THE SUNDAY OREGOyUN, PORTLAyP, DECEMBER 8, 1913-
STATE UNIVERSITY
CUTS ITS BUDGET
Sum Granted by Last Legisla
ture Cut From $503,000
to $205,000.
BARE NECESSITIES IS PLEA
Badly-Needed Library Mast Wait.
Say Regents In Slicing 3Iore Than
Half in Appropriation Asked
of Lawmakers.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Dec. 7. (Special.) To hold down to
the bare necessities and to Join whole
heartedly In the state-wide movement
for economies in public expenditures
was the decision of the board ot regents
of the State University today when it put
the knife Into the budget passed by
the last Legislature and cut the total
from J503.000 to J205.000.
The university's requests at Salem
are to be confined to the following
items: $100,000 for a new classroom
building; 75.0O0 for repairs and minor
additions; J50.000 a year for two years
for additional maintenance and 116.000
a year for two years for correspond
ence and extension work, a total of
1205.000 for the biennlum.
The procedure favored by the regents
was the submission of these items to
Governor West with the request that
he should lay the university's needs
before the ways and means committee.
Library Mast Walt.
The badly-needed library building
will have to wait for some future time.
In its place it is proposed to epend
only 130.000 which is to be used to at
tain two ends with the same money.
A fireproof shell of brick is planned as
a wing to the present library, which
will preserve the valuable collection of
0.000 volumes belonging to the state
and at the same time will leave more
of the old part of the building for the
students who now frequently have to
stand in line for places to study. The
greater part of the $30,000 It is
planned to expend for fireproof steel
shelves which can be removed to a
more suitable 'building as one is pro
vided. The brick walls themselves are
to be made as inexpensive as possible.
Nearly half the amount to be asked
of the Legislature or $100,000 is wanted
for a classroom building and Its
necessary furniture and heating. Since
the last building on the campus was
erected, the number of students has
doubled and the buildings are crowded
past the point of sanitary Justification.
Every basement on the campus is
cut up into recitation room and as an
illustration of the condition may be
taken the case of the professor who
is in charge of one of the important
r departments. He begins his day In
the ante-room of the president's office,
a room about 12 by 12. Throughout the
day he carries his books and apparatus
from one borrowed room to an other,
meeting classes and successively up
stairs in Deady hall. In the basement of
the library, and in Villard Hall until
noon.
After luncheon he Is back in the
president's ante-room again. His desk
Is in still another building, McClure
'. Hall, where he has a corner of the
basement.
The other items that go to make up
the amount asked for equipment are
' needed for general repairs and for Im
proving and extending the heating sys
tem that is supposed to warm all the
rooms on the campus.
The board estimates 350,000 per an
num for general maintenance and 15000
for Summer school extension work to
complete the requests to be laid before
the Legislature. The continuing sup
port granted by the electorate six years
ago is $125,000 a year. At that time
the number of students was 701 as
against 1174 now In actual residence.
Money is needed to meet a call for edu
cational assistance that has come from
all parts of the state and which has be
come especially Insistent since women
have been granted the franchise. The
Summer school, too. is making a- -considerable
draft on the university with
its work of helping the grade and high
school teachers of the state keCp in
touch with the newest improvements
in their lines of work.
Many Demands Are Made.
The demand from the public the uni
versity is especially anxious to be able
to meet la one for helping the municipal
affairs of the smaller towns. Practical
instruction is sociology and economics
also Is widely demanded, and guidance
Is wanted for classes of adults in parts
of Oregon remote from the campus.
The call comes largely from women
many of them isolated in farming sec
tions, and others already working to
gether in Improvement clubs.
Professor Young, the head of the de
partment of sociology, believes that the
demand has reached snch proportions
that the state cannot advisedly ignore
it, and that the proper policy is to es
tablish centers of municipal govern
ment in various places, such as those
by which the University of Wisconsin
has made itself the servant of the
smallest communities in the state as
well as the largest and of stay-at-home
as well as the student in residence.
Questions of civic sanitation, city
planning and community improvement
are being forced on the university from
all over Oregon.
There are already S15 students scat
tered all over Oregon who are doing
university work by mall. Communica
tions are received dally, and only lack
of means prevents the rapid extension
of the work.
For six years the university has
thrived and educated In ever-increasing
numbers the sons and daughters of
Oregon, without a single new building
or a single increase In the amount
allotted for maintenance. It is now an
Institution of twice the educational
value it had when the people passed
trie continuing appropriation, but its
material equipment Is the same, and Is
declared by President Campbell o be
entirely inadequate.
Hla-h Standard Necessary.
"Even In a year of the utmost
economy, such as was enjoined by the
people upon all th departments of the
State of Oregon," said the president,
"it Is extremely advisable that the
state should spend enough on Its Insti
tutions to safeguard Its previous In
vestments. Th regents limited the
budget to those which are imperatively
demanded In order to maintain under
the pressure of new conditions the high
standard of efficiency In the uni
versity." In addition to the amounts recom
mended for the departments of the uni
versity at Eugene, the regents also
recommended an annual appropriation
of (30,000 tor the medical department
located in Portland. The medical school
was given $15,000 per year by the last
Legislature.
It has materially raised Its require
ments for admission, and is now ranked
In "Class A" by the American Medical
Association. The Increase In appropria
tion Is needed in order to- enable the
medical school to maintain Its standard
In the face of the rapidly increasing
demands that are being made upon It.

man. Director of Agriculture In Mysore,
India, visited the college this week, and
upon the commission of the Govern
ment of Mysore is making a trip
around the world,' while enroute visit-
inar the leading agricultural sections of
different countries and agricultural col
leges. His station in India, he says, is
in the "dry farming" belt, where they
have from 35 to 40 inches of rain an
nually. He says that so thoroughly
civilized has India become in late years
that in a residence of Ove years in My
sore, in which he has traveled through
out the province and In other parts of
India as well, he has seen Dut one live
cobra and no animal larger or more
dangerous -than a monkey.
He says figers and elephants still
abound In parts of India, but are not
really dangerous; that about the worst
a tiger will do is to pull down a cow
now and then, and will not do that if
food Is available without this encroach
ment.
Dr. Coleman says that nowhere in
Canada or the United States has he
found roads as- good as they are now
in India.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Dec. 7. (Special.) Every
thing at the college Is now in readi
ness for the opening of the special
lectures and demonstrations of Farm
ers' week on Monday. The most
.trikinir visible sisms of the prepara
tions which have been going on for
the past six weeks are the appear
ance of a big circus tent set up back
of the new dairy building for the
poultry show and the arrival last
night of a strangely assorted shipment
of livestock conslgnea to me aepan
men nf Animal husbandry.
This shipment of stock consists of
three steers, tnree sneep an inrtt
hoirs. the animals to be used in con
nection with the ,meat demonstrations
to be given at the college armory
next Wednesday and Friday. One of
the steers is a first-class beet animal.
Another which will not grade as high
is typical of. many which are sold to
Oregonians as "prime beef" and a third
hardly marketable creature. Is the un
familiar source of the entirely familiar
"rubber steak."
The sheep and hogs represent the
same class of meat animals as are rep
resented by the steers and will be the
Giihlects of lecture by J. E. Forestel,
of Portland, manager of the Union Meat
Company's retail market.
On Friday the dressed carcasses of
these nine animals will serve as the
material for demonstrations by w. M.
Constantine, proprietor - of the Alder
Meat Market at rortlano..
Bv the erection of a circus tent
40x100 feet in size the department of
poultry husbandry has completed ar
rangements for the most extensive
demonstrations ever offered by that
department in connection with "the
work of Farmers' week. At last year's
short course the "Egg Show" was for
one day -only and a prominent poultry
editor from the East who was In at
tendance reported it as one of the
best exhibitions of the kind which he
had ever seen. This year the snow win
cover all - phases y-of the poultry in
dustry, will beopen during the entire
week and no effort has been spared
that will tend to uphold the standard
set by last year's egg snow.
BRUNK PROMISES SUPPORT
Polk County Democrat Says He's for
McArthur for Speaker.
SALEM, Or.. Dec. 7. (Special.) That
Thomas W. Brunk, Democrat and prom
inent stockman xf Polk County, will
support C. N. McArthur for the
Speakership of the House in the next
Oregon Legislature was the declaration
while in Salem.
"Yes, I shall support Mr. McArthur
for the office of Speaker at the coming
session of the" Legislature notwith
standing the difference between our
political affiliations," said Mr. Brunk.
"I have known Clifton McArthur
since his childhood and it Is my high
esteem for him as a man and my confi
dence in his ability as Speaker that in
duces me to support him for the posi
tion to which he aspires. The people of
Polk and Lincoln Counties elected me
to attend to their business in the Leg
islature and not to fool away my time
in futile caucuses."
When asked if his colleague. Repre
sentative Hill, of Polk County, would
support Mr. McArthur, Mr. Brunk said:
"I have not discussed this matter with
Mr. Hill, but assume that he is friendly
to Mr. McArthur, who is very popular
with a large majority of the people of
Polk County regardless of political
affiliation." -

THE ANSWER
In the make-up of the Packard "38" carriage
are more features directly appealing to the
owner and driver than ever before have
been embodied in any one motor vehicle
Hydraulic Governor
Enables the novice to drive with
the assurance an expert. Pre
vents "stalling" the motor in
crowded traffic; prevents racing
the motor when "declutching";
affords agreeable uniformity of
road speeds without requiring
skillful use of the accelerator
pedal.
Six-Cylinders Perfected
Flexible, efficient, silent, giving
motion with no sense of exerted
i power.
Dry Plate Clutch
Proof against "burning" and cer
tain of engagement without
"grabbing."
. Forced Feed Oiling
Especially desirable for "sixes."
An auxiliary Bystem feeds oil di
rectly to the cylinder walls and is
automatically regulated for differ;
ent power requirements.
' Size of Crank Shaft
The diameter of the crank shaft
is 2Yi inches. Ample size of
bearings insures maximum period
of service without refitting.
Left Drive
Avoids the necessity of stepping
into the street. This result in con
nection with other far reaching
improvements.
Electric Self Starter '
Easily and simply operated from
a driving position.
Centralized Control
Complete mastery of the car from
the driver's seat. A compact ar
rangement at the finger tips
. operated with the slightest effort
Electric Lighting
Controlling switches at the cen
tralized control board.
Magneto Ignition
f A high tension dual ignition sys
tem independent of the self-starting
battery and motor generator.
Insures Packard efficiency at all
6peeds. "
Short Turning Radius
The Packard "38" turns in a circle
forty-one and one-half feet in
diameter.
Six-Inch Depth of Frame
Prevents body distortion and
cramping of doors. -
The sum of these essentials is to be found in no other car. This
comprehensive solution, in one motor carriage, of all the chief
problems of recent years, compels the consideration of the
critical patron.

Plumbing in the City of Portland costs 50 per cent less
today than ever before. This is not because Ave are hav
ing any panic or because of any Presidential election The
whole reason is just these six words: "We are fighting
the Plumbing Trust." When we first started m the
plumbing business, you had to pay at the rate of $10 per
fixture... Today you pay about $22 per fixture. Ask your
self if it is not because J. Simon & Bro. started the fight m
this' city against the largest of all trusts the Plumbing
Trust that prices are not as high as they were. If you
cannot answer, ask any of the plumbers or plumbing sup
ply houses why is it that today you can buy a first-class
Tub for $14.00, Toilet for $10.40, Sink $2.00, Lavatory
$1.50, Laundry Tray $6.00? His answer will be that J.
Simon & Bro. are handling plumbing goods for nothing.
But that is not the fact. We are satisfied with a live-and-let-live
profit. We are out of the high-rent district. We
sell for cash only, unless responsible parties, to whom we
