Ore., uildur tlio Act of Congress of jlarcli 3, mtv, "THU RSDAY Feb. 6, 1908 A MATTER OF STATE PRIDE The act increasing the state hpproprintion for the University of Oregon to $f2fi,000 per annum jvhich act was held up by the referendum aud will be sub mitted to the voters of the state 1 jiext June, should be supported by everj citizen of Oregon, who feels a pride in his state. That the referendum should have been invoked on a measure for the support of the chief educa tional institution of the state is cause enough for shame, and the majority for the appropria tion when the question conies to a vote in June, should be so overwhelming as to prove an unmistakable rebuke to those who held the measure upj and' at the same time forever dis courage the calling of a refer endum vote on an appropria tion for the advancement of our educational interests. 1 Oregonians should ieel a pride in having their state uni versity as good as aii3T in the Northwest, and the old appro priation of 47,500 was wholly inadequate, to maintain it. The appropriation of $125,000 which jWas provided by the act was Ziot as generous a support as Ida ho and Washington gave their State universities lat ear, but it would have made possible inany needed improvements, hnd was a step in the right direction. The people of the state should show their approv al by voting for the appropria tion, and against tlfe mossback- sm which begrudges the money spent for education. lie Schools, which position he is lilling in a most creditable man- ANNOUNCEMENT Announcements of CAntlMates nubllshcd ner.
