BRING BLUSH OF SHAME Adverse Vote, Declares E. G. Bailey, "Would Put Back Ten Tears' Work Done in Past Three to Adver tise the State of Oregon. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON", Eugene. Or., May 23. (Special.) Prominent men. In- all parts of the state have gone on record as favorable to the University appropriation bill. Local alumni who have been working for the passage of the bill have asked for expressions of ' opinion from more than 100 of Oregon's leading citizens and without a single exception the replies have been favora ble to the University. Nearly aH of these gentlemen go so far af to say that an adverse vote upon the bi'l would be nothing short. of a public calamity. Space does not permit the use of. the entire list of interviews, but the follow ing are samples of the entire lot: Stephen A. Lowell, Pendleton I would regard an adverse vote upon the pending University appropriation bill as a disas ter from which the state would require years to recover. The commonwealth of this time appears to be upon the eve of a development -now too long delayed. It is seeking capital and population from those sections of the country where en terprise and education obtain, and once let the word go forth that the people of Oregon have deliberately refused to sus tain her chief educational institution and at once the tide of immigration begin ning to move toward us will surely be diverted elsewhere. Dr. David H. Moore, Bishop of the Meth odLst Episcopal Church for Oregon The great state of Oregon cannot use Its public funds to better advantage than enlarging, equipping and endowing the university at Eugene. The $125,000 asked for practically but a slight ad vance is a most reasonable sum. T. B. Wilcox, Portland It is suffi cient to my own mind that the defeat of the University of Oregon appropria tion bill would be detrimental, not only to many of the individuals who desire to avail themselves of the ad vantages of the university, but no state has any better Indicator of the quality of its population than the de gree of excellence shown in iim educa tional institutions, and theimost desir able class of Immigration, which efforts are being made to attract here, cannot be brought to Oregon without surl; in stitutions are liberally maintained. Dr. James Withycombe, director Ore gon Agricultural College Experiment Station Oregon has made one colossal blunder In her educational affairs let us hope that she may not make an other. The paucity of our public school fund is due to poor judgment in the disposal of our school lands. To defeat the university appropriation would be an equally grievous blunder, equally disastrous to the educational interests of our state. Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher. Portland I believe that an adverse vote upon the University of Oregon appropriation bill would be a real calamity to the state. There Is no greater work to be done by the state than to educate properly Its young -men and young women. Better neglect some material things than to neglect the proper de velopment of the mind and the charac ter of the future citizens of Oregon. After a careful personal investigation of the situation-at Eugene, I am most heartily In favor of the appropriation. Personally, I believe everyone that is thoroughly interested in the future of Oregon will vote In favor of the ap propriation. Judge George H. Williams, Portland We ought to have a good university or none at all. If we want a good uni versity, then of course it must have the means to make it good. A poor, Bickly, half-starved institution would be a disgrace to Oregon. C. A. Johns, Baker City In my opin ion, an adverse vote on the University of Oregon appropriation bill would be far-reaching, and a serious blow to the manhood and the public welfare of the state, and I think it is the duty of every good citizen to vote "yes" on this bill. Judge Stephen Jewell, Grants Pass The University of Oregon deserves the loyal support of every voter in Or egon. If the State of Oregon needs a university. It goes without question that the people of Oregon should see that it is one worthy of the position we occupy In the great sisterhood of states. I think that we have arrived at that period in our educational de velopment when it would be suicidal to take a backward step. W. T. Macey, McMlnnvlIle An ad verse vote upon the appropriation for the State University will be absolutely adverse to the development of Oregon J. S. Van Winkle. Albany In mv opinion, the defeat of the University of Oregon appropriation bill would do more to negative our claim to being a progressive state than any other step in public policy now before the people; that in years to come it would be looked upon as a backward step and an act of parsimony absolutely unjus tifiable. Frank E. Smith, of the Goodnough Mercantile & Stock Co.. Elgin In my opinion the defeat of the University of Oregon appropriation would be a step backward. E. C. GHtner, Secretary Portland Chamber of Commerce Considering the many Inquiries we have at this of-, flee as to the educational facilities in the state, and also considering how far West we are, and the consequent feel ing East of the lack of educational fa cilities here. I beg to say that the fail ure to uphold the University of Oregon would be a grave mistake. Fred Muller, Secretary Portland noara or iraae it Is my personal opinion that it would be a calamity if the appropriation for the University of Oregon should fail at the coming elec tion. I can, hardly conceive of the pos sibility of unfavorable action when we consider the growing demand for young men with- such training as will lit them for the wider dutie involved in the expansion and development of commercial, industrial, agricultural and professional activities throughout the state.
