TT Is up to the next legislature Of
Iowa to decide whether the state uni

sion here, whether 1t will be in fact q
great university. or whether it shall
drop back and become merely COM

spite all we can do we are going tt
lose some Of our best workers simply
because we cannot pay the salaries

LAS for myself, I feel that the pro-
per answer TO criticisms in regard to
the expenditures of the state is to state
that we are spending more
and we are getting our mon
ey's worth. The man who buys a
hundred dollar watch and pays just
what 1t is worth, is wiser than the
man who buys dollar watch. The
state has been buying dollar watches
too long. The proper test is whether
we are getting the best Of everything

only the best for Iowa. and he has
