VOLUME XXXIII HOLLAND REVIEWS | LEGISLATIVE WORK i Pays High Tribute to Senator Hall, Representative Sanger and Oth ers Who Worked for State College A high tribute to the work of j Senator Oliver Hall and Representa- ' tive Frank E. Sanger, as well as the i other members of the recent legis lature from Whitman county, was ! paid Tuesday by President E. C Hol land in an interesting resume of the work of the legislature insofar as it concerned the State College and oth er institutions of higher learning presented before the chamber of I commerce at its noon luncheon, : Summarizing the final action of the ■ legislature in the matter of appro priations and millage for the State College, President Holland stated , that the college will be able, by strict economy, to continue its present pro- , gram during the next two years, and that the two years following that period give promise of possibilities for a broadening of that program and an increase in the work of the , institution. Conditions in the state legislature, j he said, were chaotic a great deal of the time, with an insistent de- ! mand for economy, and some econo- ! my measures were proposed which -ere not the result of a careful ; diagnosis of the situation after de liberate study. "Up to the last five days of the session we did not know i whether or not we were going to have enough money to carry on the work of the Prosser experiment sta tion or even the main station here or our extension work." In discussing the work done in the interests of the State College, President Holland stated that staunch friends of the college and ; its work were found from every par' of the state, hosts of these firends, and some of them unexpected, bob bing up every day to assist in the college legislative program. Three or four of the strongest men of the senate and the house never saw the State College and know nothing of Its work or its needs he said. Comparing the state funds ex- I pended for higher education with those spent for other purposes, Dr. ' Holland stated that for the present j biennium 2.88 cents of every state dollar goes for higher education, as '■ against approximately 17 cents for roads and 33 cents for the public j schools. The .67 mill tax voted by the legislature for the maintenace of the State College becomes opera tive April 1, 1922, and until that time the strictest economy must be observed by the institution to pre vent a deficiency. "The regents and the officers of the college will see to It however, that a deficiency Is not created," he said. In closing, Dr. Holland paid his tribute to the Whitman county dele gation, to Senator E. T. Coman of Spokane and others, and suggested ( that the chamber of commerce show 'ts appreciation of the services ren- j dered by these men by entertaining the Whitman county delegation at ? special meeting to be held in the ] ear future. A motion embodying this suggestion carried unanimously and it was left to the officers of , the chamber to set a date for the ( .visitation and arrange for a pro- I gram.

Mr. Sanger was given ! many Important committee appoint ments and was in a position to ren der efficient services for his constitu- ' cuts.

Action to this effect was taken by the city council at its ses sion Tuesday night, the opinion of the city dads being that the corru gated concrete will come nearer solv ing the problem of steep hill paving than any other class of surface. The High street hill, from Main to Jack son street, and parts of Dexter street, in the Methodist hill district, and parts of College avenue in the Col lege Park district, will come under the corrugated concrete schedule in the paving program, the remainder of the 30 blocks in the two districts to be paved with bltullthlc. Work on Pullman's three big pav ing contracts will start as soon as weather permits, the cost of the three districts to approximate $140, --000, All Of the contracts were awarded to the Standard Asphalt Paving company of Spokane. The council last night added Coun cilman U. G. Lawler to its streets and highways committee, to serve during the period occupied by the road improvements included in the 1921 program. The city dads also confirmed the appointment of Clyde Myers as city engineer, Mr. Myers to have direct charge of the Improve ment work. Two ordinances were passed amending the ordinances creating Local Improvement Districts Nob. 31 and $8, the Methodist hill and Col lege Park paving districts. The amendments make it possible for City Engineer Myers to proceed with the compilation of his final estimate of cost of the Improvements as the work progresses^ so as soon as the , work is approved by the city the bonds will be ready for execution. WHEAT ON DOWNGRADE Sharp declines in the grain mar kets featured the activities of the I local grain offices this week. Sev- 1 eral small lots were sold by farmers 1 who gave up hope of a substantial recovery. Red wheat averaged around the 11.15 mark, with white wheat in the neighborhood of $*1.20. The market on both oats and barley is demoralized, nominal quotations being approximately >1.25 per hun dredweight on both cereals. WILMER APPROVES MARKETING BILL He Worked Hard c tho Measure and Relieves That, as Amended, it Will Benefit the- Wheat Growers We were very much rushed at the close and In the final "jam" many bills perished. Thanks to an able rules committee whose fairness was unquestioned the more meritorious measures obtained favorable position lon the calendar. The last 15 min j utes tor the consideration of bills i was consumed In a filibuster by cer tain Seattle senators against a Seat tle bill then on for consideration. The Seattle delegation was in a con tinuous wrangle during the session. The boxing bill and the racing bill both tailed in the house. Many sen ators voted for the bills relying on the house to kill them. Why? Trades, no doubt. Trading bill* is a reprehensible practice and is pun ishable in some states. In this letter I will not attempt to review the session. Space forbids. Further during" the last two weeks it was difficult to watch the course of legislation; it came too thick and fast. Like the soldier at the front, one's attention was absorbed by the operations in his immediate vicinity. My "front" was the farmers' mar keting bill. This came to my com mittee about In days before the close ot the session. As it came from the bouse with a vote of 80 to 8 and a demand thai not an "i" nor a "I" lie changed, it was dangerous alike to the public and the members of the wheal growers' association now tied by most rigorous contract. Of its 26 sections, but eight were let'! Intact, and these were for pro visions mainly formal and common to corporations. Two sections were etirely stricken; all the others were amended and eight new sections were added. It came near losing out on a point of order thai it was a new bill. In troduced too late for consideration All amendments were accepted by lie house, and warmly approved by the wheat growers. The measure now affords protec tion for them, their plans are less likely to miscarry, and the law pro vides for dissolution of the organi zation if the members desire it. be fore the six years contract expires. Personally, I came out of It fairly well. I was quite apprehensive when I went over. I found no difficulty in understandig what was transpir ing, and was able to vote according to my own judgment in most in stances. My estimate of men proved to be fairly accurate. In the mar keting bill I was able to do some thing constructive. I worked hard on the appropriations committee and ! in recognition was given a place (to my surprise) on the important sub committee. I Teamed to pull in harness with some of the best men in the senate and if I live to go back two years hence, l will be better qualified to serve the people of the district. F. J. WILMER. FOURTH OF .ILLY PLANS ARE WELL UNDER WAY The "Big Three" committee from ; the American Legion which has in charge the arrangements for the Fourth of July celebration is laying plans for a celebration that will bring to Pullman the biggest crowd ii. the town's history.
