JANUARY 19. 1933 C L O S IN G BY S T R A N G U L A T IO N Despite the m andate of the people at the last election there seems to be state officials and legislators who would close the University of Oregon by strangulation. The uni­ versity has already taken a 47.2 per cent cut in appropria­ tions the past two years but there are those who would trim it farth er to get money to operate state departm ents which have not cut th eir budget a cent. As loug aa th ere art» $2000 men rattling around in $5000 or $6000 pay Jobs in Salem there is room for cutting at the capital. Expenses have to come down, we all realize, but cuts should not be made in one spot. If fu rth e r c u ts are to be made in higher education we should do aw ay with all extension work before we close any cam pus schools. If the future generation is to pay off our bonded debts then they are entitled to a fair education as preparation for the big task. ---------- «---------- FLOATING A LOAN Lane county is considering borrowing $30,000 through the state from the R econstruction Finance corporation for relief work on county roads. According to Raymond B. Wilcox, chairm an of the Statew ide Relief Council, in his re­ port, "each county is liable for its own obligations and m ust repay the sta te from its share of the Motor Vehicle License fund as th e m oney is withheld from the state by Congress." Lane county has already pledged its license fee money to the sta te as its share in payment of the hundreds oi thousands of dollars in state road work that has been go­ ing on in th is county the last two years. This was made an issue in th e fall cam paign when the new m em bers of the county court were elected. It will now be interesting to note w hat a ttitu d e the court will take in further pledging license fee m oney for advanced funds by the state for road construction. ----------«---------- Up to S aturday night congress had been in session a month at $100,000 a day. Actually some half dozen minor bills had been passed or about as much work as a good city council would do in one evening's meeting. Nor were these bills of any higher caliber than comes before a city council. Several of them were ordinances for the city of W ashington and o thers w ere regulation of congressmen and employees pay day d ates so they would have money for Christmas. — — — About the tim e we hear about the V eteran's State Aid commission being in a bad way with 25 per cent delinquen­ cies. we also hear th a t the State of Oregon has borrowed $500,000 from th e commission in order to pay expenses. After all the state aid commission is a handy thing to have around. M ultnom ah county with 35 per cent of the state's popu­ lation has 50 per cent of the sta te ’s unemployed. Seems like tim es are even harder in the cities. •»> We feel sorry for those lame duck congressmen.

Our state changed governors this year, as did m an y others. But it is not the political, but the dietary h ab its that a ttra c t my attention picked up by the “nosey” re p o rte r for the daily Pre««. Both incom ing and outgoing governors are lawyers; th e o u tg o er is a large-city resident—the incom er is from a sm all county-seat town - a life resident. The city man has city h ab its— the small-town man has habits peculiar to the country. Both men are said to be very healthy. The coun­ try Jurist Is strikingly robust; he rises at day-break,—“goes to bed with th e chickens.” We know the city man does just th e opposite of th at. The reporter gives us a glimpse a t the b rea k fa st of the two men—in striking contrast. "T he p resent chief executive takes a breakfast which consists only or orange juice and black coffee.” “T he newly-elected executive actually wants fried chicken for breakfast, according to his wife, who does his m eals; if he cannot have the fried chicken, he wants a b reak fast steak, or country ham, or sausage.” R eaders of my letters will recall my insistence on good b reak fasts for th e hard worker. No man is fit for a heavy d ay ’s work, on a breakfast of orange juice and coffee. Chances a re th is type of man will consume the big steak, ham or sausage for SUPPER,—the hour when the body, brain, nerves and stom ach are tired out. The country jurist—our next governor is right; lie builds a good fire under the boiler in the morning. He is fortified for th e day's struggle. He will be less tired at d o s ­ ing time. He will eat a light meal “to sleep on.” His arter- will last. He will outlive the city jurist. » COOLIDGE . . . . who knew h,m r (Tst Installm ent 1 knew Mr Coolidge lea» well thun I have known every other "L" k doesn't laM. . . ." ,, It was with those words ringing In pre»ld nt of tht past ,orty year. wr carx ,h.u |\iul„x-woke on her wed That waa not strange, since few duw mornmK t,, (ind the sunshine pour- people esn really claim to have ing in at her window. * “l.ove doesn’t last It seemed known him well. strange that the ime thought in her mind on this stay of alt days should be I asked the late Nicholas Loug >f those words in Harhaia Stark'» let- worth, when he was speaker of the ter which had arris cd late last night house and Mr. Coolidge was presi­ Barbara was Pauline's best friend. for reasons that both of then, would dent. who knew Coolidge best. “I suppose I know him as well as anybody."
