(Spe-cial.)-A new turn was given today to the political struggle which has been on at the Oregon Agricultural College, when the election, announced for this afternoon, was called off by President C A. Dickey on grounds of unconsti tutionality. Investigation of the student body constitution established the fact that officers who have presided over the assembly this year were never legally elected. An amendment, presumably passed two years ago, providing that the student body meeting should be held late in May, instead of the first of June, as had before been the rule, was never officially entered on the books, and never became a part of the con stitution, although it. waa considered in the setting of the date for nom ination and election of officers last year and this. Mass Meeting Is Held. A mass meeting, held on the lawn of the campus, tonight resulted in much heated ' discussion between the faction that desired an immediate election, re gardless of the constitutionality of the proposition and the faction that wanted to adhere to the letter of the law. A special meeting of the student body will be held Saturday noon, at which arrangements probably will be made -to hold the election next Monday afternoon. Never before at the college has there been such & political fight as this year. The big point around which the cam paign raged has been the editorship of the Borometer. Otto Ballhorn. Woodland, Wash., who was nominated for -the position of president of the student body 1 and editor-in-chief of the Barometer, last Monday night withdrew from the race for the presi dency, defaulting the position to Roy Miller, Spokane, Wash., the only other candidate Editorial Place Center of Fight. Since then attention has been con centrated on the fight for the editorial position. Ballhorn's opponent is O. B. Hayes, of Pasadena, Cal. Although the interest in other posi tions to be filled is by no means slight, the fight for control of the paper is the one around which the con troversy is centering. Both Ballhorn and Hayes have strong factions back ing them, and the belief is that the vote between them will be extremely close.

Blanchard Says Statute Was Based Upon Plan to Give Every, Man Square Deal and Calls Old Act Unjust. MONMOUTH., Or.. May 21 (Special.) C. E. Spence, of Oregon City, was re elected master of the State Grange at the annual election here today. There was a keen interest throughout; the election, with several candidates for the principal positions. H. Hirschberg, of Independence, was chosen as treas urer. - Mary S. Howard, of Mulino, was re-elected secretary. The other offi cers are: Lecturer, Mrs. E. A. Burd; overseer, J. Huffman, New Era; stew ard, M. P. Young, Clatskanie; assist ant steward, Charles Hayes; chaplain, Cyrus H. Walker, Forest Grove; gate keeper, C. C. Boreland; Ceres, Mrs. M. Reed: Pomona, Mrs. Ruth Mihills. Grants Pass; Flora, Mrs. G. A. Sargent, Wasco; L. A. S.. Mrs. E. R. Allen. E. E. Blanchard, of Josephine Coun ty, was called upon to discuss the new tax law. His firsr statement was that the new law had more enemies than it deserved: that it had been misrepre sented and misunderstood, and that the authors and supporters of the law had made an honest effortT .to remove the serious objection to the old law. Old Law Analyzed. He analyzed the old law and said it had been enacted in the interest of the man who had money. He took up thu 3 per cent rebate and demonstrated how the 3 per cent profit to the man with the money had to be paid with the 12 per cent interest of the man who had no money, that the man who paid one half of his tax and asked that the other half run six months without in terest did so at the expense of the man who was unable to pay anything. On this Mr. Blanchard said: "Suppose that A, B and C represent the three methods of payment and that each was based upon $100. On this basis A saves 3 per cent rebate, or $3. C, not being able to pay anything, loses 12 per cent interest on J100 for six months, or $6. Had B been paying the same interest as C he, too, would have paid out $3. Dut not being called to do so, B saved $3. It will thus be seen that A gives $3, B gains $3, and C lost $6. It is evident, then, that it requires C's loss to balance A's and B's gains. 'To him that hath shall be given, but to him that hath not shall be taken away that which he hath.' " New Law Is Defended. Mr. Blanchard insisted that the new tax law was based upon a "square deal and exact justice between man and man." that too many of the laws were made in- the interest of the man with the money, and that if it is not stopped "we will soon be paying out more money in charities than is now gatned by robberies." "I have discovered that the princi pal agitators against the new tax law have been the men with money who lost their rebate," he continued. "The tearsthey shed at the awful injustice by the poor man would suffice to launch, a ship; The law smply re moves the. advantage from one to bal ance the disadvantage of the other, so that when the advantage of A and B are taken away there was not longer any need for the 12 per cent interest against C. This was therefore re moved, and while under the old law the books were closed for six months they are now open all the time, so that B and C can each pay the debt they owe the county on the same terms.' Road Bonds .Opposed. The Grange went on record here tonight as opposed to any bonding issue for roads, declaring money for all road-building purposes should be paid at the time of the building. Fed eral, state and county aid was favored Federal aid to the state, state aid to the county and county aid. to the dis trict. Semi-annual payment of taxes was favored, with a- rebate except on de linquencies. A constitutional amend ment -for county commission govern ment was favored. Abolition of- all fish and game laws was emphatically recommended and desire expressed that all hatcheries be discontinued. Abolishing all useless boards and commissions .was recom mended. A report soon will be given on a new co-operative plan.
