Once agam the zoning cemmis
sion and the city council face an
application to change the class of
a tract within the restricted zone
of land facing the state capitol
group. This time the change is
requested so an office building
may be erected for the use of the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Co. at the corner of Court and
Winter streets. While this requires
under present ordinances its re
classification as "commercial" I
believe we should look rather at the
functional character of the struc
ture. The building would be
strictly of an office character serv
ing the general public, quite simi
lar to the type of work carried on
in the state capitol or state office
building. The present telephone
building which faces Willson park
on State street certainly fits in
well with the civic center. Proper
ly designed and located, the pro
posed structure would be an asset
from the standpoint of civic beau
ty and certainly the work con
ducted in the building would not
be offensive.
I should like to offer the sug
gestion however that a definite
description be given for the capi
tol zone to affect the half block
facing the state capitol develop
ment. Instead of using the pres
ent classifications of residential,
commercial, industrial, etc., keep
the tract as a capitol zone in which
both the construction and use of
the land would remain within the
jurisdiction of the city council.
What should be encouraged to
locate in this area would be semi
public institutions such as
churches, " the Red Cross, the
YWCA and YMCA and similar in
stitutions, lodge temples, and pri
vate corporations like the tele
phone company, a power company
or an insurance company or a
new hotel.
The control would be that ap

Senate Passes
$300,000,000
Education Bill
WASHINGTON, April 1.-;P-The
senate passed and sent to the
house tonight legislation to au
thorize $300,000,000 of federal aid
to the nation's grade and high
schools each year.
The bill is aimed at more nearly ,
equalizing the amounts spent for
education throughout the coun- !
try.
It would authorize grants in i
the poorer states up to about $28
a year for each child of school age.
No state would receive less than
$5 a year for each child from i
to 17.
Passage was On a 58 to 22 vote.
It came after one of the sen
ate's leading advocates of federal
economy. Senator Byrd (D-Va),
had protested in vain
According to the latest figures,
Oregon would receive $1,125,000
under the act.
