SESSION III FAVOR OF TMIMENT Classification of Different Sorts of Property Urged as Rational. $400,000 Bond Resolution Passed for Construction of New Pen at Salem. Saturday mornisg the subject of “Uni form Tax Classification as the First step towards Equality and Justice in the Ore gon Tax System” was discussed at the ninth annual commonwealth conference. Papers on the subject were read by A. L. Veazie, a Portland attorney, and Charles V. Galloway, state tax commis sioner. “Unequal distribution of bur dens, and tax evasion are two of the de fects of the present system” as seen by Mr. Veazie and Mr. Galloway. The remedy urged was classification of different sorts of property. “The na tional course to pursue,” Mr. Veazie con cluded “was to reduce the tax rate on all classes of personal property, both tangible and intangible, to a figure that can be collected, and then to enforce the law strictly. The probability is, from reason and from the experience of other states, that thereby the lower rate would j yield a much greater income, and at the same time would come neared to doing justice between classes of property.” The following resolution was passed: Resolved, that this conference hereby goes op record as favoring the uniform Tax' Classification Amendment and the request that its action in this regard be given full publicity. Papers on the subject of development of Oregon's resources were read in the afternoon by A. G. Jackson, of the edu cation department of the national forest service, by Louis L. Sharp, of the chief field division land office, and by George M. Cornwall, editor of the Timberman. j In late sessions of the conference res- j olutions were passed asking the voters of the state to favor the proposed $400, 000 issue of bonds for the construction of a new penitentiary at Salem. A peni tentiary amendment was introduced by A. Thacher. superintendent of rescue work at Portland, who called special at tention to the unsanitary condition of tire inadequate quarters for the prisoners at Salem. A resolution offered by J. P. Hoff, state labor commissioner and unanimously adopted calls upon congress , to take early action to prevent specu- i lain in foodstuffs and thus prevent the I soaring of the cost of living. Receives Degree as Ph. D. at University of California. Thirty-Three Applicants Put Through Two-Hour Oral Examination. Professor J. F. Bovard returned Fri day from Berkeley where he received his degree as Doctor of Philosophy. Pro fessor Bovard says that he has been working for a long time for the degree, but that he never ha:; found time before to take the examination. Most of the ■actual work, he says, was done during his trip east in 1014 and 15. One examination was required of him, but that ijpe examination was oral and lasted for two hours and a half during which time five men stood up in front and asked questions in rapid fire of him and thirty-two others. The professors there were most bind, according to Pro fessor Bovard, and their good will and sympathy made the undertaking less ex hausting than it might have otherwise been. Eleven hundred fifty-eight students graduated from Berkeley this year, and ono hundred seventy-five took their masters degree. Berkeley has settled down to facts in regard to the war situation, and is working on the firm basis of prepara tion. Courses in preparation for the war are entered in its summer school curicul im. These courses include Red Cross nursing, dietetics and economical preparation of the foods, courses in me chanics. and a course in aviation. MANY TEACHERS REGISTER Not Enough Courses to Supply Portland Demand. Registration for the Portland branch of the University Summer school has be gun to come in steadily. Karl Kilpat rick, director of the extension division, spent Saturday, in the city attending to the signing up. He will go again this week. Something in the neighborhood of fifty names are registered out of the several hundred expected. Those show ing most interest are Portland school teachers and those from the country who live in Portland, in Vancouver and par ochial schools and this year’s graduates of high and preparatory institutions. "Tin- chief difficulty willl the summer school is that we cannot get enough courses to supply the demand”, said Pro fessorTJeorge Rebec, this afternon. "The prospects for a large attendance are good. Several applications have been made and a large number of inquiries come in every day. There seems to be a great amount of interest all over the state.” HIGH STANDARD SET BY 01 ACT PLAYS Stage Settings and Make-up in Drama Class Productions Are Praised. “Maker of Dreams,” Directed by Emma Wootton, Rated Equal to Professional Work. (By Rosalind Bates) The four one-act plays presented Sat urday evening in Guild hall by the stu dents in dramatic interpretation were with one exception very fair amateur productions. The exception, a charming fantasy called “The Milker of Dreams” by Down, was distinctly of professional calibre and credit is due both the actors and the director for their finished work. The setting, with its glowing fire, pale pink lights and soft moonlight was per fect in every detail. Emma Wootton is to be congratulated on her choice of electrician and her delightful stage busi ness. The action was never broken by waits for cues and tlw voice of the prompter was for once silent. Rosamund Shaw as Pierette was n vision of fluffy loveliness and her musical voice gave the part the slight touch of pathos that is needed to carry the playlet over. As Tierrot. Helen Guttcry did the best piece of work she has ever done be fore a University audience. Her songs gave one a picture of the fantastical bay actor and her enunciation and clever mannerisms were good enough to recon cile one to seeing a girl play a man’s role. The manufacturer (plnyed by Bob McNary) was the most substantial indi vidual in the piece. He gave the part a half fairy, half human interpretation that went far toward making one believe that the whole delicious talc must have hap pened somewhere. On a whole “The Maker of Dreams” rightly deserved the favored place on the bill. It was a cli max worth waiting for. The first playlet, “The Shadow of the Glen,” by John M. Synge, requires not ing and staging of the most difficult na ture and the students ought to be en couraged for their bravery. Florida Hill gave a consistant, although rather pale rendering of the part of Nora Burke, and Jacob Jacobson made an important role out of the father small part of Michael Dora. Tracy Byers convinced the audience that he would be a scream in the light sort of a comedy part. Dr.G. F. Richardson gave an interesting in terpretation of the Tramp, but the play as a whole is too heavy for amateur pro duction. “The Marriage Proposal” by Anton Tchekov served to lighten the atmos phere and despite the fact that the ac tors came near going through the piece twice, the audience enjoyed it. Ernest Nail as the father was at ease on the stage, his voice was natural and full and his personality held the audience even when he was merely uttering monosyl lables. He bids fair to become one of the best men actors in college. Norman Philips as the suitor looked like a cherub and the audience rightly refused to take him seriously when he announced “I am thirty-five”, but he hud a conception of his part and his nervous awkward ges tures and the unexpected breaks in his voice were well done. The play itself is a trifle too long and the scenes too mon otonous. “The Gaol Gate” by Lady Gregory, the third offering of the bill, is a short tragedy which makes even heavier de mands on the actors than “The Shadow of the Glen”. It is too brief to carry over its point/ The audience just begin to get into the spirit of the people when the curtain falls. As Mary Cahel, the mother of the hnnged man, Beatrice Thurston worked hard to make a young fresh voice sound old and tired. Her makeup was good and except for the girl ish stage bow she walked like an old woman. Joanne Driscoll was adequate as the daughter. Special mention should he given to the make-up nnd costuming of'The Shadow of the Glen.” The Tramp’s clothes looked as if they had really seen service and Daniel’s short trousers deserve a col umn by themselves. The grey cur tains were used in all four playlets and the lighting was made sufficiently varied to produce absolutely different effects. The presentation of class plays should by all means he continued. HELP WANTED.

I Shower Bath Brings Results; Friendly Frosh Got Theirs For Midnight Scrape Midnight, even worse, 1 :S0 a. m. and all was still at Friendly hall. Four be lated frosh stole in through the door and tiptoed upstairs. All was silent in the corridors save the snores of carefree underclassmen or the groans of sleep ing seniors dreaming of their coming ex ams and their unfinished theses. A brilliant thought came to one of the frosh. He imparted It to the others. Four fiendish chuckles profaned the sanctity of the sleeping dorm. The frosh depart ed in different directions. Almost im mediately they returned. Each carried in his hand a tumbler full of cold, cold water. Beginning at the north end of the lower hall the four tiptoed into the first room. Tenderly, carefully, a glass of icy water was emptied on the upturned face of the occupant. Then the frosh hurried into the next room to repeat the performance. They bathed each of five or six men whom they considered deserv ing the shower,, then retired for the night behind a looked door. One of the cul prits took the precaution to set the alarm for an early hour in order that un pleasant meetings at breakfast might be avoided. The clock did not go off. After breakfast a long procession was formed in the hall. The barricade was forced and the guilty frosh siezed. The frosh gazed into the stern features of their captors and trembled. Tears and entreaties were of no avail. The ser pentine wended its way to the millrace. One after another four frosh described graceful arcs in the air and splashed hollowly in the cold millrace. The vic tims were avenged. OUTSIDE STUDENTS TO BE REGISTERED Eric W. Allen, denn of the school of journalism, and Karl Onthank, secretary to President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni versity of Oregon, have consented to take charge of the registration of students of the University who reside outside Lane county and are subject to conscription under the federal act.
