A joint committee of regents from the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College, with Governor West, proposed an initiative to fund both institutions by a 7-10 mill property tax. The plan would replace yearly appropriations, guarantee steady annual support, and allow future building and operations, with initial funding set until tax revenue begins in 1914.
