Ordinance Plans to Keep Before City Officials Necessity of Intelligent
Scheme for Directing Growth of the City.
Under the ballot numbers 138-139 the
city council has submitted for vote at
the special election an ordinance which
is designed to keep constantly before
the city officials and the people the ne
cessity of, intelligently planning and di
recting the growth of the city. It pro
poses that the plans prepared by Munic
ipal Architect E. H. Bennett and paid
for by publio subscription shall be
known as the plan of Portland, but in a
directory, not mandatory sense. That
is, the officials of the city will find it
necessary to familiarize themselves with
the plan so that they may consider it In
every proposal for publio improvements,
but if, after consideration, It is not
thought to the best interest to follow
the guidance of the plan, soma other
course may be taken,
rowers Art Satined.
With this view, tht ordlnanoe was
drawn by City Attorney Grant, taking
care that while It did not bind the city
to any expenditure or rigid construction
procedure, It would keep constantly be
fore the people the need of providing in
advance for Portland's greater growth
such things as street circulation, parks
and boulevards and other facilities nec
essary to the use and appearance of a
large city. This purpose is shown in
the text of the ordinance, which," be
cause of its brevity, may be reproduced
here:
"Seotlon 1. It shall bt the duty of
tha council, in making any publio im
provements in tht city of Portland, to
conform as tar as In their Judgment is
practicable and advantageous to the sys
tem of city planning embodied in what
is known as the Greater Portland Plans,
prepared by E. H. Bennett, with such
alterations or amendments at may be
hereafter made, and tht said Bennett
plans are hereby approved and adopted
as the official city plan, subjeot to
amendment or alteration by tha council
."Section 2.r-Tbo -provisions of this
ordinance are not mandatory upon the
council, but are merey directory."
The argument in favor of the passing
of the ordinance is that unless Portland
plans for. the future serious, transporta
tion congestion, waste in construction
due to hodge-podge worn and lack of
municipal efficiency and attractiveness
will result,
Argument Is Advanced.

Measure Provides Radical Change In Management and Plant of Sup
port of State University and Agricultural College.
Radical change In the management
and plan ef support of the state's two
Institutions of higher learning, the state
university at Eugene and the agricul
tural college at Coryallls. la proposed
in a measure presented to the voters
this year, usually designated as the
"mlllage tax" bill, because it provides a
stated tax for tht future support of the
two schools.
The general purpose of this bill Is to
avoid rivalry and legislative log rolling
between the two institutions by provid
ing a common board of control, and to
fix a certain tax, based upon the as
sesped valuation of the state, to avoid
the biennial scramble In the legislature
for funds.
To the dirferencrTetWen tht schools,
objections to the size of appropriations
by the last legislature and the advocacy
by certain Interests of tht consolida
tion of the two schools the mlllage tax
bili owes Its origin. From the elements
Just named came a referendum move
ment last year on bills passed at the
1911 session of the legislature providing
new buildings for the state university.
Attack on Referendum.
With these special appropriations tied
up, tha university was left with its
usual continuing appropriation of $125,
000 per year. An effort was made to
defeat the referendum in tht courts on
the ground of fraud in the referendum
petitions, but the courts finally upheld
them and ordered the bills on the ballot.
While this litigation was yet unsettled,
and while the Jumble of opinions was
at its height, friends of the two Insti
tutions set on foot a movement to mark
out a definite policy. They sought to
frame a bill that would put the higher
educational system of the state on a
fixed basis.
The result Is ths mlllage tax bill
Whether it fairly settle the problem
and W1U accomplish the objects claimed
for It is a matter of dispute, upon
which the people of the state are called
to pass.
The bill creates a single board of
regents for the two Institutions, con
sisting of the governor ex-offlclo and
six others, subject to Confirmation by
the state senate, to serve for a term of
13 years. Not more than three regents
shall be members of the same political
party and they are not to receive sal
aries. In the board first appointed the
governor - Is required - to - oestgnai me
terms of member to expire in two year
intervals thereafter, so one appointment
for a lt-year term wUl bt made every
two years.
Annual Tax Pro Tided.
Funds for the support of both schools
are to bt orovlded by an annual tax of
six-tenths of 1 mill on tbe dollar on all
property In th state, to be collected
with ther taxes, four-sevenths of the
amount thus obtained to go to the sup
port of the Agricultural college and
three-sevenths to the state university.
Thts levy is to be in lieu of the annual
and special appropriations heretofore
made by the legislature every two years.
Amounts unexpended for either school
in any one year are to be carried over
to tho succeeding year and added to the
fund for that institution.
Tht new order of things Is to go into
effect, if the bill is approved by the
voter., on the first day of next January,
and present laws in conflict art repealed,
except that tne annual appropnauuns
for both schools for the year 1913 are
made effective "to enable the Institu
tions for which said appropriations are
made to meet ourrent expenses between
the date of the passage of thlt act and
the collection of the tax hereby levied,
and for making necessary repairs and
improvements and the construction of
necessary additional buildings."
Amount Allowed.
In other words, the-$125,000 allowed
annually to the state university by the
present law, and the $160,000 allowed to
the agricultural schobl will be turned
over to the new board of regents for
1913, In addition to the mlllage tax for
tht coming year. The collection of the
latter in the uBual course of tax collec
tion will not begin until tht last part of
January.
Tht bill fails to define the courses of
study In the two schools, leaving them
to be prescribed by the board of regents
"in such manner as to avoid all un
necessary duplication of work."
Argument in favpr of this bill centers
principally around three propositions,
one. tha tllmlnatlon of politics and leg
islative logrolling; two, the establishing
of an amount for permanent support
sufficient for the need of a
growing state; three, greater efficiency
In tht work of both schools by revision
of tht courses of study.
That there has been pulling; and haul
ing between the schools at each session
of tht legislature la not denied in any
quarter, nor is It denied that this is
detrimental tft tht general course of leg
islation. To remove this shifting polit
ical element and trading between friends
of each school Is one of the prime
objeott sought In taking the appropria
tion of money out of the hands of ths
legislature. 1

activity will bt shifted from tht legis
lature to the governor's office, since tht
governor and his appointees will have
control of tht institutions. It is de
clared that the schools may thus be
come an issue In the eleotlon of gov
ernor, an outcome not desired on any
hand.
Again, on the subject of maintenance,
there la sharp difference of opinion.
Under the present state assessment the
sum to be raised the coming year by the
six-tenths of a mill tax will be approxi
mately $6ie,000,glvlng $220,000 to the
university and $290,000 to the agricul
tural school. These sums will lnorease
proportionately with the growth of the
assessed valuation of property In future
years.
In addition to this sum tht bill allows
each Institution to receive in 1913 the
amount heretofore annually appropriat
ed for ordinary expense and upkeep,
$125,000 to the university and $160,000
to the school at Corvallls. Thus the
total received by - the university next
year would b $345,000, and by tbt agrt
cultural school $440,000.
rtnanolal Bide Given.
Heretofore the annual continuing ap
propriation, for the university has been
$126,000 and for the Corvallls school
$160,000. At each session of the legis
lature there has usually been urgent de
mand to secure additional sums for
new buildings or grounds, and from
this it Is argued by friends of the' bill
that the amount of tht annual contin
uing appropriations does not afford a
proper basis of comparison In consid
ering coat to the state.
At the last session, for Instance, the
legislature set aside by special appro
priations over $600,000 for additional
buildings, grounds and Improvements at
tht university. The two bills carrying
these appropriations are the ones be
fore referred to as held up by the refer
endum and will be referred to again In
this article.
On the financial side the friends of
the bill assert that the levy proposed
is nons too large for the proper develop
ment of the two schools, as new build
ings will be required from time to time,
the running expenses will Increase, and
considerable sums will be needed to
keep Oregon's institutions at the front,
so that Oregon students can be edu
cated at horn and will not need to go
elsewhere to seek the best advantages.
Figuring the turns based on the present
tax levy as no more than needed to
provide for current expenses and better
ments, It is argued that the Increased
sums to come from Increased aasess
ments will be needed for like purposes
as tht state grows.
Provision Is Defended.
The provision for continuing the an
nual appropriation for 1913, in addition
to the tax levy is defended on the plea
that money will be needed before funds
collected on 1913 taxes are available,
and that whatever is left over should
go In as a "nest egg" for new build
ings, the construction of which might
be unduly delayed if the state is forced
to wait until enough money accumulates
from the annual tax levies.
Those opposing the bill point out that

sum set aside for tht university front
$125,000 to $220,000 and for tRe agri
cultural school from $110,000 to $290,
000, or nearly twice the sums now pro
vided. This on the basis of the pres
ent tax levy, with certainty of In
crease hereafter. These sums, It Is ar
gued, are too much, and would either
lead to profligacy and waste or to
tho accumulation of a large amount of
tht taxpayers- money in tha fundi "of
the two schools.
, On the question of efficiency, the
proponents of the bill assert that con
trol of both schools by the same board
of regents will eliminate duplications,
produce economies of operation and ac
complish practically all the good results
that could be gained by consolidation,
without the dangers attendant upon
uniting the schools.
Count of study.
There is dissatisfaction In some quar
ters over the failure of the bill to per
manently define the courses of study.
This failure, it Is claimed, may lead to
factional division among the regents,
with, political influence and rivalry
again entering Into the problem and
demoralizing changes of .policy, at one
faction or tht other gains control.
In this discussion must be Included
brief reference to the two appropria
tion bills for the University of Oregon
passed by tht legislature in 1911 and
to be voted on under the referendum.
One Of these bills provides $328,258.
92 for an administration building, addi
tional land, Improvements and equip
ment. The other provides $176,000 for
fireproof library and museum.
Friends or the mlllage bill art not
urging the adoption of tht bills and the
friends of the university who secured
their passage In the legislature are not
asking for their adoption now, because
of the mlllage bill provisions, which are
expected to provide for these buildings
within a rew years.
To this general statement exception
should perhaps be made as to those
who are not satisfied with tht millagt
bill In all respects and would prefer to
have the special appropriation bills go
through, trusting to future legislation to
correct the things complained of in the
present system.
Xfl Complications reared.
If the mlllage bill is adopted and tht
two referendum measures at the same
time' receive a larger vote, legal com
plications may result Apparently, tht
university would have the unusual sum
of $845,000 available in 1913, a sum
double the amount that is asked by its
friends. If the majority on the refer
endum bills be less -than -orr-thwrnmage
bills, the former would fall, being re
pealed by tht termB of the mlllage bill.
If ths mlllage bill Is adopted and the
referendum measures defeated the mill
age bill as before outlined will stand,
giving the schools tht six-tenths of a
mill levy as a permanent fund, and
the additional sum of $276,000 in 1913.
If the mlllage bill is defeated and
tha referendum measures adopted, which
Is hardly a possibility under the pres
ent line-up the schools will have tht
usual $276,000 for maintenance in 1913,
the university the $FO$,000 voted by the
last legislature and the next legislature
might add new special appropriations
tor either or both.
If the mlllage bill and the referendum
measures are all defeated, the situation
will bt as It has been In tht past, with
the standing appropriations of $275,000
for tht coming year and such additional
