Ed. Journal. Allow a few state
ments through your columns regard
ing tbe school question. First Salem
schools have not been without superin
tendence. Mrs. Grubbe's trip was
taken after tbe promotions and trans
farx at the beclnulDK of tbe term, and
she returned in titue to prepare exam
inations for tbe close of the year. Each
principal bad special directions regard
ing matters of general work. Every
detail of teachers' meetings was ar
ranged and teachers appointed to load
the grade meeting. Beside these
things she paid a substitute to attend
the ofllco work during her absence.
With all these precautions to those
who know best many things went
wrong.
Second, Salem might profit by tho
experience of Astoria in this matter.
She paid each principal more than ba
tern purposes paying a superintendent
ml now coea back to theDlan of a city
superintendent though sharing the uni
form trouble auoui runua. as wen say
each officer of a ship can do his part boot
to act independently with no captain
to direct all as talk of a system of city
schools with no superintendent. One
point of many may be presented.
Now while each teacher has scope for
Dm creAtest individuality In tbe man
ner she does btr work, each covers the
same ground in a given time, and chil
dren going from one part of the cl.y to
another, have no Interruption In their
work being sure of classes ready for
them to euter.
No one advocated economy more
honestly than we do, but to any per
son knowing what schools should ac
complish either employing a cheap su-
nerlntendeut or doiug away with tne
office Is penny wise and pound foolish.
Salem caunot to do without a Clear
beaded, active, well Informed person as
superintendent, if she wishes her
uohnnii. Moeciai v as tuev are expeoieu
to duUb a ten grade in nine months,and
wuuiiurkm - v ... .-w -....,
tbe rooms, will, of necessity, bo crowded
n Mvtiint of the school board havlnir
thought best to economise, by opening
no more rooms tills year.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
ROTTEN PORTLAND BANKING
Hew One Basic's Maiagers Fav

PDBUO TAXES TREATED AS DEPOSITS
Ila&dod Oat Among Tkomsolves
After Suspesslon.
It is time for tbe people of Oregon to
wake up to a realization of the reckless
way their public monies have been ap
propriated by alleged bankers and cor
rupt public officials.
The plain issue is whether half a mil
lion of state taxes shall be Btolen, and
perhaps as much more of other public
funds.
The banking methods disclosed by
the report on tbe Portland Savings
bank aro a disgrace to our state. That
report shows that large loans wore
made, by the bank managers to them
selves and friends after tbe bank had
taken advantage of the protection
clause of tbe law requiring 00 days no
tice from depositors beforo they could
withdraw their money and hence they
could get no money.
IIXRE ARK ALLEOED FACTS.
After depositors wero shut off large
sums of money wero loaned on several
notes at 8 per eeat Interest during tbe
few diva previea&to the bank's suspen
slon. George P. Dekum, rcclvlug teller
of the Commercial National bank, bur
rowed (4801 for one year. Edward
Cooklngbam, cashier of tbe same insti
tution; obtained 18400 on tbe same
terms; C. K. Cranston, note teller of
the Portland Savings bank, got f3000;
Q. H. Durham, f6T00; Ed. Dekum,
$3460; It. D. Durham, (3&10; Adolpb
Dekum and Otto Dekum, $1800. On
July 28, tbe day before the bank closed
its doors, L. M. Cox secured $2600 for
one year at 0 per cent, and Mrs. A, M.
Elkins and II. O. Whitebouse boi rowed
$0600 for the same period at tho fame
rate of Interest. On July 6, President
Frank Dekum and Vice President D.
P. Thompson, of the Portland Savings
bank, and President George B. Markle
and Cashier D. P. Sherman, of the
Oregon National bank, borrowed f 14,
000, giving collateral security, of un
known value.
There is one thing which Is causing
much unfavorable comment, and that
is the fact that two days before the
banks closed sons of President Dekum
apparently borrowed on notes $0561
and Messrs. It. L. and George II. Dur
ham $0&O. C. K. Cranston, a olerk in
the bank, borrowed $3000 on the 27th.
Mr. Cooklngbam, cashier of the Com
mercial bank, borrowed $8400 on the
same day; It. O. Whltehouse, (Mr.
Cooklngbam' tether-le-law) and Mrs.
Elkins $8100; L. M. Cox, father-in-law
of Mr. Btratton, $2600. All this looks
like a "family affair."
This is a sample of tbe banking meth
ods pursued by gentlemen who had In
their keeping at least $732,000 of taxes
collected from the people and which
has vanished from sight is their vari
ous "suspended" banks. It is more
than likely tUat they had several hun
dred thousand of Portland city money,
school funds and perhaps other state
fund.
If tbe city of Portland can stand this
sort of thing the slate caunot. The
people should not be obliged to stand
it. Their hard-earned taxes have beea
.toi outright and every wer l the
Latest U. S. Gov't Report

Umlvl
state should be exercised to compel the
thieves to disgorge If It takes every bit
of property they have and lands them
in penitentiary besides.
There has been an epidemic of de
faulting county officials, rotten bankers,
and defaulting public treasurers, like
Shipley of tho state Agricultural col
lege, who put a large sum drawn from
the stato treasury Into a sawdust bank
ut Corvallla a fow days before it basted.
Are the peoplo to have no redress for
this public robbery and wholesale ap
propriation of their hard-earned taxes?
All the power In the hands of the gov
ernor, the treasurer, the attorney gen
eral, and publlo prosecutors should be
brought to bear at once to recover to
the people the publlo funds, first wrung
from them by taxation and then ap
propriated by men like Sherlfl Kelly,
treasurers Malarkey and Shipley, bank
ers like J. D. Cowan of Albany, and
Dekum and Thompson of Portland,
who are still flaunting a bold front in
defiance of tho people.
Tub Journal voices the taxpayer.
It speaks for those who innooently and
confidingly pay their taxes. If no one
ever raised a hand to right this stupen
dous fraud or protect the publlo against
Bnch fraud it would still insist on speak
ing for those who so fur are not repre
sented in our weak or paralyzed state
government, except by their contribu
tions to tho tax collector.
