URGENT NEED OF TAX
FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
IN STATE POINTED OUT
Booklet Sent to Alumni of
State University, College and
Normal School Asks Support
for Millage Measure.

The many graduates and former
students in Umatilla county of the
state university. the agricultural col
lege and the normal school. have just
received 16-page booklet setting
forth the details of the crisis that ex-
lists at these three state educational In
stitutions.
The booklet was published by the
Joint Alumni Relief Association for
Higher Education In oregon, to make
public before election day. May 2f,
some of the facts and figures relating
to higher education in Oregon. At
this election. the people will vote on
the relief measure referred to them
by the last Legislature, providing 1926
mills for higher education.
Old Grads shown Figures.
The booklet was of great interest TO
the local "old grads. many of whom
left school before the present crisis
began to develop.
While they have known of the Sc
rious dilemma in which the war put
the university. the college and the
normal school. they did not have the
actual statistics.
The booklet shows that since 1913.
attendance at the university has
jumped 152 per cent and at the agri-
cultural college 14s per cent. Their
state support.ao on the other hand, has
Increased less than 4 per cent, or
about one-fortieth as muc. =.
AS result little building could be
done except that which the Legislature
financed by special appropriations. In
consequence there has been only n Is
per cem increase in class rooms to
meet the $50 per cent increase in at
tendance.
Institutions Are Economical.
The booklet gives further statistics
to show how economically the univer-
sity, college and normal are conduct
ed. Their costs per student year be-
ing shown as far below the average
for the United States in state institu-
tions.
A central organization of the old
students of all three schools is to be
formed in this county. The organ
ization will also include representa-
tives of clubs and persons generally
who are interested in protecting high
er education.
