Oregon Appropriation tbe Smallest. Joe Uuireisitv of Ureuou now re ceive! tbe eiuullett upptopriutiou of any state university in tho Uniou, al- cnougo eigut t t iles iiave less popula tion, and uiue have lees wealth. Tbe present appropriation from this state amounts to 847,500. In addition to this tbe university receives about 112,000 u year from interest bearing lunds aud registration fees. Tbe an nual appropriation of a number of western state universities for 1007 is as follows: Washington, $500,000; Ida ho, $129,150; Moutana, $87,550; Colo rado, $515,000; Nevada, $125,000; Iowa, $230,000; Wisoonsia, $1,125,261; Nebraska, $31,235; Calif o(uia, S2,. 148. The rate is only two-tenths ot a mill on Oregon's assessed vuluation. Comparative Cost per Student. Tbe oost per student to tbe stato of Ore gon is only $133, as against $151 at tbe University of Washington, fel79 ut Idaho, $180 at CalUornia,$m nt Mon tana and $200 at Wisconsin. This es timate is made on the basis of actual maiotenence, exclusive of buildinas. Tbe comparison Is still stronger when buildinga and equipment are added. The number o1 students includes tbe departments of medicine and law for tbe reason that these departments are included in the reports of other uni versities, and it was net possible to segregate them. Scalo of Salaries Low. The presi dent of tbe University of Oregon re ceives an annual salary of $3,000, as ugalnst $10,000 paid at the University ot California, $1,500 nt tbe University of Washington and $5,000 at the Ore gon Agrioultural College. Ibe aver age maximum sulaiy paid professois iu state universities is $3,000 as com pared with a maximum et the Univer sity of Oiegou of $2,000. Only eight protessora receive $2,000; nine receive $1,600, and tbe rest of tbe instruction al torce reoelve from 1,200 to $300. University liudly Crippled. Tbe present condition of the University of Oregon is deplorable Class rooms and laboratories are overcrowded. Tbe heating plant 1) iuadeanate to beat all the buildings. The library is wholly without lights and tbe eirls' dormitory cannot be used ou aooount of laok of beat. The department of geology has buou without ahead since the death of Dr. Coupon It is Im possible to renew expiring contraots for fuel, ligbt and wa'er. No wanes were paid iu October, November aud December. Naff Settlers Demand Good Schools. Tbe states of tbe middle west, from wnion uregon is endeavoring to at tract Immigration, are appropriating large sums for their universities. Iowa, for example, appropriated $583,- 566 for her university iu 1907, and Kansai appropriated $307,500. iiotb ot these states are !.; ral in the sup port of tbeir agricultural colleges. Tbe defeat of tbe appt oprintltu would seriously injure Orifiou's reputation among the great c mmonwuHlths of tbe middle west, lliij year the Uni versity of Washington reoeived live times as many students from the mid dle west as did the University of Oie gou. The Opportunity of tho Poor. Poor and rich alike can share in the ad vantages offeted by tbe state univer sity. Tuition is free and the ootit of i.iviug low. Sixty-live per cent of tbe young men at tbe University of Ore gon are eltbei wholly or partially earning their ono way through col lege. Students bavo entered the uni versity itb lc8 than $20 iu money, and yet have been nbltt through tbeir Own exertious to work tbeir way tbrongb to graduation Every boy with a determination to work may achieve an education nt the State Un iversity. He can by bin own efforts earn bis way, where he bus no tuition and only the oost of living and books, but is absolutely barrod by tbe $500 to $300 required to go out of tbe atate. University a Pnit of tbe 1'ublia School System. The states which are auppoiting tbeit nuiversitius most lib erally are tho oik; which have tbe strongest systems of public schools, aa tor example, California, Iowa, Wis consin and Minnesota. A strong uni versity is absolutely essential to a atrong sobool system, for tbe univer sity is nothing more nor less tbaD the hsad of tbe state's pnbllo schools. Tbe University of Oregon bag exerted a strong influence over tho publio schools of tbe state tluougb tbe work of . its graduates. The demand for well trained high . school teacbeia Is three times as laige as the supply, Ibe tammer Kchool nnd correspond ence sobool have been eatahli died for teachers who cannot attend tbe regu lar sessions. 1 Amount ot Increao In Appropria tion. Special apiiropriutlona have been found nooesaury (or the unlver sity for several year. Ibe amount provided by tbe atate dui log tbe years ii'j-i:.o waa in round numbers 180. 000 per year. Ibe Increase In the ap propriallon Is iiotn tola amouut to the new appropi latloo ot $125,000. 1 he new appropriation will take tha place of tbe old appropriation and of all rpeolal appiopnatious for bnild iugs and improvements. For What Nedtd. The estimate lor toe bsre cost of maintenance (exolu sive ol buildings, laboratory equip meat aud ot books (or library) la $&. 000 pur jeai on tbe moat economical basis. New rtoitatloo buildinga now or gently needed will oost no less than o0,000. A dormitory should be provided for me yuuug women ot tbe university. ciwiing approximately riu.uw. Additional land inould be secured while it la available. An expenditure of liom 115,000 to $25,000 (or land at tho present time would save a much larger expenditure in tbe future. a 11 11 m oor or toe departments are bailiy iu need ot modern laboratcry eiitiiptueut. It will cost at least $15.- 000 to put them Iu condition (or good worn, ine library needs $10,000 tor books and general equipment, to bring it op to tbe efficiency of even tbe smaller unlveiaity libraries. ibe g ouuda. beating plant aud fur nituie for new buildings will reouire cio.uuu. Ibe needs above specified essrecate $155,000, enough to consume tbe mar gin nbove coat of maiutenannoe for at least three years, with all other sources of revenue oouuted, and with out making any allowance for increas ed expenditures necessarily attendant on (be rapidly luoreasiog numcer of students, fnew buildiuaa and new equipment will steadily be ueeded as tbe uuiversity grows. Vtby Continuing and Uusegregated. Tbe continuing; appropriation baa been tried in other states where It baa served to keep tbe university from political and other oomblnationa and complications in the state legislature. It ie now yery generally accepted In prinoiple. The pioposed bill waa modeled after tbe bill wbiob provides tor a continuing appropriation at tbe Oregoa Agrioultural College. 11 an appropriation la :to be a con tinuing one, extending over a number of yeais, it is obviously impossible tu segregate it into soparate foods for maintenance, buildings and Improve ments for the reason that tbe needs ot tbe uuiversity will differ each year from those of tbe preoeedlng year as th university trows In numbers and expands in its work. If tbe univer sity is to be treed from the necessity of going to the legislature every two years (or special appropriations, the only possible method ia to leave the board of regents (ree to usn the total re.Houroea of each jeai to meet the needs of tbe year as their best judg ment may determine. The board Is composed of disinterested and repre sentative citizens, living Iu widely scattered seotiona of the state, who have no Interest to serve but that of tbe publio welfare. They are mare familiar with tbe needs of tbe univer sity tban anyone else can be. Their bills go through the office of tbe sec retary of state, and they print an nually for general distribution a com plete statement of all tbe university's Unauoial transactions. Tax Will Not Be Ueavy.-If tbe ap pioprlatlon bill becomes a law, tbe amount of taxes required to support the uuiversity will amount to 25 cents on every $1,000 wortb of property and will grow lesi as the value ot tbe prop erty in tbe atate luoiessea. Tbe man who pays taxea on $500 woith of property will pay lies than 12 cents for the support of the university and ou $1,000, leas tban $1. Are tuoh amounts excessive wben It ia pioposed to build up an institution where the sona and daughters ol our common people oao reoelve tbe education that the times demand? The Situatlou a Grave One. -Tbe university ia facing a giave situation. its muds fell short by $15,000 of meeting the current expenses of the past year, a deficiency having beeu averted only by the (aoulty serving three months without pay. The de mand is for a larger university, aa is shown by the rapid growth In num bers. Uulea is ia supplied. Oregon students ia increasing numbers will leave tbeir own state to seoure their university training elsewheie. and the state will be a heavy loser by tbeir going. A grave doubt will be thrown on Oregon's future education al policy, to tbe hurt of immigration of tbe most desirrble type. How to Tote. It is important to vote "Yes." as tbe question on wbiob the vote ia to be taken Is, aball tbe appropriation bill become a law. - 314 X Yes 315 No War on Orchard Pests. How to eradicate tbe beginnings of orchard pests in Montana was a live subject of debate before tbe state hor ticultural meeting In Hillings last week. Professors from tbe State Ag ricultural College as well as fiuit growers from dilternt seotious were emphatic In demanding that some thing etteotlve along this line should be done. While education and exbir tation of the individual fruit growers are iu toe oignest degree essentisi in this oampaigo against trnlt pests, yet it remains mat mere are tbote ' wbo through ignoranoe, or inditteienoe, utterly neglect to oaie for tbeir own on hards, to tbeir own serious loss as well aa tbat of tbeir neigbbois. I'o meet this menace to fruit grow ers, T. I. Black, of Whitehall, ad vanced a proposition wbiob was thor oughly discussed and enthusiastically adopted, ibis wai to ask tbe legisla ture to Impose a special tax upon fruit growers, according to Ibe frnit acreage of each, tbe proceeds fo be devoted to employing expert to search tbe state for these pests and to see that tbe law for tbeir extermin ation ia enforced. A similar special tax is imposed upon tbe live stock in terests of tbe state for tbe extermina tion of the wild animals which prey upon the live stock. It Is believed hat tbe legialatuie will add to such a fund from general taxation. Best Healer in tbe World. Eev. F.
