Candidates for these five officers must file by May 16. One of the oft heard criticisms of this law is that the people will elect men of inadequate abilities to the boards and thus damage the school system. This seems to indicate a low opinion of the in telligence of the voters, who have been choosing their officers for many years and dAing a reason- ably good job of It. It is certain, however, that five good men should be elected, men who have an Interest in edu cation and also In taxpayers. There are many such in Sher man county who could qualify for the positions. It seems likely that the five directors will be found among the younger group of fanners who have children growing into school, instead of among the elder group, whose children are through school. Per haps it is true that modern schools need the administration of modems * An opportunity Is hereby pre sented to improve the schools of the county. It will require work and study and thought, and the rewards will exactly equal the amount of work and study and thought put into the job. Thls board will only indirectly have any Influence on consolida- tion of schools. It will__for the time being at least—have flnan- cial duties to perform and none other. But this law gives Oregon citizens a chance to improve rural •Bgcition, long handicapped by poor districting,. poor financing and poor planning. May the men who undertake the Job be worthy of the task. WAGES, PRICES President Truman is probably right when he says that prices are too high and that a repression may follow too long continued high prices. The number of re tail establishments has Increased greatly since the war, and while that is a condition that usually prevails after wars, there Is a reason for It. Men engage In business for themselves when St is most pro fitable. That leads to the conclu sion that the cost of materials is not the only reason for present day costs. There seems a lot of profit in them, too. As long as consumers will pay the prices merchants and other dealers can continue in business, but when consumers get to the bottom of their savings then there is a sudden end to. the big profits, and also an end to many business es When there are lots of grocery- men there is a good profit in gro ceries; there has to (be. The same is true for carpenters, printers, hardware men and everyone else. This administration is not en tirely frank - In its profession about prices, for it has recently condoned a rise in wages, which influence prices no little. It seems likely that the administration wants to keep up a pretty high price level so the national debt can be paid off easier. That might be a good way to settle that sert- ous problem. Yet there are lots of citizens who cannot buy at the present price level and reports bt Mr ftttd Mrs S. M.
