TRIES TO FX All MARONEY 9 SISTER ro rx ALL On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise Ey Weather {STUDENTS ROBBED That’s the Way State Administration “Reduces Taxes”; Makes State “U” a Rich Man’s College (EDITORIAL) logists for the state administration are “pointing : pride” to a diminutive reduction that is being “made in next year’s tax levy. But nobody is mentioning with any perceptible pritle the swollen tuition fees, library fees, A. S. U. W. fees "and laboratory fees which our state university students are this week forced to pay. _ T Olympia officials’ showing of “economy” is mauc at the expense of the young men and women of the state who are trying to obtain a college education. Instead of making a real saving, the load is simply shifted onto different shoulders. There is nothing to be proud of in this fact. Rather, it is a disgrace to the staté of Washington, which used to boast of its unexcelled educational opportunities, open alike to all. Free public education is facing a fight for its life. The Seattle school board this fall took one step in the direction of abolishing.truly public schools. Its ef- fort was palpably illegal and the tuition fees it sought to establish in the high schools were promptly knocked out. These university fees are equally un- American, equally unjust, equally in conflict with what the public wants; but, unfortunately, they are not illegal, or they, too, would promptly be booted into oblivion. They were imposed by the state legislature—and it is the state legislature which must revoke them. The Star joins with the students, faculty members, alumni and intel- 43.
