Telephone !*OI TIIE RIGHT ACTIOX It Is encouraging to know that tin majority of taxpayers in llio local school district want to see Bandon n alntaln Its excellent Institutions and have voted for a levy sufficient to successfully carry on th» school: for another year while at the same time pay off at least a small part of the back indebtedness. The school Is the most Important industry in the community and to reduce its efficien cy through lack of suppoit should be one of tlie last acts of a community, no matter how stringent the times. it is true that times are hard and It will bo difficult for some to pay their taxes next year. But these conditions are but temporary and It would be unjust to take away educa tlonul opportunities that would re fleet on the young in tho future for such reasons. This is truly a time to economize, and if the present situation would have been anticipated it I h possible that tlie Board might have been abl< to cut the expenses still more before tho year's contracts were entered Into; still It cannot be seen wher< more economy could have been prac ticod for it costs practically as much to run schools in hard times as it does when everything Is booming. It should also lie borne in mind that the present financial condltloi of the'dlstrlct Is not the fault of the present board nor of past boards, but the fault of the system under which the business of the district lias been conducted. In fuel It is the people's fault for the simple reason that each yenr, for a number of years, they hsd failed to vote sufficient millage to pay running oxpen e - ? • ¿eli cit lias been a<< i:u latln.r, : less the district had voted 2 9 tax at Monday's meeting the sat tiling would have happened again with probably disaster In si -ht for tho year to come.
