UNIT PLAN WILL
AFFORD SCHOOL FOR
UNFORTUNATE CHILD
Many Children Compelled to Go
Without Schooling Due to In
efficiency OF Present System
Says Coin.

Much is being said abou, the des!r-
able qualities of the County Unit plan
which will be placed before the yot-
srs of Lincoln county at the coming
state election for their approval or
rejection. There are also few who
ARE opposed to the new system be-
Mgving that it Will work hardshiDs on
"g'tzr tain districts. County School Super.
ERtepdent, Coin, is 100 per cent sup.
porter of the new system and believes
.shat its adoption by the freeholdeTs o.,
thF county will be great boon to the
Nchildren, giving them equal advan-
cages in their effort to ecquire an edu-
cation.
The following is Mr.. Coins version
al the county unit system:
This is what it guarantees, 1st,
equal opportunity for the children, End
equal taxation for the taxpayer. That
Is democracy in is purest form. The
these reasons alone it seems as though
every voter in the county should vote
YES on the County Unit Plan for tax
.aiion and administration.
To-day there are few districts with
the old homemade seats in their
school houses 'tyes, they are better
than the ones l sat in thirty five or
fDcty years ago but they are not as
good as tho pupils should have) and
there are some districts with the very
best seats in their houses and these
seats and houses are not in use and
have not been for several years and
may never be used again or for some
years at least. With the Unit Plan
In operation thesc seats and other fur
Aiture could be put where they will be
used during the time that school is in
session.
There are at present about %
pupils denied schooling, in this county
These parents pay their share of the
school tax, but because they live
across the section line or on the
wrong side Of the river the children
cannot go to school though there lis
IA school house within mile and half
or nearer and in 1t good school
Yor their neighbors children. This
condition should not exist and 1t would
not under this new plan. One mother
wanted to send her child to school in
q nearby district. The school house
In her own district was too far away.
The school board only asked $1,000
per month tuition. In this school
there Is an excellent teacher and she
Mas five small pupils to teach. This
extra pupil would make better
sschoo. for the five, for the best schools
taave more than five in attendance.

SHOW HOW
CANDIDATE PIERCE
LOVES The FARMER
G. o. P. Secretary Shows Facts
How Mr.. Pierce Sold Farms to
Relatives, Who Borrowed
Money nen Sold Them Back

Corvallis, Oct. I5.-For six weeks,
G. o. ingalls,, secretary of the state
republican organization has been With
Walter M. ToCze, Jr., in tour of the
state and at headquarters at Portland
in the effort to get republicanism
moving along at the speed calculated
to insure triumph at the November
election. While N Union county, Mr..
Llngai.s came in contact with certain
information in 'refeIen TO the Demo
cratic candidate. and following this
the facts touching upon Mr.. Pierce's
early activities Imam tally were Sc.
cured from the records. In state
ment mailed from Portland yesterday,
and also presented in detail in the
Oregon Voter this week, these facts
are given by Mr.. ingalls, in his usually
interesting way. Here is what he
says:
(By c. E. INGALLS))
In his speech, at the recent Albany
dinner, given in honor of newspaper
men of Oregon, in Tn effort to inter
est them in the non-partisan candi.
date of the Democratic party, and
which dinner was attended by repre-
sentatives of three country papers
outside of Albany, Mr.. Pierce made
this statement: 81 came to this state
forty years ago when | was a wander.
ing boy. l have been in pubic life
more than half the time and | have
never wilfully deceived anybody" Mr..
Pierce seems still to be wandering"
If Mr.. Pierce's frequent deceptions
have not been deliberate, then they
must have been made through iguor.
ance-as, for instance, his statement
in the Voters Pamphlet to the effect
that the State Taxes for 1922 were
fifteen million dollars. Mr. Pierce
gets this statement from the Blue
Book, as anyo ne can verify but the
Blue Book says that they are "two
year" appropriations instead Of zone
year"
But this is not the only instance of
Mr.. Pierce's deception that is mat
ter of public record.
Candidate Pierce, in his barnstorm-
ing tour over the state or Oregon
fairs and everywhere else where his
fluent flow of ambiguity would b
permitted, has staked everything or
his ability to make the farmers be-
lieve, like Dickens famous character,
that che is their friend, not Ben"
Dramatically, he tears tax receipts in
two, indicating to the uniformed that
that is what he would do with real
taxes-were he elected governor. This
pantomimic procedure would indicate
that he believes his audience is deaf
as well as dumb.
Mr.. Pierce has been weeping cop.
ious tears over the situation of the
farmer for many years without offer
ing any remedy for conditions that
tend to create the difficulty from
which he suffers: but, on the other
hand, he has had moro to do with the
raising and increasing taxes-by his
legislative votes and by the introdeo~
tion of foolish bills-than probably
any other man in Oregon.
Among the things th'. Mr. Pierce
has prated about to farmer audiences,
but fails to mention when talking to
group of business men. is the dif,
