TWO MILL TAX
FOR ELEMENT
SCH00LSNEEOEO

The measure provides for a levy
on the dollar on all OF the taxable
property OF the state for the support
of the public elementary schools,
The tax will be levied for the iirst
time In December 1920. and then
annually thereafter, Each county
will receive from the fund raised by
this tax the exact amount which II
pays into the fund, The money will
then be apportiored among the
school districts OF the county In pro-
portion TO the number Of elementary
teachers employed In the county.
This Tax VIII lncrase school Funds
Only Whrrr Needed
More than forty-two millions of
dollars worth OF property In Oregon
escapes taxation for the elementary
schools excepting what II pays to
make up the county school fund.
The county fund is only one-tourth
OF the amount spent for the public
schools. Seventy per cent OF the
public school funds Is raised by the
special school district tax. This
means that all the property not or
ganixed into school districts does
practically nothing to support the
public schools. Also. all OF the prop
erty included In school districts
which do not levy special school
taxes are doing practically nothing
for the elementary schools The
total valuation OF these two classes
OF property amounts In Oregon to
more than forty-two millions OF dol
lars. The ,wo.mili tax Is to be levied
upon all OF the property OF the state.
when this Il distributed on the
teacher basis, Il will give to the
weak districts fund sufficient to
employ a competent teacher. The
districts which do not need the addi-
tionai funds will simply lower their
special school levies.
sThe I'rc~~ut Law
The only general tax now levied
for the public elementary schools Is
the tar which thr Law requires each
county to levy for q county school
fund. That Is to say. each county Is
required by law to levy for public
purposes a tax amounting to $1,000
for each child OF school age. This is
the only county tax levied for ele-
mentary schools and there Is no
state tar for the public schools. The
only sum coming to the schools from
the state Is the interest OF the ire
ducible school fund which amounts
to about si.s5 per child. The entire
sum produced by the SO per capita
tax amounts to only little more
than one-fourth OF the money re-
CURED by the public schools.
Further. great inequalities exist
In the valuation OF school districts.
There are 500 school districts In Ore
gon which have a valuation Of only
$4,000 or less. There are many
districts whose valuations are so
high than one-tenth OF a mill special
tax will produce sufficient funds for
the year. There are 5Gt districts
which levy only two mills or less.
The two-mill tax will correct the In
equalitIes. The present county fund. |
amounting to SO per child. and the
interest on the irreduclble school
fund. amounting to about s.s5 per
child. will still be apportioned on the
census basis. This plan OF first Civ.
Ing to each district a certain definite
sum such as II will receive from the

New Rent Law Decisions

New rent law decisions have been
handed down in the Appellate Divi-
sion Of the Supreme Court. First
Department. One Of them, which is in
conflict with a decision made previ-
ously in the Appellate Division Of
the Second Department, holds that
although the Legislature had the
right to abolish summary proceed
ings against tenant overstaying a
lease it couldn't at the same time
deprive the landlord Of the alterna-
tive remedy of a suit for ejectment.
But the court also held that land
lord couldn't collect an unreasonable
increase in rental, even though a
tenant had covenanted to pay it.
These two decisions practically
Offset each other. The landlord would
have little inducement to bring
a suit for ejectment against ten
ant refusing to pay an exorbitant in
CREASE IOI Ilc sane OIL )llStdlllIlG Il
new tenant willing to promise to pay
it. The promise is worthless under
the courts ruling. If the new ten
ant repudiated it, as he has the right
to do, the owner, to get rid Of him,
would have to go through another
tedious ejectment process.
The emergency laws to stabilize
occupancy have stoo( many severe
tests in the courts, both state and
Federal. They do not deprive the
landlord Of reasonable return, judi
cially determined. The Court Of
Appeals has yet to pass on them.
But in the light Of the opinions so
far handed down the soundest policy
on the part of tenants and landlords
seems to be not to fight over techni-
calities and accumulate law costs,
but to try to reach a fair and
friendly out-of-court agreement.

Laughter

Wherein We Are Chastised for a
Brutal attach Upon judicial Humor
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You ought to be ashamed of
the indecent exposure Of your ignorance
regarding the true nature of humor in
your editorial to-day entitled Laugh
ter" Humor Is purely a relative state
of mind. 1t may be called excited in
difference or animated boredom. Humor
being a relative state of mind must
always be Judged by its background.
The proceedings in court of law, or
in the Congress in Washington, are so
superlativoly dull that any emotional
disturbance of the dullness passes for
Lunlor Indeed, it is humor in it's place
and surroundings.
The idea of Mrs. Becton's process
Of pickling sprats" may not be at all
funny to your editorial writer, az he
Iculls the same out of a cloying pile of
the worlds best wit and humor as re-
|'hected in the exchanges, but it is
screamingly funny to a tired, bored,
listless crowd in the courtroom. To
them it comes like a bone to a dog or
i crust to starving man, and it Ger
tainly ought not to be disparaged by a
glutton for humor like your rather
blase editorial writer
Take that same editorial writer and
stick him on a hard bench in a dull
courtroom on dull day, and squeeze
him down with the weight of the SOL
emnity of the occasion. and then let in
the least rift of humor and he probably
would split his sides with "laughter," the
sama as all the others.
Any editorial writer who would at
tack courtroom humor or Congrc sional
humor would take candy away from a
child or bread from the hungry, I'd
ought to be ashamed of himself
Mr.. Editor, spare the courtroom Joke
Take it up tenderly; fashioned so slen-
derly. Remember, it is some ones
darling, even if it looks unlovely to you
We ask so little. Spare US that. You've
taken our booze, our beer; spare us our
2.75 puns. The Sabbath is growing
blue. Permit US thin smile in mid
week. Instead of putting the hook on
the funny judges, encourage them with
applause. Water their sprouts Of hu-
|mor with hope and faith. In time they
may grow into trees.

The Man Who Could Be Sultan

Here is former sergeant Of ma
rines, who has been made Sultan of
LANG LANG, little island of the
Philippine group, because he rescued
the late Sultan from a party Of his
comrades during Moro uprising ten
years ago. The grateful potentate
made him his heir, and now this
plain American soldier, machinist
in civil life, has fifteen hundred peo-
pie to rule, if the Bureau Of Insular
Affairs decides that his title is good
and he cares to undertake the Job.
The prospect should be pleasing
to an adventurous spirit. Many be-
sides Sancho Panza have had dreams
Of governing. Nevertheless, this
American heir, substantial citizen
and settled married man, appears to
be rather dubious about the enter
prise. His wife is more dubious still.
Even pearl fisheries and cocoanut
groves may be bought too dearly.
Better fifty years of Europe than
a cycle of Cathay," was the con-
clusion Of Tennyson's young man.

sounds like perfumery, but in fact is
probably bad smell.

Murder in Oregon

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some four years ago the writer
was among the large majority of voters
of the State of Oregon who voted to
abolish brutal and demoralizing capital
punishment Last month he again
voted with still larger majority to
restore capital punishment as lesser
evil
The steady and marked increase Of
murders which followed abolition Of
the death penalty forced the state to
restore it as a plainly necessary meas
ure of self-protection
One murderer confessed freely that
he delayed his crime, at considerable
Inconvenience to his plans, until the
abolition had been put into effect, and
there were corroborative details which
caused his confession to be accepted
as true by those in touch with the case
Such vast majority Of convicted
murderers confess their crimes in the
shadow Of the gallows or before and
the reluctance of juries to convict Of
first degree murder without conclusive
evidence is so strong that the ten
derest-hearted need never fear that
the number of innocent men executed
will ever amount to any fraction of one
per cent of the innocent men whose
lives are saved by fear in the heart
of potential murderers Of death at the
hands of the law. RALPH ROOT.

is no need of making such changes
at this time On the contrary, there
are many reasons for not doing so.
There should be no suspicion that
appointments are made at this late
day to reward any Of the Secre7
tarys apelogists. Still less defen-
sible is the project 20 reward other
defenders of this Administration.
And those among the new ap-
pointees who are not in the cate
CORY Of favorites should be chari-
tably protected against the charge
os receiving their appointments
through personal favoritism.
The next Secretary of the Navy
should be free to select his own as
sistants. Naturally he will not wish
to denote officers recently ap-
pointed by his predecessor. But it
is indefensible TO saddle him with
the policies of this Administration.
There has been "great and solemn
referendum. There should be "a
complete breach with the past" in
naval methods
The President Of the United
States in the interim between No
vember 2 and March would not
assume to name q Cabinet for his
successor. Such action would be un-
seemly and wrong. For the same
reason it is wrong for anybody to
select, at this time, Il naval cabinet
for Mr.. Harding's Secretary of the
Navy.

A Legend

How legend may be perpetuated
is illustrated by reflections in which
The Worlds Work INDUCES this
month when discussing the "back to
Mckinley Interpretation Of Senator
Harding's political success.
The Worlds Work is not a parti-
san publication, and commonly ham
dies political issues in detached
way. Yet it apparently adopts as
one Of the uncontradicted verities of
history the theory that in McKin-
ley's day "the safeguarding Of 'privi-
'ege'" " was regarded cas- one Of the
chief functions of the state. 1t
refers to Mark Hanna as if if were
conceded he bought q nomination and
then an election. 1t speaks with ad-
miration Of the fund of S5,O0O.0OO
raised by Chairman Hays without
getting anything from corporations
and without accepting more than
1000 from any one contributor.
Yet it holds it was abominable for
Hanna to raise half as large a fund
to carry on perhaps the most siren
uous political campaign in the coun-
try's history.
Mckinley did not owe his nominal
tion to money. He was the choice
Of the Republican rank and file. The
losses were against him rather than
for him. The success OF his candi-
dacy came through the defeat of in
trenched local machines which fought
behind favorite sons.
The victory in the election and
the triumph Of the sound money
cause represented in a conspicuous
way a free judgment Of the people.
For months the country was a huge
debating society. Seldom were there
more earnest political interest and a
result less tainted by sinister inhu-
ences than in 1896. The Hanna
legend was an invention of the dis
comfted Bryan and of the cartoon
lists Of the yellow press.
AS to "privilcge," it is enough to
say that the word is vague one
which may mean anything, and thus
means nothing. 1t is campaign
shibboleth which represents an at
tempt to dodge argument and to ap-
peal to prejudice. The Mckinley
policies were open and above
board, and though it is permissible
to any one to challenge their wis
dom there is no excuse for black
guarding the motives Of those who
espoused them. AS President Mr..
Mckinley had the confidence of his
fellow citizens to marked decree.
and his untinnely death was regard
ed as a calamity. It is scarcely pos
sible to cover his grave with dis
| honor.

Our Next Naval Cabinet

Inc Secretary of the Navy has
recently made certain changes in
high naval commands that may in
fiuence the policy of the next Ad-

/. General Lejeune, who COM
manded the marines in France, has
succeeded General Barnett as COM
mandant of the Marine Corps.
2. DR.. Stitt has succeeded DR..

navy.
8. Captain McVay has succeeded
Captain Earle as chief of ord
nance.
4. Pay Director Peoples was NOM
mated to succeed Pay Director Nc
Gowan in supplies and accounts,
but ne has very modestly declined
the appointment on the ground that
there are officers senior to him in
rank who deserve the honor-a COM
mendable act on his part.
s. Rear Admiral Niblack has
been sent to London as naval at
tache. He testified volubly to screen
the Secretary in the investigation
of the conduct of the war.
6. Rear Admiral Strauss is to re.
lievc Admiral Glcaves on the
Asiatic station. He testified before
the Senate to shield the Secretary
or the Navy. He made the amazing
declaration that our fleet in 1917,
without any protecting screen worth
mentioning, could have met a pow
erful feet properly screened! Other
officers declared it would have
been Dangerous" Impossible
Or Criminal"
Ihese changes have been made
one at time-at intervals. Was
this method adopted to avoid criti-
cal attention as to motive or policy?
1T has been rumored in Wasbinp-
ton that other changes are in pros
pcct~-that there may be a new
chief OF operations, and that the
commanders of the Atlantic and Pa

Academy and the Canal Zone, re-

In Defense Of Constantine
} the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of Saturday, De-
cember II, you refer, in ar editorial, to
"Constantine's Perjuries." l respect
fully refer you to the legal definition Of
perjury. King Constantine may have
made misstatements; probably he did.
If you were small cat, with bone
which a bulldog and tiger very much
desired. and the bulldog and the tiger
were standing over you, growing, is IT
rot possible thai. you, the little cat
would bow politely to each and winking
each way, assure both that you would
give each the bone? Would you be
guilty of perjury?
Perjury is swearing falsely in legal
proceeding. A hold-up is not generally
regarded as legal proceeding; hold
up by great nations is no less hold-up
than when an armed man forces a citi-
zen to stand and deliver. Greece is lit
tie nation. Constantine is a Greek by
birth. Frankly. he wanted to be on the
winning side, in order to save himself
and his people. We fought for the Al
lies and with them; we are to-day for
the Allies; why not allow friends to have
that measure os self-determination
which has been granted to those who
bitterly fought against the Allies and
