Low f Prices HIGHER EDUCATION CENTRALIZATION IN STATE PROFITABLE ' i J of complexly eentnund operation of Oregon's svstm of state-supported higher education nss, Its leaders atat, produced practical results rerer attained under separate administra tion of institutions. Increasing effectiveness under con ditions of more complete organization and more adequate financial support la Indicated, according to the bi ennial report to the governor by the state board of higher education. The principle established by the law In Oregon and put Into operation by the board." said Wlllard L. Marks, president of the board of education. 'is a state-wide service through the cooperative work of all Institutions. Oregon cannot support separate In stitutions, each complete In Itself. Rather, each Institution must occupy a distinctive field as a part of the state system. Chancellor W. J. Kerr said full results of the program can yet hardly be appraised as all activities have been under the necessity of extreme economy never contemplated by the commission which outlined the funde. mental reorganisation plan. The chancellor pointed out, how ever, that despite the severe financial handicaps under which the system has been launched, achievements to. ward cooperation and coordination for economy and balanced efficiency have been notable. Without unified control, it was said, continuation of all of the six Institutions on less than two-thirds of their former in come would have been Impossible. AS MEIER'S LAST ACT SALEM, Jan. 15 (AP) Among the last official acts of Governor Julius L. Meier here yesterday was the granting of two conditional pardons, One to Charles Reynolds of Lincoln county, who was serving a life term In the state penitentiary for a statu tory offense while armed with a dan- gerous weapon, Reynolds was received at the penitentiary August 7, 1915 and had served 30 years. Governor Meter said the prisoner's partner In the crime served only 13 years. The other pardon was Issued -to George C. Wahl of Columbia county who was received at the penitentiary May 38, 1934, to serve a term of ten years for larceny. Records show that Wahl's accomplice was acquitted after a brief trial. Both Reynolds and Wahl must report to the state parole officer monthly. SIX AGE PENSIONS At the last meeting of the old age pension board for Jackson county, six pension applications we're ap proved, five held under advisement for future consideration, and seven rejected. One rejection was due to lack of sufficient residence In Oregon, one because of failure to sign property release in favor of the state, as re quired by law, one because the ap pllcant has Income In excess of what the pension would be, and sufficient for present needs, and four because the board felt the sons and daugh ters of the applicants were able to care for them.

Associated Press Foreign Staff. BERLIN. Jan. 15. ( API Relchs fuehrer Hitler, congratulating 8aar landers . today on their vote to re turn to the retch, said "your de cision gives me the possibility of contributing a solution to Europe's problems. "Once we have attained equality we can cooperate In those tasks of International solidarity which are so necessary for pacification of the world." the leader said. In an Impassioned radio address Hitler asserted he regarded the Saar vote as "a decisive step on the road to ending the most terrible and the most unfruitful fight that tore Euro pean nations asunder." The plebiscite, he said, "means that the indissoluble unity of the German people once again has been demonstrated. Oermany thanks you from millions of hearts." Church bells rang throughout Ger- many when the result was an-1 nounced. . Schools were closed for the day ! after a short and solemn ceremony celebrating the victory. Flags ap peared as If by magic and torchlight parades and mass meetings were ar ranged by nazla to close the "his toric day.' Pupils had been ordered to reach their classes by 8 a.m. to listen to the plebiscite broadcasts. In factories throughout the relch all workers were called together to hear the results,. Hitler In his radio broadcast, said: "Our success was huae because the voice of blood and reason decided and not the treaty of Versailles, which promised the world peace but brought unrest. Neither force nor persuasion could influence you. I express the gratitude of the Oerman nation for your loyalty. Tou dear saarlanders cannot Imagine how happy all we Germans feel at this moment. Tou may be proud to be Germans. During the coming years you win be representa tives of the German people and the German relch. I know you will remain loyal under the most difficult circum stances. I ask you once more to keep the strictest discipline, for even at this late hour there may be some who will try to provoke incidents. The German people will thank you the more for your discipline." RELIEF RECEIVERS The state liquor commission yes terday called upon Jackson -county, through the district attorney's office to aubmlt Its indigent and relief roll to the liquor board; for the purpose of checking them with the permits Issued for purchase of liquor. Under the Knox law. "the commia slon shall have the power to revoke ' the liquor permit of any. person re ceiving work or relief, from any pub He relief agency."

Governor Martin declared In his mes sage that the executive now has "sur prisingly little direct and effect ail control over the administration of the affairs of the state. "Therefore, it will be my purpose to submit to you from time to time measures which will enable me to more effectually discharge my duties. The measures which I shall propose are not Inspired by selfish motives or by any personal desire for more power, but are prompted solely by the desire that the governor shall be given the power and control over the administration of state govern ment that la commensurate with the responsibility reposed upon him oy virtue of his office. Furthermcre, most of the measures to be proposed arc not newly conceived ideas, but haw been repeatedly advocated by governors of this state." Concerning the need for a more stable and systematic plan of financ ing and administering public schools, the governor said: School Economy Needed. "There Is a growing tendency in other states, as well as Oregon, to wards centralization of responsibility for the operation of schools. This tendency has manifested Itself In Ore gon during recent years through the urgent appeal of distressed school districts for financial support from state sources of taxation and through the universal cry of property owners for some relief from the burden of taxes. Experience has proved that no marked degree of economy, finan cial stability or educational leader ship can be attained under a system of a multiplicity of small Independ ent, and often conflicting, tax-levying school districts." "In Oregon, we are confronted with the situation of having expended In 1934, even on greatly reduced bud gets, about (16.914.000 of property taxes through some 3300 different school districts. Under this system, flagrant Inequalities have developed, both In the cost or and the facilities afford for common school education. Samples of such inequalities are: "A tax levy In mills of .3 In one district and 35.4 in another of Tills- i mook county: a tax per pupil enrolled of (5.41 In one district and $888.41 In another of Douglas county; a tax per teacher of (17.68 In one district and (7,838.33 In another of Lane county; assessed valuation per puoil or (1.004.11 in one district and (94, 136.49 In another of Clackamas couu ty; aAsessed valuation per teacher of (34.475 in one district and (833,887 In another of Umatilla county."

Comparison indicates that these county unit school districts have had less diffi culty with tax delinquencies and have been opersted more economically and efficiently than the average of the school districts in the other coun ties. If sll of the counties hsd taken advantage of the county school unit law. we would have only about 75 administrative units In the place of 2200. as at present. Each county would have one school district and in addition, all first-class districts would have remained as separate dis trict units as at present." "I recommend that the first thing to be done In dealing with the prob lems relating to our common school system is the enactment of a law amending section 35-830 Oregon code, 1930. as amended by chapter 346 Ore gon laws, 1933. known as the county school law, so that the law shall be come effective on June 15, 1936. In every county In the state, unless. prior to March 1, 1936. upon petition of 10 per cent ot the registered vot ers, an election be held In a county, at which a majority of voters aha 11 reject the law, By this amendment, the optional feature of the present law will be eliminated and it will be come effective In all counties on June 15. 1936, except In the counties in which It may be rejected by a refer endum vote." the governor declared Plan Board Needed, The third message stated that "In order to formulate a worthwhile and long-range program ror the progres sive and systematic development of the resources of our state and to place Oregon definitely In line with the national recovery program and the policies of the President of the United States, the scope of the duties and functions of the state planning board of necessity have been broad and diverse," another message read. "The research required for Intelli gent planning will entail the expen diture of a substantial sum of monoy; but It Is expected that the Invest ment so made will soon bring to the people of Oregon returns far more valuable and far-reaching In their benefits." 4 ON REED PARDON Governor Julius L. Meier took no action, before he retired from office yesterday, on the petition for pardon of Albert W.
