In the pres ent campaign Candidate Pierce professes to be the apostle of lower taxes. > • State Monopoly of Schools would cost Candidates s» Governor Mr. Pierce?» Record • ■ They propose that Oregonians pay this* I fbr “Real Americanism” But it is not/Anaer-\S icanism to take away the right of the parent’ to control the education of the child.

A thousand inhabidents in Vernonia today is some growth in the past year. Our schools are now crowed, both High and Grade school, new teachers have be en employed and still not en ough. New pupils continue to • arrive weekly. There is no personal matter envoveld in the Vernonia City Election. We dont wish such an idea to be entertained what ever. There are two tickets, both with following. The names on both represent good citizens of our city, there is no prefer- ence in the individual parties. It is a case of which we believe best at this particular time for the growing town of Vernonia. It is custom for a mayor to re. cieve ths second term and in this instance there is a big lot of unfinished business under wty that many believe Mr. White should be retained as Mayor un till accomplished.
