CLEVELAND CRDOXALS Off
FARMS
IHE NATIONAL conference on
.'charities and .correction has
been In session at . Boston.
Many phases of dealing with
.criminals, and the line between
' necessary punishment and possible
reformation, have been ' . dealt with
by those specially qualified, both by
study and experience, to give their
opinions .value.
The general - superintendent of
charities and correction of the City
of Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. James F.
Jackson, gave his most recent re
sults from the employment of the
criminals of the city On the large
farm recently purchased by the city,
and devoted to that purpose. "The
farm policy," said the speaker, , "is
to give each man the largest degree
of liberty consistent with the well
being of others. The ultimate pur
pose Is to ejmploy as many without
the walls as possibly can be trusted.
No key Is turned on these men dur
ing the day. The night guard and
the locked door are more to remove

REGON .FELICITATES with
Astoria on ita approaching
centennial. The state and the
people of the state are going
to cooperate to make the event so
successful that it will pass into his
tory as one of the great affairs of
the commonwealth.
But, In Justice to themselves and
the coming centennial, there Is one
condition that the people of Astoria
should immediately remove, because
it Is a condition that reflects ad
versely on their plans and purposes
for" tb; celebration. The county
court of Clatsop county Is withhold
ing payment to the state of $4000 of
1909 taxes due from that county
through an, apportionment of state
taxes by the state board of taxation.
If. the sum were five times the
amount, the Astoria people could
not, under the circumstances, af
ford to further default In payment.
In other counties similar increases
of state taxes resulted from the
state board's aoDortlonment. but

balance.
The county court of Clatsop coun
ty stands alone in refusing to pay
the increase, and what Is worse, it
does so on technical grounds, being j
powerless to make a successful claim
that Clatsop county should not, in
Justice, pay the amount, Just as all
other counties have done.
Tet, the Astoria centennial is re
ceiving a gift' of $50,000 from the
state, and it is a sum made up by
contributions from sister counties.
If the $4000 back taxes of Clatsop
county is not paid, It will lay addi
tional penalty on the very sister
counties that contributed the $50,
000 for the Astoria centennial.
The Astoria people cannot afford
to permit their county court to
place them in so unfavorable a light
before, the rest of the state. ' Their
good sense of Justice and their high
character as a people forbid. The
spirit and the honor of their cen
tennial forbid. They should compel
their authorities to pay Clatsop
county's honest debt.

THE PRICE OF CONSOLIDATION
T
HOSE WHO have been agitat
ing a consolidation of the state
university and Oregon Agricul
tural college claim that the
union would save money.
Three bills recently signed by the
governor of Illinois will give them
pause. In Illinois the state univer
sity and agricultural college are al
ready consolidated Into a single In
stitution, and the bills signed by the
governor are- appropriations for Its
maintenance and extension.
The appropriations alone aggre
gate $3,489,300. They are, an ap
propriation of $848,500 for build
Ings and new equipment; an appro
priation of $2,640,800 for malnten
ance and extension; total, $3,489,
300.
A third bill levies an annual one
mill tax on all the property of Illi
nois for the support -of the Instltu
tlon. It becomes effective in 1912
and Is expected to raise $2,000,000
a year.
Two million dollars a year Is
very' large sum of money. But it
Is the : price Illinois, beginning In
1912, Is to pay lor the maintenance
of its consolidated Institution.
The stated annual allowance for
maintenance of the state university
In Oregon Is $125,000, The stated al
lowance for the agricultural college
Is $150,000. .
The future stated allowance for
maintaining the consolidated Instltu
tlon In Illinois is eight times as much
as the stated allowance for the two
separate institutions In Oregon. Ap
parently, consolidation Is costly,
The figures dd not give Oregon con
solidatlonists one shred of argument
from which to prove that their plan
would be economical.
