MR. PIERfcE SHOULD EXPLAIN
Several weeks ago the Herald took occasion to point out
the inconsistency of seeking the governor's office on a
tax-reduction platform and at the same time coming out
in favor of the compulsory school bill which, if enacted,
will increase school taxes very materially.
Now comes Mr. David Lawrence nationally known
correspondent, who recently visited Oregon while on a
tour of inquiry into political conditions all over the coun
try, and in an article published in the Oregon Journal
makes this very pertinent observation:
"What makes the situation so difficult to understand is
that the democraic nominee for governor (Mr. Pierce),
"who is making much headway because of his advocacy of
a programme for lower axation, should be endorsing a
measure, which, if enacted, would mean new schools and
teachers to take care of approximately 12,000 children now
in private and denominational schools."
It would seem to be in order for Mr. Pierce to explain
this inconsistency in his position in the campaign.
Is he really in favor of the school bill or is he so anxious
to be governor that he was willing to court the Ku Klux
Klan vote?
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE "NO"
ON THE SCHOOL BILL
Here are a few reasons why voters at the coming elec
tion should cast their ballots against the so-called "Com
pulsory School Bill."
It's title is misleading; we already have a compulsory
.school law that has given good satisfaction for years.
It is bound to increase taxes by throwing 12,000 to 15,
000 more children into the public schools at an annual cost
of about $70 per pupil..
It is un American and unconstitutional because we have
nlways recogni'zed the right of private schools to exist and
because it denies the right of citizens to give their children
religious and mjoral training if they so desire.
It is contrary to reason because it assumes that private
schools teaching the Golden Rule, the Ten Command
ments, religion and Christianity along with regular school
studies are a menace to this government. ,
It is a violation of human righs guaranteed in the 14th
amendment to the federal constitution, because the busi
ness of conducting a private school is a lawful and honor
able one and the supreme court has decided that any law
lul business chosen by a citizen as his calling may be regu-

lated but cannot be destroyed by the state.
It is wrong in principle because the enemies of religious
schools have no more right to compel others to send their
children to schools where no form of religion or morality
is taught than the friends of religious schools have to force
others to send their children to relieious schools. 'This is
supposed to be a free country.
It is despotic in nature because, as is pointed out by the
1 resbyterian ministers in their argument against the mea
sure, "it is based on the philosophy of autocracy that the
child belongs primarily to the state; it is an uniustifi
able invasion of family authority and threatens ultimately
the guarantee of our American liberty.
It is unworthy the support of any true American and
good citizen because it is designed to stir up religious
prejudice, encourage bigotry and throw the religous ques
tion into politics, and is based upon an appeal to the low
est and meanest instinct in man religious fanaticism..
CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING FARMER'S
SALVATION SAYS OREGONIAN
A leading editorial in Fiiday's Oregonian discusses the
pertinent question, "Cause and Cure of Speculation in Fu
tures" in which the dilficulties found in the way oi gov
ernment action in curbing this evil are pointed out while
referring to the inquiry now being made by the federal
trade commission. Concluding the editoib.l recommends
co-operative marketing associations as perhaps th- bes'
means for reducing the evils of speculative famblinp- in
wheat in these words:

all carry their wheat until a demand for actual consump

needed. An ably and honestly managed co-operative as

who holds for the top price. That would remove the need
of speculation to provide a market every day for all who
wish to sell, by which Mr. Armour justifies speculation
and it would leave the speculators little to speculate with'
That evil could not be entirely eliminated, for a consider
able number of farmers having the speculative instinct
would rather take the chance of high profit or loss and do
their own marketing. They would furnish material for the
operations of speculators on the exchange, but co-operative
associations controlling the bulk of the crop would have
such a stabalizing influence as to narrow the range within
which the price would fluctuate. By reducing the amount
to be won or lost, they would lessen the incentive to
gamble.
