THAT TEN MILLS

Twenty years ago the present
high school building in this district
was constructed. On this years
tax statement we are assessed for
about third of the cost. This is
the reason for the increase in the
tax levy. The situation is one for
which the present school board is
in no way responsible. It is the re-
suit of the commissioners failing
to provide sinking fund over the
past 20 years to meet the payment
Of the bonds when they became
due, as is required by law. The OPP
Grating expense of the school has
had nothing to do with the extra
levy. There is one little grain of
comfort, however-the old build
ing is finally paid for and all the
bonded Indebtedness is cleared up.
Hereafter the school levy will be
at least third less.

something to think about for this

ting the reaction first and admit
that there is a decided slowing up
of interest and sales as the result
of crowding the programs with
sales talks. Radio manufacturers
should sit up and take notice, and
do something about it. Seems to
be that the federal radio commits
sion is permitting radio to be over
commercialized.

and girls of Washington go to
Sunday school, the institution by
which the church aims to instill
moral ideals.
What the state of Washington
needs most is an effective system
of moral education which will make
its boys and girls honest, truth
full, law abiding and public spirit
ed. This can be done and must be
done if the state is not to be mere
ly rich but short lived. It's life de-
ponds upon the character of its
future citizens and character can be
made by education. But the edu-
cation which will make sound char
acter must be different educa-
tion from the present. It must take
as it's first task the training of
the will and not of the intellect
alone. 1t must uphold clear stan
dards of morality and justice; it
must give definite instruction in
the virtues and must win the loyal
ty and devotion of children to
those virtues by means of teach
ers primarily chosen for their
power of moral inspiration. Great
teachers make good citizens, but
the wise state that would be long
lived must give it's teachers a bet
ter curriculum through which TO
work.

BANKERS AND ADVERTISING

It is reported that when merch-
ants and factory heads go borrow
ing money these days, among the
questions asked by the bankers is:
EDO you advertiser" "What
amount have you budgeted for adj
vertising this year," No banker
will advance loan without secur-
ity and every banker knows that
unless a man has going business
he is bad risk. In asking pros
pect, therefore, if he is an adver-
tiser, and to what extent, bank
er is finding out what security
there is for the money that is
loaned. Unless man takes steps
to make known the kind and quail
ity of goods he has to sell, he is
not taking the elementary precau-
ton of securing his business. The
man who does not advertise rests
his business on sand.

MORAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. Stephen B. L. Penrose
Walla Walla

Whether one is a socialist or not
he must agree that the first duty
of state is to insure its own
continuance. The difference be-
tween a state and an individual
is the latter is short lived, he need
only provide for himself and his
immediate family; but the state
must provide for future genera
tons.
A state must therefore do two
things, not one; it must accumu-
late wealth for it's present needs
and it must provide standards of
living for future generations. The
American states have done the
first but they have failed in the
second. They have omitted from
their plan of education, on which
their future depends, all attempts
to bring about those standards of
life and thought which are essen
tial to permanence. They do not
train their boys and girls in hon
esty, truthfulness, respect for prop
erty or respect for law. They do
not inculcate the ideals which
make for good citizenship.
As the American states have
grown richer they have grown
more insecure. Human life has
small value; property rights are
disregarded, crimes of violence go
UNPUBLISHED and gangs are multi
plying on every side, the members
Of which intend to live off the
rich.
The condition of swiftly increas-
ing lawlessness is due to funde-
mental defect in American educa-
tion. AS the state has taken over
education it has deliberately pro-
fessed to leave morals and relig-
ion to the church; that the church
has not succeeded in the moral
education of the younger gener-
alton is shown by the fact that not
more than one-third of the boys

maintain it, seems no more than
right. This road has cost this road
district a large portion of its
share of the county money, to the
detriment of the farm districts.
The state, too, will be able to
maintain the road far better than
the county ever could, with its
limited finances. +

Star Hitter
of Dubuque

The Indianapolis ball club dipped
into the Mississippi Valley League
Monday night and shared an out
fielder toting a batting average OF
.373. He is Phil Winetraub OF
Dubuque, and he bats and throws
left handed. The new Hoosier par
ticipated in SO games in the class D
circuit this year and included among
his hits we're 81 doubles, 6 triples
and 6 home runs.
Winetraub is a stalwart of %
standing 6 feet inch and weighing
ITS pounds. The addition of the
youngster gives the Indians four
outf1elders, the others being Fitz-
gerald, Rosenberg, and Walker.
Johnny Cooney, soGthpaw pitcher
bought from Toledo, also is capable
of covering the pasture.
Moreover the New York Giants
still owe the Indians an outfielder
in the Len Koenecke deal and this
player will be delivered in the
spring, if not sooner, according to
Jack Hendricks, Tribe business
manager and scout. Koenecke was
picked out of the Mississippi Valley
League in 1923, coming up from
Moline.
