I THE AMERICAN PRtLSA ASSVIATlONj !
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.
I' rider the taw. the check should
have been $,'t000. or about five and
a halt cents on the dollar, and the
cyv ernirem sued for the difference,
it now transpires that Vanderbilt's
learned lawvers are fighting the case
tooth and nail through all the courts,
so that it will probably take many
v ea'-s to settle it.
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.

How Do They Make 'Em This
Way?
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.

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

Chautauqua here on the fifth day.
