Money to Loan.

The Pullman Savings and Loan
Association has money to loan on
improved property at reasonable
rates.
The principal and interest can be
paid in small monthly payments thus
making the Savings and Loan plan a
desirable one for persons having a
moderate income. Or, if desired, the
entire loan can be paid at any time
without any bonus.
The money you are now paying for
house rent will, in a few years, if
applied to Savings and Loan Stock,
purchase you a home.
This association has been in OPP
Grafton nearly nine years and has as
sisted in building nearly 100 dwell
ling houses in Pullman. 1t is COM
posed of local people exclusively, it's
members being those persons who
have taken out loans or have pur-
chased savings stock.
For particulars apply to any of
ficer of the association.

threatening the very existence of
established institutions, accomplish
their purpose. The mere politician
is tempted to prostitute his power at
the expense of the state institutions
to accomplish his political ends. A
permanent fiscal policy would do
away with much of this abuse.
The Amount of the Tax.
The revenue yielded by a one mill
tax would be about the amount of
the recent appropriations for the
same purpose and would probably
be adequate. At present one mill
tax is levied for state roads and state
aid roads. \ fourth of a mill, about
is levied for the state militia.
So important is the principle to
be established that it would be wise
not to inject the question of the dis
uibution too strongly into the dis
cussion at the outset. Perhaps four,
three and three would meet the re-
quirements of the case-that is, four
tenths for the University, three
tenths for the State College, and
three-tenths for the State Normal
Schools This would yield to the col
lege on the present assessed valua-
ton about 100000 a year which
would be a little less than the re-
cent appropriations.
Favorable Pdhlic Sentiment.
In recent years the sentiment has
been gaining ground and a consid-
cradle proportion OF the last legis-
lature before the close of the session
gave their adherence to the principle.
The present Governor is a strong adj
yocatc of the measure. Representa-
tive business men believe that its
establishment would not only pro-
tect the institutions, but would also
protect the state against inroads
into it's treasury. Mr.. Edwin 7.
Conan, president of the Exchange
National Bank, of Spokane, and one
of the most active and influential
members of the Chamber of Com
merce of that city has expressed de-
termination at an early date to bring
the matter before the Chamber of
Commerce and secure the appoint
ment of a committee to further the
plan. If the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce gives its adherence to the
principle (as it no doubt wild it will
call the attention of the Chamber OF
Commerce of Seattle, Tacoma, and
other cities of the state to the mat
ter, securing, if possible, the united
action of the business interests OF
the state in a matter so manifestly
to the advantage of the tax payers
of the state as we'll as to higher edu-
cation within the state. | would,
therefore, recommend prompt and
vigorous action on the part of the
Board of Regents in furtherance of
this course.

A MILL TAX.
Proposition Made by President
Bryan to the Faculty of
w. $. G.

At the meeting of the board of re-
gents in session this week, the fol-
lowing recommendation in regard to
financing the State College was
made by President Bryan:
Perhaps the most important line
Of action for us in the immediate
future is that of securing a mill tax
for the higher educational institu-
tions,-viz the University, the State
College, and the three state Normal
Schools. There is no legitimate eX-
cuse for the biennial scramble for
the means of subsistence on the part
of these institutions. They have
been established after mature con
sideraNck by the people and their re-
representatives.. They have been richly
endowed by the state and nationa
governments. This college in parti
cular is the beneficiary of a large
annual money grant from the United
States Treasury The state in receiv'
ing this has entered into solemn OBJ
legations and engagements with the
United States for it's use for the pur-
noses for which it was given. The
policy has thus been determined by
the people, and there is no just rea-
son why they should not take the
further step of fixing an annual
grant for support on some perman-

THE STATE REJOICES.

The decision of President f. A..
Bryan to remain with the the
State College has caused a general
rejoicing throughout the state
Had he resigned it would have
been no easy matter to find man
capable of keeping the institution
up to its present high standard of
efficiency, though that would
have been as child's play com
pared with the task that confront
ed Mr.. Bryan when he took the
helm II years ago. Then he faced
the problem Of establishing a real
college, complicated and multi
piled many times over by the mis-
takes and follies of his predeces-
sors, which had undermined pub
lie confidence. destroyed all dis
ciplme, aroused bitter animoSiticS
and made the institution a politi-
cal football.
He faced the difficult situation
with undamted courage, high
patriotism and an intense devo-
ton to the work to which he had
dedicated the best years of his life.
Hampered by the opposition Of
men who should have given him
loyal support, maligned by politi-
clans whose selfish schemes he re-
fused to abet, misunderstood by
people who did not comprehend
the breadth Of his plans, impeded
by the petty jealousy Of other as
piring educators, he never falter-
ed. Having put his hand to the
pillow he did not look back. With
mastery diplomacy he brought or
der out of chaos. with farseeing
wisdom he repaired and extended
the weakened foundation and
planned a noble institution OIL
learning, with conSummate eX-
ecutive ability he has carried out
those plans.
Seventeen years Of constant
struggle, frequent disappoint-
ments and mremitting toll, is
enough to sap the strength Of any
man and it is not strange that. |
having accomplished the task Of |
building great college and es-
tablishing it firmly in the conf
dence and affections Of the peo-
pie, Mr. Bryan should long for
freedom and rest. His enthusiasm
is unimpared, his devotion to his
work is undiminished.
President Bryan has rendered a
great service to the state and rem
dered it faithfully and well. The
w. S. c. will stand forever as a
splendid monument to his ability,
energy, courage and fidelity and
his name will be remembered with
affection and gratitude as long as
the institution endures.

founded, or, as / verify believe, with
out substantial foundation, would
disappear. The institutions would
be put upon a business basis. What
manufacturing or mercantile concern
could prosper and be effective if il
had no means Of determining its
future approximate revenue or ex-
penditure? In a new and growing
state it is natural that there should
be rapid development in it's colleges
and universities. To meet this the
addition of facilities should be
steady, not spasmOdic. The Board
should be able to count ahead for a
considerable series of years. It's
buildings should be permanent, not
temporary in character. They should
be made to endure centuries, not to
tumble down in a few short years,
which is WaSteful. The time has
been, in this period of most rapid
growth, when for six years together
no buildings or facilities were added.
The natural result was that when
necessity finally forced action, the
state was startled at the amount ne
cessary and many said, This viii
provide all that is necessary for
many years to come" whereas it
was merely a catching up with the
growth during the years when all
relief had been denied There should
be sufficient revenue provided so
that the growing needs may be an
ticipated and by a slow and steady
increase in the facilities, the high

How Large a Tax.


In my judgment a tax of one mill
| to be operative for period of ten
years for the institutions of higher
| learning would be the just and pro-
per amount. There are two import
ant reasons for limiting the period,
first, because the taxable property
will increase, and the probabilities
are that a lower rate would in de-
cade be feasible, second, because
there might be such a substantial in
crease in the revenues received from
the permanent endowment in that
period as to make reimbursement
desirable. In addition to the above
tax the institutions should receive
whatever increase arises from either
permanent endowment or from other
sources. Thus the University re-
ceives certain sums from it's Seattle
city property, and all of the institu-
tons receive somewhat from the rem
tai of their granted lands and the
interest on their loaned endOWments
or unpaid balances of lands which
have been sold.
Should Include improvements.
The revenues thus derived from
the mill tax and other sources should
pay, during the period, not only for
the maintenance of the institutions,
but also for the permanent improve
ments, including the remodelling and
adapting of existing buildings and
the construction of new buildings
and all repairs.
The First Fiscal Period.
1t would be necessarW for the first
, half of the first fiscal period that
direct appropriations should be made
from the General Fund of the state
as the special tax could not get on
the tax Implications and be collected
in time for the first half of the fis-
cal period. The appropriation of
| approximately one-half of the esti-
| mated increase from the General
Fund and the other half from the
Special Fund arising from the mill
tax would meet the requirements of
the case.
Good Examples.
In several other states where the
organization has been well worked
out the mill tax has been used for
years with great satisfaction. The
present plan whereby the promoters
of every temporary scheme for APP
preparations, may interfere with the
regular and systematic discharge Of
the states functions relative to edu-
cation leads to wild extravaganza
for selfish schemes which have no
merit in themselves. but which by
