Two bills affectinjf the candidates' pamphlet are under
cunsideratitin in the legislature. , One, introduced hy Sena
tor JIunter, would abolish' the pamphlet altogether and save
the state from $13,000 to $20,000 a year. The other, intro
duced in , the house,' would eliminate the pamphlet only in
primary elections, thereby cutting much state expense.
Tho Hunter bill is most practical. The pamphlet's existence
results in .the, people of Oregon paying a big share of the
cost of candidates' publicity work. They pay so much a
page, to be sure, but the revenue is not sufficient to cany
tho burden and the state makes up many thousands of dol
lars nf deficit. Politicians, candidates naturally want to see
tho pamphlet retained. Actually it is of no value to the
voter. Junking it will save a worthwhile sum of money.

TIIREK RKASONARLK REQUESTS'
The board, of regents of the state university has
extremely sensible in its recommendations to the Ic
ture. No request is made for a great many of the expansion
needs that are so obvious if'an enrollment of 3000 students
is to lie cared for. They will get along with present class
, loom facilities, will continue under many handicaps for an
other year or so. I!ut they request three things that cannot
well be overlooked and denied by the legislature.
One of these, of primary importance possibly, is the
pension fund that will (with private contributions added to
it) provide for the retirement on partial pay of those faculty
and administration members who have outlived their use
fullness and must give way because of age to younger serv
ants, it is bordering on the disgraceful that Oregon has
not previously provided for retiring aged professors who
have given a life's service to the university and the people of
the .state. Any large business corporation, cold blooded as it
rtifly lie, has a pension provision. The cost to (he state will
1 not lie large and the use of the money will lie in keeping with
the public's wish. More than that, the existence of a pension
fund will help Oiegon secure the better class of faculty talent
in building a greater university.
The two other requests are for a new library and an in
firmary. At the university now the infirmary facilities total
thirteen liods for three thousand students, a serious indict
ment on the health care given our young people. The pres
ent library equipment was provided when less than four
hundred students were enrolled and it is expected to care for
the needs of eight times as many now. The library, as any
student of the institution knows, is the heart of the univer
sity. To be denied its use because of overcrowding is little
short of criminal destruction of opportunity. At Eugene the
students have to stand in line for a chance to study at the
library. The state's self resHct demands bettor facilities
than that. Other obvious needs can wait, but certainly tht-oe
requests of the regents are deserving unanimous approval.
