South Dakota now has no less than
thirty-seven consolidated schools,
meaning by this combination of
two or more districts for the purpose
of establishing a central school hay-
ing better teachers and better course
of study. The children are conveyed
to the central school in vehicles, at
the cost of the district. 1t is pointed
out that this prevents the children
from lettering by the way or using
bad language or acquiring undesir-
able habits. The total cost Of the
consolidated schools Of the state last
year averaged from s1.s5 to $3.50 per
pupil.

SCHOOLS A RESOURCE.

This is the last day of the public
school year. This afternoon the clas-
ses were dismissed until fall and to-
night the members of the high school
graduating class will be given their
diplomas. Tomorrow the teachers
and students alike will begin the en-
joyment of their summer vacations.
The closing of the school year is an
event of Importance in this city. So
is the resumption of work in the fall.
The public schools of the city consti-
tute one of Pendleton's best re-
cources. Many people look upon the
school system merely as something
that involves expense but from which
NJ direct return is received. This is
not true in any sense of the word.
Aside from the inestimable benefit
resulting from the turning out Of
well trained young men and women
the local schools do much to stimulate
business within the city. The sum
paid annually to the teachers, and
which constitutes the principal ex-
pense of the schools remains in the
city. The most Of this money goes
to meet the living expenses of the
teachers and ultimately finds its way
back into the pockets of the business
men and property owners from whom
it originally came.
Then the schools attract many fam
lilies to the city. Some move to town
from the nearby country; others from
far away. Some of the students are
from distant counties. The presence
of these people adds much to the life
OF the town.
Instead of being a drain upon the
community the local schools consti-
tute about the finest resource Pen
dleton has. The same is true of other
places. Welcome the day when the
school attendance will necessitate
more buildings, more teachers and
more money. The greater the schools
become the better it is for the city.

THEY ARE TO BLAME.

For long the irrigationists Of the
west end, and especially those living
under the government project, have
complained that Pendleton people do
not properly appreciate the west end
as a good field for investment. That
local people are overlooking some
money making opportunities in that
section is doubtless true. But who is
to blame for this state of affairs, the
local people or those who are selling
the land?
There has never been a selling
agency in Pendleton for land under
the Umatilla project nor has land
under that splendid project ever been
advertised for sale. At least II any
exploitation work has been done in
this city it has been carried on upon
such a small scale as to go unnoticed.
On the other hand the people back
ing the Washington projects. against

SPoKANE'S GOOD FIGHT.

In striving for better freight rates
the people of Spokane have been fight
ing a battle in behalf of the entire
inland empire. 1t is charged by Spo-
kane's coast rivals that the victory
won will be of no benefit to the east
ern Washington metropolis, How
ev er this may be it seems certain that
the fight made by Spokane will be
of vast benefit to this section in gen.
eral.
If the inland empire had terminal
rates its freight bill on merchandise
shipped from the east would be cut
down S1,000,000 a year, declares the
Spokesman Review. In the last 20
years the people of the inland empire
have paid out, at a conservative cal
culation, $15,OOO,OOO in excessive
rates on shipments from the east
alone.
If it should cost Spokane 100000
to carry to successful completion its
fight before the interstate commerce
commission the cost would be but
fraction of what this city pays every
year in excessive freight rates.
But the sum actually paid in excess
OF reasonable charges are only small
part of the real cost of unjust rates
levied upon this city and the sur
rounding country. Discrimination in
favor of the coast cities throttles bus
mess in the interior, makes slow
growth for the country's industries
and prohibits in a large measure the
building up of manufacturing.
In the course of the last 10 years
hundreds of manufacturers who con-
templated the building of plants in
the Pacific northwest have come into
the inland empire and found the field
inviting, but, when their investigation
showed that freight rates were bur-
densome, went on to the coast and
located there.
Railroad discrimination and moth
ing else, has put two-thirds of the
population of Washington state up
on less than one-third of the states
area west of the Cascade mountains.
Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Pasco,
Colfax, Pendleton, Baker City and
other interior towns have ali had their
growth retarded by the injustice of
excessive freight rates. And this is
also true of all the other inland cities
west of Denver.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-21

whom the Hermistonians complain,
have had live real estate workers In
this city and they have thoroughly
advertised their tracts. The same is
true Of the Alberta realty companies.
Is it surprising that people of Pen
dieton buy land in Washington or In
Alberta in preference to land in the
west end of this county? They have
simply purchased land in those sec
tions because realty men induced
them to buy. Had the dealers of the
west end used the same vigorous
methods as the outside dealers there
would be far more Pendleton money
than there is invested in lands under
the Umatilla and neighboring pro-
jects. For the present state of affairs
the west end people themselves are
largely to blame.

JUST A TEDDY BEAR.

BY James ]. Montague.
Kick it through the muddy street,
Cuff it here and there,
Trample it meath rushing feet
It's just a Teddy Bear.
Judges wipe their feet on 1t,
Brokers tweak its ears;
Railroad magnates pass it by
With sardonic sneers.
Archibald grins to see it lie
On the garbage pile;
John D. casts his eye on 1t
With placid smile.
Ever see a crowd Of boys
Lately terrified
By watchdog gather round
When the dog was tied?
Poke 1t with sharp ends Of sticks,
Yell and howl and screech,
All Of them quite well assured
They were out Of reach?
Tease the ragged little brute,
Punch 1t, pull its hair;
Let each trust join in pursuit.
It's just Teddy Bear.
