U. of o. Freshmen Abolish Hazins

U. Of o. Freshmen Abolish Hazing.
Eugene, Ore.-The present fresh
man class met last evening and
passed the following drastic resolu-
tions against hazing next year:
Whereas. The University of Ore
gon has Just entered upon a new era
Of greater growth and progress; and
Whereas, Unwelcome notoriety
has come to the university through
exaggerated press reports of alleged
hazing; and
Whereas. Public opinion through
out the state is decidedly opposed to
hazing; and
Whereas, The faculty of the uni
versity has adopted drastic measures
to suppress hazing; be It therefore
Resolved, That the class of 1912
cooperate with the faculty in its ef-
forts to abolish any and all hazing;
and be 1t further
Resolved, That the class of 1912
establish the precedent OF welcoming
the incoming students in some other
more appropriate way than hazing."

Interior, and it Is understood that
thse maps are being checked up and
the nearly ready for Secretary Bal
linger's official scrunlty. Having cs'
tablished precedent in approving the
maps for the lower 40 miles, he will
without any reasonable doubt ap-
prove the balance of the line. This
should take place within the next few
weeks.
Square Away for Fight.
With this formality out Of the way,
Hartman and the Nelson crowd will
be on an equal footing, and 1t will
then be up to them. to begin the con-
demnation or purchase of private
rights of way in conformity with the
lines as approved over public domain.
The Hartman people will adopt this
line of policy with reference to pri-
vate power, irrigation and land pro-
jects, but will not follow this course
with reference to the rival road, for
the reasons already explained.
In retaliation, there will be left two
courses for the oregon Trunk. It will
be compelled on the one hand, to
fight against its own dissolution in the
courts, and IL 1t hopes to obstruct the
Hartman project any further, it will
have recourse to the courts through
injunction proceedings unless it is
knocked out before that timL.
Unfortunately for the long-suffer-
ing people Of Central Oregon, there
are so many phases to the situation
in the Deschutes case that there is
little or no chance for actual road
building for many months to come,
unless, Of course, the Oregon Trunk
scenting its fate, sells out to its big
and powerful rival, the Hartman
line.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
Topeka Civic Association Writes an
Open Letter to Topeka Citizens.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In a recent communication pub
Iished in the State Journal by Mr. T.
F. Carver the retiring member of the
school board from the Fourth ward,
he quotes from a letter he had re-
ceIved from Mr. James Cuthbert
evidently in reply to a letter written
to him by Mr.. Garverl in which Mr..
Cuthbert accepts the situation of be-
ing a candidate opposing Mrs H o.
Garvey for membership on the school
board from the Fourth ward
Mr.. Carver also dweIIs at length on
the value Mr. Cuthbert's services
would be to the board in connection
win certain extensive contemplated
buildings
Since the firm of Cuthbert and
Sargent, of which Mr.. James Cuthbert
is the senior member does a large
part of the heavy building awarded
by the school board. and has at this
time building contracts as subcoutrac-
tors, 10 be paid for by the boards
funds. would it not be something Of
board voting directly or Indirectly to
award contracts wherein his own
firm would be benefited, and then act
as Inspector of that same work for
the board
Is it right for the voters Of Topeka
to force 4 business man into an office
that must either EN- barrass his busi-
ness interests or place him in a
position EOE continual PUBIC Criticism
For 10 official who ObeyS the letter
and spirit of the law can hold a city
Office and accept contracts from the
city Any member Of the school
board who does this is in danger of
bringing his name into public dis
repute whether he receives the
emoIument directly or through a sub
contract under contract with another
person or firm
II Mr. CUthbert should be elected
to the place would he not for business
interests be compelled TO resigu2
And since Mr.. Carver Is too honor
able 70 Try to succeed himself in a
manner that would compromise his
own name and cast discredit upon it.
the vacancy would have to be filed by
appointment by the board and the
voters OF the city would be deprived
of the right of choice Of repre-
