Space affords only room for the fol lowing expressions: Mrs. Alexander Thompson, Oregon’s first woman legislator, now president , of the Federated Women’s clubs of Cortland—The bill Is not American; quite the reverse. It Is paternalism at its worst. 1 do not for a moment believe the generous, fair-minded peo ple of Oregon will vote in such an iniquitous measure; I have too much faith In them. Edith Knight Hill, for years a club worker, editor of the official state fed eration bulletin—With all the em phasis at my command, I will say that this proposed bill is unfair, un-Amer ican and unnecessary. It- should be so badly defeated that for all time it will lie burled deep under the over whelming avalanche of an Indignant electorate's ballots. Mrs. Norman F. Coleman, widely known educator and club woman—To my mind, this bill Is repugnant, un called for, mischievous, harking back to the dark ages of persecution, big otry, witchcraft. It should be beaten I W. L. Brewster, ex-clty commission er of Portland, leading member of the i Oregon bar, member of the Portland library board and chairman of the Non-sectarian and Protestant Commit tee for Freedom In Education, with headquarters In the Consolidated Securities building, Portland—I am devoting most of my time In the ef fort to defeat the bill. I couldn't af ford to do that If It were not pernic ious, vicious and violation of sacred principles. Judge Stephen A. Lowell, Pendle ton—I cannot too severely condemn the measure. There Is a fair com pulsory education law on our statute books now. Nothing further need be said, except to ask all liberty-loving voters to repudiate by their ballots { this bill. Louts E. Bean, Eugene—I am un alterably opposed to the bill It is useless, a backward movement and en tirely out of place In liberty-loving Oregon. The Lutheran ministry in general has condemned the bill; Presbyterian pastors throughout the state have re pudiated It; the Episcopalians and Ad ventists. whose schools It would close, have Joined In the outcry against the measure. The Protestant and Non-sectarian Committee office has evidence from all over Oregon that the bill Is in creasingly unpopular, as people grasp its sweeping, unfair provisions. ) k State Monopoly of Schools would cost— In taxes— Ofer $ 1 , 000,000 Over $ 3 , 000,000 a year for operation for Imildings and grounds HTHE first cost of state monopoly of schools A would be something over three million dollars for new buildings and grounds. We would have to pay a yearly tax of over one million dollars for operation in addition to what we are paying now. They propose that Oregonians pay this bill for “Real Americanism.” But it is not Amer icanism to take away the right of the parent to control the education of the child. 4 They propose that we pay this bill to have “Compulsory School." But we actually have compulsory school right now under the present law. Be not deceived. W hat this burden of added taxes will go for is an experiment in education along communistic lines— the substitution of state monopoly in education for parental guidance. Russia is trying this experiment Let us profit by her failure. Let us maintain our demoo racy and«ave millions of dollars. • • Vote NO on the > School Monopoly Bill V !
