THE COMIC PRIMARY AGAIN

Several irredeemably obscure bur-
lesuue candidates for President have
turned up in the Presidential pr:nari-
es of 1920 as those of 1915. In
Oregon the comic spirit of the pri-
nary is amusing itself with nomina-
tons for Vice-P President. We learn
from The Morning Oregonian tha. pc
titions have been filed "for the Vice
nomination of Elwood
Washington, who it is alleged (al-
Mcu%h we cannot conceive upon

whose press agents says of
him that he is a member of the
Adams family that has already giver
two presidents TO this country
Any person who describes himseE
or is described as a descendant OF
George Washington is necessarily
comic. Everybody named Adams is
a member of the Adams, as likewise
of the older Adams family. 1t would
have been more refreshing to the So
ciologiSt or the student of human ma
ture if Samuel Adams of Oregon had
been described as a descendant Of
Sam Adams of Massachusetts, whc
left only female descendants; bu;
perhaps such a REFLECTION is mere carp
ing and bile. The press agent of The
Samuel Adams is less ro-

i. The amendment to Sec. 1742
of the code raising the maximum
local tax allowable for current eX-
pcnscs from eight mills to fifteen
mills Since the high school law al
lows four mill high school levy, any
approved high school district may now
vote, without securing further au-
thoritv from the general assembly, a
tax of nineteen mills for current sup
rort. The state board of education
urges every high school district to
raise it's levy to at least twelve mills.
Notice appears in this issue of the
Press and Banner of an election to be
held April 20, for the purpose OF
levying of four additional mills for
the current expenses of the city
schools which amount will raise the
total school tax of this district to
twelve mills, just over half the a.
mount now allowable.
We print in another column of this
issue letter received today by the
superintendent of the city schools
from the state high school inspector.
This report of the state high school
Inspector on the general condition OF
the city high school must appeal to
every citizen of Abbeville. With all
the progressiveness going on around
US, the present high standing Of our
city schools, we do not believe it pos
sible that a single vote will be cast a.
gainst the extra four mill levy.

election on the bond issue is close on

buyer for his pig and they went out
to inspect the animal. But when he
looked for the pig he found a puppy.
He then went to look for a buyer for

poor man pays all the taxes. If the
