AIRMAIL POUCH
SERVICE ENJOYED
' If we lived in Canada and were used to this kind of winter
but we don't and aren't. Which accounts for widespread
rage over an inch of new snow. ;
. Senator Strayer, of Baker county, in his plea before the
ways and means committee, said that the Eastern Oregon
Stock Show was not a county fair but a district fair, there
fore more deservinjr of state consideration. Correct. Jt is
more than that. It is the stock show of the greatest stock t
raising area in the state, a vital influence for good on a vital
industry. Its benefits are state-wide because the livestock
business is state-wide.

., On the front page of Sunday's Oregon Journal was n La
Grande item misinterpreted by the head-writer with the re
sulting headline doing an injustice to this city's excellent
water system and supply. It was to the effect that La
Grande was "forced", to use well water for domestic and
business purposes. True, but it failed to convey the informa
tion that our well water is from municipal wells, artesian
water coming from hundreds of feet under the ground and
testing 100 per cent pure. It failed to say that those wells
have a daily flow of three million gallons, sufficient to sup- durin u inS and tedious session

legislation for them should be determined directly by an as- KM,n,ied in 11. u. :n and that
semblatro of bare facts. Anintinriations. now and in the future, enactment of both biiia would c re
us well as legislative policy in education, should be deter
mined by questions of enrollment, of demand for the differ
ent types of courses offered, of existing facilities for meet
ing existing enrollments and existing demands.
. During the last twenty years Oregon has been marked
more for her agricultural and technical development than
ior anything else. It has Itoeu only natural that the demands
of a majority of its young people seeking higher education
should be for the courses available at an agricultural and
technical school. Hut the last few years has seen a change
in that demand which has brought the cultural and profes
sional courses available in the university to the lure. The
rather evenly balanced enrollments of today indicate this
more normal trend.
Student bodies in both schools and in the state normal
schools have increased. SupiHirt for each institiitt.m should
be scheduled accordingly. Facilities need enlaiging in every
case and the rapid increase at the university the last few
years marks it as especially deserving while the readjustment
is taking place. There is no cause for favoritism, no reason
for controversy. Certain facts exist mid xtint plainly to the
policy the legislature should follow. A broad view ami a fine '
spirit of co-operation is essential. Only in that way tan the
tstate tenefit most from its entire educational activities.
