All righta of re-publication of apodal
dispatches here also are reserved.
Take the Loan, Buddies!
So practical is the advice offered by
the editor of the Pendleton Tribune to
his fellow ex-service men, that we
take this opportunity of reprinting the
editorial in question for the benefit of
the local service men, who will receive
aid through the soldier's bonus bill,
recently voted on hy the people of
' Oregon. The editorint follows:
(Word from the state aid commission
promising application blanks in the
hands of service men within a month
has hastened consideration of what
feature of the Immius law to take ad
vantage of, and sentiment in favor of
the cash bonus seems to be on the in
crease. This is a sad mistake and one which
beneficiaries of the act will always
rogret if they pass up the Superior
advantages of the loan over the cash.
The reason for this growing' tendency
is the service man's prejudice against
red tape and delay and the necessity
. of filling out accurate and detailed ap
plication blanks, of having property
uppraised in short, he does not want a fact to bo reckoned with,
lives. So have thoiw with -whom they
come in contact in their undergrad
uate days, which may account for the
crop of weird economic and social the-
ories which our higher institutions of
learning sometimes produce. It wen'i.
hurt college mji at all to work for
a couple of months with men who.-e
points of view differ widely from
thoBe to which they are accustomed.
The real function of the university
is to teach one to live with his neigh
bors in this world as pleasantly and
usefully as possible. The college bjy
who spends his summer in a fo'castle,
perhaps under a bucko mat-.', should
know more about his world and the
people in it by fall.

to be bothered
But it was on the avowed supposi
tion on the part of the American Le
gion that as least 75 per cent of the
service men would take the loan, that
the bonus bill received such a huge
'favorable vote June 7, and the boys
should not shirk, now that the bill has
passed. It would work hardships on
the state financially and amount to
taking a considerable loss'in each in
dividual case, to say nothiiur of the
splendid chance to develop Oregon
It is rather surprising to learn from
a report of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United Stales that apartment
houses are increasing faster in cities
under 100,000 population than in larg
er cities. It seems clear that the
adoption of "multi-family dwellings"
has not the same economic necessity
in smaller communities. There is not
the same argument of limited space
and prohibitive rent for Bingle houses.
There is the same sort of economic
pressure, to be sure, but it is not so
great.
Perhaps a good dear of this apart
ment house development in small cit
ies is due to emulation of the metro,
politan centers. Little cities arc big
ones only too much, in matters where
they might better follow their own
natural lines of development..
The superficial ccnclusion from this
report might bo that the American
people are to - become a nation of
apartment-house dwellers. This is
not necessarily true. If families are
subject to such a centralising force,
lured hy the comparative chenpi.es
nnd case of housekeeping in fl.-ls,
there arc also decentralizing forces
in operation. Hetter transportation
is taking people out into the suburhs,
and modern household machinery and
improved facilities of many kinds are
tending to give the private house all
the comforts and conveniences of t'a
luxurious apartment house, with fur
greater privacy, hcalthfulness and all
round satisfaction.
The reaction from communal life is
les.-
than the material improvement- that
arc making individual homes ni.iri
inviting and attainable. There ni.'.y
be a good deal of phophecy in Kin
ling's story, "As Easy as A. B. C."
That tale foreshadows a time when
crowds will be viewed with horrot,
and "invasion of privacy" will be an
unpardonable offense. Every family
will live by itself, protected from in
trustion by the most elaborate elec
trical safeguards, and will still, by thj
progress of scientific discovery, lie

In an ancient Hnh.vlnn province
there have been discovered records on
clay tablets belongic? to the period

woman's "college" or "university" had

had equal rights with men In enmmes

this alone is sufficient mgumei't to
pass up the hoc of lea-f reMs'alue and
