every family In Oregon should come
to the aid of Oregon's 154,000 farm
and home owners, and pay a few
cents a month toward our schools'
support or see them close. .
43 Per Cent Pay Bills
"Our schools are free to 100 per
cent of our people, but only 43 per
cent of them are paying the bills
and the majority of the 43 per cent
at present are not paying as much
as H costs to educate one of their
children. 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."

RITES BY CATHOLICS
ROME. March 30. (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.

NOT WALL STREET,
URGED SALES TAX
MAESHFIBIiD, Ore. (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.

March 31.
McMINNVILLE, Ore. (Spl.) 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
