THE MILLAGE TAX
Tho citizens of Malheur county are directly affected by the higher
educational crisis. With more than 80 students now enrolled at O. A. C
is Malheur county going to be content with lower standard of education
to fit her sons and daughters for trained leadership than is now being of
fered at her state institutions? Is a county which is now coming Into its
own going to allow a condition to prevail which will actually make it im
possible to admit scores of ambitious young people who desire to enroll this
fall?
Unless the crisis now confronting the Oregon Agricultural college,
the University of Oregon and the State Normal is met by the assistance
of Malheur county May 21, the present high standard cannot be main
tained. What is more, the doors will be closed to 1000 students in the
fall of 1920 alone, and those admitted will get anything but a satisfactory
education. The millage income of the college and. the university has in
creased but 3.8 per cent since the passage of the millage tax in 1913, while
the number of students has increased 150 per cent. Cost of maintenance
brought about by war conditions and increased enrollment advanced with
leaps and bounds. Class, office and laboratory facilities have become en
tirely inadequate. The crisis is actually here.
Malheur county made an enviable record in going over the top in the
great World War drives. So did the state of Oregon. It has been said
that this showing was the result of the high standard of citizenship brought
about by her school system. One person out of every 150 in the state at
tends the college or the university. Registration for the school year up" to
the close of the winter term was 3378 at the college and 1745 at the univer
sity, or a total of 5123. Desire for technical training has been so great
in fact as to place the college second in point of attendance among the land
grant colleges of the country.
The state schools need more money to meet the advanced costs lor
general maintenance, for new buildings and equipment to take care of in
creased enrollment, and for salaries. More than 150 staff members have
resigned in the last 18 months, or an average of one every 3 1-2 days.
Many who have said they could not afford to teach under existing condi
tions have gone into commercial fields, while a larger number have accept
ed positions in other colleges at a material advance in pay. Some who
have received flattering offers to go elsewhere, however, have remained
throuarh loyalty or because of their interest in their work.
Malheur county citizens who believe that the best crop produced in
the county is, after all, their sons and daughters, and who have their own
welfare at heart together with the best interests of the state will not rail
to vote May 21 for the Higher Educational Tax Act. .

CANDY VS. LIQUOR.
Heavy consumption of candy has followed the enforcement of pro
hibition in Alatka, as it has in all places where liquor is abolished. Ke
cently the Alaska Engineering commission, which has charge of the construc
tion of the eovemment railroad in the far north, advertised for bids in
furnishine 1.000 pounds of caramels and hundreds of boxes of bar candy
and chewing gum, which will be taken north for the men who are working
on the line.
Candy is at the present time classed as a luxury like many other
things that are necessaries to a greater or lesser degree and pays a
stiecial tax in excise duties. Why this is done, is a deDataoie question
and is as hard to answer as why is it that with wool at aDOUt miy cents
a pound raw, or about $1.00 a pound carded and ready to be put in the
t;iQ m.pdinn unrf with anDroximatelv four pounds in a suit of men's
clothine- that suit should cost from $60 to $100.
No better illustration is needed than the above, although there are
many that may be cited to show the inequality of legislation passed under
the stress of war conditions, but now that the war is passea our ibws m
worn made and adoDted for winning the war and our taxation laws es
pecially, should be revised so that taxes will be lightened on some of the
commodities. Candy is only used here as an illustration and the excise
tax thereon may be justifiable, but the taxes we are now paying on many
other articles, especially the necessaries of life, seem to be out of place
in a 'prosperous country and some of them are one of the causes of the
present high cost of living.
