Pendleton. mj Yc!fe;PE2eta $125,003 for something we already posses a State Norma! School plant in Eastern Oregon? Why rote an annual tax of one-twecty-fifth of a mill form Pendleton Normal when one-fortieth of a mill would prOTide ample maintenance for the Weston Normal? Do yoa want to be out of pocket 1325,000 in ten years? This is the approximate sum that a Pendleton Normal would cost over and above the cost of the Weston Normal, al lowing for a nominal increase in state valuations. Every man, woman and child in Oregon is annually taxed $30. according to A. IL Harris, a Portland writer. Taxes for all purposes in 1916 reached the enormous total of $22,000,920.94 Schools alone cost J7.00O.O0O. Why toss tax money away by granting Pendleton s absurd demands? Wlij K:t Recpea le Westo Pfci? It's ready for use and consists of four buildings and tea acres of ground. It has been recently inspected and ap proved by such prominent architects as lieezer Bros, of Se attle and Osterman Sc Siebert of Walla Walla. Beezer Bros, say that $2000 properly expended on the principal building would bring it to an '"almost perfect condition." These sub stantial taxpayers, officials and men of affairs denounce the Pendleton scheme as one of "extravagant folly:" ' i. U. KttmUr. Major of Weston; Homer L WatU, . Major of Athena; U. B.

HoOiw, Mayor of Miiton; H. L. inter, ex-County Coanm'r, Milton. 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 clear that this is a rote catching device? Isn't it "log-rolling" of the rankest variety? And finally, would you care to send your children to a town impregnated with Round Up atmosphere? Isn't it a fact that a great Round Up town is for that very reason a poor state school town? Would yoa want your children -to carouse, dance and gamble' in Happy Canyon or to even wit ness its wanton revelry? - ; (Paid adv., F. D. WatU, E.O. De- " t.l AAA 1 tA Moae, Wra. MacKet, S. A."

For the important office of district attorney, which if felled by a man of limited experience and immature judfmeut caa be made the source of much avoida ble expense to the taxpayers, the qualifications of the rival candidates should be carefully compared. Such a comparison, impartially made and with due recognition of the fart that this a non-political office, is certain to show the eminent and superior fitness of George II. Bishop.
