Knurtj at loafii looe, Orr ptl-ortu-a a iHKvM-Waaa mHr Subscription. $1.50 Pai Year Tho causu of filucatiou shoulJ U Unr 10 the Umt of every true citizen. It is trita to gay that ippul'lio must have an tJueau-1 vjtijislup. Hero in Oregon, with our frxperiinvnts in direct legislation ami in other rejects looking towanls also luio democracy, tho imperative need of a wiJo-spreal iutel licenco is undtniftbU t)rt';on is u conservative state in many ways, despite tho radical de parture in governmental meth ods. Iler progress along ed ucational lines has been slow, and even yet her Mippori of higher institutions is fur below that of other states. Tho state normal school at Monmouth is an example in point. Two years ago, its appropriation was held up by referendum, though sustained by the people at the polls. "This year, it must be conducted on subscription and at the personal sacrifice of the faculty, because of an executive veto. One of the measures to be voted upon in the June election is the referendum on the State University Appropriation. The qualified voters are to decide upon the meits of $125,000 for this institution. This bill was passed by the legislature, vetoed by the governor and then re passed by an almost unanimous vote. We believe that the people should sustain the bill by a large majority, not alone because the measure i3 meritor io s but for the reason that this is a crisis in the cause of higher education in this state. The defeat of the bill at this time will put Oregon back twenty-five years in her ed ucational development and in vite the most odious com parisons with her neighboring states, with whom she is engaged in the keenest competition for the new settlers now pouring upon the Pacific coast. The unparallelled develop ment of the states of the Miss issippi valley has been coinci- dent with the establishment and growth of their educational system. The large majority of prospective settlers upon this coast come from these and other communities with progressive educational ideas. Idaho, Wash ington and California are not slow to . publish broadcast through their press anything detrimental to Oregon and just now they are making much of the threatened disaster to our State University. California with its appropriation of $822, 148 for the State University, Washington with $500,000 and even little Idaho with $129,000 per annum naturally , regard Oregon's proposed $125,000 as parsimony. What they think of the proposal to deny even this may readily be imagined. . . We do not believe that the intelligent, sober-minded voters of Polk county will turn down this appropriation. We must register our opinion on the mat ter of higher education in no uncertain way. The vote ofj Polk county two years ago on the normal referendum was used with telling effect in the legisla ture against the Monmouth nor mal, Polk's one state institution.

Inquire of S.B.Irvine, Independence, Or, 4-2tf CONTRACT HAS Construction Work to Begin Im mediately on Cannery.

There are communitien where quality arguments would have no weight, but tnere are many more that can be convinced that quality pay9 it the right argu ments are used. Quality arguments are some times slow trade builders, but they build exceeding strong. Bargain Goods are only a bargain to those who have not the money with which to buy the best; but there i3 generally ii hole in the bargain. If vou simpiv want bargain goods, pay the cheap price and cet them. If you want abso lutely the best, the ' kinds that bring you back, pay more and get more. Quality has been behind every business that has built up a solid reputation. . , I believe in Quality and guar antee the quality of all my goods' to those who wish the best. FS.
