AID FOR UNIVERSITY
IS BOURNE'S PLEA
Former Senator Cites Nu
Cites Numerous Reasons
for Supporting Bill.
UNION HELD UNDESIRABLE
Merger of Two State Institutions of
Higher Education Declared Im
practicable as Each Has
Quite Distinctive Field. '
BT JONATHAN BOURNE.
Having: given some thought and study
to the referendum on the university
appropriation bills, I have concluded
that It Is my duty as a citizen of the
state of Oregon to vote "yes" on Nos.
300 and 802 on the ballot for the ratifi
cation of the Legislative enactment
making appropriations of $100,000 and
5.000 for the university.
I am Informed that the stata has ex
pended or Invested thus far In the
State University $858,000 and In the
Agricultural College SI. 378.000. Can
these two Institutions be merged, or Is
the merger desirable? In my opinion,
they cannot be merged, because of
their separate location, resulting In
necessitated separate operation and de
velopment or the elimination of one In
stitution or the other, which is also
highly undesirable. They have separate
and distinct functions, and each along
sound and distinct lines. Each produces
In business returns several times the
amount of the expenditure. Each has a
distinct, desirable and necessary field
for limitless benefit to the state and
Nation.
Each Haa Dlatlnct Field.
While It Is Impossible to submit a
mathematical demonstration as to the
exact amount of money any state
should Invest In university property,
equipment and development, yet the
experiences and action .of other states
are interesting, illuminating and valu
able In studying the subject. Possibly
some states have made excessive and
some states Inadequate appropriations,
but the general average of all must be
indicative of the Importance and value
generally attributed by the people of
the country to fostering, encourage
ment, development and maintenance
of the institutions. To assist me
in the study of the question, I had
this table prepared, showing In con
venient form for comparison Informa
tion regarding the relative expendi
tures for university property and main
tenance in all the states having state
universities:
Information Is Submitted.
Believing that such information may
be of interest or value to other citi
zens who are studying the subject. I
respectfully submit the same herewith
ior sucn publicity as you care to give it

Study of the table shows that Ore
gon is neither the highest nor the
lowest In expenditures under any phase
of the comparisons made, yet it Is far
below the average In each particular,
to wit:
Oregon's Investment per capita is
only 60 per cent of the average.
Oregon's Investment per student la
only 43 per cent of the average.
Oregon's investment per $1000 of as
sessed valuation is only 30 per cent of
the average.
Oregon's annual appropriation per
capita is only 65 per cent of the aver
nge. Oregon's annual appropriation per
student is only 61 per cent of the
average.
Oregon's annual appropriation per
$1000 of assessed valuation is only 85
per cent of the average.
Higher Standard Advised.
Considering the fact that Ore
gon has the greatest undeveloped
resources of any state in the
Union, that it is inviting the best
people of other states and nations to
come here to make homes for them
selves and their families, and that we
desire to provide for our own people as
well as for them the best advantages
modern civilization can afford. It seems
to me that Oregon can wisely establish
the policy of being above, rather than
below, the average in relative expen
ditures for university education.
At a time when we are. assuring all
the world that here is the best place
on earth for them to make their homes,
it would be folly to cripple or hamper
an institution concerning whose stand
ing and efficiency the mose desirable
homeseekers will make inquiry before
deciding their choice.
Northwest Leadership Forecast.
The more I study all conditions ex
isting In this section of the country
the invigorating climate, the almost
unlimited natural resources, the char
acter of our citizenship, and particu
larly the spirit of original thought and
independent action the more firmly I
am convinced of the correctness of an
opinion I have long entertained that
out of the Pacific Northwest will come
the men and women who will take
leadership in the affairs of government.
Industry and social progress In the
United States. To the end that this
desirable result may be hastened, we
should strengthen, rather than weaken,
our State University.
Those citizens who concur in the
logic and wisdom of my conclusions
should vote "Yes" opposite the num
bers 300 and 802 on the ballot at the
election November 5.

WHAT DO THE PEOPLE
KNOW ABOUT THIS LAW?
Difficult Subject of Sterilization Discussed by an Expert for Benefit of
the Public, Wch Is to Vote on the Question Tuesday.
BY GEORGE A. THACHEB.
In reading the denunciations of the
sterilization law to be voted upon Tues
day I am Impressed by the probable
underlying motive, of which the Pro
testants are, of course, unconscious. I
have not heard any calm objections to
the measure, though I have heard such
heated ones as that the measure would
be productive of criminality: that it is
all rot; that it is an infamous measure,
and chat men and women will be rail
roaded to Jail and the asylums by ene
mies to deprive them of the capacity of
leaving descendants.
I don't think very much can be said
for the way In which the law is drawn,
but certainly no one can say truthfully
that the courts will construe it as an
instrument of private revenge, even In
directly, for that would make superin
tendents of asylums and Jails aa well as
the Health Board, mere passive instru
ments. Public officers have a little care
for their reputations, and even disrepu
table physicians do not take grave re
sponsibilities and act arbitrarily with
out strong . motives usually merce
nary. The purpose of the law Is 6lmply to
bar propagation of abnormal. Insane
and feeble-minded parents, whom the
state, under present conditions, has to
confine in Institutions "after they have
committed offenses on innocent per
sons." It seems to me that some of
this overwhelming tenderness for the
supposed desire of the abnormal to
leave progeny (which probably never
exists) might be transferred with profit
to their victims, or to the taxpayer who
may have some desires of his own about
children. The sexually abnormal and
weak-minded seek simply personal
gratification, for it takes a normal per
son to be interested in posterity.
Society must deal kindly with the
present generation of perverts, but why
get Into such a fury of sentiment about
their increasing their kind? There have
been half a dozen "Sadistic" murders In
the Willamette Valley within some two
years, and the perpetrators have never
been caught, and there have doubtless
been others where the victims' bodies
have been destroyed by fire, for these
perverts are the most cunning and clev
er criminals that live. Why not a little
sympathy for the prospective victims
in the next generation, for the Sadistic
murderer of today, if he begets chil
dren, will beget his own kindT
There is another matter in which so.
ciety professes to be interested, whether
hypocritically or not, and that is com
mercial prostitution, which directly dis
seminates diseases that tend to destroy
posterity as well as the participating
individuals. It is safe to say that
about one-half of the women in this
profession are weak-minded, and their
children will be like their mothers, thus
providing recruits for the contamina
tion of the business from which vicious
men and women make big money. If
the supply of feeble-minded women
could be cut off this problem of public
health would be half solved by that
cutting off of the material. It's true
that the majority of good people can't
see any difference between commercial
prostitution and - Irregular relations,
but the distinction is very sharp and
deep, and some day will be recognized.
Two weeks ago I had two requests
to do something about a matron of a
disorderly house whose family I know
to be mentally degenerate and abnor
mal. Two young women, one of them
engaged to be married, had been in
veigled into this woman's place by par
tially false representations. This wo
man and her relatives are a problem.
A sexuallzatlon would not interfere
with their sexual life at all and that Is
the end of life for them but It would
stop the breed with this generation.
Language simply fails to describe what
this family does In Portland in dis
seminating disease and in teaching
boys and girls vicious sex habits. The
Social Hygiene Society is an academic
affair, contrasted with these women,
who day after day for years have per
year. The new officers will assume
charge at the next meeting.
For the first year the auxiliary has
been an Important factor. It conducted
a successful rose show in the Penin
sula Park and a eugenic contest In the
Multnomah Hotel. It held a successful
banquet at the Presbyterian Church of
Kenton last Winter which was largely
attended. It secured several important
improvements in North Portland also.
For the ensuing year It will work for
a park for Kenton and will conduct an
other rose show and eugenio contest.
sonally and as a business taught de
bauchery to the youth of the city. It
is unnecessary to say that their de
scendants are engaged in the same pro
fession, though some of them are too
weak mentally to be active.
When I read a few days ago Colonel
Wood's statement that this steriliza
tion law was an "engine of tyranny
and oppression" and that "it Is rot." it
brought vividly to mind a scene that I
witnessed within a few months in a
miserable hovel, practically without
furniture, where a feeble-minded
mother with her brood of feeble
minded children lived on the earnings
of her prostitute daughter. This moth
er, being feeble-minded, had naturally
mated with a disreputable, but she
admitted that her second child, who
waa the son of herself and her brother.
(Cases of this sort are fairly common
with the feeble-minded as the police,
the District Attorneys and social work
ers know, though it is not regarded as
proper and polite for the public gen
erally to know.) The daughter and
bread-winner In this family is pretty
and physically vigorous and while not
yet 20 years old is a bigamist as well
as a professional prostitute. There Is a
man In McNeil's Island on her account
and two others have served terms In
the penitentiary at Salem for exploit
ing her as a source of income.
To see this feeble-minded mother
with her .three feeble-minded children
standing at the door of their hovel to
see how much the daughter brought
home from her "adventure," as I wit
nessed It. was a rather striking pic
ture, which I shall not be able to for
get. For some reason, talk about
pride of posterity In families of that
sort does not take hold of me. They
can make their mark on society un
doubtedly, as this family la doing, but
it Is a mark of disease, degeneracy and
death, aa well as expense to the com
munity. This daughter -was examined by an
alienist and is reported o be lacking
in judgment and without will power.
She is also very suggestible and as the
physician said, la bound to be the prey
of the first person who attempts to
use her. By the Binet test she is be
tween 9 and 10 years old mentally and
of course must go through life aa a
child, though physically mature.
Here Is the question: It is "rot," as
our eloquent fellow-townsman Bays, to
prevent, by an operation that Is not
serious and not disabling In any de
gree for personal enjoyment, such
mothers and daughters and sons from
propagating the race? Or shall we by
high-flown appeals against tyranny
and unusual punishment permit these
poor creatures, who undoubtedly de
serve our care and sympathy, if not
our love, to be fruitful and multiply?
That Is the question which the voters
of Oregon are to decide at the polls
on Tuesday. Of course, no law is per
fect, and no officers of the law have
perfect knowledge and Judgment, but
the making of law and Its enforcement
are none the less necessary.
I fancy that this law will be defeated
as It ought to be. if there is not a
public sentiment behind It, but really
the public ought to know something
about the situation even If it Is pain
ful and shocking. If the people refuse
to accept the verdict of the Legisla
ture about as important a matter as
this, then the people must dig in the
slums and learn the facts about degen
eracy and sexual perversion and what
they cost society In life and health,
and what they cost In taxes for insane
asylums, jails, homes for the feeble
minded and reformatories. Of course,
if It is seriously believed that genius
and madness and degeneracy are bound
together, then it becomes a question of
values and Mrs. Little and Colonel
Wood and Dr. White and Judges Mun
ly and Bloomfleld are perhaps the best
persons to say what the voters should
do at the pollu.

YOUTH PERPLEXES JUDGE
Lad Attempts to Steal Automobile
From Stark Street.
Juvenile Court officials are at a loss
to know what to do -with Irwin Oliver.
convicted yesterday of attempting to
steal an automobile from Stark street,
in front of the Chamber of Commerce
building. The law passed at the last
session of the Legislature prohibits the
court from sending boys over 16 years
of age to the Oregon State Training
School at Salem, and the court has no
Jurisdiction to commit to the peniten
tiary or the rockpile.
As a result Judge Gatens committed
young Oliver to Fraser Home, where he
will be detained until his father finds
employment for him. in which event
he will probably be paroled and given
another chance to make good. He has
been before the court three times, each
time charged with offenses having to
do with automobiles.
Lawrence Black, aged 11. and Henry
Maul, aged 12, were adjudged lncor
rigibles yesterday by Judge Gatens
and will be sent to the reform school.

MARY SCHWAB FINED $40
Both I. W. W. Agitators Now Are at
Iiiberty in City Again.
Forty dollars' fine, $20 on each of
two counts, was levied on Mary R.
Schwab, Industrial Worker of the
World agitator, yesterday by Municipal
Judge Stevenson. Mrs. Schwab was
convicted Friday by a Jury of business
men, on one charge of disorderly con
duct. When the judge came to pass
sentence, he remembered a previous
conviction and levied a similar amount
for that also. Her fine was paid and
Mrs. Schwab was released.
Both the Schwabs are now out of
jail, Rudolph being recalled from exile
at the rockpile by an order of the Dis

lead a sedentary life. They grow fat, flabby and
lazy. Being brain workers, their minds should
be clear and keen. But they aren't. They grow
sluggish; so do their livers. They get that
clogged-up feeling. What they want is not med

of exercise the kind that makes all the digestive
functions do the work Nature intended they

After a hard struggle against the money of the Employers'
Association, the people, in November, 1910, passed the Employ
ers' Liability Law. This has been tried and has given entire
satisfaction. It requires protection rather than compensation,
and that ia what we want. Under the Compensation Act of
Washington, in seven months, accidents increased from 25 1-3
per cent to 59 5-18 per ceut. (See Oregonian August 17.) The
Washington Commission, however, tries to lay this at the door
of Mr. John Barleycorn, -which is ridiculous.
The lumber interests of this state, who have the "human
butcher shops," opposed the Employers' Liability Law with
large sums of money. In 1911 they raised another "slush"
fund, and went to the Legislature by trainloada to pass a com
pensation act. The labor unions of Portland succeeded in de
feating the bill. Again, at the last Legislature, they raised a
large sum of money, and went in trainloads to the Legislature,
and succeeded in passing the present bill. These efforts were
all made and this bill was passed to defeat the Employers'
Liability Law.
Under the present Compensation Act, a man with both arms
or both legs or both eyos removed, which would be permanent
disability, would receive $25 per morith. Multnomah County
pays at the rate of $26.70 per month to keep paupers. Who
would keep any man with both of his legs off for $25 per
month ?
Again, the Employers' Association Bucceeded in having Harvey
Beekwith appointed a Commissioner. The only thing to recom
mend him was the fact that he was forty years with big express
companies.
The Oregonian of October 25 has an article stating the Indus
trial Insurance Commission of Washington won a victory be
cause it defeated a widow from recovering when her husband
was killed as a result of a rock flying from a blast, striking him
while he was eating his meal at the company's boarding table.
Mr. Beekwith will always have some excuse to keep from paying
the pitiful amounts mentioned in his Compensation Act.
The laboring people do not want this Act.

' Do You Want to Send a "Wireless"
to the Port of Missing Men?
Where's the dear one who strolled away so many years ago? Is a
heart breaking? Is an estate unsettled? You can sail away to the Port
of Missing Men on the wings of the aeroplane The Little Want Ad. It
travels every day, reaches the "exchange tables' of hundreds of news
papers, penetrates distant states and provinces and foreign lands. It is m
fixed habit of the missing who still live to peruse the "personals" of papers
and it is the practice of law to demand that reasonable efforts be made
to locate lost heirs.
Dissipate the cloud of doubt by using a little Want Ad that leads
Bto strange by-paths and reunites scattered families and friends. Maybe
a few repetitions will be needed
but get started now to-day. Next (Saggewtion, for Yoa to Adopt)
