THAT (mother referendum will lie invoked upon (lie
University of Oregon appropriation bill is the asser
tion of 11. J. Parkisou, who led the fight against tho appro
priation two Aears ago, and who succeeded in materially
crippling that institution by means of fraudulent petitions,
(ions. Itttt
The bills whieh it is proposed to send to the referendum
from among the appropriations for the university, are
those providing for $7o,000 for sundry improvements,
$100,000 for an administration building and .-jTJ.BJUl for
improvement purposes.
Parkisou declared that the bill providing for consoli
dation of the university with the Oregon Agricultural
College will be placed on the ballot at the earliest moment
nnd that the referendum on the buildings and improve
ments appropriations, but not on the maintenance appro
priations, has a direct bearing on a consolidation move.
The total aggregate of the appropriations for the uni
versity is $317,833 and for the Agricultural college
$605,000. Parkisou says that no referendum will be
placed to the Oregon Agricultural College appropriation
bills, either for betterments or improvements, as it is
part Of the scheme to allow the university to be maintained
and tho agricultural college to develop. He is quoted as
saying:
"There is a strong sentiment to abolish the university
and have the college at Corvallis add such studies as con
ditions and the public demand and also to take the question
cf support for tho school out of the hands of the legis
lature by providing a proper direct millage tax."
Here we have in clear outline the ultimate aim of the
controlling powers of the O. A. C. as expressed by their
political agent that docs the dirty work. The program is:
First, systematic starving of the university by refer
endiiig by fair means or foul, its appropriations and thus
preventing its growth and development; though permit
ting a dwarfed existence.
Second, the forced and unnatural growth and develop
ment, by inflation, swollen appropriations and padded
enrollments of the Agricultural College; the duplication
on a cheap scale, of university departments, and the grad
ual absorption of the vital and popular branches of uni
versity work.
Tliird. the final oboition of the university and the furth
er aggraudizment and enlargement of the Oregon Agricul
tural College as the sole state institution, for the 6. A. C
favors consolidation through swallowing its rival.
"When this shall have been accomplished, the O. A. C.
favors the millage plan of support to take it out of politics,
wncn it nas no longer need to play politics, until then
the O. A. C. will oppose the millage plan, and if it is forced
will come in for special appropriations just as the state
normal is doincr.
What is the university going to do about it? It is
allright to say public sympathy is with. the university
and sit down and wait for indication, but it reminds one of
the hunger strike of the suffragettes rather hard on the
subject.
Praise for Reames at Salem
(Salem Capital Journal. (
Thcro haB been much quiet talk
around tho legislative balls that It
Governor West adheres to his re
peatedly expressed determination to
retire from politics at the end of bts
term, his Influence and support will
go toward making Clarence I.
Ueames, the representative in tho
house from the joint Jackson-Douglas
district, his successor.
Tho Medford lawyer has repeatedly
shown himself to be ono of the ablest
and strongest members of the house,
despite the fact that he is ono of a
hopeless little minority In that body.
He Is a hard fighter, and yet fights
straight and parliamentary, and with
out Indulging In personal flings. And,
above all, he possesses a keen sense
of humor and fairness. Reames, de
spite his politics, Is one of the popu
lar members of the legislature. He
has come to tho front strong tho past
two weeks.
Ho is a close personal and political
friend of Governor West, nnd has ex
erted, perhaps, the widest Influence
In obtaining for tho governor what
few crumbs of Joy and comfort tho
latter has obtained from the legisla
ture. Leaders of tho Democratic party of
Oregon have been keeping a close eye
on the legislature, and Its few Demo
cratic members, both for campaign
material and possible candidates for
tovernor. Goislp has It that ltearacs
looks to them like splendid guberna
torial timber, and puts him ahead of
J. K. Howard, tho Douglas county
representative, who, It Is argued,
would bo handicapped as n possible
candidate for governor by tho fuct
that be is a minister.
Howard, like Ilcames, Is ono of tho
able and iiopular members of tho
homo. Tho Glendnlo preachor Is, In
addition to being pastor of a Presby
terian church, a bunker and a busi
ness man. Ho has been very actlvn
and fearless in legislative affairs, and
so broad and fair Is ho that ho pos
sesses tho confldcnco and respect of
every faction and clln.no In tho house
a somewhat remarkablo fact, con
sidering the prejudlco In many cir
cles against a minister In politics.
Howard Is also a splendid orator,
aud, liko Reames, would mako things
hum In a campaign.
