of havoc and heroism as the
most talked of spectacle in re
cent years will be unfolded be
fore you.

WELL-TO-DO OPPOSE
EDUCATION
D. E. Wiedman of Bellingham,,
president of the Inland Empire j
Education Association, declar
'd before the institute at Spo
kane the the “small minority
continually block educational
progress.”
“Who is making the outcry
against the public school? Who
Ss it that wails at the tax? It is
not the laborer, living in a rent
ed home on a small wage. It is
"he small but active and power
ful minority of the well-to-do
that feel that ducation above
the line of illiteracy is the pre
cious gift of a favored few.”
The 1923 financial statement
of the Ford Motor Company, fil

missioner of corporations, shows
a profit and loss surplus of $582,
829,563 as of December 31 last,
as compared with ..654,851,061
for the year 1927.
Not so bad for the much joked
