HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1922
God gave parents
their children
Governments cannot rightfully
take them away
A MERICA has always stood for the protection of natural and inalien '
- " k'e r'ghts, among which none is so sacred as that of parents over
their children.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN saidi
' The Family is the corner-stone of social order and the guarantee
of public safety. No Government can take the place of the Parent, and
should never be permitted to usurp it." (Speech at Quincy, Ills., 1859.)
The results of the campaign against the so-called Compulsory Edu
cation Bill, which is in fact a Bill to Establuh State Monopoly of Educa
tion, may be grouped under two heads t
Facts demonstrated
The FACTS DEMONSTRATED, no longet
seriously disputed by anybody, are these
1 That the Bill was given a False Title, to mis- -lead
the public and deceive the voter.
I That it in no respect pretends to improve the
existing law as to the Public,SchooIs. but simply
destroys the Private Schools.
That not one cent of public money goes to the
support of any private or parochial school in this
State, or ever has, or ever can, under the plain
prohibition of the Constitution and laws
That it will increase taxation at least $1,000,000
each year, and require from $3,000,000 to $4,000.-
000 investment in new public school building, j
That it vest in the County Superintendents ar
bitrary and unappealable power to grant special
I'rivileges to the wealthy and influential, by
which they will be exempt from the law.
1 That it will prevent parents from educating
their children in private schools both inside and
outside of the State, as they cannot even send
their children elsewhere to be educated.
That so far from beinfj united in support of the
Hill, the Masonic Fraternity in the State is di
vided, many of the leading Mason are openly
opposed to it. and the Grand Master of the State
Grand Lodge has publicly denied that the Grand
Lodge indorsed it.
That the best elements in the social, religious, -t
educational, and political life of the State are op- ,
posed to the measure. i
That the educational leaders, inside and outside
of the State, are opposed to the Bill. Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia University, says: "It
should be called a Bill to render the American
svslem of education impossible in Oregon." The
President of Yale, Princeton. Chicago, Leland
Stanford and other great Universities nave cm- j
phatically condemned it. i
That the private schools, under the existing
law, are required to conform their course of stud
ies to the public schools standards, the English
language is made compulsory, and they are sub-
ject to the inspection and supervision of the State
authorities. i
I That the proposed law will close up every
orphan asylum, home for defective and dependent
children, and other private charities, where any,
elementary instruction of the inmates is at-'
tempted.
I That it destroys the rights of minorities, the most
vital and valuable principle of Americanism, and the
one that has preserved this country from the tyranny
Of Old World GovernmcnU
THE ARGUMENTS UNANSWERED against
the bill are contained in the "Voters Pamphlet
issued by the State The chief points of the same
are a follow-
Arguments unanswered
' l THE LUTHERAN ARGUMENT "If you
see fit to send your child to a school in which your
religion is taught, not one dajr in the week, but
every day, and the whole training of the child is
permeated by such religion, the State, under the
Constitution, must not prohibit you from so do-
'ing-. This bill is manifestly unconstitutional."
t 2. THE PORTLAND CITIZENS' AND TAX.
PAYERS' ARGUMENT: "if the number of chil
dren now attending the public schools is to be in
creased by adding those now taught in the private
schools, it is inevitable that overcrowding must
result unless new buildings are supplied, and it i
. also certain that taxes must be materially increased."
j 3. ST. HELEN'S HALL (EPISCOPAL) AR-
GL'MENT : "No invidious fact or condition affect-
i ing public interest has been called to our attention
' that would furnish in the slightest degree an excuse
! for the proposed legislation.'
4. THE PRINCIPALS OF PRIVATE
SCHOOLS' ARGUMENT: "It is against the best
American ideals of freedom, in that it denies to men
and women freedom of thought and action in the
choice of environment and influences for their chil
dren," . 5. THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS'
'ARGUMENT. "We are not at all certain that a
, man educated in the public school is more intelligent
j than if he were educated in a private or sectarian
I school, nor have we heard any convincing argu
jmcnt that s person is necessarily more patriotic if
educated in a public school, than if he were edu
cated in school not supported by public taxa
tion" I 6 THE CATHOLIC ARGUMENT: "There
Is no occasion now for agitation that will estrange
old friends and neighbors, and that will divide our
people into classes and factions. No greater mis
fortune can befall us than movements calculated to
Create divisions."
7. THE PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS' AR
GUMENT: "It is based on the philosophy of autoc
racy that the child belongs primarily to the Statei
it is an unjustifiable invasion of family authority, and
threatens ultimately the guarantee of our American
liberty"
') The foregoing ''Negative Arguments' are at
strong today as when written and filed. They re
: main unshaken and unshakable, after three
months of public discussion.
The great International Convention ot the Episco
pal Church, meeting in Portland recently, adopted
strong and unequivocal resolution condemning this
bill
The State Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at its meeting in Salem last August, refused
to entertain any movement looking to an endorse
ment of the bill, by the express ruling of the Presid
ing Bishop.
Upon the foregoing statement of the case we invoke the fair and intelli
gent judgment of the voters of Oregon, confident of the result if a regard
for the inherited and fundamental principles of reasonable liberty are to
prevail in this state.

SHERIDAN FRUIT PRODUCE CO
211 Wisfc:r.toa SL. Portland, Oregon
(By F. M. Green)
Now that the bulk of the fruit ia off
of the trees it will be necessary for
those growers, whose orchards have
been infected with blight or "bold
over" cankers, which may be found on
the trunk, main limbs, or twigs of the
trees. These cankers can be identified
by their blackened appearance and
from the fact that with the larger
cankers there is no definite cracking
between the dead and the green or live
bark. Also an exudation of gum may
be noted but it may not always be
present. It is necessary to cut out
every canker and not "most" of them
as these cankers, whether on the larg
er limbs or the twigs, serve as the
source of infection the following year.
Fire blight in this county seems to
be more serious than this year than in
the past and it is already causing seri
ous damage in the area in which it is
found, and is threatening to become a
serious source of danger to the fruit
industry of the entire county. To
show bow serious it may become the
following extracts from the plant dis
ease bulletin of the U. b. LI. A. are
given: "During the past year fire
blight baa caused serious loss to the
apple growers of several of the east
ern states and in Wisconsin the suscep
tible varieties are being pulled out and
destroyed." "In California an orch
ard ist on the Sacramento river report
ed a loss of 12.500 boxes of pears out
of a crop estimated at 60,000 boxes
In another county of the same state
the direase was so serious as to require
the pulling out of many trees. These
facts will give an idea as to bow seri
ous tbe disease may become.
At the present time the disease is
confined to a definite area in Hood
River county and with the active co
operation of the growers in that area
it can be stamped out entirely.
However, it is impossible for the
fruit inspector to see every tree in
every orchard and for that reason the
grower must give every tree in his
orchard a personal and thorough in
spection. Careful snd thorough work this sea
son will ssve this valley from a great
deal of damage and also eliminate a
further expense in the already high
cost of fruit production in this section.
POTATO GRADING
DECLARED NECESSITY
(By Gordon G. Brown)
Owing to the fact that this is a year
when there is a very large potato crop
I in the United States, and competition
for sales will be keen, it is necessary
to sort and grade potaotes according to
definite standards. Keporta show that
there is a slight increase in tonnage in
Oregon, with a very pronounced in
crease in Idaho, a good crop in Califor
nia, a fair one in Washington, making
a surplus in this state, lie low are
given United States grades for pota
toes recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
effective July 1, 1922.
standard grades for potatoes were
recommended by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
United States Food Administration
September 1, 1917. These grades were
made mandatory by the rood Admin
istration for its licenses from January
31. 1918, to December l, 118. The re
suits obtained were so satisfactory
that tbe use of the grades, to a large
extent, was continued voluntarily, and
they are now used almost universally
bv the trade. Many states have estab
lished them as their official standards.!
lbe widespread use of the standards
has developed the need for certain
modifications to make them more prac
ticable. A few changes were recom
mended rebruary l, iiv, ana it now
appears advisable to make further
slight revisions in the grades.
These last revisions provide for the
elimination of potatoes affected by hol
low-heart from the U. b. fancy No. 1
and U. S. No. 1 grades and the elimin
ation of badly misshapen potatoes
from U. S. No. 1. There is also added
a grade known as U. S. No. 1 Small
It is not expected that any one crop
of potatoes will be sorted into four
grades nor would such a practice be
desirable. A large percentage of the
commercial crop in most of the potato
producing sections of the country nor
mally meets the requirement of U. a,
No. 1. and this grade will provide for
most of the trade demands. Potatoes
of better than average quality can be
carefully graded and sold as U. S.
Fancy No. 1, while stocK or No. 1
quality but ranging from 1 to 1Z
inches in diameter may be classified
as U. S. No. 1 Small.
Observations made in the producing
sections show that there is a tendency
to regard sizing as the only essential
to proper grading. It should be em
phasized that, in addition to proper siz
ing by band or machine, the defective
stock, when present, must be removed
in order to meet the grade require
ments.
U. S. No. 1 shall consist of potatoes
of similar varietal characteristics
which are not badly misshapen, which
are free from freezing injury and soft
rot, and from damage caused by dirt or
other foreign matter, sunburn, second
growth, growth cracks, hollow-heart,
cuts, scab, blight, dry rot, disease, in
sects or mechanical or other means.

this six per cent tolerance shall be al

U. fc. No. 1 small shall consist of
potatoes ranging in size from 1J inches
to 12 inches in diameter but meeting
all the other requirements of U. S.
No. 1.
In order to allow for variations inci

Comparison Will
Emphasize Its Value
The Studebaker Big-Six Sedan delivers everything you can
ask of a motor car.
If you pay more than the Big-Six price, you may buy more
weight, but it is impossible to get finer materials or better
craftsmanship than are used by Studebaker.
Compare this Big-Six Sedan with the most expensive cars.
Check the body with any body built, compare the chassis
construction, look into the endurance records of the Big-Six
as compared with any other car.
Get behind the wheel yourself. Test its performance, its
comfort. Check its appearance with any car at any price. And
don't overlook this point: Studebaker has more than 3,000
branches and dealers throughout the country who are always
ready to render efficient service.
And finally, compare the equipment and appointments.
Consider the Big-Six Sedan as an investment. There is no rea
son to pay more. The name Studebaker stands for satisfaction.

TUM-A-LUM
So many of our friends have asked us, "WHAT
THE MEANING OF THE WORD TuM-A-LUM
We are going to explain the meaning of the word.
v Like a good many words in English, "IUM-A-LUM"
is derived from a good many languages. Originally
from the Chinook Indian meaning "Scattered Waters,"
"TUM-A-LUM" has come to mean in Irish, 44 Quality ;"
in Dutch, "Handling the best grades;" in German, "Ser
vice;" in French, "To excell;" in Spanish, "The best for
the money."
Put all of the above meanings together and you
have the meaning of "TUM-A-LUM" in English.
But in the language of Hood River, "TUM-A-LUM"
stands for anything in the Lumber and Fuel Line.
We have in operation 56 yards in Washington and
Oregon.
Wherever you see "TUM-A-LUM," it means SER
VICE as well as QUALITY.

Personal shopping has advantages over ordering from the
home. Some think only of the trouble, but they havo a change
of mind after they try personal shopping on account of the sav
ings. It's enjoyable, brightens up the week like those big red
