A Knotty Problem One of the many knotty problem to confront the 1947 legislature i implementation of the recently-approved school support bill adding $5,000,000 for equalization purposes to the public whool system. --. Two pjoposals already are being drawn or have been drawn for pr-Mntation to the assembly, one by a new group of spon sor and the other by the state P-TA. the state school board ao tation, the Oregon Educational association and Ronald Jones ihe sponsors of the measure on the November ballot. The legislative action must cover two phases where the money shall come from and how it is to be allocated. The m-asuie itelf provided that basically the fund would come from proprty taxes, outside of A r . surplus income lax 10 onset sucn levy, huw iuiue gu oi s tax t.dy commission recommending the abolition of prop erty taxes as a source of state revenue. So other complications could set in. depending on what action is taken on the recom-m-ndat Hn as a whole. Or factor appears certain local school districts will have to set up their own basic programs, or, in effect, take the initial efiort tuwcrd local fund-finding.

FOR VANCOUVER A yn up f VaiKtciver, Wash., people has organized for the pur-p--e f e'Uin.ng ahout 16 acres of the Vancouver barracks property, which the ;.rmy recently declared surplus. These people want to build a r-fkl.a of the old Hudson Bay company stockade on the .site of orifMiAl Fort Vancouver and make it into a, sort of national historic shone. Tha tr a worthy enterprise, and there ought to be more move ments ol this same kind in northwest cities with historical back ground arwl historic iMfes Recently th nrthirest was natioruil magazine t'r its neglect This rrit.cism hurt because it is true. Many tourists who come here know of the rvrth west country principally what they learned in their m h-ol books sbout Dr. McLoughlin at Vancouver, about Micu Wrvman. about Captain Robert Cray. John Jacob Astor, Lewis im1 Clark, arvl the p'aces where these people were active. When they pet here they want to see the places associated with the hiMO! i- hnracters of whim they learned in school. Thee places all should be made into shrines, they should where possible have replica of the original stockades or buildings, and they ih cld hae mall-vle museums with any available relics or facts regarding tr.e people ani events for which the place is famous. The restoration nt oil Fort Vancouver in a shrine setting will b- a ti? oet in attracting tourists. Some day Astoria must take similar sters with regtrd to the many historic apots we can show our visitor. (Astorion-Budget.) the 6 per cent limitation, with l i (U . A.

This claim, however, runs counter to another very live in terest of the cities and that is in the development of our primary system of highways for the needs of commerce, of service travel and for tourists. City residents like to be able to drive swiftly, safely and comfortably all over the state. They like to have roads leading to their own cities well improved so that others may come either for trade or for pleas ur. The money simply will not stretch a current construction costs to modernize the highway system and . furnish large addi tional sums to the citie Any revenues from this source must go to build or maintain streets or retire indebtedness in curred for that purpose. It would not go into the general fund. though it might reduce some of the other calls on the latter for street work. My own judgment is that it would be better for the cities and counties to go along with present receipts from the state highway department and permit the other i revenues to go toward tne ur gently needed work of complet ing or reconstructing old por tions of our highway system. Lo cally for instance we have been urging: Relocation of Highway 222 between Salem and Mill City construction of the Wilsonville cutoff; two new "bridges across the Willamette, one at Indepen dence, another at Salem; deter mination of route of 99E through or around Salem looking to its I reconstruction.

Deadlines for Veterans Near World War II veterans are be ing reminded by James S. Har ris, veterans representative in Salem, that several' important deadlines affect benefits to which they are entitled. The first will terminate a war time offer of streamlined natur alization for veterans who are not yet citizens. About 1000 Ore- gon veterans are eligible to ap ply, up to December 31 of this year, through the immigration and naturalization service for naturalization without the usual tests and without cost. The second deadline affects more than 100,000 Oregon vet erans who have let their G. I. term insurance lapse. They may reinstate this insurance on or be fore February 1, 1947, without physical examination by signing a statement that their health is as good now as when their policy lapsed and by paying premiums for only two months.
