DEBATE ON APPROPRIATION IN DEBATE BEFORE FORUM AMEKICAX LEAGUE. MM GRAIN ." rw I '-","," ' JS - -. 1 a Superintendent Ackerman and Eu gene Palmer Set Forth Argu ments For and Against Appro priation for Vnlversity. SALEM, Or., May 10. (Special.) That Immigration- boosters in the State of Washlngtotn are already using Oregon's attitude on the University of Oregon appropriation bill ae an argument for the purpose of diverting homeseekers to their state, was one of the assertions made by Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman this afternoon at a Peo ple's Forum meeting in Grange Hall, when the appropriation bill was up for discussion. Superintendent Ackerman and Eugene Palmer were the principal speakers. The former advocated the adoption of the bill at the June election, the latter ar gued against the measure. Superintendent Ackerman said that Washington appropriated $476,000 for its Agricultural College at Pullman and that when Easterners come to the Coast seeking homes Washington boomers urge them to locate in that state and remind them of the amount of money Washington is spending on its schools, while Oregon Is holding up and may de feat an appropriation of 1125.000 for the State University. In his opinion this ar gument is being used effectively and it will be to the advantage of this state if homeseekers can be told that Oregon has passed the appropriation bill. Arguments for Appropriation. Briefly stated, his arguments in be half of the bill were: That money put Into education is not a tax. but an In vestment; that an education Is valu able, not merely to the man who gets It, but to the entire state, for the edu cated Is more efficient than the un . educated; that the State University, be cause tuition Is free, enables every boy and girl to get a college education if desired; that higher education should be provided at home, for if boys go away to college, we lose the brightest of our young men; that It must be ex pected that the cost of education per capita will be much higher In the uni versity than In the common schools, for the Instructors must be paid higher salaries and can teach a smaller num ber of pupils; that the adoption of this law, providing for a continuous ap propriation, will take the State Uni versity out of politics by making it unnecessary for the institution to come to tile Legislature every two years for an appropriation; that the University is the head , of the educational system of t!;e ;tate and its standtard must be maintained: that wealth does not pro duce education but education produces wealth; that if the education of the people of Oregon could be doubled to day, the wealth of the state would be more than doubled. ICeHHons for Its Defeat. Eugene Palmer, of Linn County, one of the men who circulated the petitions de manding the referendum upon the appro priation bill, followed Superintendent Ackerman. He said by way of Introduc tion that Superintendent Ackerman had made the fairest argument in behalf of the bill he had ever heard. In substance he argued that Oregon Is now paying $1 per capita on the population of the state for higher education; that If New York paid a similar rate its appropriations for higher education would, be $S,000.000 a lear; that this state appropriates not one dollar for the common schools, but all "the state funds that go or common school maintenance are the proceeds of the Irreducible school fund, amounting to J1.57 per child of school age; that many of the country schools are now shutting down for want of funds and many are scarcely able to maintain the four-months' term required by law; that a. portion of this University appropriation should have been devoted to support of high schools: that there are 18 other states that appropriate less for higher education than does Oregon; that Oregon should charge tuition at the State Uni versity, as many other states do; that les than one-tenth of 1 per cent of the people get a direct benefit from the University appropriation; that the Uni versity has never done anything for the state, for the University stood quietly by while the public lands, water powers and timber reserve.? were being gobbled up; that reforms In this direction and taxa tion of franchises originated with vhe Grange and not with the State Univer sity; that the appropriation bill is un wise because the appropriation is not segregated and the money will not re vert to the treasury if not needed. During his address Mr. Palmer was frequently Interrupted by some of the University graduates who were present, and he was somewhat confused thereby. Following his address brief remarks were made by CV. Galloway, Dr. W. Carleton Smith and others. Chit-Chat ol Sporting World BT WILL G. MAC RAE.

Wallace McCamant made a forceful and convincing argument against the pending tax amendment In an address before the People's Forum In the Selllngr-Hlrsch building last night. After explain ing that the amendment proposed the ex emption of dwelling-houses, livestock and manufacturing machinery from taxation, Mr. McCamant insisted that the burden of taxation must then be transferred to the owner of unimproved property In the same Increased proportion s. the aug mented exemptions reduced the aggregate of the taxable property of the state. The speaker insisted that it would be ex tremely inopportune for the voters in June to adopt so radical a change In the as sessment system of the state. The text of the amendment, he contended, was not clear, and If adopted undoubtedly would result in endless litigation before it could be interpreted judicially. H. A. Mosher and a number of others spoke in defense of the amendment. At the beginning of his address Mr. Mc Camant commented on the fact that the present system of assessment and taxa tion was the product of many years of experiment, and any proposed modifica tion of the system should be ordered only after mature deliberation and a thorough discussion of the merits. Where Land Value Lies. "One hundred years ago," said Mr. Mc Camant, "the most desirable land In Ore gon could not have been marketed for 25 cents an acre. What gave the land its value? It was the people who came to the state and converted the acreage into cultivated tracts. The landowner is the man who gives the land its value. The Increment In land values has been given the land by its owner, and the more peo ple there are in the settlement the more value is added to the land, not only to his own property, but that adjoining. The temporary resident adds nothing to the value of land. It is true that the great bulk of property in Oregon is owned by men who paid for it something approach ing the value at which it is held. Every dollar of the money invested in land has been Invested in good faith, with ths idea that the owners were going to be allowed to hold it and that the spirit of the law would not be changed in a man ner unfriendly towards their Interests." Continuing, Mr. McCamant cited spe cific Instances of the injustice that would result from the adoption of-the. amend ment.1" He pointed out the large, lumber mill of the Bridal Veil Lumber Company, on the Columbia River, which, under the amendment, -would be exempt from taxa tion with the exception of the land on which the plant was located, while the Warren salmon cannery, a few miles up the river, would be required to pay taxes on its property. In fact an additional tax burden, by reason of the exemption of the other mills. Another instance was re ferred to in Portland, in which another lumber mill would be exempt from taxa tion on its buildings and machinery, while on an adjoining dock the tools and ma chinery employed by stevedores In load ing end unloading ships in the commerce of this port would be assessed. "But are not tools also exempted by the terms of the amendment?" inquired somebody In the audience. Amendment Is Misleading. "In my opinion they would be assessed," replied Mr. McCamant, referring to the amendment. "That Is a question, how ever. In fact, the terms of the amend ment are misleading, and, if adopted, would result in a great deal of litigation to determine its judicial construction.'"' A further instance of the fallacy of the single-taxers was exposed by Mr. Mc Camant when he referred to the fact that the amendment proposed assessing the cost of education, police and fire protec tion to one class of property, while the other would escape Its share. Unimproved lands, he said, enjoyed a minimum of these advantages, yet the amendment proposed to Increase the burden of taxa tion against this property, which ha de clared was unjust. Aside from the confusion that would certainly result as to the meaning of the amendment, Mr. McCamant predicted that the adoption of the amendment would necessarily reorganize the whole assess ment system of the state. Furthermore, it would nullify the great part of the 1908 assessment of property, which has al ready been made by the Assessors of the various counties, since the measure would become operative this year and affect the assessment on which next year's taxes will be collected. In concluding, Mr. Mc Camant objected seriously to the amend ment, for the sufficient reason that it POLICEMEN WIN BASEBALL GAME FROM DEPARTMENT STORE NINE Contest Is Full of Sensational Plays, and Some Joker Has Fun With Offi cers' Comrades at Headquarters by Sending in Call for Reserves. THE Portland Police Department has organized a baseball team and yes terday morning the guardians of the peace and dignity of the city played a game with the balltossers representing Olds, Wortman & King, which resulted In a glorious victory for the minions of the law, who succeeded in filing 14 runs at the proper place, while the best the department-store talent could annex was the unlucky numeral 13. Some of the cops who made 100 yards In nothing during their "swivel" service "exams." yesterday made that record look like a plugged quarter in a counter feiter's outfit, for they scooted around the sacks like a Dago railroad gang , on its way to a meal. The shining lights of the Police Department made things hum when they got started In the matter of scoring runs and completely routed their erst while chesty opponents, who had ac quired an early lead. The counter-jumpers started off by gleaning seven tallies off "Adonis'" Larry Evans, the police twirler, in the first three innings, and some facetious wag among the 500 spectators hustled to a tele phone and called up Captain Moore to send out his reserves, as about nine policemen were being beaten to death at East Twelfth and Davis streets. Captain Moore was not wise to the ball game end of the business and hastened to the barn to arouse Patrol Driver Gruber. who was engaged in supervising the cuffing of the mules by a number of the city Jug trusties. Before recollecting that a ball fjuae was la srogxess, Gruber had almost THE DOCTOR says "drink beer" to the weak and the convalescent. To those who need strength need a food and a tonic. If it is good for them, isn't it good for you? The virtue of beer does not lie in the alcohol. There is only 7XA per cent, of that. It lies in the malted barley a digested food. And in the hops a tonic and an aid to sleep. It lies, too, in the fact that the drinking of beer flushes the system of waste. So would water, of course, if one drank enough of it. But you don't drink water like beer. When beer is pure there is nothing more healthful. And Schlitz beer is pure. It brings no after-effects, no biliousness. But better go without beer than to drink the wrong beer. That is why the Doctor generally says "Drink Schlitz." Z7 R would thrust the burden of taxation on owners of unimproved land. In defending the amendment, Mr. Mo sher asserted that by allowing the ex emptions proposed the taxes on other property would not be Increased to exceed from one-seventh to one-sixth, while the effect, he declared, would be to encourage the development of the state by Inducing homebulldlng. He argued that owners of unimproved lands should be required either to sell them at reduced values or to build homes and other improvements thereon. CLOSING-OUT SALE.

A messenger was rushed for City Physician Zeigier. Gruber mut tered and spluttered something about baseball by way of explanation and final ly Patrolman John Goltz tumbled and quietly broke the news to Captain Moore and the rest of the men, which restored peace and quiet at police headquarters. The scenes being enacted at the ball game, however, assumed a different aspect, for the minions of the law finally commenced to get into action with their clubs, and were pounding the department store twirler all over the vicinity of the playing grounds, and when the eighth Inning was concluded, the police had enough runs to win. and held their op ponents safe in their half of the ninth.
