On October 10th the Central La
Dor Council of Portland, representing
as unions with total membership
of $4,000, endorsed the Normal
School measure.
With the president, and every su-
perintendent OF public instructions
in the country clamoring for more
and better schools, it would seem
that we are not giving the younger
generation the proper chance to
make educated men and women out
of themselves II We trim down the
length of school terms. and vote
down the normal schools.
There are two things that the
state Of Oregon must have-good
roads and good schools. Admitting
that there is seldom full measure Of
labor received for money spent II

occasionally there is some none!

titles Of a state. yet it remains fac
that any state must have both pro
per schools and roads to progress
Oregon does not want to take bacl
seat in the matter OF education, an'

Is HOPKINS RIGHT?

There is a man living at Canyon
Vile. south of Roseburg, by the name
of Hopkins. He is a deputy sheriff
serving under Sheriff George Quine
of Douglas county.
Now Canyonville is only a wide
place in a mountain road, but the To-
cation is known far and wide by
bootleggers, while the deputy resid-
ing there has the reputation OF a
"go-getter." Several people who
have endeavored to glide their cars
through Canyonville in the Silly
hours of night have been halted by
a lone man suddenly looming up in
the road ahead of them. The driv-
ers. to a man, declare that they
thought they we're being held up
and most of them speeded up in an
attempt to escape.
But a queer incident Of these hole
ups at Canyonville is the fact tha'
tbose "held up" bad a liberal cargo
op booze in their cars. Yes, quee
that every car held up by Hopkins
had contraband aboard. Taking thl
&c fact-and it is alleged to be
fact-the driver Of every car goini
north has left some money in call
fornia. or else the man with gul
at Canvonyille shows unerring judg

WASTING PUBLIC FUNDS

The measure providing for two
NOR normal schools in OREGON. and
which is to be decided by the voters
on November 5th, is attracting con-
siderable interest as the election ap-
proaches. One of these schools is
to be located at Ashland and the
other at some point in Eastern Ore
gon. Many arguments are being put
forth, both for and against the pro-
position.
Some people take the stand that
there are already enough normal
schools in the state and that the tax
payers should not be burdened at
the present time; they claim that it
is a wastage of public funds. But
those who are advancing this argu-
ment surely do not take a broad view
of the matter Now as to the vast
ing of public funds, let US see where
the wastage Is:
First, the government is wasting
hundreds of thousands OF dollars
each month sending out unnecessary
literature to the press Of the country.
Every newspaper in the United States
daily receives from % to 100 pages
of closely typewriter pages-pos-
sibly from $4,000 to $1,000 words
from the different departments OF
our government, while as a matter
of fact all the information impaired
could better be told in few pages
This all is very expensive, in the way
of printers ink, labor and extra
clerks. Thus there are thousands
of clerks holding positions that arr
unnecessary. And the state of Ore
gon, on lesser scale, is operating oil
like basis. This is only one of tn
instances where there is wastage
Another wastage is where untrain
ed teachers are hired to instruct tn
students. Here is little argumen
by Superintendent of Public Instruc
ton Churchill
Nearly 10000 school children /
Oregon fail each year to advance
the next highest grade. 1t is est
mated that 40 per cent of these, c
5000, fail because Of incompeter
teaching, due to lack of training o
the part of the teachers. AS it cost
$50 per year to re-teach a pupil, tn
loss to the state in money is abot
100000 annually"
President Wilson says:
~ urge that the people continr
to give generous support to the
schools Of all grades and that II
schools adjust themselves as wise
as possible to the new conditions,
the end that no boy or girl sha
have less opportunity for educatit
because Of the war, and that the n
ton may be strengthened as 1t CT
only be through the right educate

Many of the governors ex- pressed disapproval that social affairs on the program had prevented ade- quate discussion during the confer ence of practical matters of state leg islation and administration.
 Commenting on President Wilson's trip, Secretary Lane said;
 T have seen criticism of the presi- dent, and so have you, for going across the water at this time. The spirit which animates him in going is the spirit of this new day It is the spirit of giving your hand to your neighbOr. It is the spirit that would make this war the end of wars.
 'The man who stands as the rep resentative of the foremost democracy of the world goes to Europe, not that he may march down the Champs Ely see, not that he may receive the plaudits of the French multitudes. But he goes to Europe as the cham pion of American ideals because he wants to see that out of this war comes something worth while He would have been derelict, he would have been false to his own conscience and false to our ideas of him if he had not stood in Paris in person as the champion of that principle which we love and those institutions which he hopes to see spread around the world

MUSKEGON, Mich, Dec. 1S.-In- terest in the case of Milo H. Piper, Muskegon insurance man. charged with the murder of Miss Frieda Weichman of Chicago, was suddenly transferred today to Benton Harbor, Mich.
 Mrs. Hilda Carlson Piper, wife of the accused man, today admitted, ac- cording to the Muskegon authorities, that Piper in 1903 married Miss Iva Goodenough at Benton Harbor. be- coming divorced from her five years later Mrs. Piper made this admis- sion following receipt in Muskegon of query from Benton Harbor as to whether Piper had not lived in that city and welded Miss Marion Grey.
 According to information from Ben ton Harbor, Miss Grey conducted a matrimonial bureau there. It is all ieged that Iva GoodenOugh and Marion Grey are the same persons.
 Although the authorities have adopt ed an attitude of reticence because, they assert, publicity in the case hampered their investigation, it be- are conducting a thorough investiga- tion of the Benton Harbor angle and look for early developments.
 The authorities are awaiting the arrival of several persons expected to assist in solving the mystery of Miss Weichman's death. Those looked for include Mrs. W. F. Klinke Of Chicago, aunt of the young woman.

GREAT PROBLENSh DEMAND SERIOUSl
 CONSIDERATION
Financial Resources of Coun-
 try Must Be Rationed Dur ing Transition From War
 to Peace
CBy Review Leased Ylrel

WASHINGTON, Dec Is. A
 new era in American finance Ire
 plete with new and momentOus
 problems demanding no less se-
 rious consideration than those of
 war" is predicted in the Decem-
 Der bulletin of the federal reserve , board, made public today.
 Rationing of the financial resources of the country during the transition period, not widely differing from that required when the nation was at war; aid to foreign governments through the medium of banks, in addition to that which may be required from the American government; prevention of imitation of industry to those lines which may properly be called essen tial," and methods for absorbing of war loans, were some of the sugges- tions made for securing a sound econ omic basis for the future.
 With the termination of the war, the United States in common with the rest of the world is confronted with problems and needs growing out of reconstruction but in the opinion of the board definite limits must be set to the requirements of public financ- ing.
 The liquid capital of the country, D the bulletin continues, may for a long time to come be inadequate to meet the demands of the world and some process of husbanding or ra- tioning it must therefore be applied during reconstruction, just as has been the case during the period of the war The methods will not be the same, but will be closely analogous to those pursued during the war"
 Attention is called to the fact that the federal reserve system is now in an exceptional position for influenc- ing the distribution and use of bank ing credit upon an economic basis"
 Necessity for the reduction of loans on war paper is deak with at length and direct absorption of the govern ment bonds now carried by the banks through extensive popular savings is suggested as a means of creating new current wealth.
 With the return of banks obliga- tions to normal liquidity and as com mercial paper takes the place of notes secured by bonds and certificates of indebtedness now making up a large proportion of the federal reserve sys- tenn assets, the bulletin says, prices will gradually work toward a normal and stable basis. e-
