TrIE state tax
The announcement of the state tax
to be paid by Deschutes county In
19J1 is a staggering blow. For all
county purposes the levy Is 12. S5
mills and the levy for the state,
11.34, or almost as much. In the
present year the state tax was M4,
703; for 1921 it is $99,278.90, or
more than double this year's figures.
-: The chief reason for the higher
state tax is, of course, the millage
levies voted by the people at the spe
cial election last May. Chief among
these were the extra appropriations
for the state educational institutions.
The Bulletin urged their passage and
will not now crawfish when the bill
Is presented. Indeed, until the new
tax is analyzed and it is shown just
how the total is arrived at, and com
parison with this year's state tax
made, one is only jumping at con
clusions when he fays that the edu
cational tax is largely responsible for
the big increase.
Such analysis should be made,
however, not so much to place the
blame for the high state tax as to
discover Just how it is made up, and
to see how expenses can be reduced
to make It lower another year. The
people will vote high taxes for neces
sary expenses; they will ask now
. more carefully than before to be
shown why an expense is necessary.
- That is as it should be.

SCHOOL N EED TOLD
To the Editor: Why a new. 36-
room high school building is needed
in Bend:
' First. The present building is lo
cated on a site that has been demon
strated to be the proper site for a
ward school. The building is not
suitable for high school work; but is
suitable, and would comfortably
house the present Central ward
school, eliminating shacks. '
Second. We are at present using
19 rooms for high school work. We
are seriously handicapped for room
at the present time and, in order to
do the work properly as a standard
school; 17 rooms are now required, as
follows: The commercial depart
ment occupies two rooms, three are
required; the manual training de
partment is using two rooms, four
are required; the household arts de
partment is using one room, three
are required,, with dining and fitting
room facilities also; the science de
partment is using one room, four are

Another Vow .
For long, long months we've run. amuck, with
spendthrifts we have trotted, and eagerly blew in
the buck, and all sane counsels swatted. And now
approaches New Year's Day, whereon we make
new pledges, and call down murrains (what are
they?) on anyone who hedges.' Until the Christmas
season drifts, amuck we'll still be running, for we
must blow ourselves for gifts, for doodads "cute and
cunning. But when the New Year's Day arrives,'
this folly let's be ending, let's renovate our wasted
lives, and cut out foolish spending. It's time we
were in training now, for future self-denial, for
framing up a solemn vow that .we'll give thrift a
trial. The old year, shaken, bent and white, goes
out by easy stages; the New Year's coming start
it right, and pickle half your wages! The vows
we made in other years would do for idle f riskers ;
we swore we'd cut out cards and beers and cigarets
and whiskers. But we are facing sterner times;
retrenchment is the motto; the watchword now is,
"Salt the dimes," and you'll agree we'd ought to.
The old year, in its going, teas a tale of money
burning; the New Year's coming, wearing bells -then
new leaves let's be turning!

music and art or printing; one room
each should be provided for these de

A. Third. The size and standing of
the school, together with the grow

facilities, a gymnasium is essential
and lunch rooms have been sug

and courses on account-of lack of
rooms and facilities, and continuing
under such crowded conditions that
only mediocre work may be reson

The Story of The
Christmas Tree
1
Year after year Bees the story repeated
The pines, cut on the snow-clad hills, felled by
ringing axes, hauled merrily home to the music
of Yuletide sleighbells, soon to blossom out
' with shining candles and dazzling tinsel and
then, after a few days, stripped of their holi
day fruit and tossed aside.
So with many too many of the gifts they
bear flimsy knicknacks, carelessly chosen, to
perish with the forgotten tree. Such Christ
mas gifts are not worthy of the name.
In selecting pictures of gifts to illustrate
this pictorial story of the Christmas tree, we
have chosen carefully from the most popular
and beautiful models of these worthy, enduring
gifts Watches, Diamonds set in Rings, Bar
, Pins, Brooches, Gentlemen's Scarf Pins, Lifdics
Xa Vallicrcs, Sheffield Silver, Clocks of all
. Kinds, and numerous other useful gifts,
Gifts that last!
