A movement may soon be under way to invoke the referendum on the sales tax passed by the last extra- ordinary session of the state legis- lature. Petitions will be circulated. If you favor the sales tax, do not sign the petition, but if you are against it, sign it. If the referendum is invoked the people will again be asked to vote upon the measure. Un der these circumstances the applica tion of the law will be delayed sev eral months. In the meantime the situation re garding our schools continues on the downward grade with no provision for their restoration. Provision has been made, yes, through the collec tion of real and personal property, and direct taxes, which the people have been unable to pay. This newspaper opposed the sales tax when It came before the people last year, but since that time there has been no alternative offered tor the upkeep of our schools in the state, and the sales tax reaches in- dividuals who have never been re- qulred to pay taxes. There is no Santa Claus where our schools are concerned. It has always been said that the schools They would never be closed, coudn’t possibly be closed, because they were essential to the growth and development of our nation. But during this economic crisis the fed eral government has permitted edu cational economy to be practiced while school terms were being shortened, courses cut, teaching staffs lightened, and schools in many states closed, their doors locked for lack of funds to carry on. iStatiltics show that school en- rollment has increased one-half mil lion In fifteen years. There are now thirty million school children in the United State*. During this same fif teen years school costs have in creased one billion and three-quar- tors, or 3.35 per cent of our national income which has been cut, almost in half. The first economy in the depres- sion was practiced on the schools. Echool hoards suddenly saw where many courses were entirely useless tn the boy or girl, while previously they had been supported and their adoption encouraged. Teachers’ sal aries were cut 20, 4 0 and even 60 per cent, and may of these were paid In warrants. Even after 15,000 teachers had been dropped from the pay rolls, the amount of unpaid teachers salaries will exceed forty million dollars. Such practice of educational econ omy is destroying our school system. If children are not given the oppor tunity of a public school education they will grow into idle, unhappy individuals. Our school situation demands that every tax payer study it carefully before a definite decision is made against enactment ot the sales tax. 1934 Tips for Drivers. As 1934 ends, early reports indi- cate that there was an increase in motor vehicle fatalities and injuries over 1932 in spite oí the fact that fewer ears were operating during the year. The last quarter was es pecially bad. Predictions are that fatalities will approach 3 0,0 0 0 and injuries 1,000,- 000. This is a record that certainly should not be repeated. A set of New Yea ’s resolutions for the motorist, prepared by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, is a good start ing point for a safe 1934: 1 Drive at speeds suited to traffic conditions; slowly, in the city, mo derately, on the open highway. 2. Use better judgment in passing. Wait until there is 500 feet of clear distance ahead before attempting to maneuver. 3. Slow down at intersections. 4. Obey traffic signals. 5. Watch out for pedestrians. These are the five most neglected i u les of the road. Obedience to them would have saved a majority of the lives and limi s lost during 1933. Remember them in 1934. t COLUMBIA NEWS t By Helen Jendrzejewski Alpha Christley and son Del were Portland business visitors this week.
