SCHWAB SAYS STEEL
CAN STAND TARIFF CUT

"Cut the tariff on steel or anything
else all you please. American labor
can stand it. don't care said
Charles NJ. Schwab today at the Audi
torium Annex.
IL believe in a reduction. l feel
just as Andrew Carnegie does on that
matter. In my estimation American
steel can stand all cuts in tariff that
are made. American labor can make
the best steel in the world, and with
it we can compete with the world.
81 know nothing about other lines;
that is, technically, but l have
enough confidence in American labor
to believe that cuts can be made in
them without hurting business
81 have been in contact with labor
of all kinds for years. and l know
what 1t can do. know that American
laborers can produce more steel IN n
given time than any other workmen
in the world / know that they can
put out better steel than any Others.
1--WE can compete with any other
country. We have nothing to fear by
a cut in tariff, because we have the
best goods 1t IS true that we have to
pay our workmen most; you always
have to pay the most skilful workmen
the highest wages.
THE Americans are the best work.
men on earth. The highest paid labor
is the cheapest to the employer, The
man that understands his work thor
oughly and performs 1t without mis-
takes Is the man that makes money
for his employer.
THE man that Is employed at a
cheap wage and goes slowly and
makes blunders produces cheaper
steel or any other goods and cannot
compete with the man that thoroughly
understands his business and pro-
duces good material"
Mr.. Schwab looked the picture of
health despite recent reports OF his
Illness.

FACTS ABOUT OREGON SCHOOL LAWS
PASSED BY The LAST LEGISLATURE

Several bills relating to the public
schools were passed at the recent
legislative session, the most important
one increasing the minimum school
year TO six months, and another pro-
viding for an apportionment Of 800
to each district before the per capita
distribution is made. The present
first apportionment is $50. The
change favors the small districts. The
following is summary Of new school
laws:
First, the Hawley bill: Every dis
trict in the state must maintain at
least six months OF school each year.
A county court of each county must
levy a tax for school purposes that
will produce an amount which will
aggregate at least 81 for each child Of
school age a to 90 years.. If dis
trict's share of this sum does not
amount TO $500 (six months at $50 per
month"; then county court must levy
upon the property Of such district, a
special tax large enough to produce
the difference between such district
a0portionment Of the county fund and
5000; provided that such special levy
does not exceed 5-mill tax If the
districts share of the county school
fund and the amount raised by 81
mill tax Especial school tax does not
amc-1. T. $500. then the county court
must transfer from the general county
fund to the special fund of such dis
trict an amount that will equal the
difference.
Second, the Philpott bill: This bill
makes 4 change in the manner OF
apportioning the county and state
school funds. AS the law now is, the
county superintendent apportions the
money by first giving to each district
$50 and then distributing the balance
according to the number Of pupils in
each district This bill provides that
the county school superintendent shall
first give TO each district 800 and
then distribute the balance according
to the number Of children in each dis
trict.
Third. the bill introduced by the
Lane county delegation, providing for
a county high school fund. This bill
provides that a county at a general
election may vote upon the question
Of creating county high school fund.
When such fund has been created II Is
placed under the control Of county
high school board. consisting Of mem
bers Of the county court, the treasurer
and the county school superintendent
Every high school in such county that
maintains a school UP 70 the standerd
prescribed by the State Board OF Ed
ucat!on IS entitled to receive tuition
from this fund for all pupils attending
sucoh high school. The basis Of the
distributions is the average daily at
tendance during the school year. A
high school shall receive not less than
$40 per pupil for the first 20, $50
per pupil for the second 20 and 212
per pupil for all the remaining pupils,
provided that the total paid any dis
trict shall not exceed the amount paid
by the district to the high school
teachers.

lands Thomas represented himself
to be an agent of the department of
the interior and they compromised
on $ll50 as the price of silence. Kas-
ser issued two drafts for this amount
but the German shrewdness stopped
payment on them before Thomas
reached the bank on which they were

thoroughly frightened that he reis-

lawyer for collection. Then he went
again to Kasser's home. KAISER was
not there, but his wife was. Thomas
told her that he was a government
officer, and read from an important
