The man who pays most is the one most benefitted. He who speeds the auto and uses our highways, and God bless him! he will vote "yes" forever and forever on this bill, pro vided lie gets the roads. The auto li cense must be paid until 191H when the ;S0th session of the legislature meets, but will auto owners continue -so to do without protest to the members of the iiOlh session unless the proposed bond issue carries and actual work has been accomplished? The auto owners are not fools. They accept the high license to save expenses -of repairs, tires and gas- oline resulting from boggy and rough highways.

One more fact should not bo over looked. Farmers and residents of ru ral communities are counted against this meritorious law, yet our villages and cities pay 80 per cent of the taxes. Farmers will benefit more by this legis lation than they will through the oper ation of the eighteen million rural credits law passed during the last ses sion of the legislature. Men and women of Oregon who go to the polls to vote on June 4, 1917, should first fully inform themselves as to the merits of this bill and then vote "Yes" 314 ou the ballot.

This was initiated in chapel yesterday by Professor E. E. Richards, the extension secretary. Pro- viously the executive committee voted to stand back of tho proposition, and to a certain degree engineer it. Pro f eg- sor Richards told of the need of such 115 a campaign, and to the degreo that he f)0 thought it would be effective. 85 Additional remarks were made by 95 Professors James T. Matthews, Flor 90 ian Von Eschen and Coach Mathews. 90 Tho core of their talks was that it was 95 a patriotic duty to induce young peo- 115 I'le to attend college, as tho nation s 90 I in need, now as never before, of tram pled efficient leaders. . an response to tno request mat tne sruuents hand in the names of all-high school seniors, who might be interest ed in Willamette or any other college, a large list of prospective students was required.
