STICKING TO ESSENTIALS
After reading: Superintendent Bushong's report on the fin
ancial position of Bend school district No. 1 and of the likeli
hood of continued building needs, taxpayers and others may
be thankful indeed that they decided in favor of essentials last
winter when a $600,000 bond issue was proposed and that
they decided also that those essentials were to be provided for
an a1 pay-as-you-go basis, As a result of this decision, the dis
trict owes a mere $8,000, residue of the bonded debt incurred
to build, the Allen school years ago. Other districts may have
what the superintendent refers to as "fancy buildings" d&
sirable.but not primary needs while Bend lacks t(iem but
many of those districts are in debt to the limit of their bor
rowing capacity and still have construction problems ahead;
Bend, with rapidly increasing school population, is providing
new, high class schools to keep up with pupil additions and
has' included in its pay-as-you-go program provision for con
tiniled increases. Its bonding1 capacity is being preserved in
tact for the emergency that the future can hold bXi that,
fortunately, is not now presented.
- Forgoing thd things that it would be fine to have but that
: it is possible to do without, the district nevertheless has a
' school system' at least as good as any in thi state. Again, carry
ing out its policy of essentials first, it has concentrated on
fundamentals in its curriculum and on- thoroughness, both by
instructors and pupils, in carrying through the courses 6f
study. And, because no school can be better than its instruc
tors, it has held to the highest standard of requirements In
selection of teachers. Such a program is bound to pay off.
On other occasions we have made reference to some of the
features in the district's education policy. None .of these, it
seems to us, has been or is more important than the introduc
tion and, later,; the amplification of the minimum essentials
plan. It is the key to this business of thoroughness which we
have just mentioned. It means better education and, as it
progresses, will mean also less expensive education. The other
objectives in the Bend system conservation and improve
ment fit mental and physical health and the inculcation of
sound itfealfff-a'r'e less tangible but fully a's important.
. Getting back to1 the rrVatter of buildings, we, think there
should be great appreciaftoifi of the fact that a relatively little
money (inflation-and inflated, costs considered) 'has been
made to' go a long' way. Twtf'of the new schools, those in which
quohsot huts were utilized, have been, completed at approxi
mately half the per room cost that would have been required
in ordinary construction. And, at the moment, they are the
district's most up-to-date buildings, conforming, as perhaps
no other school buildings in Bend do conform, to the full re
quirements now made by the state board of education. ,
In another respect there has been a very worth-while
saving, effected by making provision for wood industry waste
for use as fuel, the savin? coming? about not onlv in t.h l'nw
price of the fuel itself but in avoiding the necessity of plant
conversion' to handle Coal or oil -after hogged fuel supplies'
were needed for Dowor nroductionV "
Today cost savings are of the utmost importance, partly be
cause they are one of the means bv which even hichnr tnxes
may be prevented, partly because they permit continued con
struction without debt and continuation of the policy of
hiring Only the best instructor and administrator personnel
for our schools
The people of the district should be happy to know that they
are getting full value for the money they are spending, proud
iu realize me outstanding quality or the school system which
their money is supporting.

Daytime crowds were relatively
smaller1 except where there were
noon-hour parades, .while people
were off for lunch. Stops as late
as midnight ' drew surprisingly
large turnouts. When Dewey
made an Oklahoma stop late at
night, he drew a bigger crowd,
too. So more after-dark rallies
may be the rule for t,he future.

dence and their votes. An illus
tration of this trait is contained
In the following story.
Dewey assured the voters In a
speech at Albuquerque that ". . .
we can build up o ur military
strengtn, reduce our debt, and
still see to it that taxes are less
of a burden on our people . . ."
Of course, Dewey never made a
flat statement that he would re
duce taxes. He merely Inferred
it, or allowed others to infer it.
What he said In Albuquerque was
this; "One; thing we must do to
make sure that it (depression)
does not happen again is to bring
about a revision in taxes, to en
courage savings and stimulate
production." It Is obvious that
taxes can be "revised upward
just as well as downward. But
the context and inference or the
Dewey quote above is that he
would revise taxes downward.
One of the wire news service
reporters on the Dewey campaign
train came to this conclusion and
decided to write a story to the ef
fect that Dewey would seek fur
ther tax cuts. To make sure he
was right, the reporter had the
story checked with James C. Hag
erty, Dewey's press secretary.
Hagerty said the reporter was en
titled to an answer on this point
and went to the rear car to get it.
What he came back with was the
word that Dewey had Just smiled.
The reporter would have to make
the assumption, that Dewey
would work for further tax cuts,
on his own responsibility, Dewey
wouldn't confirm or deny it.
This sort of equivocation was
exasperating to most of the re
porters who traveled with the
Dewey campaign caravan and
quite likely it exasperated some
voters, too.
Washington Scene

(United free Staff Correspondent)
: Washington, Nov. 8 'IP Say
you live in Main Street, Iowa.
Your town Is about to celebrate
the umpteenth anniversary of
the first pig squeal heard in that
area.
What would be more fitting
than to have Uncle Sam roll the
presses on a three-cent stamp to
commemorate the occasion.
So you write to your senator
and he says, sure. Ditto your con
gressman. So what? To be frank,
the post office department is
where "flxln' " doesn't work.
Postmaster general Jesse M.
Donaldson gets all kinds of re
quests for special stamps. Some
are from cat lovers, who would
like to see Tabby's picture go
through the mails on a three-cent
stamp.
To all or most all of the ap
plicants, Mr. Donaldson says:
''No."
He's Dollte about it. Cities with
centennials, villages with pancake
days, women's, clubs with let's
knot another ' and better bed
spread day, etc., all give him a
headache.
Mr. D. has to be careful. Be
cause each new stamp he turns
out is bound to have at least 50,
000,000 circulation. And costs a
lot of dotign.
The congress can order a stamp
made, but usually seldom does.
This year, however, there has
hnnn a erpnlnr nnmher of SDeCial
issues than in past years.
Heiore any new stamp ia nmuc
there are a set of rules, which
the post office department
observes. One is that wnatever
goes on a stamp must be histo
ric And wat if the subject is
alive and klckln'? No good. The
stamps purely are past tense.
That, however, is not true in
other countries.
Our post office department nas
a file on Charles Cornell of New
Brunswick, Canada. The postmas
ter general there ordered his pro
file put on a stamp in 1860. Dis
aster fell. He lost his job on ac
count of It according to the
story from our post office de
partment and the stamps were
destroyed. What they could find
of 'em. What are around now are
worth about $600 each.
One of the vainest among t he
people who wanted to be on
stamps was Ferdinand II of Sic
ily. He ordered a special cancel
lation so that his bearded profile
wouldn't smear when the stamps
went through the mails.
