cost over and above the cost of the Weston Normal, al
lowing for a nominal increase in state valuations.
Every Kan. woman and child in Oregon is annually
taxed $U, according to A. H. Harris, a Portland writer.
Taxes for all purposes in 1M6 reached the enormous total of
$00Q,93Ql4. isdSooU alone cost $;,UU0.UM. Why ttws
tax money away by granting Pendleton's absurd demands?

Why did not Pendleton confine her bill to a normal school
proposition? Why does she seek to "validate" institutions
that are firmly and lawfully established? Is it not dear that
this is a vote-catcfcinj? device? Isn't it 1og-rolJing" of the
rankest variety?
And finally, would you care to send your children to a
town impregnated with Kound Up atmosphere? Isn't it a
jci uiav a great tMunv up town is lor that very reason f
poor state school town? Would you want your children to I
cess its wanton revelry?
