Oregon educators are really keeping their fingers crossed until after Tuesday’s election, which may well determine whether or not the state’s schools of higher learning are to continue their vital services in any credible manner. To repeat our appeal of two weeks ago, higher education is out on the limb. Its one dependable source.' of revenue, the millage income, owing to the decline in the value of * real property, has dropped to a figure $1,000 000 less than that of the 1929-1930 biennium. * # # 'J'O make the situation more critical, enroll ment, which fell off momentarily during the depression, has now climbed back to a new high. This very year Oregon’s institu tions of higher education are faced with the problem of educating five per cent more stu dents than in 1929 on budgets so einaneiated as to make it almost an impossibility. Yet on next Tuesday’s ballot is a proposed amendment to the state constitution which would immediately wipe out $350,000 more from the budgets of Oregon’s university, col lege, and normal schools and which in the course of five years could cut them a further $1,000,000 through the progressive reduction of millage it provides.

The financial needs of upper learning are such that, even if its present revenues are preserved, further income in the form of legislative appropria tions will be imperative. In the past few sessions of the legislature at Salem there have frequently been men so short-sighted as to seek in educational re trenchment a remedy for pinched budgets Iu other departments. Leave such men to root iii their darkness and send to the legislature men who can see in the advancement of edu cation the progress of the whole state. Certainly professors in Oregon sellouts of ltijfher learning would not he among the worst paid in the entire nation if Oregon dis tricts would send to the legislature men of such far vision as Earl 11.

TO THE VOTERS OF EUGENE DO YOU KNOW: THAT ALL BENEFITS of municipal ownership in Eu gene are being returned to the water and electric users through reductions in rates? I HAT LOW RATES are the objective for which munic ipal ownership was established in Eugene, and have always been the objective of the Water Board manage ment. The result is that rates in Eugene are now the lowest in Oregon, and among the lowest in the United States. THAT THE POLICY of the Water Board is to pay bpnded debt when due, to earn sinking funds and de preciation requirements, and to operate and make ex tensions on a pay-as-you-go basis, avoiding new debt and heavy interest charges whenever possible. THAT EUGENE is given credit by all for keeping its utility management free of political interference at all times, and in the hands of experienced men? THAT THIS SUCCESS in municipal ownership and management of water and electric utilies in Eugene has been accomplished under the policies of the present Water Board, and their predecessors in office during the past 25 years? THAT AS A RESULT municipal ownership in Eugene is pointed to throughout the country as a model of efficiency and success? NOW 11* ^ 01 AI l R0\ lii w hat has boon accomplished. and if you wish to continue tlie policies that have built up tlfc water and electric properties, reduced the debt, and brought about low rates, THE SUREST WAY TO DO SO IS TO VOTE FOR L.
