What does America owe to her

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.
