hack toward the dark sgei Instead
of la the light of the twentieth century
which it should hold. It Is ons of
aven states which still holds to the
antiquated idsa of district school tax

rut In which It finds Itself today and
place herself alongside the other it
or forty states and make the tax for
Ita schools equal throughout ths state.
"Washington today pays per year

behind tha times In her educational
system aad eerjr 'tightwad' cltlsen in
Oregon Is to blame for this situation

on May 21.
"Do you know how Boston Tech
handles her students? They hare one
teacher to every gtx students Oregon
has one teacher to every . How's
that for a contrast? Isn't It about
time you aad I want to the polls and
voted for something new In this state?
I think so."
