School House Pictures.

The Times. Herald is in receipt
of letter from Miss Farnum,
who was a teacher in the public
last year when the decision was
made to get fund to be devoted
to picture decora tions for the
new building. Miss Farnum was
delegated to select some of these
pictures which have been receiy-
ed and are now in place. Among
those sent by Miss Farnum are,
Sir Galahad" by Watts; ''Strat-
ford on Avon; "St. Anthony of
Padua;" "The Lake" by Carrot;
The Shepherdess" by Lerolle;
"Comora" by Guido Rendi;
"Ronda" Dutch by Cassler;
"The Spy" (Kabyl-Arabian) by
Shreyer; Angel Heads" by Ra-
phael; The Castle of San Ange-

Rabbit Drive Tomorrow.

Several people on Poison Creek
have taken advantage of the Of
fer of the county court in respect
to assisting in getting rid Of the
rabbits and have organized u
club. The corral and wings have
been placed we understand and
the neighbors will gather at l..
b. Culp's place tomorrow morn
ing and drive west from there,
We don't know just where the
corral is located, but those who
desire to participate are to go
to Mr.. Culp's where proper Off
GERS will be chosen and the drive
started. A number who are in
terested will go out from town
no doubt. All who can should
take in this drive as we under
stand the pests are about as thick
as fleas and it will be great
sport.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

The Telegram understands that
school books which are submitted
to pass inspection of the State
Book Commission are now in the
hands of high school teachers
who are making a practical study
of them. This is very good as
far as it goos but it doesn't go
far enough.
Books intended for the lower
grades, which fter all, are yet
Of the greatest Importance,
should be submitted to the grade
teachers for inspection, study
and report. In no other way can
the haphazard method which now
attends the selection of these
books be changed for the better.
Not only should the best availa-
BILE books be selected, with an
eye to the cost also, but the task
of selection should be so co-ordi-
mated that only such books as
are actually needed will ultimate
ly find a place in the list.
There has been a great deal of
waste all over the state in fore
ing parents to buy books that are
rarely or never used. In some
cases, like that Of history, three
different books are used, making
it difficult to assign lessons for
the reason that the same subjects
appear on different pages in the
different books. The whole mat
ter should receive the serious at
tention of the book commission.
If it has the data on hand which
is here suggested it will be in a
position to proceed practically
with its final work some months
hence and be enabled to reach a
result that will be economical and
satisfying to those most concern
ed in the outcome. Telegram.

up to be sold and this will be

eral Government and the state in
the development of Central Ore.
gon has been proposed by the In
terror Department. This branch
of the administration recently
expressed its intention to allott
$50, 900 for investigating in Cen
tral Oregon in connection with
irrigation and water power pro-
iects. providing the state of Ore
gon at the approaching session
of the legislature would appro-
pirate an equal amount, the en-
tire amount to be used in CO.
operative work of development
between the government and the
state.
The development work sug-
gested by the Interior Depart
ment would be in addition to the
various reclamation projects that
are being conducted by the same
agency in the state: 1t would
effect the conversion of n
vast area of unproductive
lands in the interior of t h e
state into tillable and revenue
producing districts and in that
proportion contribute to the sub
stantial prosperity of the entire
state.
Central Oregon presents a vast
field for the plan of development
work and the suggestion of the
government representatives is
expected to find a responsive SEN
timent in the membership of the
State Legislature next winter
that is sure to. make provision for
the states share of the joint
fund.
Heretofore the division of Fed
eral funds for development work
has been largely arbitrary. In a
slang sort of way, the district
that made the most noise has
usually received the greatest
amount of Government assistance
The new plan offers a more
eauable way for disbursing
available Federal funds. The
state that manifests a willing
ness to cooperate with the Gov
ernment in this character of
work, will find the Government
in this character of work, will
find the Government in a mood
to duplicate any appropriation
the state may make for carrying
out the work.

Attorney General
Reverses Himself.

The attorney general Of Ore
gon has looked further into the
proposition as to whether the
county court can give a bounty
on rabbits and has decided it can.
Earlier in the week he wrote
Fred Denstedt that there was no
law for it but under date of Noy.
26 he writes Mr.. Denstead: 81
would say that the county court
is empowered by statute to pay
a bounty of not more than 5 cents
and not less than l cent on black
tailed rabbits.
The county court has recently
asked Deputy District Attorney
for an opinion on the matter and
Mr.. Leonard took the matter up
and looked into the matter pretty
thoroughly with the result that
ne wrote the attorney general
respecting an old law covering
such bounty which he could not
find had been repealed. This
letter evidently brought about a
more thorough investigation by
the attorney general with the re-
suit that he has since advised Mr..
Denstedt that it is lawful.
The Times-Herald urges the
continuance Of drives regardless
of what the court will do. We
should not wait for the court to
pay us but do something for our
selves.

POLITICAL AND PARTISAN DECISION.

The belief that the recent decision of the supreme
court of this state purely partisan and political
is strongly confirmed by reading Kentucky decided
late 1896 in which is held squarely and fairly that
presidential electors state officers, whereas
preme court appears to have gone out of its way to hold
that they were not state officers
The real weakness of the decision made by the Idaho
court and therefore, the real wrongness of it cannot be
understood without remembering that the section OF the
Idaho laws which authorizes nominations by petitions
says that pubc Offices shall be nominated where
legal political organization has been effected the
condition in this case
In order to get around these plain words the court read
into that declaration further declaration which is not
there that this meant in the present case the nomination
of estate officers and then they proceeded to hold that
presidential electors are not estate officers
In going this far, they departed absolutely from a
former decision of the idaho court which decision
concurred in by Justice Sullivan who also concured in
this departing from the idea expressed in the former
In that the court undoubtedly construed the
portion Of the law describing how the petitions should be
signed, as merely defining the boundary of the voting
field, and not limiting the kind of office to be filled

PROGREssIVEs WILL REDUCE HIGH COST OF
LIVING-NO. 1.

No one thing causes the present excessive high cost of
living and thing is going to afford complete rem
edv for the unbearabe evil Many things contribute to
the cause of the burden and many remedies will have to
lem.
The present and past high tariff bills have contributed
largely to bring about this evil and remedy must be
produced far that is responsible, by reduction
in that tariff The Republican party promises no relief
whatever this respect On the contrary, after making
the most solemn promise possible to 40 So and after nav
ing that promise accepted by the people, that party
ceeded to aggravate the situation by still further ncreas-
ing the tariff schedules and thus still further increasing
the burden of living, all to the advantage and for the
benefit of the special interests which control that political
organization.
The Democrats declare that they favor reduction in
the tariff but they propose plan and fail to inform the
people how they propose to do thus leaving the people
in fear lest it be done in such as to upset busl
ness conditions which, through half century or more OF
protective tariff has become less adjusted to
such system and could not survive, without panic,
radical unsystematc slaughter promscuously OF the
schedules.
The Progressves under the leadership of protec-
ZIONIST both theory and practice propose such reduc-
ton will not affect legitimate business, because the
proposal is to make legitimate business show that the
benefits of the tariff do not to the owners and those en-
gagged in the business, but into the pay envelopes OF the
wage earners When such showing cannot be made 1t IS
made or to take away entirely By this method legt
business cannot possibly be harmed and the wage
earners assured of receiving the benefits of the pub
lies expenditure and thus the public itself is given every
assurance both of such reduction should be made
the hand and of the constant and steady employment
of all laborng men engaged In the protected INDUSTRIES
and hence given OF continued and
newed prosperity with such reduction the high cost of
living may be properly brought about through udicous
and fair tariff legislation.
