One more year and our present
county court will have so reduced the
present 165,000 Indebtedness so that it
will resemble SO cents. This I a hap
py solution of a problem that a few
years ago looked Impossible. Another
thing must be remembered, that while
we are reducing our debt, the roads
and bridge of the county are not suf
fering. . Never in our history have we
had as many first-class bridges as at
present. Nearly all of the Important
bridges are steel structures that will
last for years and years.
There Is going to be a day of reck
onlng some of these days. The order
will go forth to Inaugurate the free
city tnnll delivery and there will be a
number of houses that are not num
bered. The city officials may get
angry and enforce the city ordinance
which Imposed a fine of a sufficient
amount to pay for the numbers on a
whole block. It Is simple carelessness
on the part of those who have not
compiled with the law.

lwU!cHt Campbell, Who Is In La
Grande Today, Advuiucs Three Sa
lient Itcniiis Why the State Should
Allow tlik University Appropriation
-Poor Man's Proposition, Differ-
rare in Taxes Trilling, and Adver
tising Bod,
The utter absurdity of the action of
certain granges of the state In trying
to forestall.' the state legislature In
making the annual appropriation for
the maintenance of the state universi
ty at Eugene, Is made all the more, so
by three salient arguments that Pres
ident P. L. Campbell advances during
his present tour of eastern Oregon,
and which he has advanced to La
Grande friends of the school while he
I here loony.
' The point are three In number, but
brief and strong, and, It Is peculiar If
the conservative and conscientious
voter can read them and not be con
vlnced of their truthfulness and
weight
A Poor Man's Proposition.
The first of the three Is: "A poor
man' proposition." The tuition Is
free at this school, and In this highly
enlightened age, the father though he
be poor, can see his son stand In the
front rank of learning without the ex.
pendlture of a single cent In tuition
money.
The Difference In Taxation.
The difference In taxation is the
second of his argument and should
squelch all further arguments
against the appropriation. A paltry
2.1 cent for every $1000 of taxation
will be the difference In taxation this
year, If the appropriation carries,
from last year when the money was
not paid. This Is not two and one
tenth per' cent, but 8 and 1-10 cents
more for every $1000 dollar taxation
he has, than before the appropriation
was made. Is that sum worthy of the
contention that the granges through
out the stae are making?
Tlio Advertising.
By bringing the referendum to bear
on this measure, Oregon has gained
widespread and undesirable notoriety.
Every school of Importance In the
country Is looking forward to what the
people of Oregon are going to do In
this crisis. It Is a fact that Oregon has
established a record In history when
It put up to a popular vote the ques
Hon of school appropriation. Higher
education cannot be maintained at
the university without funds, and If
the state kills that appropriation It
will be spread to the world a bit of
news which will neutralize all the
boosting commercial bodies may do.
Without schools for their children,
homeseekera will pass us by.
The president I very confident that
the voters will act wisely In this mat
ter at the June election. He, like the
others who are trying to frustrate the
plan of the granges,' wish, however,
to see the matter killed so effectually
that the state will regain its hold In
educational history without the dan
ger of a future attack upon It.
