An annual tax of 1.26 mills' was voted at the May election by
the people of Oregon for the support of the state institutions
of higher education, the Oregon Agricultural college at Cor
vallis, the State university at Eugene and the State normal
school at Monmouth.
To secure the pas3age of these measures, the officials of
the educational institutions assured the public that the in
creased support thus insured would be adequate to provide
for their present and prospective needs and would take the
institutions out of politics and prevent further appeals to the
legislature fo additional funds. It was upon these grounds
that The Capital Journal ana oiner newspapers supiwiu

When a producer's income fails to equal his expenditures,
he cuts expenses until they meet, or goes bankrupt. When
a consumer of public money fails to live within his stipulated
income, he indulges in legislative log-rolling to increase an
already exorbitant taxation to make the people pay the bill.
Retrenchment is the last thing on the program. The efficient
public servant is the one that lives within appropriations and
yet maintains standards and progress. He has the producers
or taxpayers viewpoint. Whether the public servant who
constantly spends more than his appropriations and is always
clamoring for more, if efficient, is questionable.
The mass of people, who so cheerfully voted double taxa
tion upon themselves for higher educational purposes can not
help but view with dismay the Oregon Agricultural college's
insatiable demands for more money, at a time when prudence
in all business calls for economy and. retrenchment until
normal conditions have supplanted the abnormal conditions
of the reconstruction period.

And after that Sandy .bought

then. 'T-ve never eaten any; but
I've' heard they are very good."

And while he was searching. Sandy
Chipmunk took six ears of green

"I don't seem to have any pea

"Well have you any nutmegs?'
Sandy inquired.
"And while L tide Sammy was
looking for nutmegs, Sandy Chip

Uncle Sammy Coon had to admit

for almonds and Brazil nuts and
pecans, though he knew wejl
enough that nothing of the sort

By the time Uncle Sammy stoo

had carried the corn away and hid
it in a good, safe place. He thought
that if he left it to dry it would
make just as goon rood for winter
as the wheat Uncle Sammy had

happened.
That night, long after Sandy
Chipmunk had left the store, Uncle
Sammy Coon had a great surmise
When he went to the basket, to
get some green corn for his sup

"That's queer!" Uncle Sammy
Coon exclaimed, fit was full this

time. And after a while he said
