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.

Myrtlewood Articles
Few things are more handsome or more suit
able for Christmas presentation than articles
made of Oregon Myrtle. For beauty no kind of
wood surpasses it. This year I have a supply of
articles of this wood and bought so it can be
