Subject for Sunday, December 23, “Is the Universe, including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?” SCHOOL NOTES Students, faculty and all citizens who are interested in a more beauti ful Monmouth very much regret the action of the city council in perm it ting the wanton destruction of sever al fine shade trees near the high school campus this week. Not only does it detract from the appearance of that section of the city but the trees will be missed by hundreds of people who will have to travel that section under a burning summer sun. and who would have welcomed the ex cellent shade they would have afford ed. It seems that in most parts of the state a different policy in re gard to shade trees is the custom as the state has seen fit to provide by law that teachers and school officials generally shall strive to cultivate in the minds of the children a love for tt-ees and “to encourage the plant ing. protection and preservation of trees and shrubs”. Arbor day has been designated for observance in the schools of the state and considerable time and expense incurred in older to promote the idea of civic duty along these lines. One of the ironies of the m atter is the fact that for over a year past the Ladies’ Civic Club has been active in just the op posite direction having spent mu.ii tim e and effort to induce citizens to plant trees and flowers and thus b e ju ti^ thrweity. A^ the Club meets in the high school building for their regu'ar meetings they will have hut 1o lotk across the street to see how effect ive have been their efforts to date. It takes years to grow trees hut rot long to destroy them. Was it Old Scrooge who ventured the opinion that sensible people suf fered softening of the brain at Christmas tim e? He thought a species of insanity fastened itself on people during the Christm as season, causing them to do the most surpris ing things. Otherwise sensible peo ple at such times take on the mellow ness of an overripe pippin and fare forth to squander money. They in vest in dolls, or jum ping jacks or climbing monkeys or some other jim-crack and actually seem to get pleasure out of that sort of buying. He probably thought that the pur pose of New Years, which comes a week after Christmas, is that these people may throw off their frivolity and once more become staid and sen sible people. It is a truth there is something in the Christm as season that works a transform ation upon people, though hardly to their detri ment. For a short time, in some de gree at least, we forget to be selfish * If people are ever kindly, or liberal $ minded, or tolerant, it is at this sea son of the year. If it is New Years % day with its resolutions of reform a tion th at sets them back, it would be $ a happy idea to abolish New Years and oontinue the Christm as spirit * throughout the year. $ It is u melancholy fact that has been pointed out before, that people are perfectly willing to lower taxes if some one else will go without things. In preparation of budgets, the things we are inter:s ed in must be taken care of and the things the other fellow is interested in can well be pruned. This thought is again illustrated in the actions of some of the county tax commissions which, however well disposed to lower taxes are adding the cost of another group of officials to be paid out of the com mon treasury. In Polk county we happened to get a secretary of this commission who was too conscien tious to draw his salary, for the amount of work required, and who consequently took on the work of the county treasurer without additional pay. In Yamhill county the person nel of the commission was tem per mentally if not politically, opposed tc the county officials in their budget recommendations and proceeded tc ham per and cripple their work so much that the banks of the county appealed to the supreme court and secured a victory, tem porarily at least. In Polk county the same thing, on a much less exaggerated scale happened. Of course, it was very plausibly done, for the pay of the county judge is fixed by state law and can not be reduced, while the expenses of the commissioners are within the budget. The. result was greeted in various corners with smiles, as a very smooth way of put ting one over on the commissioners In truth it appears just another move in the unfortunate feud that has cursed Polk county for some time past, and a news item on another page shows how this latest move is working out. % % % % % % % % % :« First National Bank MONMOUTH, OREGON Officer» —IRA.
