I P1?' The personnel of those men give posi tive assurance, no matter which three are elected, that La Grande will carry out to the letter the new charter crusade after the state appropriation had been exhausted. , It would seem, then, that the governor is entirely safe in expressing his contempt for Attorney General Crawford's opinion that the board had no right to reim burse the governor. The strength of the attorney general's opinion is, in fact, unassailable. There is nothing left for the governor but to throw bricks. the emergency board has power only to authorize a state official to create a deficit in cases where funds t, are exhausted for carrying on the work of an established department or institution, remarks the Oregonian. It is made unlawful for any state off i- cial to expend a greater sum than is ' appropriated by the legislature, ex cept upon authority of the emergency board. Th governor expended $1, 466 for certain measures of law-enforcement: without the authority of ' ' the Emergency' board or legislature, but he used his own money. The law makes no exceptions in favor of per sonal funds as against state funds. If a governor or any other official may ' thus pledge the good faith of the state to pay1ba( $1,466, he has the power to involve the state for any sum, either $1,456 or $1,466,000. . The, governor's contention, in fact, is that he has the right to create a deficit in any amount and the emerg ency board has no alternative but to approve. Yet under the West admin istration there were to be no deficits. There Will be none until next time. NOTICE TO WATER USERS..
