“THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS."
- George Putnam.
Why?
The reader is probably tired of hearing us ask questions of the local
school hoard especially since we haven’t been getting any answers.
Since the so-railed “crushing” defeat of the Citizens La-ague last
month we have been keeping most of our questions to ourselves thinking
that if the voters of Mill City approve of Inefficiency they will get plenty
Of it from now on.
But we hate to see slteep led to the slaughter before there’s plenty
of wool on their backs. (We understand the winters here get pretty cool.)
Right now we’re asking ourselves a number of questions and are
hoping our board will supply us with the answers for next week’s pub-
Mention.
We'll limit our questions to three this time and start ducking:
1. Why <li<I the school board include the “financing of the deficit”
as one of the reasons for the bond issue when mentioned at the June 30
meeting and then eliminate that phrase from the official notice of the
bond election?
2. Why wasn’t the bond issue divided into sections so the voters could
decide which |M»rts of the program the voter approved In case total approval
was not forthcoming?
3. Will the $41,000 bond issue be floated in Linn or Marion county?
Aside from that we think that the education of the districts children
is of vital Importance. Squabbles between the school board and any section
of the public Is serves are not a healthy influence on the younger generation.
There is enough bickering In the world without adding to it.
But our children will get no education at all if misuse of school funds
is a fact and not a figment of our Imagination.

One of the most perplexing issues confronting Oregon voters this
year is the so-called “Balanced Plan” placed on the ballot through a last
minute rush of activity on the |a»rt of the Oregon Farm Bureau.
Its presence on the ballot revives an issue that has confronted repre­
sentative government since its Inception. Just what should I m * the basis
for representation ?
Our founding fathers couldn't solve that one. So they compromised.
The senate, therefore, has two members from ewh state, but the house
of representatives’ membership is alliM-ated on the basts of population.
The issue this year boils down to whether area or population is the
more vital factor in deciding how much representation any county should
have. The so-called balanced plan apparently would give greater emphasis
to area. Its supporters promise the following:
1. No one county will have iiM>re than one-fourth of the seats in the
legislature.
2. Every county will have at least one representative.
3. No senate district will include more than three counties.
4. Regular and honest reap|M>rHonment procedure.

From where I sit... // Joe Marsh
Take Your Choice
Sitting around last Friday eve­
ning. the talk turned to the best
way of getting to sleep when it
seems you just can’t. “The way 1
always do," says Sandy Johnson, "is
to breathe deep and make believe I
weigh a ton."
“Just throwaway the pillow—it
works every time,’’says Buzz Ellis.
When counting sheep came up,
right away was the question: What
kind of sheep?
From where I sit, you could ar­
gue ’til Doomsday and never get
complete agreement on a lot of
things. Now, take me. I'm all for
having a glass of beer or als on
occasion. Your “sociable beverage"
may be a “Coke”—or buttermilk or
maybe a cup of hot coffee.
But enjoying our preferencee ie
a right in this country and each of
us is entitled to his own. The im­
portant thing is to respect that
right in the true democratic spirit
of understanding! As a matter of
fact, what a tiresome old world this
would be if we all did have the same
likes and dislikes!
