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

Additional land inould be secured

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.

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.
