Phone Main 82. HIGHER EDUCATION IN OREGON. THE board of high curriculula has decided to abolish the . civil engineering course in Oregon colleges, all because the Oregon Agricultural college would not be satisfied as long as the profession was taught at the state university. It seems that the 0. A. C, at Corvallis, which receives a large amount of money from the state and nation for teaching agri culture and kindred subjects, is anxious to cut loose as much as possible from this kind of work and invade the field of profes sinal engineering and technical instruction, which are in no way Allied to agricultural pursuits, and would tend to educate the boys back to the farm," but as far away from it as though he -was to become a doctor or lawyer. The determination of the Corvallis "farm school" in its raid upon the board of higher curric ula for professional courses, which the members of that board knew should be taught at the university,resulted in a peculiar order. Lacking the backbone to .withstand the assault of the pro fessional grangers, the board, at a recent meeting in Portland, caused an order to be entered abolishing the civil engineering course in both state schools a senseless decree, to say the least. It means that Oregon boys who desire to become civil engineers, in any of the many branches of that important profession, must go to sister states, presumably Washington or California, to secure the necessary instruction and training. Thus this great state throws its as piring young men upon the charity of the world, admitting its inability or unwillingness to educate them for the duties of life. The only logical conclusion which may be worked out of this peculiar situation is that some time the people will demand an ncounting from the 0. A. C. at Corvallis. Thoy are supporting that institution liberally on the supposition that its greatest en ergies are being devoted to the teaching of agriculture, in the hope that farming, fruit growining and dairying may become more popular pursuits with our young people, and more pleas ant and profitable for all engaged therein. However, the con stant efforts of the management of that institution to substitute for agricultural instruction such professional courses as proper ly belong to a university is creating the growing suspicions that its appropriations are not being secured by honest representa tion of the purposes for which they are to be used, and there is likely to be a closer scrutiny of the work of the 0. A. C. by the people who have so liberally supported it in the pnst as an ag ricultural school. IS THERE A JOKER IN THE DECK? IT seems President Wilson is desirous that the interstate com merce commission shall control the financial operations of all railroads. This is, perhaps, desirable, but there are some things in connection with it that may well cause the administration to pause before committing the country to that policy. The fact that Wall street and the railroads themselves want it is cause enough for suspicion. But a short time ago the railroads were bitterly opposed to the plan, but with a hunch from Wall street they have suddenly seen a great light. May there not be a small colored gentleman in the woodpile that the administration is overlooking? If the commission, acting for tho government, authorized an issue of bonds or stock, it would in a way make the government responsible for them. The government would practically under write the bond or stock issue, and that would be a great thing for Wall street, and also for the railroads. If the governient authorizes the issue of bonds it is bound to permit the roads to make n rate Hint will meet the interest charges and sinking fund, and will thus hamper itself in its control of the roads. When the commission issues or author izes the issue of bonds, it will in fact validate them, and by what moans shall the commission ascertain the values of such proposed issues? Uncle Sam may find himself in the position of an indorser of hundreds of millions of dollars of bonds and stocks, and how "Wall street would like to have that kind of stuff to play with. The location of a new fruit cannery in Salem is one of the most encouraging signs of tho times. It means a better market for the products of the country, and, in turn, will stimulate pro duction and encourage the development of the agricultural dis tricts. In Oregon, at tho present time, it is less important to boost and boom the towns than to work for the rebuilding of the Lapp & Bush, Bankers Transact n General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes Traveler's Checks In passing the bill providing for arms and ammunition for an army of 500,000 men, the senators indulged in much freak talk. Senator Smoot, of the Church of Latter Day Saints, and repre senting that church and the state of Utah in the senate, com pared the United States with Mexico. He said the lack of am munition was almost criminal, and added: "Even Mexico pos sesses more mobile guns than we do.' This is probably true, but it must not be overlooked that Mexico has more urgent need of them. If more guns and ammunition mean that we will try to emulate Mexico, then we had better dispense with them. Senator Smoot's suggestion is a boomerang. Director Ralph, of the bureau of printing and engraving at Washington, reports that $4,000,000 worth of printed sheets of ten dollar bills are missing, and have been for some time. No mention has been made of a visit of Rockefeller, Morgan or that bunch, that swiped $317,000,000 from the New Haven rail road, and, besides, they would not have been guilty of petty lar ceny like that. The California railroad commission has recommended that the Southern Pacific be permitted to issue bonds in the sum of $55,000,000 for several purposes, one of which is retiring short term notes bearing 6 1-2 per cent, and the other provides for ex pending $5,000,000 in Oregon. One of the items is $1,019,718 for "station buildings, grounds and other improvements." It is hoped at least $50,000 of the amount will be spent in giving Sa lem a depot that is not a disgrace to civilization. Who is there so hard-hearted that he does not sympathize with John D., who is asked by the city of Cleveland to pay the trifle of $12,000,000 taxes. Just think how you would feel if called upon to pay that sum in taxes, and then weep for poor old John D. Marie Lloyd, the English music hall comedienne, horsewhip ped a Vancouver, B. C, editor for criticising her. Marie was not long ago refused admission to this country as an undesir able, and editorial comment by the brash Britishers caused the horsewhipping stunt. Anyway, the incident proves that the of ficial who denied her admission was not far wrong in classing her as an undesirable.
