SAY5 VOTE
The following communication was'
received by the Herald from L. L.
Swift, a Baker county boy, who is at
tending the state university:
Next June at the polls Is to be set
tled the question as to whether or not
Oregon Is to have In the future a state
university worthy of the name. At Its
last session the Oregon legislature
passed a bill appropriating (125,000
"for the support and maintenance of
the University f Oregon." A refer
endum was Invoked on the bill, so U
will not become a law until It Is ap
proved by the majority of the vote in
at the regular election on June 1, 1901.
Is $125,000 too large an appropria
tion for the state university? Wash
ington appropriates (600,000 a year
for the maintenance of her state uni
versity; Idaho, $129,160; Colorado,
$515,000; Nevada, $125,000; Calif or
nla$822,14S. Oregon now makes an
appropriation -or 4,ouu, uie nau
um of any state In the union, although
eight states have less population, and
nine have less wealth. Special appro
priations augmented this sum to $80,
000 during the years 1906-06, but this
sum was inadequate for the pressing
needs of the university. Its funds fell
short by $16,000 of meeting the' cur
rent expense's of the past year, which
deficit has been averted only by the
faculty serving three months without
pay. .
Oregon is justly proud of her ele
mentary educational system. She
also has 24 four-year high schools
and a total of 120 institutions devoted
to secondary education. But it must
be remembered that the university Is
a part of the public school educational
system. The states that are support
ing their universities most liberally
are the ones that have the strongest
systems of public schools, as tor ex
ample, California, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. A strong university Is ab.
solutely essential to a strong public
school system, for the university Is
nothing more nor less than the head
of the state's public schools.
If the $125,000 appropriation is not
passed, what will be the result? The
young men and women who wish 'to
fit themselves for proefsslonal life, or
for more efficient leader-whip In busl
ness, will be compelled to go to other
states for their higher education, and
break their ties with Oregon for sev
eral years, perhaps for life. Newcom
ers will look elsewhere for their high
er "education. The middle west and
the east will regard Oregon as a back
ward, uninviting country, and west
ward migration will Invest lta mnnpv
lif other states. Take away the state
university and Oregon will receive a
checking blow not only to education,
but also to Industrial welfare an''
progress, ,
the appropriation aske'i) for id the
lowest possible to meet the urgent de
mands of the university. It Is only
one-fourth, of Washlnrton's annual
appropriation and less than Idaho's.
At the present valuation of the taxa
ble property In this state, it calls for
a tax "of less than-2 5 cents on every
$1000. '- .
The way to settle the questi6h is id
vote "yes" on the first of June to Ihe
measure worded on the ballot thus:
"Shall the appropriation become a
law?"
"Maple I)ay' In Baker.
This city is preparing to observe a
day early in April, which shall be
known as Maple day, and on this date
about 1000 maple trees will be set out
In Baker City. The mutter wsa first
brought up by Prof. J. A. Churchill,
upon his return from the east last fall,
where, he says, splendid work has
been done. He took the matter before
the school board and thev votnH in
purrha 300 trees to be placed In
the grounds of the public school
buildings. Baker City Herald.
