THE SCHOOL ELECTION
m HE school election yester-
day was marked by more
activity and interest than
any similar election in years if
not in the history of the city.
It is wholesome to have such
interest aroused because it
shows people are awake to the
welfare of the school system.
The election of Mr. Strain by j
such an overwhelming vote was!
more than a tribute to his per-i
sonal popularity. It was an ex- j
pression of confidence in his in-j
dependence and fairness; also
a reflection to an extent of i
public sentiment regarding lo
cal school problems.
Many voted for Mr. Strain
because they knew he had not
been selected to run by the
school board. There was con
siderable of a desire for some
thing in the way of a new deal
in connection with school af
fairs. The most active workers for
Mr. Strain were the ladies of
the W. C. T. U. who have con
ducted the protest against the
forced resignation of Mr. Lan
ders. Their work was a dis
tinct manifestation of resent
ment over the treatment of the
retiring superintendent and in
sofar as their influence count
ed the election means disap
proval of the school board's ac
tion. Mr. Strain, however, was not
running as a pro-Landers can
didate, or to make war upon
the rest of the board. So his
3T may be only a coinci
dence but it is a fact the
decision of the supreme
court reversing Judge Wolver-;
ton in the Oregon & California'
land grant case is in line with:
what was asked for in the mid-i
night resolution slipped
through the last legislature un-j
der such conditions only a
handful of members knew any-j
thing about it.
The decision means the rail-1
road company is not to be pen-i
alized for having deliberately I
violated the terms of its land!
grant. The railroad will re-
tain the land and dispose of it
as congress directs but at the
minimum will be able to get
S2.50 per acre for the land.
This makes ,the decision mean
$6,000,000 to the railroad
company and many times that
sum if the railroad can inveigle
congress into passing legisla
tion desired by the company.
It is a valuable decision for
the railroad and it should be
welcome to all those who be
lieve it better for immense
tracts of land to be held by pri
vate corporations for profit
making purposes than by the
government and administered
in behalf of settlers and the
public.
The chief argument ad
vanced in behalf of the claim
the railroad should have the
land is that the company pays
taxes on it But the argument
is weak because if the govern
ment had title it could dispose
of the land to private settlers
and they would then pay taxes.
Besides if the tax argument is
worth anything then all gov
ernment land and all state
owned land should be turned
over to corporations so they
could pay taxes on it.
The reversal of Judge Wol
verton's decision takes on unu
sual interest in view of the leg
islature's midnight resolution.
How much did that action in
fluence the court? As a result
of the resolution the attorney
general of Oregon went before
the supreme court with a re
quest for action substantially
in accord with the decision
given yesterday. Did the court
consider the legislature spoke
for the people of Oregon and
that this state really desired a
ruling in behalf of the rail
road? If so, then the gang that
guided the resolution through
to passage knew exactly what
they were doing and they are
certainly to be complimented
