesses abound in many
other fields of corporate and private enterprise? Will so
cial control extend farther afield in the direction of lim
itation of profits and regulation of business practices? If
u Anoa will hi-sinpoa hwfttnp Kft enmeshed in harness that in

Take three gears: label one Economic Efficiency, an-
other Personal and Social Ethics, the tmra roiiucai con
trol. In the past the small gear of Ethics has had a hard
time meshing with the big, whirling gear oi economic jx

John Knight was a member of
the Salem city council, and In
1882, in that capacity, bought the
first modern fire engine for the
oapltal elty. He was assistant
chief of the fire department,
when "Frosty" Price, of fond old
memories, was the driver of the
team that furnished the traction
power for the tire engine.
e
For 20 years, John Knight was
a Salem fire fighter, a member of
the old Tiger engine company
that manned the ropes in calls
for help in putting out blasea In
the glorious, -glamorous days be
fore there was a paid fire department.

He was a charter member of
tha Salem Odd Fellows' lodge,
and went through all the chairs.

sheriff, the Knight family moved
to his farm in tha Lake Lablsh
dlstriot, five miles north ot Sa

bailiff of the United States court
at Portland, and he served la that
capacity and as crier for 20 years,
until December, 1120, when on
account of failing health ha re
tired, and moved baek to Salem,
where ha and Mrs. Knight re
sided ia tha South Commercial
street home of the Taylors, where
he died, and where Mrs. Knight
continues to lire. Old friends will
be pleased with the information
that she carries her years like the
average woman of middle age.

religion has compounded in it a lot of superstition, irration

of alloy in the religions of modern times.
There is no law which can keep people from going daft
on religion ; and many of the low-brow cults are merely prop

the spread of knowledge does much to minimize the evils of
intemperate religions, it is amazing the persistence of su

puts on a protective insulation which renders him imOune
to rational ideas which modern education should supply.
Sometimes we think that progress is being made and
people will outgrow the vestigial superstitions that hang on.

000 K. W. H. ot power. We do
not have at hand the correspond
ing year, bat in 1921 the entire
Portland Electric Power Co. sys
tem generated 610,000,000 and
sold 489,000,000 K. W: H. No
statement is made of the annual
capacity ot the Muscle Shoals hy

the present requirements of the
state of Oregon.
