Herter has been named to succeed John Foster Dulles as' Secretary of State. He is the 54th man to fill the post. This quiz tests your knowledge of former Secretaries of State. Four correct answers is a good score. 1.

Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State was more famous for his three unsuccessful campaigns for President, and for his role in the Scopes trial, than for his work as Secretary. Can you name him? A William Jennings Bryan. Bryan was the unsuccessful Democratic Presidential candiate ia 1896, 1900 and 1908.

He served as Secretary of State from 1913 to 1913 and In 1925 successfully argued the state's case In a Tennessee trial of John T. Scopes.

While only two names are mentioned in connection with the "Association ol Taxpayers to Stop Excessive Taxation" these are local citizens of standing and responsibility who are exercising their right of protest. It is safe to assume that olhers are of the same mind though less vocal in expressing themselves. The protest is offered against the tax increase. The assumption sems to be made that this is wrong; but no constructive solution is offered for a scaling down of the budget which will make an increase unnecessary. Next fall there will be about 800 more students to attend school than this year, not counting the numbers added through recent consolidations where the added valuation will care for their Instruction.

This is the equivalent of two more grade schools. The district must hive rooms for them, teachers for them, janitorial service, heat, light, water, supplies. The children are here; their names are on the census rolls; and their number will increase if there is much in-migration. This is fact No. One which we cannot escape.

Instruction costs 62 cents out of the dollar of school expenditures. This is the allotment for teachers' salaries. It is true that the tion of man." 3. John Marshall served as John Adams' Krrtarv nt from 1800 to fBOl. He is better 7v 7 011 known as (a) chief justice of the LC unuea states supreme Court; (b) a leader of the Senate! (c) a general during the War of LWolLr CorHesrgfI1-' Safety President Eisenhower's record of not having had a bill passed over his veto stood up last week in the case of the' measure to deprive the secretary of agriculture of authority to pass on loans made by the administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration.

This is a division of the Department of Agriculture. The move to reduce the authority of the secretary was in defiance of sound administration. It was regarded as an attempt to strike at Secretary Benson who has long been a target of Democrats and farm-bloc Pie-publicans. It failed by four votes. The Eisenhower administration has long been under attack by public power proponents and the popular REA has been used as a vehicle in these attacks.

Though electricity is now available to almost every home, some of them in very isolated places, the REA in a manner characteristic of bureaus has developed expansionist tendencies which the administration has tried to hold down. WheTi the President recommended that REA loans be at the average interest rate of the national debt REA advocates objected strongly, and so far have been able to retain the very favorable rate of around two per cent which hardly seems cricket to the taxpayers. The REA has done a marvellous job in bringing electricity to rural but as it completes the job for which it was created it should keep within proper bounds and not try to expand by means of government subsidy in. below-cost money. Second School Election Besides the regular school district elections scheduled for Monday there will be held at the same time and places election for the Marion County rural school district which embraces all the districts.

One issue will be ratification of the budget for equalization purposes. The total of this budget is $2,833,823 of which amount $1,514,545 requires voter approval. If this is voted down the sum will be raised by the individual districts affected- We recommend a favorable vote. Also two members of the rural schoolboard must be chosen, one in Zone two and one "at large." Candidates in Zone two are A. C.

Spranger of the Bethel district schoolboard east of Salem, and Harry Oldenburg of Jefferson who? has served on school boards in Kci-zer and Jefferson. Both are good men and both have served on the county board. Candidates "at large" are Gardner Knapp of Salem and Raymond P. Lilley, a member of the Pratum district board. In view of Knapp long-time interest in educational matters and his continuing connection with national citizens' groups dealing with education we recommend his re-election.

A fa). Marshall sat as chief justice from 1800 to. 1835, the longest terra of any chief justice. He also served as U.S. commis I on Iter .1 sioner to France and In the House as a Representative from Virginia (1799-1800).

salary schedule will be increased by $360 next year. Some teachers will also receive $180 more because of added experience or qualification with a higher degree. The salary range will run from $4,230 a year to To many people that will seem "too high." But remember, to qualify for the lowest-paid position" a person must have grad Well, here we are in May, again. Or as somebody once said; "Oh, to be with June now that May is here!"

Urges All to Vote On' Monday To the Editor: Friday's Statesman story about the Taxpayer's efforts at organized opposition to the school budget being voted on May 4 stated "Spokesmen refused to allow use of their names The problem of excessive property taxes is personal only to the taxpayer and their names are many in number. It seems of little importance to name the who are working to arouse the heady month.

(Copyright 195. Confreuional Quarterly Inc.) The word May (yam spelled backwards) brings to mind important things.

For the qualifications required "and the long and expensive period of preparation these salaries are not excessive. In the mechanical trades annual incomes range much higher, and during apprenticeship the trainee is paid. While the teaching year does not cover the full 12 months, teachers must live the whole year, and many of them devote part of their vacation time to improve themselves ts teachers.

Americans are calling for higher quality of teaching and in Salem we are getting it. Our schools rank high in performance. If we want to maintain good schools we must pay going wages, whatever they are. Comparative charts show that Salem is midway among the larger Oregon districts in the scale of teachers' wages.

Now that the beards, have Oregonian is waxing nostalgic over those that remain, terming them "truly handsome" with an effect that is "most impressive."

And it still has its moments. Back in the good old days of the split-level caves, girls used to make May baskets and go out and tease the boys. The, boys would then chase the girls around the meadow until something gave.

They called this Maying. Now they call it participating in group projects. And the kid who is good at it gets a B-plus on his report card. But things haven't changed altogether.
