FULL LEASED WWB TELEGRAPH REPORT
TIME TO CHANGE THE REFORM SCHOOL.
there
With a new management of the State Reform School
should be a radical change in the policy of management.
. That burden on the state should be cut in two, and the boys
scattered as fast as possible into homes.
There is a place for every boy in the world there is a home
for him, if you can get the boy and the home together.
There are well-to-do people, men and women without boys,
who have farms and homes for such boys.
A boy sent onto such a place, where he can live on the land,
away from town, among animals and healthful outdoor life, will
do better than in any state institution with other similar boys.
The state reformatory should be a clearing house for caring
for such boys and finding a suitable place for them.
If prisoners can be paroled and sent out to work in the world,
the same thing can be done for boys.
With the telephone an telegraph and rural mails a boy can be
kept track of anywhere in the state.
Anyone taking such a boy should be held responsible, and the
boy returned to the institution upon the slightest complaint.
o
THE FIGHT FOR HOME LABOR.
The campaign begun by the organized workingmen of this city
to have public work done by home labor is a very important one.
The city of Ashland ha3 spent about half a million dollars on
paving and sewers, and nearly all of the money was taken out of
the city.
The campaign of improvements has been of very little benefit
to that city all the money was paid out to non-resident laborers.
The non-resident contractor on public work naturally wants to
bring in his own crew of laborers, and get the cheapest he can.
But the home laborer who has a team, or a set of tools, or a
home to pay for, and a family to support spends his money at
home. -
, This is the real basis of this fight, and it means prosperity for
all lines of business, as well as a chance to live for the worker.
If this city adopts the policy of giving all public work to people
who live at Salem, the public money will stay here.
If it is given to contractors who are allowed to bring in con
tract labor and aliens, who are transients, the money goes away.
If it was declared that the city of Salem had adopted the per
manent policy of giving public work to bona fide resident labor
ers that kind of men would come to Salem with their families,
and would be a better class of laborers.
How much of the $200,000 paid for the South Salem sewer
went to support Salem families and home builders.
-o-
SUPPORT THE GRAND ARMY.
the
The time has come to give the remnant of the old soldiers
luridly support due them as veterans and patriots.
They are pensioned by the government they sustained, but they
deserve and are entitled to moral and civic encouragement.
The ornagization at Salem of a camp of Sons of Veterans
means much to the fading ranks of the men who fought for the
flRlt' means a younger generation will step side by side with the
veterans as they march along in the procession to the end.
For the first time in the history of state encampments of the
Grand Army their parade will have a guard of honor.
It will be made up of sons of veterans, a generation that has
not. forgotten the lessons of the war, but has buried its passions.
Hereafter, on all public occasions, the Sons of Veterans, an or
ganization to inculcate lessons of loyalty, will parade with them.
This should be considered a great honor and a rare privilege for
the younger generation to belong to such an organization.
It is a greater honor than to have been enroleld as one of the
bodyguard of an emperor or potentate.
o
THE NEW UNIVERSITY TAX BILL.
The bill for a permanent tax levy of six-tenths of a mill for
the Eugene and Corvallis schools is not satisfactory.
The first meeting of the Marion County Taxpayers' League
found not one person ready to support it, and all opposed it.
The objection is that it asks for more money than ever before,
and contains no provisions or promise of retrenchment.
If the valuation of the Btate were a billion, this bill would raise
JfiOO.000 nnnuallv for the two schools.
The state valuation is now about $960,000,000, and by changes
In methods of valuation would ensily run up to $1,200,000,00.
In a few years these two institutions would be getting a mil
lion dollars a year revenues out of the general taxpayers of the
Both schools get aid from the land funds, and the agricultural
college receives a constantly increasing appropriation from con
gress. The other objection to the b'll is that the board of regents is
to be appointed for twelve years, and they are not subject to any
control or recall by the people.
The Agricultural College this year graduated eighteen in agri
culture, as was stated at the taxpayers' league, and about 150 in
engineering.
The general taxpayers are objecting to being taxed to educate
people in any profession they say let professional people pny for
their equipment.

showed that Marion county's share of
state expenses in 1906 was $38,000. In
1011 It was ,64,774.03. In 1912 It was
$142,712.50.
Mr. Smith, of Gervals, county super
visor of schools, Bald he would vote
against the bill because the university
management had fought the referen
dum by the people bitterly, to keep
them from having a vote.
A. M. La Follette spoke against the
bill on the ground that the regents
were appointed for 12 years. It was
too long. It was the quintessence of
Impudence for the university to refuse
to allow the people to have the refer
endum on their appropriations, and
then come before the people asking
for a larger sum.
Following resolution was adopted:
''Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to the support of the public
schools and high schools open to all
the children of school age. We de
line to approve the bill for a six-tenths
millage tax for permanent support for
the State University and State Agri
cultural College."
Wm. H. Egan spoke for the common
schools and referred to the time when
the county schools ran only three
months in the year to the present,
when they were fully equipped public
schools and high schools for all the
people. When we went beyond that
our schools should be conservative.
Geo. W. Weeks spoke for the con
centrated county schools. The laws
provided for the rural high school
now. Mr. Smith spoke for the county
supervisor school law. The law would
allow four county supervisors, but
only two were allowed and at a mini
mum salary. He had 46 districts to
visit. The south side of the county had
46 schools. The county superintend
ent, visited 20 schools near Salem. In
stead of once a year, the schools were
now visited six times a year.
Harvey Clark spoke for simpler
courses of study In the public school
too many non-essentials were added
all along the line. .
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That in our opinion the
law creating two county school super
visors at $100 per month each be re
pealed, to take effect January 1, 1913,
unless revived by initiative measures
of the people.
"Resolved, That, in our opinion, the
Marlon county delegation should be In
structed to vote to abolish the Ore
gon State Railroad Commission."
Chairman Kenady said that, as coun
ty chairman, he wanted no candidates
to feel sore if they were not endorsed
by the county taxpayers' commltee, If
that committee saw fit to put a ticket
In the field. They would either put
put out an Independent ticket or en

P. L. Kennedy was chairman of the
Taxpayers' Convention, and E. P.
Morcom secretary. The delegates met
at Foresters' hall, and the secretary
read the call for the convention and
platform.
Alex. La Follette spoke against the
proposition to strike out the plank on
the single tax. He said the farmers
did not desire the single tax.
Chairman Kennedy Bald the original
plan was to allow the single tax fea
ture of the platform to stand, and let
those who had not made up their
minds on the single tax strike It out.
A. II. Huddleson also opposed the
single tax. The platform without that
was good enough.
W. H. Egan thought It would be ad
visable to perfect the platform here
today, and make all the candidates
stand upon it He moved that the plat
form as It stands be adopted. '
Mr. Morcom read the pledge plat
form as follows:
First To do all in my power to aid
in reduction of taxes within the stnte.
Second To Join In demanding a
strict accounting of all officials for
public moneys expended and to de
mand higher efficiency in state and
county business transactions.
Third To vigorously oppose any
and all laws proposed that are intend
ed to create offices and commissions,
and to work for abolishment of a num
ber of Btnte offices and commissions
created in late years
Fourth To oppose with all my
might the single tax which In itself is
vicious and confiscatory.
Fifth To apply concrete business
methods to public affairs, and apply

every candidate for orrlce, regardless r , . ,
of political belief.
Judge Overton asked If this was to
be a non-polltlcal organization. He
rather favored making it non-partisan.
He was opposed to the single tax.
M, L. Jones sold the question was
whether the membership pledge should
be made the platform of the county
taxpayers' convention. What we were
getting at was a demand for better ad
ministration of county and state af
fairs. This league was to be . made
non-polltlcal. That was right, and he
concluded a strong appeal against the
proposed single tax. Rental value of
some farms was now less than the
taxes. All taxation must be more rea
sonable. The government of the state
was coBtlng too much. It was a heavy
mortgage on tho producer.
Jacob Voorhees moved that the
words "non-polltlcal" be changed to
"non-partisan."
Jas. O, Holtzel opposed the change
In the wording of the membership
card. It could not be done. This or
ganization hnd no right to put out a
political ticket.
K. P. Morcom showed that the words
meant the same thing In political parlance.
Ix't the single tax experiment be
tried on some other state. Let some
other fellow have the operation per
formed on him, and If he lives through
it we might try It.
Wm. H. Egan opposed changing the
platform, and the Voorhees amend
ment was lost. The platform was then
adopted unanimously by the taxpayers'
convention.
The Afternoon Session.
At 1:30 the delegates ascmnbled and
a county commltee was formed from
the delegates present, and the presi
dent and socretary were authorized to
fill the vacancies on county commit
tee. Campaign funds were raised from
among those present, and $16 was
rotaed and turned over to T. F. Hayes,
treasurer.
O. W, Johnson discussed tho pro
posed ono board bill and six-tenths
millage tax for tho Agricultural Col
logo and State University. He was not
tn favor of so large an appropriation.
J. F. Theo. Tlrentano spoke on the
bill, and thought It asked too much.
Out of nearly 200 graduates only 18
graduates were In agriculture.
Frank Fellor and Henry W. Down
