LESSENING DRIVING HAZARDS
A trade journal finds that me
chanical progress made in automobile
design m recent years is unquestion
ably preventing many accidents, and
minimizing the damage when ac
cidents do occur. It says:
"'Successive improvements such as
four-wheel brakes, all-steel bodies,
non-shatterable glass, simplified
transmissions, etc., are being general
ly included on cars. ' Among more
recent innovations conies the ball
bearing spring shackle. It is claim
ed that this development tends to
eliminate the unpleansant as well as
dangerous side sway that often causes
the uncontrollable skid. The average
road speed today was found, a decade
or so ago, only on the race track.
Skidding in race driving is generally
intentional and is known as "drift'
ing." While this has no place in high
way driving there are times when bet
ter control of an emergency skid
would be an advantage. Apparently
auto manufacturers are constantly
working toward perfecting every
structural detail that may assist in
lessening the driving hazard."
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
Representative Howard, democrat,
Nebraska, is responsible for the fol
lowing definitions: "Tame jackass:
A middle western citizen who believe
that the New England element in our
country has in some mysterious man
ner been given the divine right to
levy tribute upon the people of all
the agricultural states and particular
ly in the middle west.
"A wild jackass: Mentally speaking
of course, is a male western citizen
who is now entertaining some doubt
as to whether an almighty God ever
granted that permission to our New
England friends and is now ticking
up his mental heels very vigorously
in opposition to that damnable
doctrine."
The Manufacturer admits that keep
ing tax rates at a proper and justi
fiable level is an exceedingly ticklish
matter. If the rate is too high, pros
pective industries and home owners
are driven away. On the other hand,
if public improvements are not up to
par, the community is considered
backward and old-fashioned and the
average family or industry does not
care to locate in such a place. It is
only by cooperation of all citizens
and business-like - administration of
public affairs, that tax rates may be
kept within legitimate bounds with
out hindering progress.
o .
When, in some future century,,
says an exchange, the history of our
time is written, the good roads move
ment must be given much of the
credit for the amazing progress civil
ization has made in the past 25 years.
Provincial America is no more. In
a day's drive, 200 or more miles of
territory can be covered. It was onco
a common occurrence for a person to
be born, live and die without leaving
a state, or even a county. Now every
section of the nation is within easy
rench of our exploring populace.
Borger, the wild town of Texas, has
been tamed by Texas Rangers. The
Minneapolis Tribune, in commenting
on the Borger situation, resurrects a
legend of the rangers. "It has to do
with one Espinosa, shooting pride of
bandit bands," the Tribune says.
"Espinosa flipped a quarter of a dol
lar in the air with his right hand and
with the same drew his revolver and
blew it to bits before it touched the
ground. He met a Texas ranger who
shot him three times while ho reach
ed for his gun."
o
Seeing a picture of Senator Moses
in the Literary Digest, causes us to
frankly confess that we are not in the
least surprised that it would be an
easy matter for him to classify as
"sons of wild jackasses" contempor
ary members of the Senate, or any
one else who did not agree exactly
with his views. His visage denotes a
personage embalmed in a barrel of
egotism spiced with a supreme ar
rogance that reflects a markedly in
tolerant attitude toward the rights of
others.
ber 2, less than half way through. If
the Senate is slower than the house
in its process of tariff reconstruction,
it may be for the reason there are no
"sons of wild jackasses" among rep
resentatives. -..-. o
Governor Hartley is hinting at a
third term, and his political enemies
are in a huddle. How did the "huddle"
originate? Easy. Eleven Scotchmen

Next to witnessing a corking good

more than one Moses back there.
Forest fires should be entirely out
of fashion at this season of the year,

Truth of the matter, is,. Watson, all

The terrible "third degree" employ
ed by police departments to wring
confessions from criminals is being
pushed into the discard by use of the
lie detector machine. Admittedly,
we don't know what it is all about,
but if the machines will do the work
claimed for them, we would like to
run one of them up against a certain
bunch of Athena fishermen.

SCHOOL TOPICS
(By E. E. Coad, Supt )
The Oregon Budget Law as it ap
plies to school districts leaves several
things to be desired. According to
the law, the school district is sup
posed to budget its expense for the
fiscal school year which is from July
1 to June 30. But not one cent of
money will be received by the school
district until after the school for the
year is over. May taxes are usually
paid the latter part of June; and No
vember taxes the last of December.
You can readily see that a school
district is compelled to operate on a
warrant basis for the entire period un
less it can build up a reserve to carry
it over until the money on the budget
comes in. In fact the last half of
the budget for the current year will
not be paid in to the school district
until after, one-half of next year's ex
pense has been incurred.
In a. community that is rapidly
growing, any estimate that may be
made as to the expense that will
probably be incurred is a mere guess.
But no matter what it may be the
money will not be received from the
tax payments until after the school
year is finished.
Thus any school district, unless it
has a surplus fund on hand, is com
pelled to issue warrants to enable it
to function.
