n ? iThe Zorri-Macpherson Bill
z r-fj-u--" fl-. -i --i ; ; . ' ;
y TNDOUBTEDtY the moat bitterly fought legislative measure on
I I the ballot In recent years is the Zorn-Macpherson school con
aclidathra bill; Ever since It was proposed the Issue has been
attended with acrimonious discussion, with commission of crime,
and "with a barrage of propaganda much of which goes tar beyond
the Bounds of truth. And after the smoke dears away It will be found
tfcat people hare voted inite largely as their prejjadices or their per
' ennal Interests dictated. .

nna nr or the other has made anr
TJaually If one went behind the scenes
' saa has1 pulled the strings to obtain the desired resolution xor or
against consolidation.
- AdmittadlT it would ha difficult to make such a surrey, because
It would involve much speculation
: ! ear population and wealth, treads
,fi to sketch briefly the scope of such a study we would outline u some
what as followi :
'.J 1. Study of the capital outlay required jpver a 25-year period, with
. and without consolidation. I
. . - 3." Study of operating costs over a similar period under consolida
i tlon and under the nresent set-np.
, t.' Study of the effect on property values over a similar period of
time in all of the affected cities.
1 ' '4. Study of the probable attendance at the schools under both
; - systems of school organization.
- 6V Study of the effect of consolidation on the quality of work of
fered. and of institutional service to the state.
I. Comparative study of costs and efficiency in other states op
erating on the single university plan and on the two-Institution plan.
' ; 1. A similar stndy of normal school organization.
Those are merely points which occur to us at the moment. It Is
; not necessary to add that not a single Impartial agency has made
such a thorough-going study. Lacking that, how -can the people rote
. intelligently on this Zorn-Macphersom bill? Well, perhaps they win
: rot lust as intelligently as if they had It. Judging from reports of
' past "survey" commissions. Oftentimes blind Instinct is about as safe
a guide as carefully wrought out
It is sot surprising however that figures are used wildly and
recklessly both for and against consolidation. The proponents claim
savings of 120,000,000 In SO years, but gira no detail to Justify the
numerous ciphers ' after the first digit. The opponents are likewise
reckless in assertions of costs for new buildings at Corvallis and
- of losses through abandoned property at Eugene and Monmouth. We
think both Corvallis and Eugene will find their statements will arise
and plagne them In the future when they come hat in hand to request
V new. buildings.1 , ' j v !
The I contest appears; to have developed into a race for savings.
Each side makes its appeal on the grounds of "economy Compara-
tirely little attention la given to the effect on education, whether It
' will he prospered or injured by the
youth will receive the benefits of
of greatj importance to Oregon of
' at the cost. !
Speaking now from general
atady of the various factors Involved, these tacts seem to us to be
- tree:. I
i 1st. Corvallis "could take care of both enrollments; and Eugene
.- "could j get along without new buildings. Ia both cases the ability
' would be limited only fey necessity, because when times are more
: . propitious Corvallis will need tor Its normal present set-np additional
buildings for physical and biological science, and library addition.
' Likewise Eugene if it contnues as
extensive building, and let us hop
marked Uta development In the past.
- new buildings.
Ia this respect however an
. farmer; what It wants and what it needs are always limited by what
- It can afford to hare. 1
2nd.j We cannot expect our state schools' to operate indefinitely
n thai present revenues, receiving only the millage revenues. The
reason Is that property ralues hare
imcreaslng! very slowly, while the
chiefly to larger enrollments, has
tea scnaoia are "getting by but
more mads will bare to be proTided.
i Now I under consolidation the
than la required tor two separate
administration it could spend even
able to expect savings in operating
set of buildings and one administration. To spend more would be
sheer squandering of money and that is not at all uncommon among
higher tastltatlons.
i So It! onei looks at the question
angle, considering the c6sta over a term of 25 years, it seems to us
- an Inescapable conclusion that under careful administration conaol-
r laauon would result in lower capital
. me amount pr wnicn we would not presume to tlx. . !
. However there are other considerations than costs, which In our
. ease determine our opposition to the Zorn-Macpherson bill. The state
has established the university and state college as separata institu
tions, has maintained them for a half century. Each has or should
have a distinct program of work. Each has performed a useful service
in the east, and each can continue so to function in the future under
proper direction and: with proper public support. Wa are bitterly op
posed to the) butchery which the present state board of higher educa
tion has perpetrated, which purposely destroys the educational indl
. vidmaUty of both institutions and shall not eeaso to carry on holy
war . against the state board nntil its hlnndera are rectified. We
believe that these mistakes can be corrected and the university pre-
served as a school of liberal arts and professional training and the
state college a school for relational and technical training A And we
,. further believe that, in view of the Investment that has Veen made
not only try the state, but by private individuals, and the traditions
which also hare their ralues, the state should continue to maintain
the university at Eugene and the state college at Corvallis, hoping
that a single administration may remove causes of bickering, and
considerable of the duplication; though we frankly admit the cost
- will be grtaater to the state.

Dear Editor:
In your editorial In The States
man of November 1, concerning
the potato controversy between
two southern Oregon editors and
commenting on the two sacks of
same sent to : yon, yon say that
'Al Smith would say they excel
Bill Borah's Idaho potatoes. They
are so dry 'and mealy." I think
yon are surely mistaken In this
statement, Al Smith would never
recommend anything that was
dry, not even a -potato. If he were
going out 'hunting ha would in
sist on having his powder wet-
in fact that is just what has kept
him out of tna presidential chair
-his political powder has always
been sopping wet. It is now. and
on account of it he will fall to
get his rabbit akin to. wrap up
baby Roosevelt in. Some people
claim that Mr. Smith cannot sleep
in a house that is shingled, and
