INCREASIN
THE city council has increased the city levy for the.
coming year 2.1 mills. The assessed valuation has
been slightlj reduced, but not largo enough to justify the
increased taxation. The comparitive levies for the two
years are:

The necessity for economy evidently does not appeal
to the councilmen. The same scale of expenditures gov-i
erns as when the city was spending hundreds ot thou
sands of dollars a year in improvements and f he city filled
with floating workmen from railroad, irrigation, power
plants and other developments.
The council could set a good example in economy by eat
ing off their own salaries of $23 a month apiece as a starter.
hen the big improvements were started and under way,
neither council nor inavor drew salarv. The result was
disinterested publie service from public-spirited citizens,
instead of by those whoso only interest is the $25 a month.
Neither Grants Pass nor Ashland pay salaries it is
absurd for A fed ford.
There is no necessity for city engineer, employed by
the month, nor for a plumbing inspector, wire inspector,
etc., when only a few days' work offers. A per diem rate
of compensation for actual work is sufficient. Nor is there
need of anaintaing the police force at the scale there was
with hundreds of floaters here. Nor is there necessity for
maiiitaing the street repair crew on the same scale. The
less new work there is to do, the bigger the office expense
has become. There was no necessity of buying the 1 jit tie
Butte ranch "to protect the water supply."
Before the .proppsal to increase the water rates is
acted upon, it would be well to publish a statement re
garding the receipts and disbursements of the water
worksand whether or not the sinking fund called for
is being provided out of the excess revenues. Jf not,
what becomes of it?
Let the council get down to business on a business
basis and practice economy.
EUGENE AND THE UNIVERSITY
TILE Mail Tribune is in receipt of several letters of
appreciation from residents of Eugene, as well as
from the Commercial club, for the stand the paper took
in behalf of the university appropriation. Other papers
are in receipt of similar communications.
Somejrf the letters speak of "the splendid results of
our jjampaign, as shown by the votes," and some promise
support lor tne Ashland Normal school bill "in return
for the splendid support given the university."
The intent of these letters may be all right, but the
less the people of Eugene mix up in university affairs
the better for the university. In fact, all the set-backs
administered the university have been because of Eugene
rather than because of any enmity engendered by the
institution itself.
The university belongs entirely to the state and not
in any sense to Eugene, where it happens to be located,
Mid which has for years assumed a sense of proprietor
ship. The log-rolling in its behalf by Eugene has gone
far to undo the meritorious work of the institution. Par
kinson's referendums were admittedly aimed against the
university merely to strike at Eugene.
The press of the state supported the university be
cause its cause was a .just one and because the average
newspaper is progressive in policy and an advocate of
education not because of any work done or aid re
quested by Eugene rather, in spite of it.
The Mail Tribune having always, in season and out,
advocated liberal support for the university, feels that
it speaks freely in this matter. It supported the univer
sity bills in the referendum elections of 1908, 1912 and
lUi.j, and clianipioned the mileage bill. Jackson county
barring only Multnomah and Lane, has regularly returnee
the largest majorities, not only for the university, bu
for other educational institutions-like the normals, whicl
lUi.j, and clianipioned the mileage bill. Jackson countv,

nuuvtn iiiuu- jft jiuuuiig Hcciionai aooui (jucKson county s
educational program us there has been about other coun
ties winch voted strongly for their own institutions and
against all others.
Tho referendum election again showed where the line
lies between, the progressive counties and the mo.ssback
counties of Oregon. Those "Willamette valley counties
between Multnomah and Lane have always been the heart
of mossbackism and again voted against higher educa
tion. They vote just as strongly against good roads and
oppose progress generally.
As regards the Ashland normal if it is shown to be a
meritorious measure, as we believe it to be, progressive
people will generally vote for it. The vote of Jackson
county on the university has nothing to do with the prop
osition. If it does we aro back to the old log-rolling days,
the "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" days we
hoped had gone.forever.
