cornea far moro serious. There has
been a degree of buoyancy In the
bond market however which gives in
dication that at last Its recessions
have been stopped. i
The announcement of the forming
of a bond buying organization head
ed by J. p. Morgan & Co. hod a stim
ulating effect. But the definite
agreement on a hill which will bal

to restore confidence greatly In the
financial community. It will stop as

25 YEARS OF SERVICE . ,
Last Saturday the Oregon Statu college annual Faculty
Alumni banquet was held in honor of Dr. W. J. Kerr, who has
just completed twenty-five years of service as president of
the college.
Tributes and messages of congratulation have come from
prominent educators throughout the United States. It is
customary, of course, to honor such a man on such an occa
sion, but such occasions are rare, and such men are even
more rare. ,
Only three or four men in the country have ever served
twenty-five years as presidents of land-grant colleges, and railroads, tho action or tho federal

Another remarkable feature of the praise that has been! the banka. it seems inevitable that
"showered upon President Kerr is that all of it, from, what- jiJ cradlt wl" "w out lnU worU,y
ever source it comes, is noticeably spontaneous; sincere, and
enthusiastic.
Citizens of Corvallis, the faculty of the college, present
students, alumni in La Grande and throughout the state,
heads of great eastern educational institutions all join
whole-heartedly in paying him tribute. ?
" A man must possess genuine character and true greatness
in' order to win the love and respect of people in all Walks of
life while at the same time holding upyieldingly to certain
definitely conceived ideals nnd purposes.
, It has often been said that the man who accomplishes
anything in this world is bound to make enemies; but the
enemies of Dr. Kerr are notably scarce, while his friends are
everywhere, and his accomplishments are monumental.
: As one educator stales, "We admire Dr. Kerr for his
outstanding ability, his splendid personality and noble char
acter. He is one of the outstanding college presidents of our
nation. Few men have done as much in developing the
land grant ideal in education and in building a great slate
institution. He is a statesman in education." )
Dr. Kerr's great ideal has been that of service to the state
through the training and guidance of its young people, 'nnd
he has had his heart in his work. His unselfish devotion to
the highest interests of humanity has piled up a debt which
the citizens of Oregon will never be able to repay.
SOME ALSO STUDY f
Satirists of American college life love to play with the
notion of a time when Phi Beta Kappa will displace the foot
ball team in the esteem of the undergraduates and in news
paper headlines. : ,
The second event has not yet come to pass. The press,
because the reading public demands it, still devotes con
siderably more space to athletic contests than it does to
honors in history and economics. But Phi Beta Kappa has
made its way into tho subheads at least. It now leads ath
letic honors among the coveted distinctions which senior
questionnaires are accustomed to list.
This is a Jar cry from the days when Phi Beta Kappa was
scorned of the generally and accepted apologetically by the
recipients. The Phi Beta Kappa man did not escape the
guilty feeling of having served self before he served the
college. Today it seems to be acknowledged that distinction
in scholarship is an excellent way of doing something for
Alma Mater.
This seems to argue a changing intellectual atmosphere in
the college. One reason, no doubt, for the growing popu
larity of Phi Beta Kappa is that the honor has been shown
to be not incompatible with athletic distinction. A football
star who is also the wearer of tho key has ceased to be a
novelty. This may mean that athletes have abandoned their
former disdain for scholastic eminence.
Whatever the reasons, the fact would seem to be estab
lished that A's and B's in class are no longer regarded as
unseemly in a good all-round college man ; the "gentleman's
V lias lost prestige.

Governor Meier's plan for Increas
ing state revenues to meet the lomr
standing $3,000,000 deficit carries with
it a meacturo to reduce the burden
of taxation on real property. It is
embodied in three measures which
are being initiated this week under
i no Oregon Taxpayers Equalization
and Conservation League (which Is
not to be confused with the mirelv
locnl Marlon county league which la
back of tho bill to scramble higher
education.)
r The governor's program Includes:
1. A constitutional amendment to
enable tho control of local taxes and
local debts by general law.
2. A bill, under the constitutional
amendment, to provide for the crea
tion in each county of an official,
non-salaried tax supervising and con
servation board to bo appointed by
i. no governor lor mo purpose 01 exer
cising control.
a. A modification of present Income
tax rates, making a maximum of 8
per cent Ins tend of B on Incomes over
$5,000, nnd changing tho basis of ex
empt! ono In both upper and lower
brackets so as to Increase receipts-.
n our opinion tne enure program
deserves support. Tho local tax con
trol piim Is based on the Indiana plan
but with control localized In the
count Um Instead of at 'Salem there ,
Hhould bo no fear of abusive- inanlpu- j
union.
rho changes in tho Income tax bill i
are In the right direction. At present. I
after charging off bad debt, interest;
payments, donations and the like, the!
taxpayer Is allowed to deduct 91 .50a i
from his Income, If single, $2,500 tfi
married nnd 4400 for each dependent'
uerore tho nuo oi tux is uppuea.
This system permits wide escape from
taxation, under tuo proposed dim
the tax is applied first to the net In

thus determined, tho taxpayer Is per
mitted to take $10. If single, J0 tf
