of the University of Washington for
$3.50 an acre. The land lies imme-

BY act of the territorial legislature
of 1861, Daniel Bagley, John Web

county. Washington territory, were
appointed a board of university COM
missoncrs. They were authorized to
make selections of land and to sell it
in the interest of the university for
not less than $50 an acre. At this
time the university was situated in
the downtown district of Seattle.
Daniel Bagley, who afterward was

pointed president of the board. On

to their several places of worship on
that day to render thanks to Al
mighty God for the blessings of
peace and unbroken prosperity which
He has bestowed upon our beloved
country in such unstinted measure.
And l also urge and suggest our
duty in this, our day of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sympa-
thy of the stricken peoples of the
world upon whom the curse and ter
ror of war has so pitilessly fallen and
to contribute out of our abundant
means to the relief of their suffering.
Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abund-
ance to the relief of the suffering
which war has brought in its train.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.

ITO DEPICT NORTHWEST
HISTORY IN PACEANTS
Open-Air Dramas to Illustrate EvOlu.
ton of Modern State from
Wilderness.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON.
Dec. IA series of annual historical
pageants which will bring into review
the important facts in the evolution
of Washington from an untrammeled
wilderness to modern state will be
written, acted and produced in the flu
ture on the University of Washing
ton campus by students and faculty.
When the first episode. based on
Indian legend and very early history,
is acted in October, 1917. ships of
commerce and trade of the very latest
type will be sailing past the univer-
sity waterfront on their way to the
sea through the government canal
system. With it's vista of lakes and
wooded mountains, and its situation
on gently sloping terrace, the uni
versity campus is deemed an ideal set
ting for an historical pageant.
Each year a corps of writer's, cos
tuners, artists and historians will
study definite period in the histor-
ical, industrial and educational devel-
opment of the state in order to repro
duce symbolically the spirit in that
chapter of development. Hamilton
A. Wolf, instructor in the college OF
fine arts, has been chosen master of
the pageant.
The annual May fete has been
abandoned to make way for the pa
geant. President Suzzallo hopes that
the historical drama will become ira
di-ional at the university.

RECENT ELECTIONS~
COST 50 MILLIONS
HALF SPENT BY Candidates.
HALF BY STATES AND
MUNICIPALITIES,

Elections this fall have cost
50,000,000. Such is the concensus
of conservative estimates by political
leaders of the East. Some place the
figure twice as high.
Only a small part of this expense
goes toward electing a president and
a vice president About $4,000 state,
county, city and other offices have
been filled this fall.
Two hundred thousand men-and
women-ran for office.
OF the $4,000, 900, about half was
spent by the candidates and their
supporters and the other half by the
state and municipal governments in
preparing for and holding the cleo
tions and counting the ballots.
In New York state alone the cost
Of registering voters and conducting
the elections was about $2,5OO,0OO.
Where Money Went.
The $25,OO0,00O spent in further
ing the campaigns Of candidates was
divided among postage, telegraph and
telephone service, advertising, press
agent publicity, speakers pay and
expenses, bands, rent of halls and
theaters, clerical help, campaign but
tons. badges and banners, rallies and
conventions, printing and engraving.
and sums-large in the aggregate
given to the hundreds of thousands
of minor workers"
It is estimated that the Republican
national committee spent over
100000 and the Democratic M
tional committee over $1,500.000.
In 1908 the Republican national
committee spent $4,000 for printing.
$4,000 for advertising, over $4,000
for campaign Autographs and $4,000
for buttons. This year these items
were much larger. For one reason
the cost of almost everything to b
bought has doubled or tripled.
Purchasing Methods.
In 1908 William J. Bryan had his
national treasurer try q plan of solic-
iting dollar contributions. This plan
was a failure, because 1t was found
the cost Of getting the dollar ate up
all but few of the hundred cents.
Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr., Republican
national treasurer, was successful this
year with a campaign for SO con-
tributions, however. This scheme in
creased largely the number of indi-
vidual Republican contributors.
WILDER w. Marsh, the Democratic
national treasurer, used the every
member canvass" idea, said to have
been invented originally as scheme
to raise church mortgages. He built
up a wonderful countrywide organi-
cation to carry out the plan, with
local committees sent out teams OF
two men each. A team outnumbered
the Democrat attacked and he usually
capitulated for some sum, according
to his means.

1t has long been the custom Of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
Of the year in praise and thanks
giving to Almighty God for His many
blessings and mercies to US as a ma
ton. The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
US as people, but the whole face
of the world has been darkened by
war. In the midst of our peace and
happiness, our thoughts dwell with
painful disquiet upon the struggles
and sufferings Of nations at war and
of the peoples upon whom war has
brought disaster without choice or
possibility of escape on their part.
We cannot think Of our own happi-
ness without thinking also of their
pitiful distress.
Now, therefore, I. Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
3Oth of November, as a day of ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge and advise the people to resort

LEGAL STATUS OF u"
AND STATE COLLEGE
GOVERNMENT DEALS AVITH LEG
ISLATCRES, NOT INSTITU-
TONS, SAYS DEAN

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
Dec. LIN order to make known
the exact legal status of the Univer-
sity of Washington and of the State
College of Washington, Dean John
T. Condor, Of the law school of the
university, has just published bull.
letin on the functions of the two in
situations as shown by the federal
and state laws which control them
at has been claimed that the state
college was granted certain fixed
functions by reason of the federal
laws" said Dean Condor, in discuss
ing the bulletin. at has been con-
tended that these functions are pro.
tected either by contract between
the United States and the State OF
Washington or by a contract between
the United States and the state col
lege."
Cites Wyoming Case.
No such contractual relation under
the law exists between a state and an
institution within the state or be-
tween the United Staes and an insti-
tuition, according to the dean. After
reviewing several cases in point, he
cites the controversy in Wyoming
which arose between the state uni
versity and the agricultural college
! as to which was entitled to the fed
eral funds.
The court held the act of August
80. 1890, known as the second Nor.
rill act, was a grant to the several
states and not to the colleges compe-
tent to receive the same. The court
decided also that 1t was the duty of
the state legislature to receive and
expend the funds received under the
congressional acts.
There are no such things as
Functions prescribed by the United
States in the sense that Congress
prescribes them for the institutions, -
declared the dean. Congress pre-
scribes them for the states and the
states may distribute them as they
will to the educational institutions
of the state.
1.-THE words of the act itself on
this point are that nothing in this
act shall be construed to impair or
modify the legal relations existing
between any of the said colleges and
the government of the state or terri
tories in which they are respectively
located"
Legislature Has Free Hand.
AS regards the distribution of
functions of the institutions Dean
Condor has found that in this state
the legislature is left a free hand to
distribute the functions of the col
lege of agriculture and mechanic
arts under the federal acts and that
the first legislature assigned to the
university literature, arts and SCI
ences with their varied applications
of college character" and to the
agricultural and mechanic arts col
lege elementary science of less than
college character, and agriculture.
These have not been substantially
changed since, he says.
There has never been an assign
ment to any particular school of the
100. 900 acres granted to the state for
scientific school, said the dean.
1T is also true that funds are now
being used by the state college with
out the appropriation of the legisla-
ture which is required by the con-
stitution of the state"
