IS A POSSIBLE COLLEGE
STUDENT
Oregon sends a bigger percentage of
its children to college than any other
state, without exception.
THAT IS ONE OF THE STATE'S
PROUDEST RECORDS
No state can have too much educa
tion. Education Is the safeguard ot
freedom and of right, and higher edu
cation is the capstone of the public
school system. But higher education
In Oregon, is in great danger. The
State University and the Agricultural
College have twice as many students
as they have Income to train.
PROTECT THESE SCHOOLS AND
THEIR (jIREAT WORK
by voting on May 21 for the Higher
Educational relief measure. Higher
Education pays the state in dollars
and cents, in Improved living, In sci
entific progress, in farm, orchard,
garden, and stock ranch deevelop
ment, and In the better quality of Its
public and high school teaching.

Do You Want to Lose $328,600?
That is just the amount of cold, hard cash Morrow
urc Fails to Carry.
The State Highway Fund is Practically Kxhausted.
No more Road Hands can he issued until the people of the
State authorize an increase in Road Bond Indebtedness from 2 per
cent to 4 per cent. That is what the 4 per cent Road Bond Limit
Measure means.
MORROW COUNTY is now expending $i4fV0 of county
money grading the Willow Creek section of the Oregon-Washington
Highway. The State Highway Commission is supposed to fin
ish the road by expending an equal amount putting a rock surface
on the new grade. If the Commission has made any provision for
doing this work from the small amount of State Road Funds ct
available from former bond issues, nobody knows it. The commis
moii ha made no definite statement to that effect.
The State I lighway Commission is Up Against it for money
to continue the road-building program if the 4 per cent Road I'.oiid
Limit fails.
If the State Commissinn is unable to finish the Willow
Creek Road Morrow County not only loses $i4Xxx) of State
Money on that road, but it also standi to lose a large amount of
the County Money already expended through the Mowing away
and washing away of the new grade. Can Morrow County afford
to lose more than $l4x on Willow Creek?

Here is the Proposition.
MORROW COUNTY has appropriated $70.0 of county
money to grade the Heppner-1 lardman-M onumcnt road and has
already paid for the survey. Under the law the State will match
this amount of $70.(xx and the federal government will also put
up at least an additional $70,000, making at least $140,1x10 the
county should receive from outside sources for the improvement of
this road. The State Highway Commission has definitely stated
' that if the 4 per cent Bond Measure fails they will have no money
to put into the Hepptier-lIardman-Monument road.
