An Appeal In Favor of Millage
Tax for Educational Institutions
(Continued from last week)
Classroom conditions at the college
and university are almost impossible.
U it; natural that they should be when
it I;-, remembered that the buildings
of I!' 13 were even then insufficient,
and that the number of students has
increased ten times faster than class
room space. Out of the dozens of pos
sible illustrations there is room in
these two pages for one or two only.
At the university the sciences have
the laboratory and classroom facili
ties sufficient for an institution of
about 700, instead of one of 1745.
The university library was built when
the studentbody numbered 400, and
has study facilities for 211 at one
time. At the Agricultural college
students are shifted all over the
camuuB to find room at all. then are
constantly crowded Into wholly un
suitable quarters. The teaching ef
ficiency of the two institutions Is fast
beinc broken down by lack of class
; rooms and laboratories.
The cost of living has risen prob
ably about DO per cent, in Oregon
since 1915. Faculty salarles'at the
! university, college and normal have
I advanced about 20 per cent, since
that time. The result has been
I steady loss to the state from its best
j faculty material. Teachers cannot be
i expected to stay on indefinitely out
of loyalty when they '.r.ive to borrow
from banks, or dip Into previous sav
ings to keep their families supported

i that helped win the war were contri
butions of college professors or college-trained
men. Educated men and
women produce more and save more
The arrival in the business and indus
trial world in the last fifteen years of
a great number of young men of
broad university training has helped
make America the business and in
dustrial leader of the world. It has
helped bring the worker and the em
ployer closer together, and to im
prove the social and financial posi
tions of the former. Higher education
in Oregon has been one of the strong
est factors in bringing in settlers to
populate a vast region that at the
present average only nine persons' to
the square mile.
Assessed valuations, in Oregon us
ually vary from one-third to two-
thirds of the so-called "cash valua
tion," which In Its turn is generally"
lower than the "asked price." A man
paying on $1000 of assessed valua
tion would have $1.26 added to his
annual statement. As the prevailing
tax levies run, including1 the special
levies for roads and towns and local
schools, his increase would usually
range from one twenty-fift'.i to one-
fortieth.
That is, it would add from two
and one-half to four per cent to his
annual taxes to have the agricultural
college, the university and the normal
of his state placed on a footing that
ould let them remain the equals of
the higher educational institutions of
Ighboring and middle west rtates,
