First-class work guaranteed by BECK, the Reliable Plumber. Court street, opposite the Golden Rule Hotel which have been raised against this action, the following points are perti nent at this time: 1. Whero did tho county court get authority in law, to buy this farm, since the law strictly provides that no county shall go In debt more than ?5,000, except to suppress revolt or to meet other like public emergency' 2. Was not the price paid, highei than is warranted by the prices of surrounding land? 3. Will it not require the expendi ture of at least one-fifth of the pur chase price, to put the farm in condi tion to fill the purpose for which It is intended? 4. Do the people of the county want a poor farm? The. East Oregonian will take up the various phases of these objec tions and endeavor to give the true situation that now confronts the coun ty in the matter of caring for the poor. it is a subject which deserves thor ough consideration by the people and the court. It should be discussed in its various lights, and to that end tho matter will be presented from time to time in these columns. FOR BETTER SCHOOLS. State Superintendent Ackerman lies signified his intention of support ing Senator Pierce's school tax bill, which has keen introduced by him In the state senate, and which is being heartily seconded by every senator who favors higher valuation of prop erty in this state. In his report to the legislative as sembly Superintendent Ackerman rec ommended that the fixed levy of Ave mills be raised to sis mills, as a rem- should be a certainty, a fixture, so thoroughly Ingrafted into tho organic law that no emergency could arise to curtail its length or scope. K this great institution of a free people be made subject to the whims ot men whose Ideas of its usefulness may vary; If it be left to the mercy of assessment laws aud individual opinions of courts or officials, it will certainly suffer. Tho regular term of public school should be held, every year, with uni formity and regularity The state has nu enormous fund at interest; it has resources from which to draw suffi cient means to guarantee eight months' school In each district, every year, whether It contains a dozen or a thousand scholars, and that Is the only true meaning of the public school system. The agitation for a new county down 1 none corner of Crook, is the forerunner of a season ot pruning which will soon have to begin on the edges of tho great empires of interior Oregon, which we call counties. There Is room to hide half a dozen Eastern states In the vast area of Malheur, Crook, Lake or Harney and as enough people drift out into these regipns, to hold offices, new counties must be laid out to accommodate them.
