Page Two THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON THE HEPPNER HERALD AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER S. A. PATTISON, Editor and Publisher Entered at the Heppner, Oregon, Postofflce as second-class Matter Terms of Subscription One Year $2.00 Six Months $1.00 Three Months $0.50 INFORMATION WANTED ON SCHOOL QUESTION Heppner papers, through dope furnished by smooth, un scrupulous propagandists, are publishing articles on the school unit system. Heppner would like only too well to shoulder their high school indebtedness upon outlying dis tricts, and in this our illustrious school superintendent is helping the deal along; helping to further burden our poor farmers by shoving onto them their quack, bugaboo unit system. Ye gods! lone Independent. Tut, tut, brother. Don't get so excited all at once. So far as the Herald is concerned it believes the province of a newspaper in regard to any public question in which the public is or should be interested is to publish all the infor" jnation possible on both sides. The Herald has been pub lishing some articles favorable to the county unit system but its space is just as available and just as free for argu" ments against the measure. Brother Ilasslcr is a pretty "smooth," though not an "'unscrupulous" propagandist himself and we gladly prof" fer him space in the Herald in which to advance ;jny argu ments he may have against the proposed county unit school system. The Herald man is looking for all the in" formation he can get on this very important subject be fore deciding how to vote on it and he believes the reading public is in a similar frame of mind. We will, therefore, welcome an article from Mr. Hassler's virile typewriter and will gladly give it space in the Herald. What we want to know is how the system will work out; how it has worked out i nother states and counties, wheth etr it will raise or lower the taxes, whether it wiill give us better or poorer elementary schools in Morrow county and whether should it appear that it will increase taxes and improve the schools the improvement will be worth the increased cost as a business proposition. This offer of space is not limited to Mr. Hassler but is open to anyone who has information on the subject that he thinks will be of interest to Herald readers.
