Tho op erators nr.o forced to junk ii largo part of their equipment, tear up their railroad tracks, abandon their roads, and mdvo to other sources of supply. To the lumberman this means a loss of money and time; to tho workers In mill and woods It menus, either scck ink other employment or new llilds of activity; to the community it moans a serious and sometimes n fatal setback. Rcllof from theso conditions, fores, experts state, marks a recently pro posed sale of national forest timber the most' unique offer ever mndo by the government to lumbermen. Tho timber to be placed on the market Is within the Malheur national forest, Oregon, and the government proposes to open up' tho region on the basis of a perpetual supply of forest products. Forest service estimates show that GO million feet of yellow pine saw tim ber may be cut yearly for all time, thus insuring to tho local Industries the opportunity to have a continuous stream of .raw .material, permanent bases of operation and staplo employ taent for woods, and mill workers. completely ns though a cyclone luul struck them. A. cyclone comes without warning from an unexpected quarter, A train of cars always comes along a pormn Hunt truck, so you know whuro to find It. And yet, this very day, more than one driver, somqwhore, will heedlessly drlvu onto tho tracks without looking or listening, nnd. then n rushing train will demolish his car. In company with wlto nhd chll dreu be will mcot .sudi'cu death. SCHOOL TAXES AND BILL The school budget committee has now finished its work and in a few weeks the people will be called on to Tote a tax sufficient to meet the re quirements of the district for the coming year as determined by the committee. These requirements are high higher than ever before, and .next year they will be still higher. Wo cannot care for the school neels of the children who will be a part of the expected population Increase of 1,500 to 2,000 without a much greater school tax levy. In the faco of this certainty, will the peoplo of Bend add to their tax burden hy assisting in the passage of tho so-called compulsory school law? If there were any real need for the law, we suppose that they, would readily vote the necessary higher tax. S,Inco Uiere Is not, we believe they should rote it down. If this bill passes, it means more 'supremo tost, thaa that tho young people of the ificen' found state who otherwise would attend a private or a church school will have to go to tho public schools. It means that tho school districts of the state must provide school facilities for them. Estimates made by disinter ested people sjiow that the added cost of this extra demand will be $ 750,000 or more. That is quite a" sum to add unnecessarily to the school tax bill, even of, the,. whole state. We do net- know how many such pupils, there .are in Bend. There are a few, at least. To force them Into our schoQjs will add to the district expense,by,;qur share of the $750,000. Why do .jthls at a tine when tho FALSE PATRIOTISM. Recently wo lutvo referred hero to advertisements published by sponsors of tho so-called compulsory uduca tlon bill. An answer to theso adver tisements has just appeared over tho signature of W. D. Whoolright. ono of tho leading citizens of Portland which, because it so logically and no temperately shows tho error behind tho bill, we feel should be given pub llclty hero. Sir. Wheelrlght's' letter. addressed to P. S. Malcolm, Inspec tor general In Oregon, A. & A. S. R. follows: My Dear Mr. Malcolm: You make tho surprising state ment under your name that "noth ing is farther from tho real truth" than that "tho Compulsory School Rill is being initiated for religious uroseps." May I therefore ask you to say what "tho real truth" is and especially against whom or against what institutions the proposed meas uro Is directed? Tho resolution of 1920 in which you say "tho Oregon measure finds its inception" Is as cloudy ns it is bombastic. It is " worded in such manner as' to Induce men to vote for it, without analysis, on tho grounds of patriotism. A careful reading of tho resolution, however, reveals a purpose which, if carried to a conclusion, would mean tho ex tinction of all Protestant, Catholic and non-rcllglous private schools of primary grade In. tho state. This, you say, is for "the perpetuation and preservation of our frco institu tions:" , In what respect are "American principles nnd Ideals" not Inculcat ed by theso private schools, conduct ed by American citizens and Ameri can churches? Havo you ' some knowledge on this subject? It ho, does it not behoove you to glvo tho facts not Innuendo and Implica tion the refugo of weak causes. For years we have seen young men and women from theso private schools bringing to tho active, citi zenship of our state a patriotism and integrity no whit distinguish able from that which characterizes tho young peoplo educatod In our public Institutions. .Wo have seen loyalty to their .country put to tho and. they have not no criticism), Is It it purl' of Amort caulsm to forbid parents, In whoso llfo religion In tho guiding principle, to sepd their children to private schools whortr thoy-'iunyjbo instruct ed both In tho studios prescribed by tho statu nml In tlio faith of their1 fathers? Your letter Is addressed to Ma sons. Allow mo to nail to your tit toiitlon tho fact that six of tho signers of ono of tho "Negatives" In th? Voters'' Pamphlet, are members of that honorable body In which dis sension Is now making Itself felt. Every Mason whom I liovo consult- I'd (and I liavo soon many) linn de clared himself against tho bill, with only ono exception. ... Finally, Mr. Malcolm, us an 'Amer ican, n citizen of Oregon and of thu United Slates, and representing many others, I wish to votcu tt sol emn protest against adding in tho nnmo of America, another clement of uulmoslty to tho discord that now ' itffllctA tho world and threatens civ ilization. Novor has there bjiou so urgent a call as ut present for intel ligent and right-minded men to stum thu tides of hut rod that uro now ris ing In thu hearts of thu nations of the earth, by consecrating them reived to a sincere friendliness that shall Include all classes and all creeds. 1 1 address you In my own nnmo be cause I am tho direct lineal descend ant of thirteen generations of Puri tans, the uuulterablo foes of tho Ro man Catholic Church. Crecdal In tolerance was tho coriierstono of the religious oligarchy they built In Massassachusetts. Rut they "build ed butler than they kliuw." V'ltl Into tlio campaign, does ho proceed to Inject it, for thu only religious Issue, Is I ho Compulsory School bill designed to closo church schools? Why thin imuidllu honst of ancuslry, qeclarlivu pedigree, mid dollbornto appeal to rollgloilu prejudice mid racial tolerance? ills course arouses thu suspicion that Mr. Plercn will bti tor almost anything, before elec tion, that promises n vote. Mr, Pierce's unuouueomuut re lieves real democrats of voting for him. for tho cumpulKory HChoal bill Is tho nntlthcHlH of democracy and violates tlio principles of tho lllll of Rights, the advocacy of which ere nted tho democratic party and thu safeguarding of which furnishes Its solo excuse- for continued exlntencu. No ono can bo a democrat, In tho Jotforuonlnti ttouso, and stand for any such undemocratic and tin- American legislation as this compul sory school bill Unit denies parents tho right of supervising tho educa tion of their children and makes thu child tho ward of thu stuto. that vtrlliei ut parental authority, relig ious liberty and freedom In educa tion. JULIUS SEES THE L1C1HT Sobered by thu things ho has seen In his eight months' tour of tho world as Oregon's self-appointed envoy ex traordinary ii nil minister plenipoten tiary to tho nations of tho earth, Julius Ii, Meier has returned to the United States doubting the wisdom of holding tho Atlantlc-Paclllc Highway und Electric oxpntdllou In Portland In 1925.

Tho progress of such : movement to consider whether or not freedom has been painfully slow and its cost in sacriflco beyond measure. Now a campaign of Intolerance, such ns you are making, which would sweep away tho hnrd-woii gains of 300 years, Is. n crlmo against Americanism and Christianity that can never bo glossed over by mouth- filling words and unctous profit- tons of patriotism. Yours faithfully, WM. D. WHEELRU1HT.
