' ine propoaitiona, five proposed
amendments ! to the . state constitu

have been submitted by the special
session of N the legislature for ap
proval ; or rejection by the voters
of Oregon at the-special election to
be held May 21For. tbt informa
tion of the voters The Journal will
present a brief and con else state
ment of the purpose and intent of
these various proposals, one at a
time, until the entire tistNas been
covered, takina; them in the. order
in which they will appear upon the
official ballot j , T h :
'TWafk MtTM.K PlfArlAoiilAH VM aN
: A av m v va,a. . a( vtmuvu VI4 illO
ballot at the special election is en
titled the "Soldiers, Sailors' and Ma
rines' Educational Aid i Revenue
Bill." It is a straight millage ap
propriation bill, complementary , to
the soldiers aid act of the 1919 ses
sion fit the legislature, and is re
ferred to the voters for the reason
that the 1919 act has proved In
practice that it does not furnish suf
ficient revenue to meet the terms of
the law. ; ; ;
1 The legislature of 1919 passed what
is known currently as : "The 8oIdiers'
Aid Bill" and submitted it to the elec
torate at the' special election of June
3, 1119. ; It was enected by the voters
with a majority of 6645. This act pro
vided, in brief, that "any and all hon
orably discharged soldiers, sailors and
mstrtnes who' have been in the service
of the army, navy or marine corps
during the war with Germany, and who
are or may be and who were enlisted
or Inducted into such service from the
state of Oregon, and who desire to
pursue a course of study in any in
stitution of learning in the state of
Oregon, whether public or private,"
hould be. given state aid not to. ex
ceed $25 1 a month and not exceeding
$200 in any 'one year. ;
OK1.T HEGTjaR8 AIDED "
It Is also provided that no one man
should receive such aid, for more , than
four yeaira The ' law; specifically pro
vided, i howeven ' that: "In no Instance
chalk individuals who have been In the
service known as the students army
training i corps, or wBo were Inducted
or. enlisted in the Iinilted service of
the United .States army, and who did
not leave the United States in such
rvci." i receive - aid ; under the act
To cary out the provisions of the
act a tax of two-tentns or one mm on
the dollar was leviedNigainst the total
assessed 1 valuation of the state, which
valuation now srancrs at. aau.iwiit.
Aceordingly, the 1919 act provided the
sume4LJU9&es'r:for Us administration
during the current year. - ' .
MAST 1 tAKE ABTASTAGE
The ad vacates of the law contended
in their; estimates made to the legis
lature that not more than .1500 ex
service mm would apply for state aid,
upon, .'"which basis they calculated efcat
the' annual appropriation of $198.087
more or i less, according ; to " the fluctua
tions of j the assessed valuatiorv would
be sufficient or more than sufficient to
meet the demands made - against the
fund. However, more than 8700 appli
cations for aid were: filed by ex-service
men, the- fund was I enUrely exhausted
and f tha special session of the legis
lature appropriated , $250,000 additional
to carry on the work during "the re
mainder of the present -year.
The proposed law adds a miUage ap
propriation of two-tenths of a mill to
the original act It Is.1 In effect noth
ing more than an amendment of the
original act of 1919, increasing the mill
age levy therein provided from two
tenths Ito four-tenths of a mill in
other words, doubling the appropria
tion.' 1: ;
FOUR jlEARS ALLOWED
Therefore the effect of the approval
of the ?roposed act by the voters at
the coming special election would be
to ; fix an annual levy ' of four-tenths
of a mill to finance the administration
of: the law. ...This' would produce, on
the basis of the present valuations, an
annual appropriation of ,$396,174. .
Neither the original nor the proposed
statute carries any limitation of time
against the annual levy in express
terms. It does provide, however", a
provision which " win in Itself put a
period to the administration of the act
within a relatively short period of
time, since all of the service men wno
Intend to take advantage of its terms
will naturally do so within the next
year or so. - t i
This act is, the only one so far en
acted in this state for -the direct finan
cial assistance of ex-service men.

. Baker, May l5. The members o
freight train crew and possibly the im
sengers on Friday .evening's passenger,
train on the Sumpter Valley railway owe
their lives to the : work of Isaac Glbbs,
a mere 13-year-old boy, now; a hero,
who stopped the freight just in .time to
save it from plunging through a burning
bridge near . Salisbury, 12 miles from
Baker,.:--
The boy stopped the freight 25 minutes
before the passenger train was due.
The blase, believed-to have originated'
from the spark of a locomotive stack, j
destroyed two spans of the bridare. Pas- :
that carried them from the bridge to

That "thefe will be liell-a-popping" at San Francisco" is'th'e warmish comment of the chief Dem
ocratic paperjin Nebraska on Mr. Bryan's victory in the State primaries, for he-will 'now go to the
convention as a delegate "with full opportunity to devote his power and talents . to either guerrilla
or open warfare upon the leadership of President Wilson and the policies for which he stands."
The, President has indicated very plainly, in his letter to Delegate Jouett Shouse, read to the
Kansas "Democratic State convention, that he will insist that the party support his League program.
The New York World believes it would be a fatal policy' for the party to repudiate the President,
for "it is only under his leadership that the party can be held together, and the Brooklyn Eagle
says that if the party is to make the campaign on the League issue, "the only logical candidate is
Woodrow Wilson.", The Republican press naturally have a few remarks to make about all this.
Thus the Milwaukee Sentinel: "Run for a third term nomination? Of course he'll run health
permitting. And, as a prominent Democrat remarks, such is Mr. Wilson's sublime self-confidence
that when it comes to that qqestion he will regard himself as the best judge of 4 the permis
sive state of his health." ,
Orte of the most interesting articles in this week's LITERARY DIGETMay 1 5th deals
with Ihe possibility of Mr. Wilson again being, a candidate for the Presidency, and presents the
editorial view-point on-this contingency from many angles. -
