To the Editer: Ii mifr seem gratuitous to be try inj; to supplement your excellent edi torial ot last evening on the Mlllage Tax bill In support of the Stale Uni versity and Agricultural college. But the friends of edntallbn throughout the sUEe are anxious that the peo ple of Jackson count' should not, through lack of information or awakened Interest, fall, as regards this measure, of tallying up to their full record of general progresslve ness. Your statement that the mlli age tax means no Increase of finan cial burdens for the tax payer is precisely In accordance with the facts. The sole gain to the institu tions will be In aa ability to lay stable lines of policy, and in escape from being tossed every two years into the legislature arena, and made the victims ot partisan schemes and local quarrels and logrollings. The statement In the negative argument in" the Voters' Pamphlet, that more money will bo required of the pub lic, is not accurate. The point, however, in which I should like to reinforce your edltor lat is the one that our lamented friend. Kerby S. Miller, so insisted upon; namely, that hero is afforded the people ot Oregon an opportunity to settle the problems ot higher edu cation In Ihe' state, not merely con veniently or temporarily, bHt on lasting and rationally large lines. The bill provides for one board to govern both the mala higher insti tutions, and there is nothing- to pre clude a later bringing of the state normal school under the same uni fied control. Governor AVest has given personal guarantco that he will appoint a board of fit and Btrong m6n. Such a board can take up and solvo all the" questions ot division of work, duplications of courses, economy ot management, or even of ultimate consolidation, if such should seem tb(s wise ,and necessary thing, in a spirit superior to mere local faction, or the pull and tug of the ambitions of the several Institu tions. It furthermore, the board will, as our friend Mr. Miller urged, engage as secretary, or In some other capacity, an experl who will represent, not orto institution, or one set of educational interests, but the educational good of the state gen erally, 'and who, keeping in touch with educational movement, through out the country, and indeed, the world, can furnish this board accu rate and organized data, there Is no reason why its procedure should not be scientifically progressive and statesmanlike, as well as merely right minded and open minded. The actual shaping of this particular phase ot the matter is of course, a subject for discussion, but tbo pos sibilities in It ought to help make clear that in this snlllago bill the peoplo ot Oregon have before them a clance,'BOt only for peace and econ omy lu their higher, educational af fairs, but also of an open door to higher educational futures worthy -of in ambitious", cburagcous, ultra democratic coramonwpalth. 1 Very ftruly yours, OE.ORqB JtEBEC.

THE initiative freight rate bill, No. 358, vote ,ves, on the ballot is a non-partisan, people's measure. It is in the interest of the 'producer, the manufacture!, the con sumer, and fair to the. carrier. The principle and method or rate milking provided by the bill is endorsed by the interstate commerce commis sion, ihe foremost expert rate making tribunal of the world. The enactment and enforcement of the bill will stimu late all industrial and commercial development in Oregon, reduce the price of transportation to the consumer, who ultimately pavs all freight bills. The bill will not cancel a single commodity rate which is less than the rates fixed by the bill. It docs not take any authority from the railroad commission in the making of minimum rates, nor docs it open a way for the railroads to advance special or commodity rates, or any class rates. The need of passing and enforcing the provisions of this bill are. seen in the following conditions and reasens: Only 5 cents of every dollar spent, by the Oregon con sumer for manufactured commodities is for Oregon made goods. 93 cents of every dollar so spent goes out of the state for goods manufactured in other states. Under this system which is caused by the piescnt freight tariffs the wealth of the state is being needlessly depleted. Under the stimulus of manufacturing Illinois in creased in the 1910 decade over S00,000 inhabitants which is practically 200,000 more than the entire population of Oregon. Illinois towns under 10,000 inhabitants manu facture $Jt to $1 manufactured for the whole state of Oregon. 50 cents will buy 500 miles of first class freight trans portation under the Illinois rate schedule, and only 100 miles under the Oregon rate schedule. The Oregon dollar is' worth only 20 cents as compared, with the Illinois dollar. The. leading railroads of Illinois earn about $3,000 net per mile Of road; Nebraska roads earn about $1,500 net per mile, while some of the Oregon roads earn $0,000 net per mile of road. Prom 1906 to 1.910 the O. R. & N. company paid $109 per share on stock of par value of $100, returning to the stockholder the full value of the stock and $9 to boot per share. In 1908 this road paid 79 per cent on its stock. In 1910 it paid 15 per cent oil its Common stock and 17 per feent on its preferred stock. The Southern Pacific company is capitalized at over 506 millions of dollars. Its only tangible property is 11. S miles of railroad in California worth jirobably less than $250,000, Its earning right is on the 11. S miles of road, or about $12,000 yearly. And yet this company is paying dividends yearly in excess of $17,000,000, and together with interest on its bonds, about $21,000,000 yearly. JDvery dollar so paid in excess of its earning rights on the 11.8 miles of toad is filched from the people, therefore robbery. The people arc the power. It is for you ib say whether you will longer tolerate these conditions. A vote yes for the initiative freight bill is a vote for better transportation charges aud the upbuilding and blessiug to the whole state of Oregon. The bill does not favor any one; it does not discriminate against anjr one. This is a state measure and cannot affect interstate business. LAKE ERIE $101 WATERTOWN, X. Y., Oct. 18.
