The Story of Our States B y JO N A T H A N God gave parents BRACE X L V .— OKLAHOMA HO- O K MA L A holds their children the r e c o r d fo r rapid g r o w t h . It was In the first term of President Benjamin Harrison that Okla homa was opened up. Good farm land available under the Home stead Act was difficult to find so the United States bought from the Indians, who had been segre gated in Indian territory, a large tract of some 40,000 square miles that had been used largely by the Indians as pasture for their cattle and horses. This was called Oklahoma, a word mean ing “fine country,” and was ar ranged to be ready for sale to homesteaders at 12 o'clock noon of April 22, 18S9. Troops were placed on guard to prevent any settlers entering before that time for more than 100,000 “boomers” as they were called, came from all over the country to obtain farms or places for business. On the stroke of the hour, bugles sounded and the mad rush by men, women and children to lo cate claims began. The govern ment had arranged land officers at ninny places at which claims could be filed for the farms or city lots, and all that day these were besieged By fighting mobs to register their selections. Be fore nightfall hundreds of farms were staked out and Oklahoma City and Guthrie were well on their way to become cities. Thus was developed this re gion which came into the pos session of the United States as a part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and which was set aside for so many years as Indian country. Previous to the forma tion of Oklahoma territory, con gress had forbidden white set tlers In this part of the country, and this edict was enforced by federal troops. As the demand for more land was fell and ns the Indians decreased In numbers, Indian territory was added to Oklahoma territory, and in l ’Ji'T It was admitted to the Union as the State of Oklahoma, adding another star to our flag, which for eleven years hud contained forty-five. The state has flour ished to such an extent that it has ten presidential electors, which is more than double that of many of the older states of larger size. Governments cannot rightfully take them aw ay A M E R I C A fia* always stood f o r the p ro tection o f natu ral anti inalien* able rights, am ong w hich n o n e is so sacred as that o f pa re nts ov er their ch ild ren .

ORIGINAL ESTIMATE AM) ACCOUNTING SHEET. School District No. 108. G A R FIELD ITEMS Facts demonstrated Arguments unanswered The FACTS D E M O N ST RA T E D , no lon^et •eriously disputed by anybody, arc these That the Bill was given a False Title, to mis lead the public and deceive the voters That it in no respect pretends to improve the existing law as to the F’ublic,Schools. but simply destroys the Private Schools That not one cent of public money goes to the support of any private or parochial school m tins State, or ever has, or ever can. under the plain prohibition of the Constitution and laws That it will increase taxation at least $1,000,000 each year, and require from $3,000,000 to $ 4 , 000 ,- 000 investment in new public school buildings. That it vests in the County Superintendents ar bitrary and unappealable power to grant special privileges to the wealthy and influential, by which they will be exempt from the law. That it will prevent parents from educating their children in private schools both inside and outside of the State, as they cannot even send their children elsewhere to be educated That so far from being united in support of the mil. the Masonic Fraternity in the State is di vided, many of the leading Masons are openly opposed to it. and the Grand Master of the State Grand Lodge has publicly denied that the Grand Lodge indorsed it. That the best elements in the social religious, educational, and political life of the Slate are op posed to the measure That the educational leaders, inside and outside of the State, are opposed to the Bill Dr Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, says If should be called a Bill to render the American system of education impossible in Oregon " The Presidents of Yale, Princeton. Chicago. I.eland Stanford and other great Universities have em phatically condemned it That the private schools, under the existing law, arc required to conform their course of stud ies to the public schools standards, the l.nghsh language is made compulsory, and they are s u b ject to the inspection and supervision of ihc State authorities. That the proposed law will close up every orphan asylum, home for defective and dependent children, and other private charities, where any elementary instruction of the inmates is at tempted That it destroys the rights of minorities the most vital and valuable principle of Amcricani-m and the pile that lias preserved this country from the tyranny of Old World Governments THE ARGUMENTS UN ANSWER I D a;:.iin«< the bill arc contained in the "Voters Pamphlet’ issued by the State The clnd points of the same arc as follows • 1 THF. L U TH ER A N ARGUMENT If you sec fit to send your child to a school in which your religion is taught, not one day in the week, but every day. and the whole training of the child ii permeated by such religion, (he State, under the Constitution, must not prohibit you from so do* ing Tins bill is manifestly unconstitutional 2 THE PORTLAND CITIZENS AND TAX* P A Y E R S ARGUMENT “If die number of chib dun now attending the public schools is to he in« crc.isu! by adding those now taught in the private schools it is inevitable that overcrowding must result unless new buddings are supplied, and it is aFo certain that taxes must he materially increased." d S I HELEN’S HALL (EPIS C OPA L) AR GUMENT No invidious fact or condition affect ing public interest lias been called to our attention that would furnish in the slightest degree an excuse for the*proposed legislation " 4 THE P R I N C I P A L S OF P RIV A TE SCHOOLS’ ARGUMENT "It is against the best American ideals of freedom, m that it denies to men ant I women freedom of thought and action in the choice of environment and influences for their chil dren." 5 THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIS TS’ A RG l M E \ T . 'We arc not at all certain that a man educated in the public school is more intelligent than if he were educated in a private or sectarian school, nor have wc heard any convincing argu ment that a person is necessarily more patriotic if educated in a public school, than if he were edu cated in a school not supported by public taxa tion. 6. THE CATHOLIC ARGUMENT ’’There ts no occasion now for agitation that will estrange el l friends and neighbors, and that will divide our people into classes and factions. No greater mis fortune can befall us than movements calculated to Create divisions 7 THE PRE SB YTERIA N M I N IS T E R S 'A R Gl M F.NT It is based on the philosophy of autoc racy--that the cliihl belongs primarily to the State i it is an unjustifiable invasion of family authority, and threatens ultimately the guarantee of our American liberty " The foregoing 'Negative Arguments' are at strong today as when written and filed They re main unshaken and unshakable after three montl tS <>f public discussion. The great International Convention of tlie Episco pal Church, meeting in Portland recently, adopted strong and unequivocal resolutions condemning this This original estimate is made in compliance with section 231-A of the school laws of 1921 and shows in parallel columns the unit costs of the sev Saturday, November 4th will eral services, material and supplies for the three fiscal years next preceding the current year, the detail expenditures for the last one of said three preced be Rally Day at the Garfield ing fiscal years and the budget allowances and expenditures for six months of Morning session at the current year.
