FAVOR ULLAGE BILL
_ I
Commercial Clubs, Unions/
Parent-Teachers and Legion
Endorse Tax
Tlie campaign for the passage of
tlie millage bill has reached a point
where the measure has a fifty-fifty
chance. This is the way Dean Eric
W. Allen, of the University school
of Journalism, sums up the situa
tion. Mr. Allen was in Portland
during tlie latter part of last week
and took the opportunity to visit the
state campaign headquarters.
The educational campaign through
out tlie state is meeting with suc
cess, lie says in spreading the facts
about the institutions. Many per
sons are being reached who knew
nothing of the hill, or did not real
ize the need of such a measure. The
work of the students seems to be
having considerable effect.
One hundred and twenty-five orga
nisations throughout the state had
gone on record as favoring the mill
age bill by last Friday. By tlie pres
ent time, Mr. Allen believes, anotli
er fifty can he added to the list.
Business Men Favor Bill.
Thirty-eight business organizations
and commercial clubs have endorsed
the measure. Beside the organiza
tions in the various cities, the Ore
gon Retail Merchants association
and state Taxpayer league are in
cluded in this number. The Ore
gon State Chamber of Commerce lias
included the bill in the referendum
sent to its various affiliated organi
zations to determine the sentiment
throughout the state.
Ten labor unions have gone on
record as favoring the bill. Nine
American legion posts in the state
have taken favorable action. Sixteen
granges and farm organizations can
be numbered among the supporters
of the bill.
Parent-Teachers Go on Record.
Twenty educational associations
have offered their support to the bill.
Of this number thirteen are paruut
teachers associations. Twenty-two
women’s club have taken similar ac
tion, and ten miscellaneous organi
zations. including the State revel
ers' Protective Association are on
record as favoring it.
The list ns yet is not inclusive
of all organizations who favor the
bill. Numerous bodies in the state
have not been heard from, and in
some cases organizations have been
found to take favorable action on
the question without solicitation.

FINISHES SECOND IN ONEMILE
RELAY RACE. I
O. A. C. Wins Meat With 20 Points.
Washington Gets 14, Idaho
has 8, Montana 4.
Finishing second in the one mile
relay race at Seattle Saturday and
fourth in the two-mile relay. Ore
gon's track men showed their lack
-
of practice for the opening of the
track season, 'but under the difficul
ties which the Varsity has been up
against the showing was good. O.
A. C. won the relay carnival, walk
ing away with 2 0 ponts, Washing
ton won sec'ond honors with 14
points, Idaho scbred 8 points, and
Oregon and Montana tied with 4
each.
“We were not in condition,” Hay
ward said on his return from the
Sound city, “but our boys did fully
as well as I expected. The Aggies
were the only team tTiat showed
themselves to be in any shape at
all, and from all indications I would
say they are In the pink of condi
tion.”
Oregon nosed out a second in the
mile relay race, due mostly to the
work of "Hank” Poster who passed
the Washington runner on the home
stretch. “Dick” Sunderleaf, “Stan”
Anderson, “Hank” Foster and Leith
Abbott made up the team in the
mile, each running 440 yards. In the
two mile relay, Sloan, Wooding,
Walkley, and Akers made up the
team, each running 880 yards. Cos
griff was the only other man who
made up the squad.
Fun Course Installed at Oberlin.
A sense of humor course which
will be compulsory for sophomores is
to be added to the curriculum at
Oberlin College, because the stud
ents there seem to show a surpris
ing lack of humor.
DEAN MORTON BACK
FROM CAMPAIGN TRIP
Eastern Oregon Towns Canvassed
By Intructor in Interests of
Millage Bill.
Dean D. Walter Morton has re
turned to the campus after a trip
through eastern Oregon where he
spoke in the interests of the Millage
Bill. According td Dean Morton the
fate of the bill rests with the accom
plishments of the next three weeks.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the necessity for student cooper
ation and support of the bill.
The Dean reported a great deal of
difficulty in explaining the new
grade system to relatives and friends
of University students. “When they
asked about the marks” said Dean
Morton, “I told them that 4 was
higher than 5, and that 5 is not, a
flunk.”
The following towns were visited
on the trip: Pendelton, Freewater,
Milton, La Grande, Union, Cove, and
Baker.
Before going to the Eastern part
of the state Dean Morten-visited in
Astoria on the same interests.
