WORKERSKILLED BILL WOULD 6003TTAKES TO THE SKY Speaker at Nat Declares So Called School Bill Would Increase Taxes By Million a Year No Good and Great Harm if Bill Passes De tails Measure Explained. Hon. Dudley C. Woolen of Seattle, ex-congressman from Texas, Inter ested a large audience in the small hall at the Nat last night by a com prehensive exposition of the so-call ed compulsory -school law, which comes up for a vote of the people at the fall election. The suuiikor said in part: It is u stranvo and distressing symptom of tho disordered age in which we arc living that the people of a state that claims to be one of the most progressive in the Union, should be called upon to discuss and to decide a question that involves such an issue as the one that is pre sentcd by the campaign on what is known as the "School Bill." "The secular press almost unani mously has denounced the proposed hill as an anti-Catholic measure in tended to break up the Catholic paro chlal schools, and it is pretty gencr ally understood by sensible men everywhere that the real authors and promoters of this legislation have that end mainly in view. But in their fanatical zeal to destroy the Catholic schools and to cripple Catholic inter ests and institutions the initiators of this bill have overreached them selves, nnd have attacked all the pri vate schools in the state: those con 'ducted by the various religious do nominations, as well lis those that have no religious affiliation. The bill, If enacted into .law. will close evcrr private school lit the state, no mutter by . whom conducted, and it will- also clone "every "privately con trolled orphanage, children's 'home, nnd asylum for defective and depen dent children, where any elementary instruction is imparted to the in mates, because those institutions are not exempted from the operation of they are taking care of. they will be compelled to close their doors and send their inmates to the public schools, or to some sort of public in stitution supported by taxation. Cost l'eoplo Million a lear. "The enormous expense that will be entailed upon tho taxpayers or Oregon if this bill becomes a law Is beyond question, but it Is difficult to accurately estimate. From official ind unofficial sources It appears there are about fourteen thousand children in tho private schools of the stale, who will bo compelled to go to the public schools undor the proposed law. According to modern educa tional methods, 35 children are allot ted to each school room, which means 400 new school rooms for these children, and according to the statistics for modern school buildings there is an average cost of $15,000 for each school room. This means an inn-cased expense in the way of new buildings of $11,000,000, to be paid for either in bonds or by direct taxation. In addition to this permanent invest ment it will cost on nn average of $70 per pupil for tho maintenance and operation of the new schools, accord ing to the present basis of expendi ture, which will amount for 14,000 ouoils. .to $980,000 per annum. To this should be added the annual in terest upon the $0,000,000 invested in buildings at 6 per cent, which is $300,000: and the Item of deprecia tion at H4 per cent, per annum, which is $00.000 making a total in creased cost for tho operation of our public school system of $1,370,000 a year, nnd the $6,000,000 invested In the new buildings, which will depre ciate in value each year, must be paid for at full value In the end. Can the taxpayers of Oregon stand this, unless there is a pressing nnd un avoidable necessity for such increased taxation, or some beneficial end that will be attained that will Justify it. Rill Is a Fraud. "This bill was Initiated by fraud, misrepresentation. and misunder standing. The men who fathered the bill falsely claimed they had obtain ed 50.000 signatures In one day. when as a matter of fact there never were but 29,000 signatures, In round num bers, to the petitions for the bill and 13,000 of these names were stricken out by tho secretary of state ns du plicated and illegal, so that, In round numbers, there appear .to hnve been only 16,000 petitioners for the measure. , "It now Is dally appearing, nnd we have written lists signed by petition ers, to the effoct that they were In duced to sign the petitions without knowing the meaning and purpose of the proposed bill, and by mlsrenre nontntlon of Its true purpose, nnd that they now desire to withdraw and can eel their slgntures.
