DALLAS, OREGON, JUNE 15, 19C6
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronize Dallas people.
k. "tin.
Now, that tho big appropriation bill
has been approved by the people, the
state will be oblicred to pay the
amouot9 held up by the referendum,
and possibly $20,000 or $25,000 for
Interest charges besides. The four
Normal schools, which were the
especial object of attack, are as strong.
and possibly stronger, than tbey were
before, for the reason that many peo
ple will look upon the vote as an en
dorsement of the Normal school system
of Oregon. For the present state of
affairs, we have the Governor's failure
of courage and the blind and un
reasoning prejudice of a little bunch
of Yamhill county citizens to blame.
While warned on all aides that they
were putting the cart before the horse
in Invoking the referendum Instead
of the Initiative on the Normal school
question, these foes of the Normal
schools were deaf to reason and went
stubbornly ahead with their referen
dum petitions and soon secured the
small number of signatures necessary
to hold up the bill. Had they called
the initiative to their aid and let the
appropriation bill alone, as they were
advised to do, some beneficial results
might have been obtained. There is
little doubt that a bill abolishing two,
or even three, of the Normal schools
in the state would have carried in the
recent election by an overwhelming
.majority. .
If the report is true that Washington
is to escape the 25 per cent raise in in
surance rates to which Oregon is
forced to submit, the next Oregon
Legislature already has some im
portant work laid out for itself. The
people of this stute have tolerated the
arbitrary methods of the Board of
Underwriters long and patiently, and
the insurance companies have handled
past Legislatures as they pleased.
Whether the recent report of favoritism
is true or not, it is time for tho Legis
lature to wake up and place a restrain
ing hand, oq, the metftods of the
.JL!Qd0YwrUers. The bill to prevent
combinations among insurance com
panies was about the only decent bill
Introduced in the last Legislature,
and It was quietly put to sleep by that
corporation-controlled body.' Small
wonder that the insurance trust looks
upon the people of Oregon as "easy
marks." It is to be hoped, however,
that the next Legislature will arise to
the emergency, and force the insur
ance companies to deal fairly with the
people of the state.
WINNIE SCOTT IS DEAD
Well,
.Known Stockman Passes Away
at His Home In Malheur
County.
The sad news comes from .Vale, Ore,
gon, that Winnie Scott, a prominent
stockman of Malheur county, died of
heart disease at his home near Beulah
on Thursday, May 31. No word has
been received in Pallas from his
relatives, and the only particulars
obtainable are found In a meager ac
count of bis death published in the
Vule Oriano. That paper says:
"Universal sadness prevails through
out the entire country from the sudden
death of M. W. Scott, which occurred
at Beulah, Thursday evening, May
31. The particulars as we learn them
are that after riding ail day after
stock, he dropped dead from heart
disease soon after reaching home. He
was a native of Oregon, and was 44
years old.
"Each individual feels this as a
personal los9. Everyone knew him.
Everyone knew his kind, upright,
manly nature. Everyone loved the
man as a warm personal friend."
Winnie Scott was a son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. John Scott, honored
pioneers of Tolk county. His boy
hood days were spent in and around
Dallas and on his father's farm. He
attended school at LaCreole Academy,
where he was a leader in athletic
sports and games, and was popular
among his schoolmates. When he
reached the age of manhood, he went
to Eastern Oregon and engaged in
stockraising on an extensive scale.
He is survived by two brothers and
three sisters. Mrs. Clara Burson, the
oldest sister, has been making her
home with him.
