STILL IN THE BALANCE
moment because it involves
millions of dollars for the Ore
gon schools. It is a subject of
vital importance to farmers not
only because of the school as
pect but for the further reason
the money if obtained for the
irreducible school fund will be
used for realty loans at six per
cent interest.
The following are the facts
with reference to the Oregon
delegation: Senator Chamber
lain, democrat, is leading a
fight in the senate to secure 40
per cent of the money (approx
imately $18,000,000) for the
school fund. Senator Lane,
democrat, remains silent as to
his position on the subject.
Congressman Sinnott, republi
can, is working earnestly in the
house for the 40 per cent pro
viso. Congressman McArthur,
republican, is also supporting
the move. Congressman Haw
ley, republican, has never
been counted as helping the
cause and had a bill of his own
on the subject which made no
'provision for the school fund,
j His plan, however, was re
jected by the house committee,
j Therefore it will be seen
that on this subject which
I carries a hope of inestimable
benefit to our public schools
'and hope of district tax reduc
tions the delegation is not
S presenting a united front. It
lis important that when the
'crucial time arrives they be
; united and eager for the rights
of this state. If you have any
influence with any member of
'the delegation bring it into
play. If you have influence
with senators or congressmen
'from other states urge them to
stand by the Oregon schools.
! Our cause is just and a close
study of the subject will show
I this beyond the slightest doubt.
A CASE IN POINT
In the trial of the Portland
case a Multnomah county
jury was used, as provided by
law. A jury made up of resi
dents from distant counties
would have been more inde
pendent of local influences
and in all probability would
have brought a conviction.
Federal court juries, selected
from the whole state, are not
ed for the fact they generally
convict a man when the law
and the evidence warrants
conviction.
It, would be a forward step
for Oregon to provide jury
panels by some other method
than on a county unit basis.
The expense of juror travel
would be balanced off by the
fact the percentage of reject
ed jurors would be lessened
and by eliminating litigation
that proves futile or worse
than futile because of hung
juries or the acquittal of men
filter they have been proven
guilty.
BOTH SIDES LEARN SOMETHING
try. The Mexicans will hold
opinions based on actual ex
perience not on "poisonous
reports spread to make
trouble.
While saying this it would
be unfair not to mention the
fact Americans are learning
something about Mexico. Many
thought they would all unite as
against a common foe. They
have not done so, but are help
ing us out in apparent good
faith. In other words the Mex
ican people as a whole have
more discriminating power
than many Americans credited
them with having.
GOVERNMENT GASOLINE?
JIP HE land grant legislation
( has not yet been dis
posed of by either house
of congress. The chief ques
tion at stake pertains to how
'in h of the fund shall be
given to the irreducible school
fund of Oregon and how much
to reclamation projects, chief
ly or entirely outside this state.
It it a subject of the greatest
-IH ORTLAND is stirred up
Jj3 just now over the ac
fjuittal by a jury of a
man charged with violating
the prohibition law and against
whom there was convincing
evidence.
The case serves to illustrate
the very fault pointed out yes
terday by the East Oregon ian
with reference to jury work.
3N more ways than one Per
shing's forces south of the
border are giving the
Mexicans an education that is
apt to be helpful to both coun
tries. "They pay their way" is the
expression that follows in the
wake of our troopers. It means
much to the astonished natives
who had been taught to look
upon the gringoes as thieves
and child eaters. The Ameri
can policy of paying for what
we get in Mexico must be par
ticularly pleasing to those who
have been pillaged first by one
Mexican taction ana men an i
other.
Hereafter it will be harder j
for conniving gentlemen on the
other side of the border to play
upon the greaser's hatred and
fear of the gringo. The peons
are learning by first hand ex
perience just what our people
and our government will do. It
our soldiers are able to com
plete their mission in reason
b)e time and then return
home we will have established
a reputation that will prove
invaluable in connection with
future dealings With that ooun-
BISCUSS1NG the rising
price of gasoline and the
necessity of some action
to protect the people the San
Francisco Examiner recently
said:
The' Oil Trust Is supposed to be de
stroyed. Mr. Ta It went through a se
ries of meaningless legal motions
which dissolved the Oil Trust Into
Its component companies, but- the
same people control the individual
companies that controlled the trust,
which was nothing more than those
companies formally united.
The price or gasoline has been In
creasing ever since Mr. Taft gave the
Oil Trust absolution and declared It
dead and burled, and the cost of gas
oline has Increased because the com
bination and control ol the oil situa
tion exists Just to the same extent as
it did before, but ia no longer ack
nowledged to exist and is no longer
regulated.
The remedy, therefore, Is plain
enough. The oil Trust's monopoly
must he broken down by public regu
lation of prices or by government
ownership of the entire oil supplies.
But let congress propose a
law looking to such an end and
up will come a long wail about
socialism. If the Hearst pa
pers wisn to do some good let
them give vigorous support to
the administration's shipping
bill. That bill if passed will
embark the government into a
venture heretofore limited to
private initiative. At the sam
time it will be' warning to the
oil combine that there will bo
something corrring to them if
they carry their extortion too
far.
