The measure is entitled "Bill dis tributing surplus funds to school districts, reducing taxes therein Purpose: To provide that all money received from state income taxes in excess of $7,750,000 in any year shall be distributed to public school districts and union high school dis tricts in proportion to the number of days of actual school attendance in public schools by pupils residing in each of said districts upon the same basis for all pupils for whom they pay tuition to standard public high schools; requiring that money received by any such school district from this source shall be fully ap plied to reduce the taxes to be lev ied by such district." Speaking before the recent teach ers' conference in Baker, Dr. Frank rougn me oniy inixiauve meas ure which will be on the ballot this November, and the measure will secure distinct advantages for the schools as well as for taxpay ers." Dr. Parr indicated that the $6, 250,000 would be distributed on a basis of the actual days attendance of pupils in each school district. It has been said that as far as state support to the public schools is concerned in comparison to the other states of the union, Oregon ranks as the 49th state, which is not complimentary.

DON'T ever argue with Grandma Hoskins about American history unless you know what you're talk ing about. Because when Grandma states a fact, it really is a fact. The other day we got to talking about George Washington who besides being a great general, was a public surveyor, a successful farmer, and a wise statesman. "And he made mighty good beer, too," says Grandma. That was news to most of us. "You can see his private recipe for beer right in the New York Public Library," Grandma Hos kins tells us. "In his own hand writing, at that." And then she opened up on how Washington and those others who founded America believed in beer and moderation. Told us about Wil liam Penn who had his own brew ery down in Pennsylvania, and Is rael Putnam . . . Samuel Adams of Massachusetts and James Ogle thorpe of Georgia. "Beer," Grandma goes on, "has grown up with the country because it's a symbol of good fellowship and moderation." Way back in 1789, she told us, Jame3 Madison stood up in the Ao. 51 of a Series October 22,.

And that same year Massachusetts passed an act stat ing that "the wholesome qualities of malt liquors greatly recommend them to general use." , From there on until early in 1918, the brewing industry kept growing and beer and ale kept get ting better and better. Then came prohibition . . . thir teen dark years that bred vice and cime. Grandma says it taught u s sometl ing though something that George Wasliinguon and all those other early American states men knew all along . . . that no law ever takes the place of self restraint and moderation. That's why they were friends of beer and made moderation a cor nerstone of American freedom. They were right about a lot of thinR - Washington and Adams and l'enn. And from where I sit, they certainly were right about, moderation, too. 'Jo)yrifrlit, t')42, HtuhV! Intiasfn hmmdalton- 2
