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. Hundreds, per
haps thousands of these petitioners.
If they had known that this was
bill latended to destroy every private
school In the state, never would have
