The increase in the high school is due partly to the larger number of our own pupils attending after finishing the grades, and partly to' the Increased numl>i*r of pupils coming iu from out side districts. According to the annual report of Ilio school clerfc the estimated valua tion of the several spools, grounds, and equlpmsnt, exceeds a quarter mill ion dollars. 'Riis Includes a site for a new high school on west-May Btreet road consisting of about ulne acres. 'The bonded Indebtedness in 1U20 was $1211,000, 1nelnfling the new Park Htreet school. There was also a deficit of sev eral thousand and outstanding war rants flrawing Interest, Three years later this dèficit was paid off and also an issue of $43,(MM) of Ixinds, for build ing the first unit of tlie present high school building, thus reducing the bonded indebtedness to $H0.(M)0. This includes one issue of $45,(MM) of 1010 when the annex to the high school and (he Coe Primary school were built ; and another issue' of $41,(MM) in 1020 when the Park Street school was built. Payment may be ma<ffi on the 1010 issue in 1031, and on tlie 1020 issue in 1040. To provide for this or for any other emergency a surplus is Is-lng built up which has already reached the sum of $55,(MM). Of this amount $15,000 Is In Interest lwurlng I Hinds and the remainder is iu local savings ac- ceunts. The income to the district In interest on this surplus amounted to $175 per month, or about $2.<MM) per year. This, of course, offset an equal amount of interest paid on Ismiled in debtedness. This surjilus is produced lM>tli by taxation as a s[>eeial item of the budget and by actual savings on tlie total budget itself. For the past five years the expenditures have been less than the budget allowance. Educationally, too, the schools have kept |M<*e with the modern demands. ■Inst a few years ago, n|sm the recom mendation of the superintendent, the board of directors adopted n course of study with minimum requirements for high school graduation. Application was then mado for admission to the Northwest Association of Necondary Hchools and Colleges, aiyl we are now a ‘recognised standard high si-tiool in good standing in this association, l>e- ing able to meet all their requirements of teachers, courses of study, dally program, maximum number of pupils tier teacher, etc., for the present year. Tho Hood River high school was built in 1IM)8 to accommodate ISO pu pils; the annex was built In 1010 in creasing the capacity to 300. NAw we are about 30 per cent aliove that num- l«*r with an enrollment of 400 impila. The problem of providing for the nor mal growth Is again acute. Forty per cent, or alxiut 100 pupils, come from outside tills district. Two or three solutlona present themselves: One is to limit the numlier of pupils from outalde districts; that plan Rt*ms neither wise nor desirable. They are. for the most part, all local people liv ing in closely Adjoining territory. A second plan, that of a union high school, was voted down by these out- »Me dim riot«. x thin1 plau tot. Hchool Dlstrlrt No. 3 to build Its own new senior high school on the.tract which it now owns, providing for ita Immediate needs for the three upper classes, sophomore, junior and senior, approximately 300 impils. and for an auditorium to seat l.(MM) or more, a gymnatdnm. class rooms, science and commercial de;girt menta, Tlie home economics and manual training depart ments would remain in the present building, which then would tie a stand ard junior high and the present fresh- man class of the high school, making a total of about 300 pupils. Tills plan ■'*»« reeentlv projgiaed to the school board by Chairman Jqpkins for their I’onaiderstton. Tlie writer believes that the immediate requirements for •meh a senior high school could be built for approximately $100,000, or nliotit one-half the estimated cost of the jiropofied new union high school. And this could be done without a bond Issue If the surplus be used for that purpose. Professionaliv also the district Is de manding and obtaining a high class of teacher*. With but one or two excep tions all grade teachers are experienced normal graduates and all high school teachers are college or university grad uate« of one or more years’ experience.

The new salnry schedule, offectlre Roptcmber 1026. will help re tain our best teachers and attract more good ones. It also provides yearly In creases for service here. Many other things might be men tioned If «¡taco permitted. In the high school all seniors must take one semes ter of public speaking : the music de partment bns organiseli and developed n boys’ glee clnb and an orchestra In addition to the girls' glee clubs: regu lar and svstematlc physical education Is provided for both boys and girls: etc. At the Park Rtri^ot school the principal has t>een relieved rtf the re sponsibility for • class room to devote her time to supervision and instructing groups that need special help: an as sembly room luui been fitted up In the basement wliert all pupils may he called together for programs, morie«, etc. Tn the grade schools thè plan of organization provides thè grouping of nnplls of «Indiar caps cities and the work then "utltofd to flt their ability.

Team-work by school and home always wins. (By John Baker) The statutes of Oregon, published in 1921) by Baucroft-Whitnsy company, consist of two volumes, 8,086 pages, and 10,357 sections. Nines then three successive legislature«, not mentioning special sessions, have- increased our statute laws by adding' l.000 chapters. There are the statute laws tn force and effect to govern the conduct of the people of the state of Oregon. In ad dition we have 113 volumes, covering about NO.tMM) ¡»ages, supreme court de cisions interpreting and explaining the meanlug of our statute laws, not men tioning the rases decided by our 27 circuit judges that never reach the supreme court. These many decisions are as uweh the law of the state as are our statute laws. Moreover, every incorporated city and town makes its own laws, known as town ordinances, for the government of the residents within its boundaries. These ordi nances are in addition to and Independ ent of the statutes, except that they must be within the scope broadly de fined by the statutes. All laws are divided into two gener al classes, civil and criminal. The vs forbid the doing of some criminal laws act with a i penalty attached for viola- tions of tlie same. Criminal laws are divided into two general classes, fel onies and misdemeanors, the former being penitentiary offeimea and the latter anything less than penitentiary. This is, indeed, the day of mpltifarloua laws. Tills is not only the day of many laws, but also the day of duplications of law enforcement departments. Hordes of deputies from state, lnmir- ance, fire, dairy and food, prohibition and other state departments swarm all about and over the state to see to tt that all law violators are justly pun ished for their misdeeds. In addition we have our sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, constables and deputy constable«, city I>ollce and city marshals literally by the hundreds, duplicating and supple menting state dejiartment law enforce ment officers, each charged with the enforcement of our laws. And yet we are told by our newspaiiers and alarm ists that crime is on the increase and that civilization is breaking down “in the middle.’’ The most common allegation in sup- [s>rt of the assertion that crime la on the Increase, without proofs submitted, is the alleged increase in juvenile de linquencies and, that in turn, 1 b laid to the breaking up of homea via the di vorce end, that in turn, for want of a better excuse, is charged to tho “easy” methods of our ill rone rourta. Most anyone, even a half wit, can assign a cause if nothing other than the stock headline we see so oftim in our daily press, “What is the Matter With Our Courts?" But few there lie who can suggest a real remedy. Thia la, indeed, the day of "passing the buck." But aa my theme 1 b law enforcement I must not go too far on sociology. Both the constitution of the United Htatea and the constitution of Oregon provide that all persons charged with tiie commission of a crime shall have the right of trial by jury. By the same authority no person accused of crime shall be compelled to give evi dence ugainst himself. Moreover, the accused shall have the right to have ills accusers meet him in court face to face. These are conatitutional rights which no court ran deny to the ac cused. Again, the accused must be proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." There Is a false impression abroad, even with some of our enforcement of- fliers, that an accused may be com- ] Mil led to give an account of his where- nlMiuts at a given time, or how he came Into isiHseaslon of stolen goods. To com|M'l him to do so would be a plain violaion of his constitutional rights. A defendant nu d not take the witneas stand at all. He cannot even be com pelled to plead hie guilt or innocence. If he refuses to plead, the court must enter a plea of not guilty. Then it la for the state to prove him guilty to the Mtlsfactlon of every ineuihev nf the Jury "’beyond a reasonable doubt” and the verdirt must lie unanimous. These safeguards are thrown abont everyone accused of crime on the theory that it were better to let ninety and nine guilty eacape than to convict one Inno cent person and, In the light of my exjicrienie'l am quite positive that 90 guilty Ohl's esrape for each convicted lnnix-ent person. Tiie rock on which moat jury ver dicts are wrivkal is the charge the court must give them defining "a n*a- sonable doubt.” While there are nu merous definitions the one moat often given by our courts is the one ap proved by our supreme court. Hate vs. Penally, reported in 3 Or. 69, and here It is: "Reasonable doubt 1» one that ex ists in the mind after a full and care ful examination and comparison of all the evidence, and one that la consist- eut with the farts that are fully estab lished to the satisfaction of the jury. A matter of fart is eatabliahed beyond a reasonable doubt when, from the evidence, the jury feel that certainty upon which they would feel safe in acting in thrir inoat Important under takings." The court must charge the jury that Iwfore the defendant ran lie found found guilty, no matter ho< plain the evidence is, it la incumbent on 'the state to prove him guilty "lieyond a rensonable doubt.” I presume that each person who reads the above def inition ran easily say for himself wbat a reasonable doubt really is but to got 11 other people to agree with him is quite another matter. Every juror takes an oath to return n verdict Hccordlng to the law aa given him by the court and the evidence adduced from the witness stand. Jurors do not remember their oaths. It is a trick as old as crime Itself for the defense's lawyer, in arguing to the jury, to complain bitterly about thia thins or that thing that the district attorney should have done. The thing complained of is usually some trivial matter, very seldom any bearing on the guilt or innocence of the defend ant, but the trick has been turned. Rome juror grata this sort of bunk, and iu leas than an hour’s considera tion he convinces the other jurors that the district attorney is the guilty cul prit, and the prisoner goes wrott free. Then the wallin’» cry goes up over the land. "What Is the matter with our rourta?” During the past five years I have proaevsited several rases, where there was practically no defense, where the spertators who had heard all the evidence «aid the Jury would return a verdict of guilty in 10 mlnnten. yet the verdict was the reverse. In two promi nent cast*« the principal witness for the defense in each rase wtioae evidence the jury believed, has sinew voluntar ily come to me and. behind ctosed doors in my private office, confeased that they testified falaely. Hood River la the original "dry” county west of Wyoming. We have more prohibitionist« to the square inch than has any other county in the whole United mates. And yet IV ia almost luiposslble to convict u bootlegger tie- fore a jury. The reason, aa I see it, la this: if a boottoggsr la caught with the gooda on hint be pleada guilty. If not, he stands trial and takes hie chancea with the ninety and nine and goes free. He may be a well known bootlegger but that "reasonable doubt" works overtime in his favor. J am fre quently asked why I do not prove bis reputation as a bootlegger. The trouble about that is this, the law will not permit a prosecutor to attack the char acter or reputation of a defendant un less he throws down the bars by first attempting to prove a good reputation, and that a bootlegger never does. Let It be strictly understood that I am not complaining of or making chargee against any particular jury or juryman. Our juries are as honest and faithful as any juries are anywhere else. But the point I make is thia. That, in the last analysis, juries are responsible for the turning free of the guilty, and not the courts. Tlie alleged increase in iawleeaneaa is not due to a weakening of the mor als or degeneracy of society, but ia due to the change in our laws. Wbat was lawful to do a few years ago is now made a criminal offense. Not many years ago anyone could buy opium at the corner drug store, with out question. Only a little more than seven years ago it wasriawful for a resident of Hood River county to have shipped In two quarts of hard liquor and two cases of beer per month. Now It la a crime throughout the whole United States to have either boose or opiates In your possession. Moreover, speed laws and truck bonding laws, the violation of which are classed as criminal, are of recent vintage. Nine out of every ten arrests made« in-this county, since I have been district attor ney, have been for doing some act that was legal only a few years ago, but now unlawful. ThZ-re has been no breaking down of our courts or of so ciety, but there has been wonderful and exceeding progress made in turn ing lawful acta Into unlawful arts by our legislature, so that our best citi zens are potential law violators with out knowing it. Few of us there are who are not technical law violators. We have a law now governing what we shall eat, how we Khali act and, before long, the law will tell us how we shall dress and what to wear. Is It any wonder there has been an increase In law violations? Let it be remembered that the people make the laws and enforce them. The law enforcement officers. Including our courts. In thia county liave been work ing overtime trying to enforce the laws and, I think,- we have made good prog ress. Remember, too, that the state cannot convict on gossip but must have real facta. ' In closing let me say that I have very little if any fault to find with our laws. They are good, and public opin ion in time will enforce them. Look ing backward does not appeal to me. I have but little use for the fellow who talks about “the good old days.' This generation and the one following is a great Improvement over any in the past. Our juvenile« are the brightest and best since the In-ginning of tim<*. Why slander them?
