THE UNIVERSITY BUDGET

THE UNIVERSITY BUDGET
1t is encouraging to the taxpayers
that the amount of money budgeted by
the state board of education from the
appropriation made by the last leg1s-
lature is less for each educational in
stitution for 1922 than for 1921. In
the case of the University of Idaho,
the budget was accepted by the board
of education as submitted by Presi-
dent Upham and the other university
authorities. The heads of institution,
however, had voluntarily trimmed the
budget to the fullest possible point
consistent with efficiency, looping off
a substantial sum, as compared with
the budget for 1921. AS explained by
President Upham in an interview in
Thursdays Star Mirror, the univer-
sity is hit by the readjustment period
just as the farmer is hit, and is con-
the lowest possible notch. President
Upham states the university attitude
in the following sentence:
1--WE farmers, like all. other farmers,
have suffered on account of the les
sened receipts from our experiment
stations Losses to crops and the low
prices on the sale Of farm produce
have hit the university in the same
way the farmers have been hit"
It is encouraging to note that Presi- |
dent Upham predicts an increased en-
rollment of $50 students next fall over
the present enrolment and that this
enrolment will, with the addition Of
several new faculty members, be
cared for at a considerable reduction
from the expense of maintaining the
institution during 1921.

WILSONIAN AND JEFFERSONIAN
According to the Idaho Free Press,
all is not harmony in the democratic
ranks in south Idaho. 1t has been the
habit of the democratic party, as well
as of the republican party, to enjoy
a little scrap within the family from
time to time 1t is evident that the
democrats, even though they have
nothing to lose, and hope to gain
something, are not going to pursue
that something with amity in their
hearts toward each other. The diff
ficulty seems to be between those I;
who class themselves as Jefferonians Y
and those who have been worshipping h
oh nf yN.,ndrnU Wilson ! TX
When the story appeared in the Free Il
Press calls were out for two meet If
ings at Nampa, the Wilson people Is
calling meeting to organize a club lie
ton of democratic clubs, while the IL
other bunch would meet to form an IE
Jeffersonian democratic is
club. All of which adds to the joy is
of pre-campaign times, when E
he fighting is within the party organ E
cations. lE
