But In spite o f this, if a measure promises to be of material benefit to the state or county, additional trxes to pro mote it are willingly voted. But in deciding which are so impor tant that money must forthwith be provided for them, and which are not pressing or can without, detriment be either abandoned or indefinitely postponed, a nice discrimination in values is re quisite. The test applied is usu ally a material one. This is es pecially true of those who have toiled long and hard for what they have accumulated. Their manner of life has been such that their senses are dulled to the finer things o f life which cannot lie estimated in dollars and cents. When such is the prevalent disposition life becomes sordid and gross. The law o f life was enunciated centuries ago “ Man shall not live by bread alone.” If he attempts so to do the results are disastrous to him self and more or less to the com munity. Full support and en couragement should be given to everything which tends to lift life above the material and ani mal level. Thecommunity should welcome and foster cnurches, schools or any other institution which enhances the value of life. As the state has assumed a position of responsibility tor education, it should lc n m tha it should t»e supplied with ample funds for adequately carrying out this responsibility. Money thus expended proves in the end the best kind of investment in developing the intelligence, cul ture and morale of the rising generations. Knowledge is pow er and the truth shall make us free, and the end of education is for the inculcation of the one and the unpartation of the other. A measure to provide an addi tional levy for the support of the T Diversity of Oregon, the State Agricultural College ami the Normal School is to be submitted to the voters at the coming elec tion. These three institutions of higher education, are facing a financial crisis due to causes over which they have no control and which threatens to compell them if not to close their doors, to turn away a large number of ap plicants. As these causes have been fully set forth in the daily papers, it is not necessary to re produce them in our columns; space forbids for .one thing. But The N e w s earnestly urges its readers to vote an emphatic “ Y E S ” for the College Millage Tax. I f these institutions are prevented from lack o f means to properly fulfill their mission, it will be a disgrace to the state, injuring it in more ways than one, and in the end prove the most foolish and shortsighted policy. Cash and Carry IT is the only system— why not get on the band wagon and save that 10 per cent? Time For Oregon SOM E People to Think The special session o f the leg islature did not confine itself to the purpose for which it was called together but imposed new state taxes totalling 3.57 mills. The regular session had al ready voted 1.20 mills additional state levy that will also go on the ballot at the May election, making a total of new state lev ies of 4.77 mills to be enacted by the people. The regular state levy made in December to be collected this year was 3.23 mills, and if all that goes on the ballot is author ized by the voters in May the to tal state levy will be eight mills. The jump from 3.27 to 8.GO mills made by the legislature may not all be sanctioned by the voters and they will be acting wisely to vote no on matters not absolutely essential. I f on top of this the voters of Oregon should be so shortsighted as to pass the measure to amend the Oregon constitution to limit the legal rate of interest to 4 and 5 per cent, this state would be in a sad predicament. It would be drained of money like a cocoanut is of milk. Let the people think.—Oregon Weekly Industrial Review, few articles to draw trade. ces on everything.

W ater alone will remove some dirt if applied with enough “ elbow grease.” But people use soap because it cleans more easily and better than water alone.
