The Mttlasc Tax HU1.
To the Editer:
Ii mifr seem gratuitous to be try
inj; to supplement your excellent edi
torial ot last evening on the Mlllage
Tax bill In support of the Stale Uni
versity and Agricultural college. But
the friends of edntallbn throughout
the sUEe are anxious that the peo
ple of Jackson count' should not,
through lack of information or
awakened Interest, fall, as regards
this measure, of tallying up to their
full record of general progresslve
ness. Your statement that the mlli
age tax means no Increase of finan
cial burdens for the tax payer is
precisely In accordance with the
facts. The sole gain to the institu
tions will be In aa ability to lay
stable lines of policy, and in escape
from being tossed every two years
into the legislature arena, and made
the victims ot partisan schemes and
local quarrels and logrollings. The
statement In the negative argument
in" the Voters' Pamphlet, that more
money will bo required of the pub
lic, is not accurate.
The point, however, in which I
should like to reinforce your edltor
lat is the one that our lamented
friend. Kerby S. Miller, so insisted
upon; namely, that hero is afforded
the people ot Oregon an opportunity
to settle the problems ot higher edu
cation In Ihe' state, not merely con
veniently or temporarily, bHt on
lasting and rationally large lines.
The bill provides for one board to
govern both the mala higher insti
tutions, and there is nothing- to pre
clude a later bringing of the state
normal school under the same uni
fied control. Governor AVest has
given personal guarantco that he
will appoint a board of fit and Btrong
m6n. Such a board can take up and
solvo all the" questions ot division
of work, duplications of courses,
economy ot management, or even
of ultimate consolidation, if such
should seem tb(s wise ,and necessary
thing, in a spirit superior to mere
local faction, or the pull and tug of
the ambitions of the several Institu
tions. It furthermore, the board
will, as our friend Mr. Miller urged,
engage as secretary, or In some
other capacity, an experl who will
represent, not orto institution, or one
set of educational interests, but the
educational good of the state gen
erally, 'and who, keeping in touch
with educational movement, through
out the country, and indeed, the
world, can furnish this board accu
rate and organized data, there Is no
reason why its procedure should not
be scientifically progressive and
statesmanlike, as well as merely
right minded and open minded. The
actual shaping of this particular
phase ot the matter is of course, a
subject for discussion, but tbo pos
sibilities in It ought to help make
clear that in this snlllago bill the
peoplo ot Oregon have before them a
clance,'BOt only for peace and econ
omy lu their higher, educational af
fairs, but also of an open door to
higher educational futures worthy -of
in ambitious", cburagcous, ultra
democratic coramonwpalth.
1 Very ftruly yours,
OE.ORqB JtEBEC.

INITIATIVE FREIGHT RATE BILL.
THE initiative freight rate bill, No. 358, vote ,ves, on the
ballot is a non-partisan, people's measure. It is in
the interest of the 'producer, the manufacture!, the con
sumer, and fair to the. carrier.
The principle and method or rate milking provided by
the bill is endorsed by the interstate commerce commis
sion, ihe foremost expert rate making tribunal of the
world.
The enactment and enforcement of the bill will stimu
late all industrial and commercial development in Oregon,
reduce the price of transportation to the consumer, who
ultimately pavs all freight bills.
The bill will not cancel a single commodity rate which
is less than the rates fixed by the bill. It docs not take
any authority from the railroad commission in the making
of minimum rates, nor docs it open a way for the railroads
to advance special or commodity rates, or any class rates.
The need of passing and enforcing the provisions of
this bill are. seen in the following conditions and reasens:
Only 5 cents of every dollar spent, by the Oregon con
sumer for manufactured commodities is for Oregon made
goods. 93 cents of every dollar so spent goes out of the
state for goods manufactured in other states. Under this
system which is caused by the piescnt freight tariffs the
wealth of the state is being needlessly depleted.
Under the stimulus of manufacturing Illinois in
creased in the 1910 decade over S00,000 inhabitants which
is practically 200,000 more than the entire population of
Oregon. Illinois towns under 10,000 inhabitants manu
facture $Jt to $1 manufactured for the whole state of
Oregon.
50 cents will buy 500 miles of first class freight trans
portation under the Illinois rate schedule, and only 100
miles under the Oregon rate schedule. The Oregon dollar
is' worth only 20 cents as compared, with the Illinois dollar.
The. leading railroads of Illinois earn about $3,000 net
per mile Of road; Nebraska roads earn about $1,500 net per
mile, while some of the Oregon roads earn $0,000 net per
mile of road.
Prom 1906 to 1.910 the O. R. & N. company paid $109
per share on stock of par value of $100, returning to the
stockholder the full value of the stock and $9 to boot per
share. In 1908 this road paid 79 per cent on its stock.
In 1910 it paid 15 per cent oil its Common stock and 17 per
feent on its preferred stock.
The Southern Pacific company is capitalized at over
506 millions of dollars. Its only tangible property is 11. S
miles of railroad in California worth jirobably less than
$250,000, Its earning right is on the 11. S miles of road,
or about $12,000 yearly. And yet this company is paying
dividends yearly in excess of $17,000,000, and together
with interest on its bonds, about $21,000,000 yearly. JDvery
dollar so paid in excess of its earning rights on the 11.8
miles of toad is filched from the people, therefore robbery.
The people arc the power. It is for you ib say whether
you will longer tolerate these conditions. A vote yes for
the initiative freight bill is a vote for better transportation
charges aud the upbuilding and blessiug to the whole state
of Oregon. The bill does not favor any one; it does not
discriminate against anjr one.
This is a state measure and cannot affect interstate
business.
