Editor Democrat: In your issue of the loth I note an article purporting to have been ta ken from a California paper and pub- Ji8hed by request of a Eugene Lady. Is it not a little singular that our kind inteBrhebs?Tn0n 7 T interest m our welfare. Supposing for sake of argument, that this article really eminated in the fertile brain of the Editor ofThe Oxnard, Cal. Courier would it not be dramatic indeed for our boss ridden boodle loving Herrin Shield ing, Rcuf-Schmitz-Calhoun forgiving neighbors to so concern themselves in our referring the $125,000 continual ap propriation for the U. of O. to the vo ters of the state. He says, Oregon spends about $47,500 for higher educa tion, while in fact the U. of O. alone nas Deen spending over $80,000 accord ing to affidavits of one of the friends of the appropriation, now on file in the secretary of states ofliee for the last two years while the pay roll of the in stitution for salarys &c, are $57,500, and the four Normals aggregate $113, 000 bienniully to wit: Drain $21,000. Weston $25,000, Ashland $31,000, Mon mouth $36,000, this does not include the appropriation for the O. A. C, he then refers to California appropriation of "nearly $136,000", he does not tell us that the State University and agricul tural college are together as ours should bo and thus curtail expenses. Then again he refers to Washington as appropriating $600,000 for new build. , ings. Why didn't he tell it straight, that these buildings were to be con .' structed for the Seattle-Yucon Exposi i tion and then will be turned over to , 11. 11.1. XT .1 . .
