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.
