WHAT IS THEIR MOTIVE?
Malicious parties, for political
or other reasons, have succeeded
in attaching a referendum to the
bill which calls for appropriations
for the State University. What
their motives are for trying to
kill the institution no one seems
to know. There are many diff
erent prevailing ideas. Is it
matter of taxes? If so then why
don't these people who are back
of the referendum start the same
thing with the Agricultural Col
lege appropriations? Why don't
they make a howl about every
new state office that is created?
Why don't they attach a refer
endum on every appropriation,
for it is apparent that if ever an
appropriation was needed, it is
needed by the State University.
T 1 i 1
jno, tne man or tne party or
the interests who are back of the
University referendum are not
looking out for the taxpayer, for
have they not already cost the
state enough in special elections
to give the State University new
buildings and equipment? What
is their motive?
Don't forget to register before
the 20th of October.
When it gets ready to rain in
these parts it rains, and every
body knows it.
A little special effort on the
part of our citizens just before
the iair gave to our streets a
vastly improved appearance. The
results were well worth the ef
fort. There is no good reason
why this condition should not be
maintained, and for that matter,
improved upon, lhere remains
much to be done along the same
line of removing accumulated
trash heaps from the alleys, va
cant lots, etc., the building and
repairing of sidewalks, and the
dragging of the streets. The fall
rains are now upon us and they
bring mud and many discomforts.
By a little care these may be
greatly reduced and the city made
more attractive. Moreover, eve
ry man, woman and child can
contribute something to this end
by refraining from throwing pa
per and other refuse into the
streets. Nothing, certainly, is
more unsightly than fragments
of paper, peelings, cigar stubs,
lying on the sidewalks, along the
gutters, or in the roadway. Of
course, not every one is guilty ol
this practice, but enough are to
affect the appearance of the town.
Then, too, the practice is danger
ous as well as unsightly, for ba
nana and orange peelings have
caused many an accident, and fly
ing pieces of paper have caused
many a horse to run away, often
with serious consequences.

Eastern Oregon Students
Pass Resolutions of re
gret That University
Is Hampered.
Isn't it about time for the
Street Commissioners to begin to
get ready to try to make an effort
to widen Main Street at the "nar
rows" and to grade down the
road bed just north of the power
house? That ugly little reef of
rock jutting out two-thirds of the
way across the street is some
thing more than an eye-sore. It
is an obstruction to traffic and
should be run through the rock
crusher and spread upon the road
between the Main Street bridge
and the depot where it would do
some good.
"The Eastern Oregon students
of the University of Oregon take
this means of expressing their
regret that the extension of the
University's facilities has been
delayed by the referendum.
'We are in daily contact with
conditions at the University and
realize how difficult it is becom
ing to handle the fast increasing
student body without a corres
ponding increase in facilities.
"The University has had no
new building for seven years,
and the last structure erected
was a library. The appropria
tions under the referendum call
for $100,000 for a new adminis
tration and class room building,
and $75,000 to make extensions
and repairs to four other build
ings. We KNOW this added
room is greatly needed, the at
tendance having doubled since
the last building was put up.
"Deady Hall and Villard Hall,
the principal class room buildings
now, were built in 1867 and 1885
respectively.
'Pride in our state University
and a desire to see it helped rather
than hindered in becomigg the
great institution it is destined to
be, able to aid thousands as it has
aided us, prompts us, in conven
tion this day assembled, to agree
as follows:
"RESOLVED, That we urge
all people of our respective com
mnnities to register without fail
and to support the University on
November 4th in the two matters
that are so vital to its continued
progress, and
"RESOLVED. That we view
with sorrow and apprehension
the misuse of the referendum
against the just cause of higher
education by individuals whom
we believe to be actuated by mo
tives of private and personal mal-
ii ,i i it
ice, ana uy oiners who are weu
disposed but who have been mis
informed.

The People's Opportunity
The people of Oregon will be
given a splendid opportunity this
fall to rebuke corrupt political
methods, and to strike an effect
ive blow at the growing practice
of using the referendum as a
means of gaining private ends.
Both the compensation act and
the University appiopriations
were held up by private interests.
These petitions do not represent
a demand from the people of

If the compensation act and
the University appropriations are
defeated in November, the seal
of the people's approval will have
been set, by indirection, upon the
methods by which these petitions
were made, and other crooked
operators will be encouraged to
do the same reprehensible things
in the future. If these measures
are sustained, however, crooked

a jaoket around the stove. One mem
ber of the board informed me that not
only has it been possible to heat the
room much wore readily and evenly
since a jacket was put around the
stove, but that there has been an
actual saving Jn fuol. This is but
the usual report in regard to sucli
equipment. The little cont of a good
stove surrounded by a jacket com
pletely encircling the stove is small
when compared with the saving of the
time of popils and teacher. Then,
too. pupils can do so muoli more work
when the temperature is kept even
over the roo n. The floor is kept
much warmer by this arrangement,
and it is not necesnary to roast the
pupils near the stove to keep those at
a distance comfortable.
