FUNDS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

Governor Spry IS very long message
was distinguished by its general ap-
proval of pretty much everything that
had been done in the State admlnistra'
tou and in the management of State
institutions. With respect to the
matter Of revenue OF the State UNI
versity. however, the Governor finds
himself at odds with the regents. The
provision for the University IS made
through proportional division OF the
three and one-half mills OF the general
levy for educational purposes. after
specific portions are taken out. This
provision, when il was first suggested,
seemed to be step in advance. but
il appears that it does not give sufh-
cient revenue for the University. and
so the regents urge that in place OF
receiving tho ratio OF taxes for educa
tional purposes, Il fixed sum should be
provided for the University support.
From this the Governor dissents, urg-
ing that as the taxation Increases the
revenue of the University will increase
proportionately, as fixed by law.
The method whereby the University
now gets its revenue is, therefore, made
TO act as boost for higher assessments
and more State taxation. If the Uni
ycrsity wants more money, let it come
TO the front, use it's influence 20 in

This is certainly an unlool<cdfor out

TO give n permanent and definite in

which the regents could confidently de
pend, This plan of supplying funds
for the University is NOT therefore,
primarily for the purpose OF tho Uni
vcrsity. since il does not meet the
needs of that institution; but the main
idea in giving the University support
IN this manner was TO get the Univer-
sity's influence for the increase Of
taxation. AT least that is now the de-
sigu fairly disclosed by the Governor.
In the meantime, and until the taxes
can he increased sufficiently so as TO
relieve the needs of the University. the
Governor suggests that there are two
means whereby the University, might
get more money; one extending 10 that
institution participation in all tax
sale rcdemptions, the other making par
ticipation In yearly State revenue
available for expenditures during fiscal
instead Of school years; this latter be.

thoroughly reprehensible, and trust that
the Legislature may be able to find
some means to meet the needs OF the
University without making If a tax
boosting machine.

NINETEEN SIXTEEN

Tn e Searchlight, monthly standpat Republican magazine, published at Grayslake, H., i, sumarizes on President Wilson and the national political situat- ion as follows:
 The Democratic party has given the country two unquestionable great alphabetically different pre- sidents; Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson. Cleveland was a product of the masses who became the exponent of the class es, at a time when that was the vital need of the country, Wilson was the pedant, the theorist, the scholar, who is becoming practi- cal under the stress of necessity. Neither one is what he thought he would be. In Gods hands all clay is potter clay.
 It is easy to find fault with de- tails of the Wilson administrat- ion. 1 have done so, and shall probably continue to do so. The man who strikes ten every time, has not been born, and he would be an insufferable bore if he ever were. On the other hard 1 sup. pose the president could, if he had time to know about it. find fault with The Searchlight. So we are even on that score.
 But, by and large, as we say, it is a good administration. It is doing things. It may not be do. ing everything just as you and would do it, but in the main it is making for the best good of the largest number-and in the end, that is us.
 There is one very practical pro- position that we must face for 1916, and we might as we'll be- gin facing it now as any time. When the next election comes it will be a choice between Wood row Wilson and Theodore Roose- welt. And President Wilson will have to do some awfully wild pitching between now and then to
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-10-24

make that even gambling pro- position.
 The people of this country real ly like President Wilson. Of course those who agree with him do, but his real strength lies in the substantial confidence that people who do not always agree with him have in lis honesty and integrity.
 He dodders a bit on small things, of which there are many in all administrations, but he arises to the big things with un- erring direction and irresistible force.
 Essentially I am a Republican. but am for my country, before any party. The most serious menace to the government of this country and the liberties of this people today, is Theodore Roosevelt. He is, aszhe has al- ways been, the tool of the trusts the servant of the interests. Make no mistake about that. He cannot be beaten by a Republi- can, whoever he may be. And if popular government is to be preserved in this republic he must be beaten. Unless Wood row Wilson does something there is no reason to expect he will do. heacan beat the imperial pre- tender and 1 do not believe any, one else can.
 The Republican party should reorganize on sane lines and nominate the lest man it can, and we should support him with all possible force and strength, in the hope that one more good drubbing will permanently eli minate MT. Roosevelt from American politics. But the hope of this nation in 1916 is Woodrow Wilson-not the Republican nomi- nee.
 And so. while we may have many disagreements wilh MT. Wilson's details, let it be under. stood first, last and all the time- that unless he becomes material

parks are well lighted. A bashful lover may be as

No man will be allowed to spoon with a different

How do our men tell whether true lovers or
Washers are doing the hugging and kissing? Why.
in this way: Take Schenley Park for instance.
There are three entrances to it. At each entrance
stationed policemen, trained, experienced men.
Those fellows tell almost at glance whether
a young man is bringing his regular girl to the park
whether he is the sort that brings in different
each evening. The masher is turned away from
the entrance and is not permitted to enter. If he
does get through the policemen watching the
benches viii get him If that sort is caught mis-
behaving. they are bundled out OF the park il one
of the police automobiles and are fined in the morn
ing. Repetition means jail sentences and work

No ! haven't issued any instructions to the park
policemen to what sort Of love talk is permissi-
BILE That is left to their discretion. Lovers all
say things that sound silly to the eavesdropper but
we allow for that Stiffness is not a sin.
Roughly speaking my rules are three in number,
a S follows
Rule NO man will be permitted to bring diff
ferent girl to the park each night
Rule 2-Pocemen must wink to themselves and
look the other way when they hear the sound of
kiss between true lovers.
Rule 3-The girl who does not want to be kissed
must do than say family, "Piease don't"
What about the girl who fuses and says that she
doesn't want to be kissed? Well that is a delicate
problem. but told to go slow and be sure
that the girl means it before they interfere. You
know girls have that habit and vet when the man
refrains from the kiss they get mad.

spooners will do much to improve the morals Of the
young people of the city. l have a great sympathy

Other criminals work for returns which
are more or less problematical When the
pickpocket slips his hand into your hip

which may contain little or nothing. The
bag-snatcher may secure only worthless
handbag containing loose change and
few trinkets. The hOuseburglar takes
big chances for loot which may not be
worth carrying away
This is not the case with the forger.
Unlike other criminals, the tOrger fixes
the amount Of his booty himself. In this
respect he is restrained only by such limi-
tations as the circumstances may suggest.
