Ilia education depends upon the character of our common- schools and the character of our common schools, is dependent upon the character of our teacher. .The char acter of our teachers depends largely upon the question of living "wages, n It follows, therefore, that grood pay brings good teachers ; good teachers bring good citizens, ana good citizens bring good government;"' j j , STANDARDS AT STAKE i Dr. E.

Assessed values are commonly one -third-of mar ket values, so that tbe tax would come to about 43 cents on actual value.

Hundreds , of columns have been printed j throughout tho state con cerning the higher educational and elementary sqHool mlllage measures that are to be Voted upon on May 21, and the literally thousands of talks have been mada'( concerning them. yet s many voters are still unaware of the content of the two measures, and of the differences between them. Many yoters, too still have misunder standings concerning the. two bills, and especially concerning the one to pro tect the! work of the State university, Agricultural college and Normal school. QUESTIONS AEE A5SWEEEB The Journal, accordingly, has com piled a list of the questions most com monly asked about tbe two bills and prints them below, together with an swers: i " ; ' Question What do the higher educa tional bill, and the elementary school bill provide? Answer The higher educational bill calls for; a levy, of 1.26 mills on the as sessed valuation or the state and will appear on the ballot as the -higher edu cational j tax act. - The other measure calls for S mills on the assessed valu ation of the state and will appear on the ballet as the elementary school fund tax bill, j . " ' - Why were both not put in one bill The ; source of income differs. The higher educational institutions are main tained 'solely by the state tax, which at present is only seven tenths of a mill," plus one twenty-fifth of a mill, for the Normal school. The elementary schools. however.- are supported principally by school district taxes, which range from a few mills to 30 mills, as a rule. It is proposed .merely . to transfer 2 mills of the district levy for elementary, schools to the -state levy, in the case of the eler raentary? school bill. ; Why is -it desired to transfer the two a mills?: . .: ' ,.v- . - ' Because $42,000,000 in assessed prop erty now. escapes all school taxes through being outside' of any school district. This property, mostly timber, would con tribute mills under the new proposal. Because ; the proceeds from the 2 mills would be distributed an a "per teacher" basis, rather than on : a iper student" basis, thereby aiding weaker districts. Would i the Z, mill proceeds be lumped from the state as a whole? " No. The county would . be the unit. The money from -each county would be returned; to that county." ; Would . taxes be increased 2 mills if this measure passed? .. Not necessarily. Districts could re duce their, local . levies 2 mills if they wished, in which case it would air come to the same. - , ATTEND AHCE IS INCREASED Why are the state's higher educa tional institutions in need of more finan cial aid? Because their attendance has increased 150 per cent in. the last seven years, while the buyingy power of their income has been reduced by. more than half. Did they have no increase in income to offset this growth? The increase ii state support has been less than 4 per cent in the seven years. Their attendance has increased 40 times as fast as their income. i How many service men: are -at the three, institutions? ; i- I ' About 1500. The total full time at tendance is 5400. Is not the present large enrollment due to the influx of service men as a result of the state educational bonus to soldiers, sailors and marines who were Oregon residents when they went into the service; and when these students complete their work will- there not be a slump in enrollments?' '" MUST KEEP PACE No. Reports of the state superintend ent of public instruction show that the increasing number of graduates from high schools in the state should cause these higher educational institutions to have a continuing- growth. - In addition, a college education is becoming more and more a necessity' in life, and in all like lihood nearly all boys .and , girls will. within a generation, take a college de grree as a training for living and citi zenship, is ,'".;. ' I ' If by any chanee there should be a decrease, would not the institutions then have more money than needed? " Should the income at. any time be found greater than needed, it Is within the provnice of -the legislature, without reference to the people, or it is within the. province of the people themselves, through -the-Initiative, to make any re duction, desired, either by amending pr repealing existing millage tax laws. v PAetrlXT MEJ!; QUIT t"!'t ''"x? : :'" " 3 i; ,' What is the status of faculty salaries now ? , ' ; .. ,- . The average increase in the three in stitutions- since.. 1915 . has been about 20 -per cent. In'- the same period : the cost of living ha increased nearly 100 per cent!, As a result, scores of faculty men "have been - compelled f to , go else where. The -Agricultural college alone has lost.lSf ia 18-months. j; - ; . How does the j student . cost per year at Oregon and 0. A. tT. compare, with cost In other institutions? : -' It is a little more than half the aver age : in state universities and agricul tural colleges generally. Would not the passage of the. higher educational tax act raise the cost In this state to a point above average? - No, because so" much of the proceeds will go into buildings, s ; f . - How does the investment per student in buildings compare with, the general average? - ' - At O. A. C. andOregon it is about ene third vo tte average for the United States, . i Do hot the colleges spend money on intercollegiate athletics? . 1 No. They are financed by the stu dents through their own student organi zation. Most of the money comes back in gate receipts; the. students meet the rest-through a student fee. His the state stood the expense of the literature . explaining this measure ' or any other expense of the campaign? Not any. r The expense has been met by alumni and pther friends of higher education, who did not want to see the state schools set back for many years. Howaxe the disbursements of the three institutions supervised? ; ; The general policy is under control of the three boards of regents, who serve without pay. The university and college each has ; a professional comp troller, who .spends no money except by : voucher, and all vouchers are sn-fte ' Dr. H. M.
