Educators Advocate
Additional Support
For Rural Schools
Constructive steps in creating a uniform and improved
system in Oregon may be the result of a resolution adopted
Dy xne muonai Educational association at its annual con
vention In Columbus, Ohio, it was
indicated by C. A. Howard, state
superintendent of public instruction.
Howard1 had Just returned from
the meeting where, with 22 other
delegates, he represented Oregon.
The resolution regarding proposed
aid lor rural schools, read as fol
lows: "The National Education Associa
tion, In view of the serious educa
tional emergency that exists in rural
areas, urges that the United States
congress provide financial aid to
the states with which to meet this
situation."
"Since Oregon Is one of the new
states still having a greater num
ber of rural schools, the result of
advancement of this resolution to
the federal government, should be
vitally Important in this state'
Howard sakf.
Financing of structures in rural
districts now is entirely dependent
upon the county, the state lending
little support to such measures.
"Oregon could be greatly benefit
ed should the government adopt a
plan of aiding those districts where
per capita wealth is comparatively
i, and thus equalize educational
opportunities," he said.
Another resolution considered by
Howard of great importance to Ore
gon's educational opportunities was
one requesting reservation of cer
tain radio channels for future use
in education.
Development along this line would
first center at the station of Ore
gon State college in Corvallls.
Howard praised a resolution ask
ing for adoption of a set form of
oral questions given foreigners
making application for second cit
lzeaship papers. He said that under
present methods, the applicant was
sometimes embarrassed and ques
tions were not at times a fair test.
' An address entitled, "Character
Development through Vocational
Education," was given by Howard
on July 7 before the vocational de
partment of the association.
In his talk, Howard praised the
work of vocational education, as
serting that the vocational teacher
has an opportunity possessed by
few to shape the character of stu
dents who obtain his Instruction.
"No other education is so rich in
life situations as vocational educa
tion,'' the speech read. "Character
education can most effeciently be
carried out when connected with
actual life situations, the theme of
vocational education."
Howard did not say whether he
was contemplating any immediate
changes in Oregon's educational
system as a result of the meeting.
He considered the convention a
complete success and felt that the
educational movement In the Unit
ed States would take renewed life
as a result.

UMPQUA TUNNEL
PROJECT PLANS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Plans for construe 'on of a 1300'
foot tunnel under Hancock moun
tain, east of Elkton, Douglas county,
on the Umpqua highway, have been
revealed by the state highway oe
parmtent. Cost of the project is
construction of the tunnel la not to
begin this year, and possibly will
noi dc urraeriaicen next year. Roy
A. Klein, state highway engineer.
says it Is on the program for "fu
ture development" and will be start
ed just as soon as possible.
since the Umpqua highway ex
tending from Drain to Reedsport is
not a state road the state does not
participate in the cost of future con
struction, or improvements now In
progress, but the state department
furnishes the engineering as it is
required by law to do. Cooperating
In the cost are the government, the
Umpqua highway improvement dis
trict and Douglas county.
ac present the highway crosses
Hancock: mountain, 400 feet high.
The funnel will eliminate the 400
foot rise -and fall and will save mo
torists a mile and a half. It will be
at the site of a tunnel proposed by
tne Southern Pacific company when
that railroad began construction
of a line to Coos Bay along Elk
creek and Umpqua river in 1007.
At that time the proposed tunnel
was opened into the mountain about
100 feet at the east portal.
The highway department an
nounced the grading contract for
the ten-mile unit of the Umpqua
highway immediately west of Drain
is about 60 per cent complete and
it should be entirely finished by
Sept. 30, this year. This work will
cost $156,000, and Is being done by
Peck & Elnereon of Hoqulam, Wash.
The surfacing of this unit, a crushed
rock Job, Is under contract to A. S.
Wallace of Rose burg at a contract
bid of $105,000. The contractor hasi
set up his plant and will begin ,
spreading rock about July 25. Sur-1
facing will not be completed until !
July 30, 1931.
East of Scottsburg on the same i
highway a contract was let last
March 27 to Harmon & Tittle of
Eugene for the grading of a 4.4-
mile stretch at a contract cost of
$95,000. This will be completed by
Oct. 31, 1930. On this unit a sep
arate contract was awarded to C.
A. Catching of Roseburg for con
struction of a number of small
bridges and culverts at a total cost
of $22,101. These will be completed
by August 31 this year.
A 16 mile section between Reeds
port and Scottsburg was graded and
surfaced a few years ago as a for
est highway project and a bridge
across the Umpqua to replace the i
old ferry was completed last year
at a cost of $98,000.
The Umpqua highway Is Inter-
long, connecting the Pacific high
way and the Roosevelt coast high
way. When completed it will give
practically a water grade between
the Pacific highway and the const,
since it will not be necessary to
cross the Coaot Range mountains
at any point.
The Umpqua highawy is Inter
esting both historically and scen
ically. Tidewater on Umpqua river
extends as far as Scottsburg which
has the distinction of having been i
the third post of flee established in '
Oregon. In early days small boats
came up the river as far as Scotts- !
burg where supplies for mining 1
camps and settlements of Southern j
Oregon were transferred from boats '
to pack horses. It was at the mouth i
of the Umpqua that the Jedediah
Smith party was massacred by Indians.
Attacks on Intangibles
Tax Act Would Compel
State to Repay Million
Oregon's new Intangibles tax, up
on which the stata tax commission
pins so much hope for reductions In
property taxes. Is being attacked In
the state supreme court from four
quarters.
Three suit attacking validity of
the laws have already been filed and
a fourth Is being held In abeyance
In Marion county circuit court pend
ing final decision of the first three
luiti when it will be either further
prosecuted or dropped.
The state will lose approximately
one million dollars which has been
assessed since the new intangibles
law went Into effect. If the appel.
lants are successful In their actions.
STALLARD TO
DEFY POLICE
. H. H. Stallard of Portland. In
dependent candidate for United
States senator, has served- notice
on Salem police that, in defiance of
a Salem city ordinance prohibiting
street meetinga of any kind In a
certain area, he will attempt to
make a political speech at State
and Liberty streets Saturday night.
July 26.
In an attempt to talk at that
place last Saturday night he was
stopped by an officer.
Stallard mentions the incident In
a letter addressed "to the leaders
and supporters of the late lamented
George W. Joseph, Julius Meier,
Rufus C. Holman, president of the
Joseph-for-Oovernor club; Ralph C.
Clyde, president of the Municipal
Ownership league; P. E. Coulter,
secretary of the Progressive league."
I am a poor man, he writes.
"and street speaking is the most ef
fective way I have of getting to the
voters. I will either speak unmo
lested or I will end the campaign
in Salem trying. I appeal to all
the liberty loving people of Oregon
and the nation to aid in this bat
tle for that greatest principle, free
dom of speech, so ably defended
by our fearless leader George W.
Joseph.'
Jefferson Raymond McClain and
Charles Seehale left Friday for
Crescent City, Calif., where they will
spend several days looking after
business Interests.
It was believed that. If the In
tangibles law were declared invalid
by the supremo court, corporations
would then attack the excise tax
which would compel the state to re
turn an additional $700,000 to indi
viduals and completely disrupt the
state's present tax program.
The intangibles tax levies a tax
upon the so-called "intangibles"
owned by Individual, not upon cor
porations. The latter are taxed in
a companion measure known as the
"excise" tax.
Legality of the intangibles tax was
first brought to the state supreme
court in the "Redfield case" filed by(
Scott Redfield and Berwick B.
Wood, co-partners, and Roy A.
Johnson, A. D. Wakeman and Hugh
B. McGuire.
The Redfield case bases its com
plaint chiefly on the contentions
that the intangibles tax is an ar
bitrary classification between cor
porations and Individuals, taxing
the latter and exempting the for
mer, and that It is an arbitrary
classification between Oregon resi
dents and non-residents, taxing res
idents and exempting non-residents,
although the latter are all doing
business in Oregon and have their
intangibles in this state.
Prank Kierman of Portland, at
tacking t:.e tax purely from the
angle of discrimination between in
dividual and co-partnerships, and
corporations, declared that "No
where in the history of taxation In
America, is there presented an in
stance of discrimination so caprici
ous or of partiality so flagrant as
in the instant case. For the first
time in American history, he says,
"discrimination, not petty but sub
stantial, not reasonable but arbi
trary, is made in favor of coropra
tions against Individuals."
The third suit in supreme court,
filed by E. A. Miller, raises the ques
tions propounded In the other two
cases and a third contention that
the intangibles tax act fails to ex
clude what may be generally termed
"mortgage indebtedness.'' Attorneys
for Miller asserted that tax author
ities will, unless restrained, force
Miller and similar taxpayers to pay
a tax on mortgage indebtedness,
notwithstanding the fact that Ore
gon lawshoJd such arc not subject
to taxation.
Attorney General I. W. Van Win-.
kle will this week file his briefs sup
porting validity of the inta?iblcs
law. I
PROTECTION OF
STATE BIDDERS
ENGINEER'S AIM
-Roy A. Klein,
state highway engineer, said he fav
ored legislative action that would
provide state licensing of contrac
tors operating In Oregon, providing
the law "did not limit competition
among capable contractors."
A recent United Press story mis
quoted Klein as saying the state
highway department did not favor
a law that would compel all con
tractors operating In Oregon, to be
come licensed by the state through
payment of a fee, before they weie
allowed to submit bids for proposed
projects.
S. H. Probert, office engineer,
should have been quoted In the story
as saying he feared such legislation
would limit bidding among contrac
tors seeking contracts for state
highway projects, but that he
thought the law might be beneficial
to the building trades.
"Many times, low bids are offered
by contractors from states border
ing Oregon." Probert had declared.
"If they were compelled to pay a li
cense fee, their bidding might be
restricted and we should be obliged
in some case--, to accept higher
bids."
Probert raid he doubted the rev
enue derived by the state from such
a plan, would be hardly in excess
of that required to operate the de
partment.
