A DUTY TO OREGON.

No well-informed person supposes
for a moment that the full rental
value land tax amendment that will
be on the Oregon ballot this fall
will be approved by the voters. Its
chief purpose is to take the land of
Oregon away from those who own it
now and give it to others, and the
people of this state have no desire
to Mexicanize themselves in this
way. Tie amendment will be de-
feated, of course.
But It Is not enough merely to
defeat 1t. In order to preserve the
good name of Oregon and assure
better business conditions and great
er development in the future, 1t
must be showed under so deeply as
to leave no doubt of the attitude OF
the people OF this state on such
freak measures. Prospective invest
ors and homeseekers must be as.
sured that they can come TO Oregon
without danger of having their in.
vestments confiscated.
Those of US who live here know
that there is no prospect of confisca-
tory legislation like this being en-
acted. There have been radically
dangerous measures on the ballot at
every election since the Oregon sys-
TEN was adopted and they have been
uniformly swamped by the voters.
But people living elsewhere-am among
them prospective investors in Oregon
do not know this. They see grab
schemes on the ballot and jump to
the conclusion that it is unsafe TO
invest money in Oregon
This is unfortunate, but under our
system of government there is no
way to prevent the appearance OF
wild schemes on the ballot year after
year. All that can be done is TO
snow them under so deeply as to
convince the rest of the world that
sanity and common sense rule in
Oregon and that investments here
are as safe as anywhere else.

Boy Farmers on
Thi1ty-day Trip

Twenty-four boys, the prize boy
farmers Of California, passed through
Ashland Tuesday afternoon, bound
on tour of the United States which
should make them the envy of every
boy. The boys are the winners of
state fair Industrial prizes, and some
Of them broke records with their.
corn, pigs and other farm products.
They will be gone thirty days and
will visit Chicago, New York, New
Orleans and other big eastern cities.
The youths represent the high,
school agricultural clubs of Califor-
mia. This is the third annual tour
of winners, and it is conducted un-
der the supervision of the University
of California and financed by the
individual communities from which
the boys come. Professor B. H.
Crocheron of the university is in
charge of the party, which will be
on the road one month, ending its
tour November Is.

THE GREATEST LABOR LAW IN
THE WORLD.
Chicago Tribune.)

A steady job at good pay is what
the wage Garner must have first. If
he hasn't that all the labor laws, so
called, in the world will do him no
good.
What, in fact, is the greatest labor
law in the statutes?
1t is not an eight-hour law, an
anti-injunction law, even a work
mans compensation law, however de-
sirable any or all of these may be
for the betterment OF labor condi-
tions.
The great labor statute of Amer
1ca is the protective tariff law.

But one-half with the other half

Normal Editorial
Shows New View

That within the next two years the
Ashland normal may become "live'
institution, furnishing educational
advantages for scores OF teachers
who now go to California schools, is
becoming more and more assured
At the recent editorial convention
the editors were given a look into
the normal situation down here as it
really is and Ashland may be assured
of much better support when the is
sue comes up again. A valuable
property is lying idle here and
should be operating. The only ar
gument which Pendleton uses to
overcome the Weston normal argu-
ment is the fact that Weston has not
enough pupils in the public schools
to afford training facilities for the
normal students. This question
could be raised at Ashland, and if
the Pendleton normal is established
the reyiyication of the Ashland nor
NAL will no doubt soon follow.
Those who followed closely the
events which led up to the killing
OF the Ashland normal will remem-
Der the part the Portland oregonian
took in the matter. The following
editorial from the Portland paper
shows how it now stands on the
question, and is indicative of the
view now taken all over the state.
For New Normal School.
"A well-organized and well-sup-
ported movement is under way TO
establish a state normal school at
Pendleton. 1t has the approval of
educators prominent in the service
of the state and of the leaders in
social, welfare and institutional
work in all parts of Oregon.
ut is impossible to deny the force
of the argument for properly trained
teachers in the schools Of the state.
1t has been shown that the equip
ment at Monmouth is quite made
quate to meet the demands upon it;
and it is likewise true enough that
a great area of Oregon is but poorly
served by a single institution. That
is not at all the fault of the Mon
mouth normal, which has proved its
worth. The condition is responsible.
Western Oregon gets 80 per cent of
Monmouth's graduates, while eastern
Oregon gets but per cent.
"A few years ago in Oregon there
was vigorous and successful pro-
test against the normal school com
bine, and it led to abolishment of
them all, with later restoration of a
single school. The basis of attack
on the schools was mainly their po-
litical methods. The educational
machine in Oregon was a powerful
factor in its legislation and politics;
and it had to be broken. 1t was
broken. Now the old method of bar
ter and trade for school appropria-
ton, corrupting and demoralizing
every legislature, is gone, and mill
age tax-each institution having its
own resources and having no embar-
RAISING or entangling alliances with
any other-is provided for the State
University, Agricultural College and
Normal School.
'The old days and the old ways
are gone; and it is up to the people
of Oregon to determine whether they
can and will respond to a genuine
and legitimate demand fer adequate
facilities in the training of teachers.
