312 X Yes for the only initiative
measure on the November ballot
This measure has no affirmative
discussion in the voters' pamphlet
but is opposed at length by the Ore-
8on Tax Stabiliation committee on
the grounds that it will not benent
he taxpoyer and that it- is uncon
stitutional The constitutionality ar
gument is ruled out on the basis
of findings of Attorney General
Van Winkle who has gone over the
measure with great care.
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."

ers' conference in Baker, Dr. Frank

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. If there is a
valid reason why a generous share
of this surplus fund should not be
applied to evening the tax burden
and bolstering up the school funds,

From where I sit . . .
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

iy Joe Marsh
House of Representatives and
made the motion urging "the
manufacture of beer in every State
of the Union." 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.
