The notion that a state with a two million dollar deficit should advise a county or school district that is and has been paying its way is not one to - arouse a great amonnt of enthusiasm among anyone but state poh- ticians. again. It is the same money that must be paid out to maintain government expenditures. k ; If the voters wish to establish small, local districts to levy tax- es for local benefit it certainly is their privilege without asking the permission of the state and should not be necessary to have any more state supervision than is needed to see that the wishes of - the majority are complied with. This prevalent notion of criticis- Mg local taxing bodies because they voted too much money in . flush times is to a great extent unfair. All governments are tarred with the same brush, states, counties, school districts and national. o BLATANT REFORMERS. Why do reformers have to be bo blatant? Take the case of Spaulding. According to his statement he is working to reduce the expenses of the state highway department and to keep as many of the unemployed working on the roads as possible. But, instead of working quietly and with reason he shouts his convic tions to everyone accompanied by accusations that the other mem bers of the board are little less than crooks. Too often those who are or pretend to be working for the pub lic interest consider it policy to adopt a truculent attitude and cre ate dissention instead of an amicable feeling that would bring more cooperation and better results No man is big enough to dominate the policy of the state the size of Oregon for long and the more bitterness he creates while in office the shorter the tenure will be Why can’t our officials with ‘a reformer complex conduct themselves so as to retain the respect of other officials and the voters as well instead of intrud- ing personalities into every conference with the almost certain re- - suit that people become doubtful of the reformer - ’s sincerity and - believe him to be merely looking for personal glorification. --------rO-------- m * t went to Portland Friday to visit Mr*.
