BOOSTER FOR BOURNE.

Hon. VIM. Kent, congressman from
the 2nd California district, with Mrs.
Kent, arrived in the city Sunday and
remained here till the departure Of
the afternoon train for the south.
Mr.. Kent had been In Humboldt and
Del Norte counties for some time
looking after the wants Of his constit-
uency, and the condition Of the po-
litical fences as well, and came here
from Crescent City 10 catch the
Southern Pacific train back TO his
own state. The congressman is a
great booster for the southern state,
and predicts that there will be a
whole lot OF development done there
that will have a definite effect upon
this region, which is so closely allied
with northwestern California. He
says that the government will surely
commence the development Of har-
Dor either at Crescent City or at
Wooleyport, they being less than two
miles apart, and he believes that
southern Oregon will be greatly BEN
Gifted as soon as a railway reaches
that district.
In speaking Of Senator Bourne,
who is to be here Wednesday, Mr..
Kent said:
Senator Jonathan Bourne is just
ly regarded by members OF both the
house and the senate as one Of the
most useful public servants in Wash
ington. He is indefatigable in his
work on his senate committees. He
has great influence in the commerce
committee which deals with river and
harbor improvements.
"To his tlreless and intelligent
work is due the passage of the par
cells post bin through the senate
This measure had been rejected in
the house, and the country can mover
what It means to have q
man on the job This law will re-
suit in greatly lowering distributing
costs, and the benefits, under the zone
system, will be shared alike by coun-
try merchants and by the rural pop
ulation
Senator Bourne's great work in
the struggle to restore popular gov
ernment is not yet understood nor
valued at its real worth. He has
done more to make Oregon and Ore
gon plans known to other states than
has any one in public life.
1T would certainly seem that Ore
5on should realize the value to Ore
5on of retaining such a man in pub
lie service. | cannot speak of local
conditions being ignorant of them,
)ut among constructive, disinterest-
legislators of whatever party or fac
ion at Washington, the loss Of jon
lthon Bourne would be deeply felt"

MILLAGE BILL WORTHY
MEASURE, SAYS MIR. REBEC

TO the Editor OF the Rogue River
Courier
May ! use the columns Of your pa
per for a word on the so-called mill
age tax bin In support Of the state
university and agricultural college?
The friends Of education throughout
the state are anxious that the people
OF the Rogue River valley should
not, through lack Of information or
awakened interest, fail, as regards
this measure, Of tallying up to their
full record of general progressive
ness.
Perhaps. first of all, 1t should be
stated again and again that this bill
means no increase of financial bur
dens to the taxpayer, the statement
In the negative argument In the Vot-
ers' Phamplet to the contrary not
withstanding The sole gain to the
schools involved will be in an ability
to lay stable lines Of policy and an
escape from being tossed every two
years into the legislative arena, and
there made the victims Of partisan
schemes and local quarrels and log
rolling.
The point, however, when ! wish
now especially to press Is this. That
through this measure the people Of
Oregon are afforded an opportunity
to settle their problems of higher
education, not merely conveniently
or temporarily 1ut on lasting and
nationally large lines. The bill pro-
yides for one governing board for
for both our main higher institu-
tlons, and there is nothing to pre-
cude a later bringing of the state
normal school under the same uni
fed control Governor West has
giyon personal guarantee that he will
appoint board Of nt and strong
men. Such board can take up and
solve all the questions of division of
work, Implications Of courses, econ
omy of management, or even the ul-
Innate consolidation, If such should
seem the wise aud necessary thing,
In a spirit superior to mere local fac
tlon, or the pull and tug of the ann
bilious of the several institutions.
IT, furthermore, the board will, as
has been urged, for instance, by the
late Is. S. Miller, engage as secretary,
or in some other capacity, an expert.
who will represent not one mstiu-
tion, or one set of education inter
ests, but the educational good of the
state generally and who, keeping in
touch with educational movements
throughout the country. and indeed
the world, can furnish the board ac-
curate and ordered data, there is no
reason why It's procedure should not
be scientifically progressive and
statesmanliie, as well as simply
right-minded and minded The |
actual shaping of this particular
phase of our whole matter is, of
course, a subject for discussion,
but the possibilities suggested in il
ought to help clear that in this mill
age bill the people of Oregon have
before them chance not only for
peace and economy in their higher
educational affairs, but also of an
open door to higher educational flu
ture worthy Of an ambitious, cour-
ageous ultra democratic common
wealth
Very truly yours,
GEORGE REBEC

trainmen to stop trains to put off persons
who are stealing rides or to keep from

In fights with trespassers and are injured
