ROBERT REYBURN BUTLER
Oregon lost another o f her foremost citizens Saturday
when Congessman Robert R. 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

has proved a serious handicap.

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. State institutions are operated by the state and they
