FLAT SALARY HELPS
STATE SAVES LARGE
SOIS IS OFFICE FEES
TniU-r the Flat Snlary Law the Of
fice of the Secretary o( Mate Ha
. Saved the People About t5000 la
Four Blontli Secretary Is Now
on Salary of $4500 Per Year and
' All Fees Go to the Suite.
The Sunday Oregonian reviews the
results of the flat salary law In the
ttate office of Oregon, as follows:
Oregon's flat salary law has now
bten In force four months, having
taken effect at the first of the year.
At that time it became the duty of
ail state officers to turn into the
treasury all fees theretofore collect
ed and retained by tliem, and this
requirement they have observed.
- But the only officer who has been
tun.lng ar;y foes Into the treasury Is
the secretary of state. During the
four months h paid to the treasurer
I4SF8.GO In fees which were retain
ed by tbe secretary before the flat
VaKry law went into effect.
I. the same rate should prevail
throughout the year the total fee
would amount to about 114,000. But
s'nre the Insurance companies pay
their annual license fees early In the
first four months, It Is scarcely prob
able that the same rate -will be
maintained throughout the year.
It la more likely that In the re
mining eight months the feea will
but little exceed the receipts for the
first" fuur months, making the total
f.-.r the year about 1 10,000.
In addition to fees to this amount,
the secretary of state ha heretofore
received compensation to tbe amount
of $i:-30 a year for serving on va
r'oyr state boards and a pre fit of
about tlOOO a year on copying the
lon laws and Journals. These
Items, together with his constitution
al salary of 11600, made a total of
about 113,850 a year.
Now the secretary Is on a flat sal
ary of I4G00 a year; all the other
fees and perquisites have been cut
off. effecting a saving of about $9,
50 a year from that office.
While these figures are only ap
proximations, they are a near cor
rect as it Is possible to compute them
from sources of Information now
available. The ttate treasurer has
heretofore collected a fee as custo
dian of securities, deposited by lnsur
anre companies, but this year Is not
collected until the end of the year,
so there will be nothing from that
source until. November or December.
The law requiring the treasurer to
loan the surplus funds has not gone
Into effect yet and there will he lit
tle information available this year
pon which to base an opinion a to
the revenue from that source. Ap
parently the net result of the flat
alary law ha been, however, a sav
ing of about Itxit a year, a shown
above. , , ... ...

LAMB FEEDING EXPERIMENT.
Wyoming Man Will Plnnt 100 Acres
of Field Pea.
A correspondent from Rlverton,
Wyo., to tbe Cheyenne Tribune, says
of a lamb-feeding experiment there:
J. A. Delefelder and General Man
ager Chatterton of the Wyoming Cen
tral Irrigation company, are on a
deal whereby the Irrigation company
is to plant 100 acres In field peas this
season and Mr, Delefelder to put In
lambs for pea fattening, the lambs to
be weighed In and weighed out and
the profit accruing from flesh Increase
to be equally divided.
,It la estimated that the 100 acres
will feed 6000 Iamb with an Increase
of weight from 60- pounds to : 95
pounds, the result giving the pea
planter about $1.60 per ' head for
lambs fed. While the lamb owners
will double the price of his Iambs as
they would be shipped for feeder.
If field pea planting I generally In.
traduced here 100,000 head of lambs
can be annually cared for by farmers
under the Rlverton canal and River
ton will become a great Iamb fatten
ing center for the markets of the east,
The pea will be fed In the field a

A committee of State University
alumni, addresses the peoplo of the
state In a 1 very pertinent lettor pro
testing against the referendum" on the
$125,000 appropriation and In en
closing the same- to the American
asks for as much publicity as possi
ble, hence the following presentation
to the clientele of this paper:'1 ''
The alumni of the University of
Oregon, realizing that a grave danger
is threatening the welfare of the uni
versity through an attempt now "be
ing made to Invoke the referendum
on the appropriation made for Its
support by the last session of the leg
islature. Issue this statement to the
voters of Oregon In the confident
hope and belief that after a careful
consideration of all the facts, they
will refuse to give the movement
their support. The university along
with the - state, has Just entered on
a remarkable period of growth. .High
schools are being established in every
section of Oregon, from which tho
sons and daughters of the plain peo
ple are finding their way In steadily
increasing numuers 10 me Droaaer
educational opportunities offered
them by the university. The estab
lishment of union district high schools
In large numbers will soon open new
avenues to the university for the boys
and girls living In the country. The
very best equipment should be provid
ed for their training.
It is n lamentable fact that the
university has in the past had the
smallest appropriation for mainten
ance of any state university In the
union. The new appropriation of
8125,000 per year, for maintenance,
buildings and equipment, does not
yet bring It up to the mark set by
the neighboring state of Washington,
which has Just appropriated 8225,000
per year for the maintenance of its
university, in addition to $600,000" for
buildings to be used by the univer
sity after they have first served as
exposition buildings at the Alaskan
Yukon exposition. Idaho has appro-
pralted $2R0,000 for the biennial pe
riod, and California has appropriated
nearly $1,000,000 per year.
The mill tax necessary to ra'se the
$125,000 per year for the university
of Oregon would be a little less than
3-10 of a mill, against a tax of one
mill levied by Nebraska for Its uni
versity.
The states for which. Oregon Is en
deavoring to attract Immigration are
the great educational states , of the
middle west, such as Illinois, which
appropriates $1,000,000 each year for
Its university; Missouri, which ap
propriates $570,000 per year: Kan
sas, which appropriates $250,000 per
year; Iowa, which appropriates $538,-
000 per year; Wisconsin, which ap
propriates $1,041,000 per year;
Minnesota, which approprlaes $743,-
000 a year.
Sixty per cent of the students In
the Oregon high schools at present
have entered Nthe state from other
states In the past five years.
A referendum on an educational
appropriation will seriously hurt the
reputation of Oregon In these great
commonwealths.
The executive committee of the state
grange has strongly declared against
the referendum on the university
proposition.
