PRESIDENT BACKS LEHMAN WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—(AP) —An appeal for the re-election of Governor Lehman, of New York, was made today by President Roosevelt, but, smilingly, he de clined to pledge himself straight down the line on the Democratic ticket. Declaring, somewhat to the sur prise of a packed press conference, that it would be amazing to know how often he had voted for indi vidual Republicans, the chief exec utive plainly made a bid for disre gard of party lines in choosing candidates.

Boyer Strikes at 20-Mill Tax Limitation Bill University Would Close, Says President Morse Is Speaker Gilbert Joins in Attack on Measure; Renner Asks Student Support President C. V. Boyer took a stand of active opposition to the proposed 20-mill tax limitation amendment yesterday when he in formed a throng of students, fac ulty, and townspeople that in event of the passage of the bill at Tues day’s general election “without special legislation the University would close indefinitely—probably next June—or at best could con tinue for only a part of next year.” Boyer's talk climaxed a series of faculty denunciations of the 20 mill and healing arts amendments delivered before yesterday’s mass meeting in Gerlinger hall. Dr. Boyer intimated that the University has not officially joined the fight before now because the charge might be made that its fac ulty members were “selfish,” as the institution is tax supported. The wave of opposition to the mea sure, however, has convinced the officials that thinking people are beginning to understand the intent of the amendment, which, he de clared, is to further the selfish in terests of those sponsoring it, rather than benefitting the public. Gilbert Speaks Evils of the bill were also point ed out by James H. Gilbert,) dean of social sciences, who condemned it as a “destructive measure which has not one constructive idea from the first word to the last.” Dean Wayne L. Morse of the school of law attacked the proposed healing arts amendment with the warning that “We must observe its discrep ancies, and be aware of the racket eering which might result from its passage.” Dean Gilbert asserted that he had always been an advocate of lower taxation, but that he stood opposed to a reduction so sweeping in its scope that such state insti tutions as the school, police pro tection, and public health, would be left in the discard. “The bill tries to standardize and advise where it is utterly impossible to standardize,” claimed Dr. Gilbert, “and misrepresentation of the evil effects which will be wrought by the bill is one of the worst parts of the campaign.” In showing the effects which the bill will have on the school system of Oregon, Dean Gilbert explained that the bill allows for but two mills to be allotted to schools. At the present time, the elementary schools alone are exceeding two mills in their expenditures, to say nothing of money needed by the high schools and the University of Oregon. At the present time, it would be possible for the University to se cure money from other sources through the legislature, but should the 20-mill tax limitation bill be passed, there would be no money with which to pay a governor, a legislature, or any organ of the state government. Dean Gilbert pointed out that any legislature would quickly decide that a state system of government was far more important than a University, (Please turn to page 3) Kehrli Finds Midwest Cities Hard Hit by Tax Limitation 4413EPORTS show tax limitation measures which have been passed in other states aren’t work ing out so good,” said Herman Kehrli, director of the bureau of municipal 'research and service and executive secretary of the leagues of Oregon cities, on his return Wednesday from Chicago. In the midwest metropolis he represented Oregon municipalities at the an nual convention of the national federation of leagues of municipal ities. "West Virginia and Michigan," he went on to say, “have passed the most drastic tax limitations. N’ext year 78 out of 110 cities will not be allowed to levy taxes for operating expenses. In many of these 78 cities, all civic functions, including the fire and police de partments have been discontinued, the city as an organized body prac tically closing down.” Movements to give cities a share as high as 25 per cent of the state gasoline tax have been launched in many of these destitute cities, he continued. To meet the emergency munici palities of Wisconsin and Michi gan have banded together for co operative purchasing. In Michi gan the smaller cities have seved about $50,000 on fire hose alone through cooperative purchasing. Planning, Kehrli said, is expand ing and including not only cities but also rural districts. The scope of the planning is also being en larged to include adult eeducation and things of social significance besides the purely physical aspect. On his way east Kehrli attended the national conference on city planning held held at St. Louis. Marshall N. Dana represented the four northwestern states at this conference. Reports indicated, said Mr. Kehrli, that the federal pro gram for regional planning was getting enthusiastic support from all regions.

Dope Favors Duck Victory Over Grizzly Grads, Dads to Witness Conference Tilt Contest Starts at 2 Web foot Eleven in Cocky Mood; Montana Line Light Dads and Grads will get a first hand view of Prink Callison’s 1934 football team at 2:00 on Hayward field today when the Oregon eleven lines up for the kick-off against the Montana Grizzlies. A slushy field bids fair to complicate mat ters with thrills, spills and per haps an unexpected turn in the game. On paper the, Lemon-Yellow has an overwhelming advantage over Montana. Last week Montana was beaten 13 to 6 by Idaho while Oregon has scored a 13 to 6 victory over the Potato Staters. Further evidence of an Oregon vic tory is seen in the fact that Web foot linemen outweigh their Mis soula opponents 10 pounds per man.
