Highest yesterday 58 Lowest tills morning. 31 ribu IE (J Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. THE NINTH measure on the state ballot on election day continuing this discussion, of which you may be heartily weary by thla time Is ,the bill that proposes to move the Uni versity of Oregon from Eugene to CorvaUls, the normal schools from LaGrande, 'Ashland and Monmouth to Eugene and the law school from f Eugene to Salem. Its purpose Is reasonably plain from this statement. It backing, unfor tunately, la not as plain as Its pur pose, for thoss who furnished the money for the petitions to get It onto the ballot and for the campaign for tt since that time, have refused per sistently to mske themselves known. Evidently they are not proud of It. Vf-WE CLAIM la made that moving 1 the university to CorvaUls, the normal schools to Eugene and the 'law school to Salem will save the .rvr millions. To this writer. It doesn't sound reasonable. If you ever moved from one house to another, you know that moving costs a lot of money. It will cost the ' taxpayers of Oregon a lot of money to put their Institutions of higher education on wheels and move them all over the atate. i(H YES." you may say, "but we'll J save a lot of money afte et them all moved around." But that argument doesn't seem to hold water, for figures compiled and published by the government Indicate that cost of higher education per siu. dent is HIGHER In states having consolidated schools than In states having separate schools. If that Is true, we will LOSE money Jnstead of saving It. THE GOVERNMENT bulletin that contains these figures offers an interesting reason why higher educa tion oosta more per student In states having consolidated schools than In those with separate schools. The combined lobby, It says, la apt to bluff the legislature whereas seps rate lobbies are Inclined to offset each other. That Is to say. when one scnooi wants a new library, for example, the ether Is Inclined to work against It, It sounds reasonable. Aa a matter of fact, we have seen It work out In practice here in Oregon. ANOTHER point of particular uv terest to lis down here: Southern Oregon has only ONE stats institution the normal school at Ashland. Just how we ever hap- nened to get that nobody knows, Probably It waa an accident. At any rate, the school moving bill will take It away from us. THIS writer can see no merit In the school moving bill, thinks it would lead to endless confusion and added expense believes personally that It Is a real estate promotion scheme, although admitting that there Is no proof of that atatement which would stand up In court, and expects to vote AGAINST It. rt-iHE TENTH measure on the ballot 1 Is known as the "tax and debt control constitutional amendment.'' It Is merely an enabling act, permit ting legislation to be passed providing further limitation and control of the power to levy taxes and Incur debt. It la sponsored by the Oregon Tax payers' Equalization and Conservation league, and its purpose is laudable enough. This writer is in sympathy with its purpose, which is reduction of taxation, and expect to vote tor ltposslbly on the theory ot being willing to try anything once. B UT let's not get the Idea that we nd permanently simply by passing a law. Here In Oregon, where we have direct legislation, the people oan up set by their votes any law which they PASS by their votes. One process Is aa simple and easy as the other. If people WANT to apend money, thus Increasing taxes, they will spend It law or no law, limitation or no limitation. If there la no law per mitting It they will make one. If they want to spend the mony. and If there is a limitation FORBIDDING the trending they will upset the limita tion. (Continued on Pace Four) Roseburg Band Leader Passes ROSKBURG. Ore..

Practically all the candidates will take to the air the coming week with stump speeches In the cities Bnd country. James W.
