Butler passed away in W ash- ington o f pneumonia and heart disease. He died in office as did his predecessor Nicholas J. Sinnott. Mr. But er was defeated in the recent Democratic land slide by Ex-Governor Walter M. Pierce, whom he had first defeated but that was no discredit and had he lived he would undoubtedly have found other work to do for Ore gon. He will long be remembered in Malheur county for his unfailing work for the irrigation development which is now well under way. Without such men as Nick Sinnott and Robert Butler, there would have been no Owyhee and Vale projects. ............ ......... C O U N TY JUDGES SUGGEST CHANGE Voice of the Press TOO M A N Y SM ALL SCHOOLS The Oregon State Teachers' associa tion has gone on record as i a voting consolidation of Oregon’s 2000 and more school districts into some more than 200 districts. It is a sound idea and one to whose fulfillment the state should be looking. Nevertheless It Is going to be a difficult idea to sell. There is in mind an Oregon coast city whose grade and high school facilities are more than ample for the needs of its population. Its school buildings are never filled. Yet within twenty minutes drive on paved highway leading from that city there are four country schools. By sending their children to the town schools, the parents of the adjoining districts could give them the benefits of specialized instruction for the various grades and place them in enlarged dally contacts bound to be beneficial. But they cling to their small schools and send their children to them. The traditional Jealousy of home rule held by Oregon folks is the reason. Country people in most cases would rather do with one-room or two-room schools, taught in all grades by one or two teachers, than to forego their right of local district administration. They set aside their own best Interests for the sake of having their own way. Oregon's school districts were laid out in days when there were not even decent horse-and-buggy roads in the I rural regions. T o travel more than a I few miles took so long that children oculd not go to school at all unless the , school was close at hand. Modern roads and the automobile have revolutionized all that. A ten-mile ride to school now Is but a matter of fifteen minutes or so, almost anywhere in Oregon. It is a change that places within the reach of ! all school children the opportunity to 1 enjoy the best of standardized schooling, i — Oregonian. At the recent convention of the county judges, they very properly called attention to discriminations against the counties in favor of the state. They suggested a change in the law giving the state its entire share of taxes out o f the first monies collected, proposing that the state receive only its percentage of the amounts collected. Even in ordinary years, the above law worked a serious hardship on many counties on account o f tax delinquen cies. With a growing delinquency, the counties are now faced with the necessity o f paying the state even though it drained them of nearly all they collected. It is suggested that the counties should pay only the per centage o f the state's levy that they actually collect. Since ili I mimmi ti nn 11 1 : a « mi um 1 mi 1 1 1 1 m a urn a n m 1 11 1 a in n ti it a a a a 11 m it u « u a 1 1 it aa u $» only a small part of the state's funds come from the proper ty roll now, this would not work much o f a hardship and g might help tide over several counties where delinquency E has proved a serious handicap. èri The county judges’ proposal would make the state still i shorter on finances but it seems the more equitable way. County judges also favored repeal of Governor Meier’s law which transferred the cost ofinsane patients from state to county, which last year cost Malheur county over $5500.
