A Question of rights"

The men who voted against tabng the proposal of Senator
Gore and Congressman McILmore TO Americans off
armed bcIlgerent ships have been branded traitors.
But these men forgot party lines forgot their political
safety 10 consider the safety OF 1000000 Americans who have
right TO peace The president had said that if American
who Travelled armed ship killed The country might
be plunged into question of stand by the prcsi

BY parliamentary trick, vote prevented upon the
real feeling Of Congress warning Americans off such ships
Any man with common will deny that Americans
have right TO such ships when their president declares
they endanger the country by doing Under such cond
tons, fright becomes a crime.

Linn County Grangers
Oppose U'Ren's Tax Plan

Albany, Or, Nov. 2.-Though W. S.
U'Ren, of Portland, appeared and de-
Tended his measure, Grand Prairie
grange No. 10, situated near Albany,
has adopted strong resolution oppos-
ing the "full rental value land tax
and homeseekers loan fund amend
ment.'
The resolution opposing this measure
was passed at meeting last night,
which was supplementary to discus
sion of the measure at an open meet
ing of the grange last Saturday after
noon. This meeting was attended by
a large number of farmers residing in
the vicinity of the grange hall, three
miles southeast of this city, and Oh
that occasion Mr.. U'Ren spoke in be
half of the measure. Alfred c. Schmidt
Of this city, and other speakers opposed
it. When Mr.. U 'Ren finished speaking
ne asked il there were any questions
and a number were asked.
The resolution not only pointed out
that the measure was ''vicious and
highly detrimental to the welfare of
all rural pursuits, but contained a
statement that the measure was framed
with the intent to deceive the voters
as to its import. Mr.. U'Ren opposed
that statement in the resolution and
its authors then consented to amend It
on the ground that they had no evil
denee to show the intent back of the
matter, but maintained that it was
framed in such a way as to deceive.

Point Out Difference
Between Bills On Ballot

Finding that the single tax bill
is being confused in many quarters with
the state rural credits measure, j. ID.
Brown, president of the Farmers Union
and Hector MACPHERSON of Corvallis,
are trying to reach voters in every part
of Oregon and show them the difference
between the two measures. Both men
have worken hard to secure the passage
of the rural credits bill.
The single tax bill, called on the bal
lot the "Full Rental Value Land Tax
and Homemakers Loan Fund Amend.
ment' is the first initiative measure
while the "Rural Credits Amendment -
its plain name on the ballot, is the sew
enth on the initiative list.
President Brown has issued a state
ment asking the farmers and all others
interested in agricultural development
to discriminate between these two meas.
ures.
Hector MACPHERSON reports that when
the single tax bill petitions were signed
lit then being generally known as the
peoples land and loan bill" Many
persons of whom he has knowledge
signed the petition under the impression
they were forwarding the interest of
rural credits. Lane, Douglas, Jose phine,
Yamhill, sherman, Union and Baker
counties were the counties in which he
has found the most misunderstanding
as to the actual purposes of the bill.

COST FOR
EACH PUPIL AT S56.12
Superintendent Smith Cuts
Boards Figures
$l2,524.65

In the statement of w. NJ. Smith,
county school superintendent. to school
district No. "a in the matter of the
high school tuition fund, he eliminates
$ls,524.65 which was included in the
total cost of education as sent in by-
the school clerks report. This sum
includes $l,529.s4 for repairs, $i,eO4.36
as depreciation of building and equip
ment at the. rate Of q per cent, and
S6,190.45 us interest on the investment.
These the county superintendent disal-
lowed alleging they do not come under
the cost of education. This cost the
district figures, basing on daily at
tendance, as $7l.13.
However, Superintendent Smith
figures the annual cost of educating
each pupil is $56l2. Divide this by
$50. the number of days in the school
year, and it brings the cost per day of
the pupils to .31l7 cent, which equals
the cost of nonresident Marion county
pupils. On this basis the district will
receive only $4S,494,ll instead of the
$5S,0lS.7G asked for Multiplying
,3ll7 cent by 1910, the total num-
Der of days attendance, gives the
sum due the Salem High school for
nonresident Marion county pupils as
-5,956.5S. Seventy-five percent of the
total sum, or $4,461.44, is the amount
of the warrant drawn for the district,
and 25 per cent is yet TO be paid
when sufficient taxes are turned over
to the treasurer for this fund.
AT recent meeting of the school
board it was decided to institute a
friendly suit to determine what con
stitutcd the "cost of education" as
the school board believed that repairs,
depreciation, and interest. on invest
ment should be included as in other
businesses.

Now that the excitement or rapid
changing prices has died down, there
us no changes in the wholesale market
today. Wheat is weakening but as there
is no telling what will happen within
"a few days, there has been but very
little local buying Anyhow, the slight
decline in wheat has prevented for the
present any advance in flour. The Port
land millers were getting ready. to tack
on 20 cents barrel but the market was
off several points and is still off and
the advance did not materialize.
