Two Governors
As was to be expected Governor Pierce has declared that
he is opposed to the Capital Journal's suggestion for a mer
ger of the state university and agricultural college under a
common board of regents with President Kerr in charge of
the program of consolidation as head of the super-univer
sity. The executive states that within ten years the state
will have grown up to the two institutions of higher learning.
The governor's attitude is consistent, for despite his
promise to cut taxation in half, he has presented no construc
tive program of reduction and effected no economies of ad
ministration. His efforts have been devoted to securing
new sources of taxation to provide more money for tax
eaters to spend and more jobs for politicians. When it was
possible to secure two state institutions to do the work of
one, he has championedjt, as in the case of the needless new
boys training school.
In marked contrast to the attitude of Oregon's governor,
is that of Governor Hartley of Washington, as depicted in
his message to tho legislature of last week, Washington, like
Oregon, is cursed with two rival competing higher education
al institutions in constant antagonism. Mr. Hartley declares
More and mora pronounced becomes the tendency to regard the
higher educational institutions ns above and beyond state control.
The time la coming. If not already here, when there must bo a show
down as to whether these Institutions hold their right and title to
exletonce from the stu'.e or whether the state exists through sufferance
of tho Institutions of higher learning. Such perform
ances must bo stopped or educational and economic disaster will
ensue. They will never he stopped until all of the higher educa
tional Institutions are brought under the control of one governing
and directing body, clothed with ample authority to lay down courses
of action, both as to finances and curricula, and given power to com
pel compliance therewith.
Therefore, I recommend, that the boards of regents of tho State
University ond the Stale College and the hoards of trustees of the
three State Normal Schools ho abolished and all their vested powers
and duties ho transferred to a non-salaried lay board of cduuctional
administration of niiio members, appointed by the governor. '
that the present fixed tax levies for these institutions bo abolished
that no general fund appropriations he made at this session for op
erations, except the customary Items for tho Stale College to secure
ieucrni lunds and to cary on experimental work.
Has any one of the numerous candidates for governor of
Oregon the courage and stamina to publicly advocate a simi
lar reform in our own educational system, the installation of
common-sense business methods, the substitution of a com
mon control in place of divided control which always makes
for inefficiency, duplication and extravagance? Has the di
rect primary left U3 any leaders that lead instead of follow
ing along linos of least insistence for most votes? If we
have, where are they? 1

Two sleeping cars on the Washington Express were telescoped when the Western

Tootin' their Whistles
Not to bo outdone in enterprise by the Portland Journal
which pursued Santa Claus into Arctic wilds, the Oregonian
lias added to the nuisance of needless noises of the metropo
lis, a whistle. When it toots thrice, it is time to take a drink,
but once is a signal to tune in for a little static to be followed
by a wuxtra, for something has happened to somebody
somewhere. .
Thus the Oregonian keeps fearlessly abreast of the times
by tooting its whistle. Perhaps if its progressivenesa con
tinues, a shrill blast will yet herald tho discovery of the Ku
Klux Klan, or of fundamentalism, or of police graft in Port
land or other news the public has been unable to learn about
in its columns.
It is now up to tho Telegram to join the procession of
journalistic progress by installing a siren to announce its
various editions and thus contribute its share of clamor to
the babble of bedlam.
