With 800 of our 3200 ele mentary school districts already with out funds and on a warrant basis. It doesn't require much foresight to realize what must happen unless we all, as a patriotic duty, adopt the modest H per cent sales tax and help everybody. "Simple honesty, no less than de sire to keep our schools open, should cause every parent In Oregon to get behind the sales tax, whose sole pur pose la to employ 100 per cent of Its revenues for main ta nee of schools and reduction of Oregon's outrage ously high property taxes in the lame amount. "No Individual can call himself a good citizen unless he wants to sup port his government. The cent or so a day asked for the sales tax Is SUSPECTED IN MATE'S MURDER little enough to request of any self respecting man." 100 DIE IN EPIDEMIC SPINAL MENINGITIS HANKOW, China, March 80.

(P) Pope Pius aided personally today In the com memoration of Jesus Christ's cruci fixion by assisting at a pre-sanctl-fled mass in the Slstlne chapel. The celebrant of the mass was Car dinal Pacelll and It was performed In the presence of 15 cardinals. Eelsewhere in Rome's many Cath olic churches, black-veatmented priests prostrated themselves before bare altars and prayed long and earnestly In mournful commemora tion of Christ's sacrifice by death for mankind. The basilicas and churches were stripped of ornament. Tapers and candles were removed. Drapes of deep purple and somber black covered the sacred Images. No masses were said nor sacrifices offered. The ceremony, which took place In all Roman churcnes, was called the "pre-sanctlfied" because officiating priests partook In one kind only of a eucharlst which was consecrated yesterday. ST.

(Spl.) The widely publicised statements of State Grange Master Ray Gill that "Big Business" and the "hidden hand of Wall Street" secured adoption of Ore gon's sales tax law, got a wallop straight between the eyes here today. State Representative J. H. McCloskey of Coos county revealed that he work ed and voted for the measure at the last special legislative session on the urgent request of "34 officers and members of the various Coos county Granges," backed up by similar re quests from Parent-Teacher organisa tions, school board members and chambers 'of commerce. In a statement addressed to the School Relief and Property Tax Re duction league of Oregon, McCloskey wrote: "If Mr. Gill considers the various Grange lodges of Coos county, many of which have already passed resolutions favoring the sales tax, and our Coos County Tax league, our county court and many other local organizations as "tools of Wall street" then I will have to plead guilty. It was at the request of so many of our leading Coos county Grange mem bers apd other citizens and taxpayers that I worked for the bill. "Many of our schools In Coos coun ty are suffering. The teachers are unable to dispose of their warrants, and with our taxes over 60 per cent delinquent, I fear many of the schools will have to shorten the term or close entirely If the sales tax Is defeated in May. "While I don't believe the sales tax measure la a perfect tax bill, I do think that as an emergency measure it will be a life saver to the property taxpayers of Oregon." Among the Coos county Granges that have taken stands for the sales tax and against the recommendations of State Grange Master GUI, who leads the opposition to the school relief and property tax reduction measure, are Included: The Coqullle Grange, Pomona Grange, Myrtle Point Grange, the Broad bent Grange and Most Western Grange.

That the majority of Oregon's urban fam- -tiles who have children In the public schools are paying no property tax, 1 upon which schools and education of children depend, Is shown by an exhaustive survey of the public schools of McMlnnvllle, which has Just been completed. The figures also show that less than oneVialf of those listed as taxpayers pay enough to meet McMinnvllle's $60 average net cost for a child's schooling. The survey covered the tax status of every school family and the figures are ex act. They ahowed that 68 per cent : are paying no taxes for school sup port and 4a per cent are rooting the bills for the 100 per cent. Jackson Survey Made The findings of the survey closely parallel a similar survey made In Jackson county recently where It was shown that 07 per cent of school operating costs are paid by property , taxes and again that less than Mlf the school patrons pay taxes for school support. The ratio of homo ownership is large in both districts. It Is believed that the percentage figures reflect the general situation In all Vie larger communities ct Oregon, Including Portland where the student cost Is $72,94 a year based! upon the average dally attendance of , 47,318 school children of the 64,000 , registered. Total enrollment of all schools exceeds 300,000. In releasing the figures for publi cation today, James E, Burdett, pres ident of the State Tax league and a prominent McMlnnvllle attorney, said: "The plain facts clearly show that Tailored Suits for Spring Why be satisfied with an ordinary suit, when you can buy a genuine Klein Medford made-to-measure suit for as low as $30 128 E.
