The only objection that has been heard as to the building of permanent buildings on the fair grounds is that it requires additional taxation. The voters Hhould not yet the idea that it 8 a one per rent tax. but only one tenth of one per cent. A farm which has an assessed valuation of fS.uOO. pays hut 3.0u. It is not a enntinuat- inp tax. but it is for this next year only. Jn votimt the tax for the im provement program, the timber re sources of the county and all public service corporations pay their propor tionate share, so that there is an equitable distribution nf the cost on all taxable property in the county.

After refusing at this time to amend the rule prohibit ing colleges having L'OO male students from using freshmen on athletic teams, which would bar Whitman college and Wil lamette university from the use of freshmen, an amendment was adopt ed late yesterday providing that sui--lenis should not W' counted in the iuo total if they take less than 12 hours of college work. This may save Willamette as she has quite a num ber of men students in special courses who take only six hours. Whitman which asked that the limit be raised to SOU, will be barred from the use of freshmen next year if that institution has mote than 2u0 male students, which she expects to have. AERIAL MAIL 0.

Among other things the tekegrara objects to the sale of apples at Auction. The obvious answer to that telegram is : ' ' (a) The Auction is daily beating private sale prices. () It is most difficult to move apples satisfactorily tX private sale. The President's own Auction is now selling Northwestern apples at Auction for the account of its own stockholders. These stockholders, who all have facilities for selling at private salo, would not sell at Auction if they were not getting better prices than they could get at private sale. (c) The Auction is not only selling Northwestern applet but Northwestern prunes and pears, as well as California deciduous and citrus fruits. (d) The Auction is the only method for complete publicity, for securing the best prices, for securing the greatest distribu tion, for cutting down sales expenses.
