posal a large per centage of the
students of the oregon colleges go
through school entirely upon their
own resources This has been true
fer many years past and it will con-
tinue to be true in the future. BY
working during vacations and as much
"a possible during the school year
young men may put themselves
through college, Young women may
do the same though the thing is moro
difficult for them because of lower
wages paid women and their restricted
field of employment.
To be sure a young man working
his way through college cannot en-
JOY every known luxury. He cannot
maintain 81 varieties of trousers and
have an unlimited supply of cigarettes.
Hut he can keep in better health, be
more manly and more efficient than
tine fellow who does. He can have a
good time too. although not overbur-
dened with cash and he can always
find great mental satisfaction in the
realization that he is doing the right
thing and will be well repaid later on
for all hardships he may endure.
Local young men and young women
who are ambitious to secure collegiate
training are upon the right track. If
YOU are poor the necessity for such
training is all the greater because
YOU need the best equipment possible
in order to improve your station in
life If YOU want to go to college see
to it that you go, "Where there's a
will there's a way"

So long have the Oregon senator's
been berated and misrepresented by
tn e re ctionary
Senatorial Work press Of the state
That Went that few people
UnnOticed. have any proper re-
alization of the SER
vice they have been TO Oregon.
Under the heading, Are We Stu
pid," the Journal calls attention to
the work the senatorial delegation has
done regarding rivers and harbor inn
provements and also to the lack of ef-
ficient representation in the lower
house of congress:
Are we Oregonians not stupid? In
1910 the rivers and harbors bill pass
ed the house without mention of the
Willamette locks. In the senate an
amendment was added which appro-
priated 100000 for the Willamette
locks, and senate influence forced
the house to accept the increase,
making government ownership Of the
locks a fixed fact.
In 1911, after the rivers and har-
bors bill left the house, an amend
ment in the senate added 1925, 900
Tor the Columbia channel and in
formally recognized the deepening of
the channel from Portland to the sea
as a federal project. Senate influ-
ence subsequently, forced the senate
amendment through the house and
made the added appropriation avail
able.
In 1912, after the rivers and har-
bors bill left the house, a senate am
erdment increased appropriations for
oregon projects $4,000 and formally
recognized the deepening of the chan
mel from Portland to the sea as a fix
60 federal project. Senate influence
then forced the senate amendment
through the house, and the president
has signed the bill
Are the people Of Oregon blind?
Do they not see the difference be-
tween the effectiveness of their repre-
sentatiyes in the house and that of
their representatives in the senate?
Are not three years of futility and
failure in the house sufficient to es-
tablsh the hopeless inefficiency of
Cregon's two congressman?
