In fact, the Ameri can Federation of Teachers Is; inter ested in providing the machinery -by means of which incompetent teach; ers may bo removed from, the school system. Far from protecting Jn-. competency, tbo American, Federation of Teachers has gone on-record-in-a most revolutionary measuro for the protection of the public schools, by demanding for its organization pro fessional training as a pre-requlslte for the chartering of a local." President Stillman said tbe Ameri can Federation of Teachers maintains that tenure should be permanent dur ing efficiency after tho lapse of tbe probationary period, which should not exceed throo years; that all dis missals, both during and after pro bation,, must bo tor causes definite ly embodied In tho educational law, such as gross insubordination, Inef ficiency and conduct unbecoming a teacher, and that after tho probation period dismissal for any cause, in cluding inotflcloncy, shall bo author ized only by an Impartial trial board.

Prosperity Is a concrete condition, not an abstract thought. It is created by tho opportunity for work, tho Investment of money In new and enlargement of old projects, tho development of .trade, the meeting of producer and consumer, tho exchango of labor for purchasing power. Tho Paclflo Telephone and Telegraph Company, representing a payroll of approximately 13,000,000 por year in Oregon, bW reached a point beyond which It cannot go with its present lncomo. It has asked for higher rates which will enable It to, maintain its service, moot Its payroll obligations and earn a roasonablo return upon Its investment In Oregon. If it obtains this It can carry on its construction program, offer moro work in Oregon, enlarge its payrolls and tako Its proper part in tho progress of this state. If It cannot secure adequate ratos Is must limit its expansion In ovory way, abandon Its plans for extensions and lay off Its construc tion crows. The rates asked for will not work a hardship upon any individual; thoy repre sent but a small Increase per station over present ratos, but in tho aggregate would t . , - permit the telephone company to continue to fully sorvo tho public, carry out its plans for tbo development of Oregon, and do its part in creating and maintaining tho prosperity which is essential to this state Adoquato service Is dependent upon adequato rates.
