RULED HERE
University of Oregon Regents
May Proceed To Issue,
Court Holds ,
The University of Oregon-may
proceed with construction of Its
1400,000 dormitory and the re"
gents may tosue and sell bonds In
this amount, according to a rul
ing handed down by the supreme
court Tuesday declaring the 127
i.rtitura' art authorising the
bond issue.
The opinion was' written, by
Justice Belt an4 affirmed Judge
Walter H. Evans In a suit filed
hv Marion F. McClaln attacking
the conatltutionaUty of the legis
lative act. i
The plaintiff contended that the
Issuance and sale of these bonds
would create an indebtedness of
v. .tola I nrmi of 150.000 in
UC Oioiv " - w
violation of the constitution.
n.fn.itinta altered' that the
"reeent of the university" is
corporation constituting a distinct
and independent legal entity and
that, by reason thereof, the state
In no way has undertaken to lend
its credit or create any liability in
violation of the constitutional
limitation of Indebtedness.
It further was alleged by the
defendants that if it was held that
the constitutional provision ap
, plies to the university, since the
cost of the building was to be paid
from the net rentals to accrue in
the future, no indebtedness with
in the meaning of such provision
was created.
'We think the act under attack
is reasonably susceptible of the
construction which the regents
have given it as disclosed by their
resolution." read the opinion. "It
does not purport to" authorize the
board of regents to contract any
Indebtedness other than to pledge,
on behalf of the university, the
net income from the rentals of
tiie building. The regents are not
taking from any existing fund the
revenue of the university, but pro-
that thn dormitory to oe
Erected will earn enough to pay
Jbf the principal and interest on the
bonds.
w; - "The only liability Is against a
' special fund which s to be made
up exclusively of net rentals. No
violation of the constitutional pro
vision against indebtedness is in
rolved. "AK 7nclude that neither the
- - of the state nor the univer
sity fund, nor any other funds
now controlled by or belonging to
either the state or the university
will, in any way. be impaired or
drawn upon in the event that this
dormitory ia' constructed under
the proposed plan. Plainly no
debt is created within the mean
ing of the constitution.
"We see no merit in the con
tention that the board of regents
have no power under the act to Is
sue bonds."

the supreme court here Tuesday

Dr. Shanks' editorial expressions
upon world peace are alao of In
terest: "War ta In the hearts of men.
If hearts are right, there will be
no war. Nations should not
tight, and will not If they follow
the King of Kings. But until
men's hearts are changed, there
will be fighting and strife and
warfare. Let competition be
trianAiv . and christian. War
should be outlawed by the natlone
of the earth. The evangel of the
gospel is the best antidote for war
Instead of guns, missionaries. In
stead of battleships, the merchant
marine."
