Public Schools Forever
A Principle laid down in Mass
achusetts Bay Colony in 1647
Public education, supported and urerTlsJ by the 1ate. was the original
American educational programme. It was inaugurated In 1647. when th
Massachusetts Buy Colony ordained that every town of fifty nous. holder
should provide public school for the use of ALL. the reopte. This law pro
viding for universal compulsory education was made national in KS?. when
government recorded Itself to the effect that public schools and the means
of education stall bo forever encouraged.
Thus our forefathers foresaw, with that rare wisdom which marked their
deliberations generally, thai education of American youth In the public schools
was a necessary means to the end of moulding an elightened cltitenry and
through It perpetuating the' growth and development of American Institutions.
What our forefathers saw; what was true then. Is equally true today.
By educating all our children In the public schools, so that they may oecome
imbued with common ideas and ideals as to the things which mate for patriot
ism and fealty to our Institutions; by teaching them English only and by
teaching them history from the standpoint of an all-Amerlcan patriotism and
i.ot that of the glorification of any one class or creed above another by go in
these things we shall build up unified America and weld a united people.
Let us here tn Oregon do our part now. Vote 314 X Yes.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Now Is the Time for Passage of School Bill
Vote 314 x Yes
Passage of the Compulsory Public School Attendance bill now this year
will insure that a minimum number of private schools and private scuiwl
pupils will be affected. Of the 36 counties of Oregon 16 are at present with
out any private schools whatever. The combined aggregate of pupil in all
the private sch'jois in five other counties Is fewer than 20O. The total
attendance at the private schools, of the grarcmar grades, of Oregon la about
9341. The total attendance at the public schools, of thi grammar grades.
Is about 131.6S9. Surely if the publ c srhools are good encuga for the 131, 6sS,
they are also good enough for las other 9841.
At present, while the private schools are ffw and nmalt. is the time to
tn-iki the change propesej by the puliic school bill.
COSTS. No tax will be levied for years to come, as the bill does not
tike effect until September, 1926, and no tax then if the amendment is in the
courts for several years.
Wban all attend our free public tchcols the additional cost will bs slight,
for the overhead w U be the anie. Most of the children will find a place

FIGURES TALK
AND one thing tbey say is
that bank deposits in hard
times are larger than In
prosperous times. Sounds
fjueer, but In this case at.
bast, figures don't lies.
Always a period of depres
sion follows one of ; easy
money, and with it comes
repentance for the way In
which money was wasted.
And so people make a big
effort to save, knowing
what a little more money
would mean to them right
now.
The moral: open a "Na

MARKET ROAD FUND
The present Market Itoad I aw we .t Into effect 1 1
1920. Since that date Iine County has received
from this market -oad fund $.r.5.91K 00 In 1920 and
$.PH.146.00 In 1921 and fK6.343.O0 In 1B22. or a grand
total of $188,407.00 within the lam thife years. JumI
how much of this enormous sum l:as been trans
ferred to other funds or otherwise diverted from the
am contemplated by the law I not within the r?alm
of conjecture, b'lt certain It Is that our market roam
have not received the attention to which they are
tnltlid; therefore. I am firmly of ts opinion that
market road funds should lie expe-dod cn market
roads which are essentially farmers' roads rahe '
than on the I'aclflc Highway, wh't-h Is a state road.
SPECIAL ROAD TAX FUND
All sections of Lane County should recelvt their
ust pror-o-tlon In the expenditure of road nvni;-.
Special road tax money should be used only whe e
It Is voted to be used by the taxpayers who voted that
tax. I am unalterably opposed to the shifting or
transfer of such funds after they have bean vc tej
and assigned to the budget:
ROAD MAINTENANCE
I am heartily In favor of rosd roalnte anc. The
roads heretofrre constructed soou'd be kort In gool
repair and patrolled by men known to be vlg'lant In
the rnfercemer t of the law r'gulal'rg the sj eed o'
automobiles and the overloading of freight (ruKs.
Tl-ese highly destructive abuses of our public roads
can only be corrected by the constant and systema
tic attention of a vigorous and v'gllant road pat.ol.

to obtnln a ilnlln-'s worlh of work or merchunllist

ngeiuent our rtmds and bridges are. In my opinion,
coHtlng entirely to3 much money and overhead ex
I eiiBi s are out of all proportion to uctual construe
t'on accomiillshcd. I am c! lilely In favor of leii
number of road and bridge biases, thorefore, more
end better roads and bridges for the same amount
expended. For tie past several years Lane County
has employed a brldg'- supelut-ndtnt at $175 00 per
mr.nth and a road sureHiitenJeiit at $225 00 per
month, Each of these u: Tlntendenls have fore
man on each Job under const ructlo i and these fore
men receive a good sslury. If elected It Is my pur
rose to s i that tht tixnayers of Lane County shall
