People of Echo Community Are Opposed to County Unit (Editor's note The Herald has heretofore invited anyone opposed to the county unit school plan to write their views for this paper but no ar ticles have been received. Purely with the idea of giving both sides 6l the question the following article 1b re-produced from the Echo News:) That the county unit school meas ure is not acceptable to the voters of this community was evident Tuesday evening when, al't,er hearing an ex planation of the measure given by B. B. Richards, the taxpayers and cit izens who attended, the mass meeting voted unanimously to adopt resolu tions setting forth their opposition to the proposed plan. The city hall was well filled with' citizens of Echo and the adjoining districts, and a del egation came from Hermiston to hear the speaking. B. B. Richards, of Athena, openiP the meeting with an address explain ing the features of the county unit measure and how its application to Umatilla county would affect the schools and school patrons. He stressed the point that the proposed law would mean a gift to the county at large of all school property, and in addition to this it would mean a grant of all authority and control of theschool to one man. He demon strated that the proposed board of five,-directors could not possibly function to supervise the schools of this whole county, and the result would be that the county superinten dent would control the educational system. The claim made by Mr. Green that he could conduct the school system under the unit plan at a saving to taxpayers was disputed by the speak er, who showed conclusively that the proposed plan would necessitate greatly Increased expenditures. Mr. Richards insisted that the county unit plan i3 unfair and unAmerican In that it makes It possible to take from the people all th.elr school prop erty and control of schools against their wishes, and to place the educa tional system under absolute control of one man, from whose decisions, no matter how arbitrary or unjust, x j ,j j j j j j j j MORGAN i !

LituaUeh pn the methods used in gHtihg statures to the petition for putting th measures on the ballot. A e yck of, -the, signers show.ed that a wrjriL vi m:ui nay no laxea la me county, and that more than half of thq signers live in Milton, a city that will not be aCfect,ed by the proposed measure. After the speaking a resolution expressing opposition to the county unit was presented and adopted, re ceiving the vote of every one in the hall. Following is the resolution: Be It Resolved by the citizen3 and taxpayers of School District No. 6, at Echo, Umatilla County, Oregon, in mass meeting assembled this 19th day of March, 1924: That we arei opposed to the county unit plan of supervision and admin istration of our school for the fol lowing reasons: That it takes the power to govern our BChools out of the hands of the people and places it in the hands of one man who can not know the local needs, and who may favor one dis trict to the disadvantage ofi another. That the judgement of three rep resentative men of the community as are now found on our school boards, is better, even in educational mat ters, than that of a 3tranger who is not familiar with conditions: and therefore the authority of the local school boards should be maintained. That it will increase taxes unless wholesale consolidations are made, and that such consolidations without the consent of those concerned Is un just. That when people have nothing to say about how their tax money is spent they lose interest in the thing3 for which it is spent, and that a lack of co-operation between parent and school will prevail. And, most of all, 1 tis unfair, un just and undemocratic, for districts of the first clas3 to have to vote on this measure, when they are not af fected by the law that does affect all second and third class districts.

No money was available, however, and the work was being held up until Judge Campbell had an inspiration which he acted upon at once an dwith good results. He went to Portland last week and put his problem before the state high way commission and asked them for relief in the form of .in extension of time on tli,e payment of $10,000 due the state from Morrow county for money advanced on the Hinlou creek highway. Knowing the judge rs they do, and his persistency in asking for what he wants and with the realization l hat the province of the highway department Is to help give the people good roads when and where needed so far as possible, the. request was granted without much argument. It is understood that tho county court nt its meeting tomorrow will order the work started at onco. McNARV-IIUGEN M NASI It H TARGET IN COMMITTEE The Oregonian News Bureau. Washington, D. C, Mnrch 29. A move to have the McNary-Haugcn export corporation bill referred to the house ways and means committee because of Its tariff provisions was blocked in committee today by Rep resentative Hawley of Oregon. Mr. Hawley did not deny that the com mittee might b,ii justified in claiming 'jurisdiction oecuuse of the tariff pro posals in the measure, but he said the committee had stepped on its rights. To ask a reference of the measure at this time, he said, meant great delay and possibly the death of tha measure. The committe,e decided to leave the hilol in the hands of the commit tee on agriculture. When that com mittee meets Monday Representative Kubey of Missouri will move (o elim inate the scrip provision. He is op posed to the scrip plan and has at tacked its constitutionality on the ground that It interferes with the right of contract. To bear the expense of adminis tration and marketing of the surplus of various commodities. Instead of the scrop he would provide, that a fixed amount possibly 15 cents a bushel on wheat and 1 cent a pound on pork be deducted by the pur chaser from the ratio price and re mitted to the treasury. Opponents of the bill who have canvassed the situation declare It cannot pass the house. Former Heppner Educator Dies Dlckerson V. S.
