Nickels Versus Dollars President Acker:r.an's mows on the normal school qucsiion are sim ilar to the views of most people who understand the subject. Instead of ; exaggerating he spose with extreme conservatism on the topic of new normal schools. Within a few years there will be no escape from the problem because laws now in effect will force a situation that the school at Monmouth w ill not be able to han dle. But in reality there is no need for waiting for that time to come be cause the state right along is losing both in money and school efficiency by not providing a school in Eastern Oregon and one in Southern Oregon. The case is simply one of increasing demand and inadequate supply. If this same situation existed in a pri vate industry the remedy would be provided. In the case of teachers the loss is to the general public and the loss is so distributed that many do not realize the, state of affairs. However, the people are always open to enlightenment and if really shown the facts would vote for one or more new normal schools at the first opportunity. The responsibility is chiefly upon the shoulders of the Portland newspapers. If the Port land press will but awaken to the simple, fundamental facts of the sit uation they can correct the trouble very quickly. By the same token they can by indifference or opposi tion greatly prolong a state of affairs under which Old Man Oregon loses dollars by squeezing nickels. Educators who believe seriously in the view that country children and country town children as wll as city children are entitled to the benefit of instruction from trained teachers may well address themselves to those who conduct the Portland press Pendleton East Oregonian. l -.'c S.-" a check for $,'.500. or .t i;t ha'.i of one cent on the dollar.

We can't understand the thing at all. Here is a country and a govern ment that makes it possible for this voting man to stick three-quarters of a million of dollars into his pants pocket every year, but he refuses to obey its laws or help the government to rav its exrenses. And what a small thing it was if he had raid the $.'(5,000 without a murmur, Reg gie Vanderbilt would still have had left well over $(500,000 for the year. How do they make 'em that way. anvhow ?

While "You, Us & Co." pay up our little $10, or $50 or $100 in income taxes without a word, a certain young person in New York of the name of Reginald Vanderbilt is making Un cle Sam work hard to get what the said Reggie owes him. It seems that Reginald's income for the year was six hundred and fifty thousand dollars not for life, d'ye mind, but for one year! He sent Surely This Cannot Be True The Daily News Record," a New York newspaper that abhors sensa tionalism and is given much to print ing accurate news facts, states that it has information on the best sort or auhortity that the new tax law soon to be enacted at Washington will (1) "Eliminate the present ex cess prohts tax; (2) Reduce the high er surtax rate on incomes; (3) In crease the lower surtax rate on in comes." Let's see. No. 1 "Eliminate the present ex cess profits tax." That is the tax which is paid by big corporations and institutions if they make great pro fits. No. 2 "Reduce the higher sur tax rate on incomes." The higher surtaxes are now paid by the few thousand rich who have huge in comes. NO. 3 "Increase the lower surtax rates on incomes." The lower sur tax is paid by the hundreds of thou sands of people who have compara tively small incomes the average merchant, the fairly prosperous far mer, the small manufacturer, the manager fellows, doctors, lawyers, and a few newspapermen. All hard workers, earning by hard daily toil every cent of their incomes. We hope the "Daily News Record" is not well informed. Not that in creased surtaxes would affect this editor much, but because we don't think such a revision of the present high taxes is fair or right. We simply cannot believe that congress would adopt such a policy. Or that wise political statesmen would agree to it. I ;tKJ 1 Booth l.mvrey "The t'lue Mountain FliiIcs. i'her" is a famous humorist as wo!l as noted writer. His long suit ts gentle satire poking fun at his hearers anil himself and other people, and human frailties in general. He is one of the best beloved men before the public withal because there Is nothins bitter or cutting In what be says. He just holds up the mirror to his hearers and helps them "See themselves as others see them." He has a number of foolish themes each containing great wisdom. He will probably talk on "Simon Says Wig Wag" when he addresses the Chautauqua here on the fifth day.
