CUTTING UP BRITISH ESTATES
State Monopoly of Schools would cost—
In taxes—
Over $ 1,000,000 a
for operation
Over $3,000,000 /<”■ buildings and grounds
HTHE first cost of state monopoly of schools
* would be something over three million
dollars for new buildings and grounds. We
would have to pay a yearly tax of over one
million dollars for operation in addition to
what we are paying now.
They propose that Oregonians pay this bill
for “Real Americanism.” But it to not Amer
icanism to take away the right of the parent
to control the education of the child.
They propose thnt we pay thin biT to have "Contpulaory
School” But we actually have compulsory school right
now under tiw present law.
Be not deceived. What thb burden of added taxes will
go for ix an experiment in education along communistic
lines—the substitution of state monopoly in education far
parental guidance.
Russia is trying this experiment
Let us profit by her failure. Lot uo maintain our demoo
racy and save millions of dollars.
