JAY BOHAN NORMAL SCHOOL KILLER Valley Record Relates How Assembly Nominee Is Regarded In City of Ashland. i Jny Boworninii is not unknown to 1 tlo renders of this paper in connec tion with his work in destroying the three normal schools o Oregon, one of which is located in tins city. His work in orKnnir.ing the senate and holding up every measure of in terest before that body and making it first subserve his plan of destroy ing the state normal schoools of Or egon with the view of submitting to the pcoplo of Oregon the Smith bill, which purposed to establish one school upon the ruins of the three, tho one school being located at Port ing Tim Smith bill was before the house nnd senate rcpentedly and fin ally tho legislature adjourned with out the passage of the bill, the house refusing to concur. Roworuutn, however, succeeded in preventing tho scnato from making appropria tions for the three state normal schools nnd tho state is left with threo idle plants on its hands and tho state without any normal train ing for its teachers for a pcnotl 01 several years, until such time as the people cither re-establish tliem or Bowermnn's plan of establishing one school at Portland is submitted to tho people by the next legislature and Toted on two years later. licft Schools Penniless. The methods of Mr. Bowerman in tho unscrupulous application and use of his position as the president of the senate and in his exactions of pledges to destroy the normal schools from the senate committees ho appointed, his ignorant, malicious lying statements concerning the state normal schools on the floor of the senate, and finally refusing to al low his puppets to make any provois ion, even to continue the schools un til the close of the school yenr, are , all familiar to the readers of this 1 paper and the citizens of the state, i This paper has also pointed out i tho utter inconsistency of such un scrupulous procedure on the part of Bowerman. whose record in several previous sessions of the legislature -was a continuous lino of pro-normal ( school votes going to the utter ex- treme of the ooinions that may have been entertained by representatives from normnl school counties. Ho Toted against the proposal to reduce tho number of state normal schools, then four in number, nnd voted against the proposition to place the oontiol of all the state normal I schools in the hands of one disin terested board of control in place of four separate boards of regents in fluenced bv local conditions. Czar-Like Methods. ' With such a record for several re j pcated sessions tho change of posi I tion to one of utter annihilation without allowing the senate committee- to even grant a hearing and in J the face of the recommendations for three state normal schools by the ' disinterested ono board of control created by tho previous legislature and the proper provision for the maintenance of the schools until such time as some other disposition had been made of tho system in Or egon, and unniiy ueserung me inc nltv nnd students in the midst of tho school yenr, Bowermnn's record for the session was as complete a stultification as it was possible to contemplnte. This change of policy in Mr. Bow erman had not one scintilla of rea son or logic behind it. Its motive was an unblushing one of contempt ible political expediency. As pres ident of tho senate he was ambitious to become governor of Oregon nnd in tho last general election ho snw the voto of the people of Oregon on the University of Oregon appropriation Bill, which had been roferred to tho people by the Linn county grange nnd other grange influences in the Willamette valley counties. The nn propriation barely carried in the stntc, nnd tho six big counties of tho Willamette valley polled majorities ranging from 01 to 70 per cent of tho voto enst ngninst the university. Just to Catch Votes. Tho attitude of tho people, and tho fact thnt the univorsity appropria tion only enrried by tho use of strong political pressure tho alumni of tho univorsity was able to bring about, left only ono impression on the Bow cnnnn mind us to tho general atti tude of thi votors of Oregon nnd the voters of tho Willamette vnlley on tho issue of stnto supported higher education, nnd ho proposed to or rango his affairs to catch tho projudico of tho Willamette valley fanatics and at tho snmo time tickle tho fancy nnd ambition of Portlnnd, which had becorao ambitions nlong tho lino of obtaining somo education ,al institutions of a larger order in ita community. Whenever Mr, Bowerman has been interviewed since upon tho matter of his stnto normnl school record ho doolnrod that it would only hurt him in the three state normal school towns interested in the graft, they have no influence, that their votes would bo a mero bagatelle as com pared to the votes that it would make for him elsewhere. Unscrupulous Course. There was no human, natural or intelligent reason for Bowennan's course. There was no excuse for his unscrupulous course save the cold-blooded one of political expedi ency in his plans for securing the governorship of Oregon. He was the state senator from Sherman, Gilli am and Wheeler counties. These counties are in Eastern Oregon, where the Willamette vnlley fanati cism concerning state-supported higher education does not obtain, nnd at the same time his district did not embrace the county in which the Eastern Oregon state normal school was located. In this way his con stituency consisted of people who were brond-minded nnd who did not whine at the expenditure of taxes for public education, who never sponged education off of missionary supported sectarian schools, nnd who wore not influenced by the presence of a normnl school in that district. In this free and independent atmos phere Senator Bowerman in several sessions developed as pronounced n pro-normnl school record as it was jKissible for a senator to place him self. From this position to a candi date for governor he stultifies him self in one session nnd without the exercise of any conscience whatever proceeds to make n football of the educational institutions of Oregon with which to play himself into the cubernntorial chair. Citizens Must Judge. The citizens of Oregon have wit nessed its lenders opernte ninny en terprising schemes of political ad vantage, but we believe they have never before come in contact with such a program as Bowerman has initiated for himself. Whether he is wise in his ideas of the selfishness of nil things being the only motives thnt govern human action; whether his experience tells him that people are dead to a broader view of pub lic conduct; whether they expect a deliberate bodj to contemplate the consecutive order of its duties; whether they desire an important public official to catch a referendum vote on an educational issue to seize the expression and then whirl an other ecticntional issue to the four winds for personal political ends, it is not for this paper to say. It is a matter of personal opinion nnd judgment. We have seen so many things happen in Oregon politics that it is not an easy matter to pass judgment upon. However, our read ers have the privilege of a good guess. and a way lo remedy them.
