TUESDAY, JANUARY 13
University Growth And The Problem.
In five vears enrollment at the University of Ore
uon has increased 56.6 per cent. Within tho same period
tho university's millago income has increased only 6.91
per 'cent. Obviously tho university's growth is out
running its maintenance. Obviously, too, something
will have to be done about it before very much longer.
It was estimated when the millage tax law was
passed that it would take care of future ordinary needs
of the university. The estimates failed to take in ac
count two conditions which have since developed. One
is that attendance at the university has been increasing
more rapidly than anyone expected. Tho other is that
property valuations in Oregon have not been making
expected normal increases, thus retarding growtn or tne
millage tax recepits. In the first year of its operation
the millage tax law yielded for tho university $806,497.
At that time there were 1785 students. This year the
law yields to the university $862,231. Attendance will
bo 2800. '
i These figures denote a condition that cannot be
waved aside on any sort of reasoning or pretense. It is
a condition that will have to be met. There -must be
at the university growth of plant and increase of staff
because the attendance is increasing at a rate which is
great and will become greater. The state ot Oregon
cannot afford and its people will not consent that a
portion of its qualified young men and women who de
sire higher education shall be deprived of it because the
university facilities are inadequate to take them all in.
The facilities will have to be made adequate. And the
problem is an Oregon problem, .not one for Eugene or
Lane county alone.
The Governor And Cleaver.
In his message to the legislature, Governor Pierce
says of the state prohibition department: "It has been
conducted in a clean, straightforward, business-like man
ner." That statement is untrue. Everybody in Oregon
who keeps informed on what is going on knows it is
untrue. Governor Pierce knows it is untrue.
The department has not been clean. Its attaches,
or some of them, liave been caught in violations of .the
prohibition law, violations of the moral Jaw and trans
' gressions even more grave. It has not been straightfor
ward. Its attaches have repeatedly been guilty of un
warranted invasions of private and property rights.
Their methods have constantly been methods of circum
locution and evasion rather than straight-forwardness.
It has not been business-like. So little has its active
head known about hia. business that ho. has violated city,
ordinance, state law, icoerai law ana international treaty
in his blunderings. : ,!,
Governor Pierce knows all theso things and, know
ing them, knows also the statement in his message is
untrue that the slate prohibition department" "has been
conducted in a clean, straightforward, business-like man
ner;" Faced with a manifestation of insincerity which
cannot fail to be patent to all, how can readers of the
governor '8 message bo expected to acaept as sinccro his
statements on other subjects, concerning which they arc
less fully informed? Tho governor is making a grave
tactical error in trying to smear whitewash over his
incompetent and hopeless prohibition department.
Mr. DayV Harbor Development Plan.
Tho Southwestern Oregon .News, of Marshfield,
'speculates as to just what is behind tho movement
initiated by I. N. Day for a conference of officials of
Pacific coast states to promote plans for getting the
federal government to develop the secondary, harbors
ot tne coast, in order that npo timber may bo more
readily harvested than is now possible. Tho News thinks
it discerns a "mysterious ponderousness " in tho letter
written by Mr. Day to tho governor on tho subjoct, ,nnd
declares a delegation of Coos county men should bo sent
to tho confernco to protect Coos countv interests.
It is difficult to seo how nny city or district of
Oregon could receive anything but benefit from fruition
of tho Day plan, regardless of whether Mr. Day is trying
to gnnu a porsonat ax as lie goes along. It is true that
a great deal of uncut timber already is accessible in
Oregon, and that utilization in largo quantities of tho
: timber around the harbors which it is sought to have
developed would have to await tho gradual enlargement
of markets for lumber. Nevertheless, if Senator Day
has a plan which will expodilo tho development of
Oregon harbors it ought to gratify everybody and every
body ought to bo for it.
Lend a Hand, tho prisoners' newspnpor of tho Ore
gon penitentiary, has suspended publication because
thcro is nobody in prison qualified to get out tho paper.
Just as we were getting up a glow of pride- nt.tho com
pliment this condition of things seemed to imply to tho
newspaper profession, somebody with a crape-hanging
bent of mind informed us that such a condition had not
until just now existed in the penitentiary in many, many
years. ,
their parents oif the home farm. The
question of whether or not children
generally may be employed on the
farm will under the amendment be in
the bands of congress, just as it
now in the hands of the legislature.
Laws should encourage, not discour
age boys working on farms. A boj
who has not milked cows and worked
in the bay field has missed something
in education. There is nothing in the
child Isbor amendment to give
grounds for the belief that child labor
on farme will be curtailed. Congreai
will surely be as liberal in tbia mat
ter as the legislatures of the ma
jority of states hare been.
The oppression of children is not
on the farm; but in sweat shops, in
factories and mines. Such states si
will not take this protection of the
child into their own hands, should be
compelled to by federal law.
Prices and Demagogs.
(Corvallis Gazette-Times)
Demagogs are now blaming the
grain exchanges for the riseJ in the
price of wheat. Demagogs are a queer
lot. They usually blame the grain ex
changes for keeping the price of
wheat down. They have had about as
much to do with keeping it down as
they had with making the present
price high as it is. World shortage
and greutly increased exports mad
wheat go up. A big crop will bring it
down again and the jackasses who live
off credulity will announce that the
grain exchanges forced the price
down. Then they will probably begin
another agitation for governorment
price-rixing. Those who think that the
agitators learned anything from the
recent wheat rise are doomed to dis
appointment. Just as soon as it koc
down again there will be another cam
paign to put the government into the
wheat business.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS
Child Labor Amendment.
(Portland Telegram)
A well backed movement Has been
organised to kilt the proposed child
labor amendment to the federal con
stitution. Owing largely to this con
certed action Massachusetts rolled up
n majority of 400,000 against the
measure. Prior to the Massachusetts
election, Louisiana, Georgia and
North Carolina voted adversely upon
it. All these four states operate cot
i ton mills where cheap labor is profit
able. Tbs attack on the amendment is
largely aimed at the age limit to
which the federal government can
regulate labor, this age being IS
years. Tho cry is raised that thia :
nn unheard of high limit; that it is
designed to hold young people in idle
ness while their parents slave them
selves to death to support them.
This assumption Is both untrue and
absurd. The power to regulate labor
up to age 21 lies now in the states,
and in most states it is exercised. In
no state is labor prohibited nt the
older age, only guarded as to night
work, length of hours and hasardous
employment. The federal governmnet
would not contemplate any senseless
legislation on this point.
An attempt Is being mads by the
opposition to stsmprds tho agricul
tural organizations into hostility to
the amendment. They cry that this
amendment would forbid fanners tin.

Chapter CO
Nancy Dole had suddenly taken to
staying out very late at night. I had
foolishly allowed her the privilege of
taking the door key, so that iu case
wo were tired and wanted to retire
early she could get In without dis
turbing us. Her room was at the
extreme resr of the apartment and I
seldom heard her when she came
home.
One night I wss rather restless
and could not get to sleep. I heard
the clock In tho living room chime
1 o'clock, and then 2. About 2:30 I
thought I heurd a step down the hall.
I sat up in bed and listened for a
second. Then I got up and put on
my slippers and went out to sec what
it was. I thought for a minute Kent
might be ill.
When 1 reached the ond of the hall
I noticed a light burning in Nancy's
room. I could see streaks of yellow
light coming from under the door.
All the other lights were out and I
realised It must have been Nancy
whom I heard.
I went to tho dour and knocked
softly. Then 1 pushed it open a lit
tle as she did not seem inclined to
respond to my knocking.
Nancy was just removing her coat,
and her hat was still on, showing
that she had only come in from tho
street. She turned suddenly and look
ed extremely annoyed.
"Why, Nancy! You the out very
late tonight," I exclaimed, with a de
cided note of reproach in my voice.
"iVs, Mrs. Armour. 1 waa delayed.
I could not help it," she added, with
out looking at me.
"Don't let it happen again. When
t am kind enough to give you the
key, it is with the understanding that
you do nut take advantage of it.
Kleven o'clock, or even possibly 12,
la quite late enough," I said decidedly.
I felt it was much more my privilege
to feel annoyed than Nancy's. I did
not like the wsy she lisd acted. Stay
ing out so late wns bad enough I
thought.
I closed the door and went quietly
back to bed.
"After VI. she ia young and enjoys
a good time," 1 thought to myself be
fore I dropped off to sleep.
A few nights afterward when
Nancy was out again, I had it on my
mind and determined to nee what time
ahe came in and again it was past 2
o'clock In the morning before she let
herself in, ever so softly. But 1 was
listening and I heard the key iri the
lock and then her door squeaked a lit
tle as ahe tried to close it carefully
behind her. I decided to wait until
morning before speaking about it.
"What time did you get in last
night, Nancy?" I nuked the next
morning. I wanted to see if ahe
would tell me the truth.
"I think it waa about 12 o'clock,
Mrs. Armour," she said.
I must confess I was surprised that
aha would be so brazen about de
ceiving me. I was a trifle nonplussed.
I did not want to face her with the
lie, so I ended tho matter, and at the
same time tried to be stern about it.
"Very well. Nancy, but remember
that 12 o'clock is quite late enough.
If I find you staying out until 2
o'clock agaiu I shall be forced to
take the key. t hope you understand
me," I finished, and went out of the
kitchen.
But Nancy did not seem to nnder
etan. Time after time I heard her
creeping stealthily in. snd when I
turned on the little Isnp at the side of
my bed to sec the tiipe. it was very
often 1 or 3 o'clock, and even later.
Yet things went cm and 1 did not
do any more about it. I hated to
upset or worry Kent so I did not
speak to him about Nancy. Then,
too. I did not want to have a fus
with her and perhaps have to end by
discharging her. I just -closed my:
eyes to it all. and just so silently j
snd surely 1 was permitting certain '
terrible things to rush on toward a)
climax. t
