THE sefrnade man without schooling who attans great
/ distinction is of cherished American institu-
tons. He is national product that makes justly proud
of America and yet he occurs only in the ratio of six to
million of population.
To one of him there are 978 who have gained
tincton with the aid of college educatons. according
figures compiled by investigator.
This Investigator found that without schooling only 81
but of 5 millions attained distinction
With elementary schooling only 808 out of 100000
attained distinction.
With high school education 245 of two millions at
tanned distinction
With college education 576s out of one million attained
distinction.
While such exemplars Lincoln inspiring to our
national pride, the boy who, like Lincoln, is without
schooling whatever is long shot of 978 to 1 in the
for fame against college boy.
And with high school education has about
chance to fame against nine for a person with college
degree.

The Red Cross annual roll call
ends today with approximately
$500 reported from contributors
of Salem and little over $500
reported from outlying districts.
Due to the fact that many OF
the teachers were away this week
from their schools, large por-

pected that the amount contribute
ed will be three times that now

Portland Must
Make Own Water
Rate Schedule

If the city OF Portland is faced
with the necessity OF revising its
water rates effective January /,
next, as indicated by a letter from
the Portland city council to the
public service commission several
weeks ago, It must work out its
own salvation to the best of its
ability without any help from the
commission.
However, as soon as its docket
permits, the commission is ready
and willing to supervise the task
of revising Portland's schedule OF
water rates, notwithstanding the
fact that the state regulatory
body has no jurisdiction over
municipality owned utilities, pro-
yiding the city assures the COM
mission Of the full cooperation Of
its various departments and will
stand the expense 70 which the
commission might be put in ac-
commodating the municipality in
this contingency.
This. IN short. is the reply Of

ker and the city council this

mission make an Investigation OF

DECISION
ON BUDGET
Law PENDS
Judge Bingham Takes
Case Under Advise
melit After Hearing
Detects Cited

The constitutionality Of the
1891 budget law which has been
creating CONSERVATION In all coun-
ties Of the state, remained unde-
cided this morning after Judge
George Bingham. of the circuit
court, stated that he would take
the mandamus proceedings filed
by ~, e. Kimsey OF road district
co., against Oscar Steelhammer,
county assessor, under advisement
John Carson, district attorney
cited the opinion Of the state at
torney general in which II was
stated that the law In question
applied to road districts.
The impossibility OF the road
districts complying with the law
was forcefully presented by Roy
Shields, attorney for the plaintiff
The reasons for such as noted in
Nh Shields memorandum present
ed to the court are as follows:
I THE leyying board in such a
district consists of all the resident
taxpayers. This board is required
to appoint an equal number OF
qualified. electors and free holders
who, with the tax levying board
constitute the budget committee
1t will be noted that the persons
appointed must be qualified cleo
tors. Necessarily the levyine
board, who are all the qualified
electors in the district, could moi
find any other qualified electors
who they could so appoint on the
budget committee. They could
not appoint themselves for (1)
the statute clearly contemplates
that the appointive members Of
the committee shall be a separate
body who with the mem bers oi
the levying board shall constitute
the budget committed and (2) the
act expressly specifies that nc
elector SO appointed shall be an
officer, agent or employe of any
municipal corporation. Patrolmen
are appointed by the electors, and
it is common knowledge that most
of the road work is done by cleo
tors in the district, and therefore
none of these would be competent
appointees on this committee all
though they are electors"
Mr.. Shields also pointed out
that because of the way the road
tax is expended 1t is impossible to
keep the amounts spent for serv-
ice, material and supplies, and
that there was not method of as
certaining or setting forth the
unit cost for the proceeding years,
and that the law requires the
budget to be filed in the office of
the levying board, and a road dis
trict has no office.
