PUBLICITY IN MIL BUTTLE Big Guns on Writing Staff of Railroad Invading Klamath Falls OPENING GUN FIRED First of Projected Series of Signed Statement's Make Appearance The first gun in the fight that is to be made to keep out the Hill lines was fired today, when a statement, over the signature of Marion Nine, was issued for publi cation. - While it does not so appear on its face, this is the beginning of a carefully scientifically prepared cam paign to win over to the support of the Southern Pa cific the weight of public opinion that has leaned so heavily towards the . Hill lines. The biggest publicity guns of the Southern Pacific have been brought to this city for the purpose of filing a broadside ,of propaganda. First on the list came Linzey Campbell. Ho made a careful sur vey of the situation and prepared a program that was submitted to R. E. Kelley, the big publicity chief of the system. When .tho Inlter was- Informed of tha local situation he came here post haste and sat In on the conferences. He put the fin ishing touches on tho campaign and then called in another brilliant lum inary, K. C Ingraham. who was to help Campbell. Everything was sot to the satisfaction of all and then Markm Nine issued the following statement: It the promises of Judge C. H.

III START WORK Oregon's Compulsory School Bill Knocked Out By Highest Court Attack on Private and Parochial Institutions Lost in Decision Handed Down Today by Supreme Court of WASHINGTON, June 1. (A. P.) Oregon lost in supreme court today its fight to compel children to tend public schools. ' v The court held that states in enforcing 'compulsory education laws, cannot require the attendance of child ren in public schools, to the exclusion of private or par ochial schools. . . , The decision had been awaited with unusual interest because of the peculiar circumstances of the litigation, and because many other states have compulsory educa tion laws. The Oregon law was attacked by the Society of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary and the Hill Military Academy. Throughout the contro versy there were many charges that the statute had been inspired by the Ku Klux Klan. ' Justice McReynolds, delivering the opinion for the court, said the inevitable practical results of enforcing the Oregon act would be destruction of the present par oachial schools and other private primary schools, which are engaged in a kind of undertaking not inherently harmful, but long regarded as useful :and meritorous.
