ECONOMICS STUDENTS
AID TO LEGISLATORS
Single Tax Plans and Initiative and
Referendum Among Work Sent
to Salem.
The subjects in progress of the De
partment of Economics and Sociology
for the aid of the Legislators in the
coming session, have been completed
and will be forwarded to Salem the
early part of next week. Howard
Zimmerman has taken the “Unearned
Increment Tax Laws of England and
Germany,” whose features should of
fer a basis of compromise between the
Single Taxers and those opposed to
the Single Tax in Oregon.
Russel Calkins -hows a plan out
lined to prevent hasty and ill-directed
legislation, which embodies as one of
its main features the suggestion
which the Grange made several years
ago, that the Legislative session
should be made up of two parts the
first for the introduction of bills and
their reference to committees. A re
cess should then be taken of three or
four months for publicity and discus
sions by the public and the commit
tee's. The second session should then
be used to dispose ol the bills which
had been fully considered by the Leg
islature, people and committees.
The Initiative and Referendum in
the various states has been treated
by Harold Warner and Franklin >S.
Allen. The tendency in the direct
legislative systems, illustrated by a
chart, is that legislatures arc being
used to perfect initiative measures,
much as the legislatures now them
selves use their committees to mature
their own projects of legislation. This
chart is six by eight feet, showing
fully the tendencies in the different
states. The drafting is the work of

The distillation is done by a rotary
retort, in which the process is con
tinuous. Other such distillation
plants have always been intermittant,
requiring a charging, removing of
products, and recharging.
Could alcohol be commercially pro
duced in this manner so that it. could
be used as a fuel in internal combos
tion engines, it would almost revo
lutionize the automobile and gas en
gine industry, for gradually the price
of gasoline is soaring higher and
higher, as the demand becomes
greater.
And could these by products of the
saw mill be turned into commercial
products .it would be the means of an
industry which would mean millions
to the Northwest.

PAPERS OF EASTERN
OREGON LAUD SINGERS
Baker, La Grande, and Pendleton Send
Glowing Reports of Varsity
Glee Club.
Among press reports concerning
the impression made by the Oregon
Glee Club during its recent tour
through the state those of the east
ern Oregon papers are especially flat
tering. Among the clippings which
have reached the Emerald are the fol
lowing:
“In the concert given at the Baker
Theatre last night by the University
of Oregon Glee Club, Baker people
had the pleasure of hearing one of
the best entertainments of the year.
One of the best of its kind ever here.
The best concert in U. of O. history.
The club has some exceptional voices.
It is well balanced and in both its
light and heavy numbers shows the
result of expert and consistent train
ing.”
The La Grande Observer:
“La Grandde paid a pretty compli
ment to the U. of O. Glee Club, which
featured T.a Grande students, by fill
ing the Steward Opera House to hear
the two hour program presented by
the student warblers. The program
presented this year by this band of
collegiate bards was far superior on
the whole to the usual glee club at
tempts, and what is more, La Grande
students featured the best of the
stunts.
“On the whole La Grande is very
much pleased with the U. of O. Glee
Club, and especially is it pleased with
the way its quartet of budding cal
cium light artists behaved. The aud-!
ience was the largest that ever wel
comed the U. of O. Glee Club east of
the mountain, and Manager Geary
and Director M. L. Bowman brought
a good galaxy of stars with them to
give value received for money spent.
The program was interwoven in such
a way that it snaps and crackles like
a new dress shirt. The club came,
the members sang and they conquered
and what pleases Arthur M. Geary
immensely, is that after paying ex
penses, they had some $44 left.”
The I’endelton East Oregonian:
“It was a glutted audience that sat
for two hours last evening in the
Oregon Theatre and listened to 25
Rah Rah Boys from the State Uni
versity warble sweetly classy classics
and raggy rags or cut up capers and
do stage stunts of an amusing nature.
The program, as rendered last even
ing, was of a varied nature; for in
stance, if your tastes should happen
to run in classic channels, what more
Could you have .asked than “The
Sword of Ferrara,” or “A Plains
man's Song,” as given by the whole
club with such splendid effects, or
“The Tramp," in the beautiful bari
tone of Kenneth Frazier. Or, if it is
fun you are looking for, you found it
from first to last and plenty in be
tween. Perhaps the biggest scream
was the ventriloquist stunt, with
Messrs. Grady, .lerard, Stannard, and
Fort miller featured. Broadbridge
and Shaver in "A Travesty or Two,"
and a "Parody or Two," were also re
sponsible for a few ripples of mirth.
Shaver’s Swedish d’alect stuff being
particularly fine. \nother duo of
amtiscrs were Bert .lerard and Vernon
Vawter. who took the stage in the
ea’lv part of the program with some
nonsensical effusions, \nother feature
of the program compelling special
mention was “Gall John," with an oh
lieato sung' hv Did Stannard."
