STY OFFICIAL PAPER Make Oregon Safe for Educa tion A crisis faces the higher educa tional institutions in Oregon. It is due to causes over which these schools have no control. Had nor mal conditions regarding prices re mained with us during the years be tween 1913 and the present, these schools would have been inadequate ly cared for, because of the enorm ous increase in enrollment. Since the original millage bill went into effect in 1913, the number of full-time students at the agricul tural college and the state university has increased 150 per cent. At the agricultural college in 1913 there were 1.304 full-time students; there are now 3.378. At the state univer sity in 1913, there were 691 full-time students; there are now 1,745. The institutions have tried hard to meet maintenance costs in the face of this remarkable growth, but have been unable to do so. Add to the increase of student en rollment the diminished purchasing value of the dollar, Mr. Voter, and then you can readily see that the state colleges have been up against the very same things that you have been up against, in trying to keep up with the increased cost of liv ing. As it stands today, the increased assessed valuation of the state since the millage bills were passed in 1913 has been three and eight-tenths per cent, while the increase in student enrollment has been one hundred and fifty per cent, and the increase in j operating costs about one hundred per cent. The result of this meagre allow ance is that the schools are unable to retain the most valued instructors. as they are lured to schools in other i states where ample salaries are be- ing paid. Students are growing! wear)' of trying to attend classes in ; cramped class rooms with two hun dred and fiftv students when there should be but fifty. Buildings are deteriorating and equipment is lack ing for efficient work. There is no question about this. The tax and enrollment figures tell the story all too plainly. Higher education puts dollars into the pockets of thousands of Oregon citizens. The feat of the agricultur al college in increasing the grain output per acre has alone added more to the wealth of Oregon each year than the entire cost of higher educa tion for the same year. So has its achievement in raising the egg lay ing average and improving the live stock. Higher education is the antithesis for bolshevism and anarchy. The life of the public schools depend up on the efficiency of the higher schools. It is from the university the agricultural college and the nor mal schools that we get our teachers; and there is a woeful shortage of teachers in the United States today. Proper support of the higher institu tions only, will result in turning out efficiently trained teachers for the public schools, which is the back bone of the whole system of educa tion. Then the additional cost. Assess ed valuations in Oregon usually vary from one-third to two-thirds of the so-called "cash valuation," which in its turn is generally lower than the asked price. A man paying on $1, 000 of assessed valuation would have $1.26 added to his annual state ment. As the prefailing tax levies run, including the special levies for roads and towns and local schools, his increase would usually range from one twenty-fifth to one-fortieth. That is, it would add from two and one-half to four per cent to his an nual taxes to have the agricultural college, the university, and the state normal school of his state placed on a footing that would let them remain the equals of the higher educational institutions of neighboring and mid dle west states, and make it possible for him to educate his boy and girl at home, without going to the far greater expense of sending them away from the state. If you believe in making Oregon just as good educationally as her neighbors, and would give adequate support to the state university, the agricultural college and state normal, give No 310 on the ballot an X. As the primary election draws near we would call attention to all loyal republicans once more to the fact that Frank Curl, of Umatilla county is a candidate for delegate to the national republican convention at Chicago, and as such his name w ill appear on the ballot,. Mr,. Curl is a man of excellent capabilities, who has given freely of his time and money for the party's welfare in years gone by. This is the first time he has ever asked anything from the STEADY , AMERICA! Let Us Work This Out Together Republicans, It Is Up to Us to Elect a Real President This Fall. He Must Be the Biggest and the Soundest and the Most Effective American We Can Find. Before Committing Yourself Consider These Facts: Out of thirteen states, where the contest was between Wood and Johnson for the instruc tion of delegates to the Republican National Convention, the elections have been decided for Wood in nine. Total Number of Delegates Pledged to Vote for Wood at Republican National Convention, 321 Since the narrowing down of the field, the situa tion is generally diagnosed as follows: A vote for Hoover, for Lowden, or for Poindexter is a vote for Johnson. KEEP THE PARTY TOGETHER WIN WITH WOOD party, and its members will be con ferring a favor upon themselves and their partv should they c:W their vote for Mr. Curl. Every organization in the state that has the welfare of the state ed ucational institutions at heart has gone on record as favoring the pas sage of the millage tax measures. This must be gratifying to those no ble men and women who have car ried on the fight for fair trctament to our state university, the agricul tural college and the normal school. How much more gratifying it will be if the measures receive a hearty endorsement from the voters on the 21st day of May. Higher education in Oregon will go ahead, or be set back twenty years, just as the voters will it. a week from tomorrow. maternity; home I have arranged to take a limited number of maternity c&sea at my home in east Heppner and assure the very best attention and care to all patient.

SCRIVNER'S BLACKSMITH SHOP TEMPLAR THE SUPERFINE SMALL CAR THFi dominant tVatuiv of tho Templar car is the of exclusive Templar design, built in the Tein voiulerfully ellicient, over-head valve motor plar shops. It is unique only in the fact that it em bodies all the tried and proven ideas of modern en gine construction. The exceptional flexibility and hill-climbing ability of the Templar motor are largely due to its sturdy counterbalanced crankshaft upon which the counterweights are forged integral and is .40 carbon steel. This type of crankshaft is being used in all the finest cars. It practically eliminates vibration, giv ing the motor high speed and velvety smooth action, as the counterweights counterbalance the recipro cating weight of the piston and the connecting rods. They overcome the tendency to crankshaft distor tion due to centrifugal stress, and tend to make the crankshaft "float" freely in its bearings at all speeds. By the Templar method of eliminating separate valve-cages, the valve seats and valve stem guides are directly waterjacketed. This eliminates the pos sibility of the valves warping or sticking. Lubrication is force-feed fry gear pump to valve rocker shaft, timing gears and to all engine bearings through the drilled crankshaft.
