college business, there is no point at
which the brake» can be justly applnsl.
The N’gWS believes th«- stat«- made a
gTavc mistake when she stopped with
out thr common school livid and into
the realms of higher education. Far
bettor would it have been, and the state
constitution saveti a severe strain, if
thr large sums of money which have
been «-X|M-n<le«l for state colleges ami
their maintainance, had been ad<l«-d to
th«* public school fund, thus making it
poMible for all public schools to be
more efficient. Th«- fact that the state
ia now appropriating from 1160 to last
per year for each state college student
and only
to ill per year for each pub­
lic school pupil, does not seem exactly
just.
Our present county high school law
is a step in the right direction. It rm
powers any county to provide a county
high school fund, to lie uaoi to main­
tain «me or mon- high schools in such
county. In other won!», it enables
any county to tax herself in order to
make her schools better. Now if the
funds heretofore appropriated for col-
leg«*» ha«t l«een used as a sort of state
high achool fund, in a manner some­
what like our present high school law
provide«. there is no «loubt but what
Oregon’s educational standard would
have been much butter than it is to­
day.
But, returning to the normal school
question again, the only safe and juat
policy to a«lopt is to either vote a nor­
mal for each county or deny them to
JU
Feders) requirement. The legislature
had n<> other choice than tu ratify the
choice of the people.
The assembly people propose boldit g
an assembly for the |»urp>rw of trying
«ait or aelecting candidates for reprv
aentative in cungresa and state anil
county offic«ns, the assembly to make
«election as between rival aapiranta
aid to send «town to thr primary elec­
tion. the n«m>- of but one candidate for
each rvstMH-tivr office
As the primary
law allows thr voter to vote hia party
ticket only, th«- Republican primary
voter, arcing that he has l>ut one can-
diilatr to vote for, it can reatlily be
seen, that nine out of every ten of
them will vote for the candidate whoae
name is printed upon the ballot. True,
the voter can '-»cratch" the printed
name and replace it with a wrilen one,
but how many of them will take the
trouble to do an? And he will vio'ate
party regularity, if he does do so.
Under the dirr-ct primary law, any
man may offer himself for office. If
he complies w ith the nrov I» h > iui of the
law, his nam<- must be printed u;n>n his
(vartv primary ballot. From the proba­
ble two or nvre aspirants, the voter
has the power of selecting the man
whom he desires to l«e t>omin»t«-d The
assembly propoe«"« to take thia o| tion
away from the voter. It assume« that
the votrr has not sense enough to make
proper se'ection. lie must delegate
thia bower of selection to some of h a
