SCHOOL ELECTION.
Proposition to Bond District for $25,
000 Was Voted Down Very Light
Vote.
The result of the bond election yes
terday was 135 votes against the
proposition and 82 for. Three ballots
were discarded on accouut of being
defective.
The very light vote indicates either
complete apathy on the part of the
voters, or else that a very large pro
portion of them could not make, up
their minds In the conflict of opin
ions and refused to participate in
the election at all. It Is very prob
able that this Is the potent cxplana
tlon of the light vote.
There are many surmises as to
what will or will not be doce ir the
premises. One plan proposed is for
n proposition to be submitted pro
viding for more school buildings and
more widely distributed than provld
ed for by any scheme yet proposed
There Is no particular evidence
that tho "defect" of not having more
buildings provided for by the propo
sition submitted yesterday was what
defeated the bonds, as the light vote
does not indicate that any large pro
portion of the vote against the propo
rtion was sectional. If it had been
the vote against might have been
much larger. Still, the advocates
expansion must know that a different
ly framed proposition must be sub
mitted that will have any show for
carrying.
The tendency to maintain the exist
ing condition for the coming year is
very strong, and unless expansion is
forced upon the district by the con
demnation of some of the present
school quarters. It is very probabl
that there will not 'be any new build
ings the coming year. At the elec
tion yesterday the Judges were W. D.

TAXPAYERS DISSATISFIED
WITH PLAN PROPOSED,
E. T. Wade Thinks That a School
House Should be Built in the West
End of Town, Either on the North
or South Side of the Umatilla.
Pendleton, Ore., April 21. (Editor
East Oreconlan.) The outcome of
the school bond vote will undoubted
ly necessitate a reconsideration of the
Question In the near future. I do not
believe that the vote registered ex
nressed a general opposition to taxa
tion for the purpose of Increasing our
school accomodations, but that it was
rather a result of dissatisfaction with
the plan proposed.
That there Is need of more room Is
unquestioned, but the matter of a lo
cation seems to be the point of con
flicting opinions. I have long held
the opinion that there Is need of a
school building In the west end of
the city. To even a casual observer
If must be evident that the main
growth of the city for the past few
years and at present has been in the
west pnrt of town on both sides of
tho river. Hundreds of children re
side In this section and now walk a
mile and a half to school on the hill
and would have a greater distance if
the school should be built on the old
academy grounds.
Taxation without satisfactory rep
resentation was offered to this sec
tion in the last plan; why not build
a school house In the west end of
town, either on the north or south
side of the river, sufficiently large to
accommodate the growing schol pop
ulation of that section? It will give
them easy access to their school and
will tend to keep them off the busi
ness streets. A bridge over the river
in the vicinity of the school building
would, of course, be necessary; It is
a crying need under any circum
stances, and should easily be forthcoming.
Thnt tho present population of the
North Side demands that a school
house be built there, I do not believe,
but I do assert that a school house
situated to accommodate all the
school children on both sides of the
river in the west end is necessary
and should be provided.
I believe that a $32,220 bond equal
ly divided between the east and west
ends of the city would pass without
a dissenting vote.
I do not believe In rushing into
print .but do so this once to express
my opinion in which I have consider
able support. As I have hod noth
ing to say in the past, I will have
nothing to say In the future.
