ORKGOX PAGE FIVE f PUELI IC SCHO Vote 314 iC3 The purpose of the compulsory public school attendance hill is to insure tno instruction of all Oregon children of grammar school aire in a con ::ior language, a common history and common ideals, to the end that American unity shall be promoted, American ideals safeguarded and American insti tutions perpetuated. This bill is proposed because its supporters believe that only bv universal education of our children on standard and uniform lines can these things be achieved. This bill proposes no religious restriction?. It cnntemulates no limitation of the right of the parent to teach reHalon to his child in his own way and according to his own belief. "It raises no issue of religious deference. This bill is purely a measure to insure that all children bv attending the public schools snail be taught alike curing their grammar school vears so that their outlook may grow to be a unified outlook for the common weal and for their country and its institutions. To make an all-American nation we must have all-American instruction of our children along recognized stamhu-d lines. Ignorance of American Ideals and institutions and language is the greatest menace to them, because those who do not understand them properly do not support them. One, Flag One School One Language P.

HEPl'XKIt TEAM ARE UAME SPORTS In a well written story on the re cent Heppner-Fossil football game played at Fossil, the Fossil Journal pays the following tribute ' i.o the Heppner team: "In regard to the visiting team, too much cannot be said about the spirit -which the Heppner team showed. Although they knew that they were beaten, they 'p'ayed the game and playd it hard, until the ivhistie blew. Any coach or any high school should be proud of the ;aineness and sportsmanship that the Heppner team showed in the game here Saturday. f intellectual mentals of o,i, state does not where the cc.id of a parent shall educated, or t!i5 pre -ise road taut shall he followed in reaohius the liiiellectiipi standard set up by the state. The state may presenile certain fundamental sttuli.es, but it cannot dictate the precise textbooks and formulas of the curricu lum. Likewise, the state has rifvht to require a definite amount of pipnL ry Iraininu on tht part of tho-e who shali constitute the public and private teach ers of the children in iis domain. The state has a right to teat tl.e intellect but it does not have the rii-rht to shac the ftittellect without the consent of the parent, who has the first claim upon the child. The parent, and not the state, has a rh.rht to decide the character of educa tion the child is to receive whether it is to be partly religious, or altogether secular. The public schools, which are under the direct supervisdon of the state, can not impart spiritual or religious in struction. If, therefore, a parent or a denomination desires to give a child not only physical and intellectual training, but spiritual Instruction also, the state should welcome sath a plan rather than deter it. Because, as a rule, the child that is instructed in spiritual things as well as secular matters, makes a better citizen than one whose education has been purely secular. We should not forget that our fore fathers who founded this great Keipub Hc, and who framed fy us our Consti tutional laws, and gave us our ideals of true Americanism, were all educated in private schools For more than fifty years after the founding of our Repub lic, we were winthont any public schooil system, and our government was main tained and prospered, and all its- citi zens who received any education, were trained in private schools. This proesv Cunclu.savely that private schools, even without the supervision of the stat- are cot cetrimental to good government, and are cnioaible of producing 'be bignest and noblest tvpe of patriotic citizens, However, good the public school sys 'eni nny be, It may r.ttooipt to train useful ami p yal citizens for this world only. The Christian school will do all this, and besides give a spiritual training for citizenship in the world to come. Plato said, "A good education Is that which gives to the body and to the soul all the perfection or which they are capable." If the wise parent refuses to give his child this ncre complete education at his own expense, why should anyone object? The growing tendency on the part id some lo obliterate personal freedom in matters of religion is greatly to lie de plored. Kvcry American parent as siiflt should rise up in defense of his in alienable right. Kvery true love'r of liberty and or the ideals of true Amer icanism should work earnestly, setting before the people the principles involv ed in this issue, and present an effect ual protest against the encroachments upon the rights of conscience and the grant of religious liberty. I'nless this is done with all diligence, we shall awake some not far distant day to the fact that we, have lost the dearly bought liberty of which we have boasted, and have drifted back to the methods employed by the dark ages.

In this campaign, Walter Pierce has gone about the country melo-dramatically tearing tax bills in two by way of illustrating what he will do to taxes if elected. The voter, then, should analyze the tax mat ter to the extent of becoming informed as to just what part the governor plays in imposing or reducing taxes. In the first place, the voter should know that the t al levy in Oregon for 1922 is $40,473,906. This is a reduction of over $1,500,000 from last year, so that it will be seen the high cost of government following the war is already reced ing. Of this 1922 levy of 40 million, over 31 mil lion was for county, city and school district purposes, over which the governor could have no possible control whatever. Of the remaining 9 million for state purposes, only 3'2 million are taxes over which the legis lature has any discretion, and of this amount, only 2Y2 million are for the actual expenses of state government and might, therefore, in even the remotest degree, be charged to the methods employed by the governor in administering the state's affairs. In passing, it should be noted that this state levy is an increase of 41 per cent, since 1916, and not several hundred per cent, as stated on various occasions by the democratic candidate. It should also be noted that less than half of this 41 per cent occurred during Mr. Olcott's administration. This ability to keep down the cost of the state government to so small an increase, when living expenses in the ordinary home in the same period increased over 100 per cent, is a most creditable showing. MR. PIERCE'S TAX RECORD It is proper at tttis point to examine Mr. Pierce's own record on taxes and see if past actions as a legislator square with his words. Of the $9,376,289 of state taxes for 1922, which include the millage taxes, MR. PIERCE SPECIFICALLY HAS APPROVED OK $8,564,039, or 92 per cent. He had no chance at most of the other 8 per cent. Of the 1922 state taxes. Pierce introduced bills accounting for $1,429,120, or 15 per cent. In addition to this, he voted for tax bills introduced by others to the amount of $6,114,- 109, and he has given his public approval on numberless occasions of measures passed since he was returned from the legislature causing taxes amounting to $1,020,804, making a total of state taxes approved by Pierce of $8,564,038, or 92 per cent of the total 1922. There is no telling how much of the remainder he might have approved if he had had a chance, and it may be significant that the state taxes have decreased over 11 per cnt since Mr. Pierce was retired from the State Senate. Mr. Pierce has always been a consistent tax booster. He voted against only three per cent of all the appropriations of the 1919 session of the legislature and voted for all the appropria tions of the 1920 special session. In 1917 Mr. Pierce introduced a bill to exempt money, notes, mortgages and accounts from taxation. Yet he poses as being anxious to take the burden off real estate! He voted for submission of $400,000 bond issue to build a new penitentiary. Mr. Olcott, at no TAX expense and with prison labor, has fixed up the old penitentiary in excellent shape for another 25 years. Mr. Pierce voted against accepting road ma chinery from the government. That macliincry Jiow amounts in value to $1,800,000. GOVERNOR OLCOTT'S RECORD The above are but a few of the extravagances of Pierce. Mr. Olcott, on the other hand, has conducted the business of the state in an eco nomical, sane and business-like manner. He has saved the state thousands of dollars because of his level headedness and his intitnale knowl edge of state affairs. He built a new Boys' Industrial School Building by diversion of a millage fund, and therefore, without a single cent additional tax. He has insisted upon devel opment of the various state farms connected with the state institutions until the present year shows the unprecedented income from this source of $491,511. He is no talker, no politi cian, no idle promiser and is not seeking re-election under false pretenses nor catering to preju dice, but is going to the people on his own splendid record, confident that if he can but get that record and Mr. Pierce's record before the voters of Oregon that he will be vindicated on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 7tlv Vote' for Olcott o GOVERNOR REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE WALTER L.
