SAVE THE UNIVERSITY:
Rcgardleaa ol what may or may not be the attitude of
other parts of the state toward the recent radical ruling oi
the hoard ol higher education we in lame county m ust save
the University of Oregon. The two million dollars the uni­
versity brings into I^ane county each year, the educational
and cultural influence, it has upon this community can not
be sacrificed as our magnificent contribution to so-called
economy.
We would be utterly foolish and regret it the rest of our
lives if we ttood idly by and watched the university divided
up between Portland and Corvallis. Yet that will be exactly
what will happen if raids on the institution are perm itted to
continue There is ample proof in the hands of those w ho
have been studying this recent move of the hoard of higher
education closely to indicate what will be done just as soon
as those politicians behind the move dare do it.
There have been many sius committed in the name of
economy and it is easy to take advantage of the people when
tax reduction is desired. But the biggest sin ever com m it­
ted in Oregon will he the m utilating of the higher education­
al stru ctu re in the nam e of economy while $15,000 jobs are
created and plans made for huge office and traveling ex­
penses necessary to carry out the new order.
The S tate of Oregon is unfrotunate indeed to have
members of the board of higher education who are actuated
in their decisions by purely selfish motives. One member of
the board is trying to build up a political organization, a n ­
other m em ber is "out to get" the president of the university
and one or two others have questionable aspirations Surely
it is a sorry condition for higher education to be judged by
such a crowd. The best interest of the state will not pre­
vail when such a condition exists.
It is highly im portant th at strictest economy be prac­
tised !n governm ent and all public activity at this time. Even
if the cost to the taxpayers of higher education has only in­
creased one per cent in the last ten years in the face of
great increased enrollm ent (while our public schools have
increased costs 50 per cent), the expense of operation
should be kept down. Economy m ight better be brought
about by reduction in salaries, building expense and the cur­
tailing of extension work—not by experim enting with new
and radical methods.
No doubt but there will he a battle in the next legisla­
ture over the higher education problem. We should elect
no man to the legislature w ho does not- stand for the pro­
tection of the University of Oregon, l^ane county's interests
can not be sacrificed on the a lta r of false economy.

We can not look upon these who marched away so bravely, but
who now go about In ca ts or suffer from gas poisoning or some other
ailment that is the result of their service, without being convinced
that war is a dastardly thing. Their suffering is tragic, although they
do not complain much. We pension them, and the government cares
for them, but that does not bring back to them the health they once
had. That does not bring back to them the ability to do things that

ability to enjoy spurts and other things that ether men of their age

A ROCK IN A WEARY LAND
When 1 was fifteen years old my father took me into
his study and gave me a talk about life insurance. He was
a preacher, with a large family and a small salary.
"Paying my premiums has kept me poor, and often in
debt,” he said, "but I am well rewarded. I can lie down and
sleep soundly at night.”
In order fo bring the lesson home, he applied for $3,000
of life insurance on the tw enty payment plan for me, saying
th at he would carry it until I had graduated from college
and I could go on with it from there.
Tw enty years seemed longer at that time than a hun­
dred years seem now. 1 wondered if I would ever live to
the ripe old age of thirty-five, when the polit ies would be
paid in full.
Wei’, I have lived that long, and these policies, and
some others, are all paid up. Rather himself lived long and,
having educated his children and seen them all started, he
casiied in his insurance and was com fortable in his old age.
R< inenib- ling this lesson, I have signed my checks for
premiums very cheerfully, but never with so much satisfac­
tion as during the past two years.
In a period when alm ost everything one owns is tum bl­
ing it is great to know th at one investm ent, at least, is just
as good as It promised to be. Nothing has happened to any
of the big insurance companies, and nothing will.
1 was reminded of this the other day when I attended a
convention of insurance salesmen. They were lull of human
interest stories
Said one "A business man walked into my office and
asked for an application blank. He said that two years ago
he was worth $200,000, and thought that he and his family
were safe from financial worries forever. Now the $200,000
is lees than $50.000. His only hope of independence is
through system atic savings as represented by paym ents of
life insurance premiums.”
Another told ol a man who asked: "I am thirty-five and
have to start all over again. W hat kind of a policy can you
offer me that will insure me a competence at six ty ?”
We wen- ail carried off our feet by the new theory of
Investments in 1029. Bonds anti insurance were out of date.
Common stocks were the one sure way to fortune.
Now the pendulum has swung hack. The old-fashioned
ideas are in styh again. It is a time when insurance com ­
panies ought to double their advertising, anti insurance
salesm en theii efforts.
When we were prosperous we sometimes regarded
these salesmen us a nuisance. Today their wares are "as
rivers of w ater in a dry plat e; as the shadow of a rock in
a weary land.”
