POLICE HELD UNNECESSARY
Emergency Board Member Declares
Jt Is His Duly to Safeguard .
Interests of Taxpayers.
In response to the charges of un
patriotism made against him by Gov
ernor Wlthycombe at the meeting of
the Emergency Board at Salem Mon
day, Senator Gus C. Moser yesterday
prepared the following statement of
Ms position concerning allowance of
the full amount of the emergency ap
propriation asked by the Agricultural
College:
"As a member of the Emergency
Board It Is my duty to see that the
taxpayers' interests are safely guarded,
and that no unnecessary so-called
emergency appropriations are made.
This Kmergency Board has already
authorized nearly 600,000 of deficien
cies, and the greater portion of this
has been asked and given in the name
of patriotism.
"Some of these should not have been
voted for, but because we were led to
believe that they were military neces
sities we passed them with patriotic
fervor. No good loyal American would
do otherwise. But when we find we
have been imposed upon In the name
of patriotism, I feel that it is time
closely to scrutinize every subsequent
appeal made in that same name.
Patriotism Is laalleagrd.
"I think I may say with becoming
modesty that I need not take a back
seat in the matter of patriotic devotion
to my country at all times, and espe
cially since we have been engaged In
this great war for world freedom and
democracy. 1 am one of the Govern
ment's four-minute men. and have made
numerous patriotic addresses in nearly
all parts of the state. Have been a
speaker In each of the liberty loan
campaigns, have contributed to the
limit of my ability to each of the Bed
Cross. T. M. C. A. and other charitable
war activities, and purchased liberty
bonds even beyondthe limit of my real
ability. No one can honestly challenge
my patriotism or my devoted loyalty to
the cause of our world-beloved Re
public "Then what is" my offense? I saw
fit to differ with our Governor and
some of the other members of the
board as to the necessity for an addi
tional appropriation of j37.43 for the
Oregon Agricultural College. Let it be
remembered that Senator 'Wood, of
Hillsboro, chairman of the Senate ways
and means committee and one of the
seven members of the Kmergency
Board, who was present at a roeet
. ing of the board & few weeks ago
when President Kerr first presented
his request, had telegraphed the board
that he could not be present at this
meeting, but that he would not vote
for the appropriation if he were pres
ent. Keoaomy Needed at College.
"Senator Wood is a member of the i
Military Exemption Board of Washing
ton. County and its examining physi
cian, and I suppose he, likewise, must
be branded as "unpatriotic' and 'hav
ing committed a crime against the
state of Oregon' because he does not
se things as the State Board of Con
trol sees them.
The Oregon Agricultural College
claims that an emergency exists be
cause of the large attendance in the
S. A. T. C, and that they need this
extra $37,435 on that account. The
Oregon University has 525 young men
in its S. A. T. C, and President Camp
bell said he thought they would be
able to get along on their appropria
tion, although they might have to ask
for a small amount later.
"If the Oregon Agricultural College
had practiced economy In its adminis
tration and eliminated some unneces
sary expenses, such as the increase of
its president's salary under peculiar
circumstances, there would have been
no need of any call whatever upon our
board. However, I was willing to give
them $15,000, and I am satisfied that
this sum, together with the amount
they still have unexpended, would be
sufficient if they practiced the same
economy required of the individual.
Police Held Kfctravaganee.
- 'When Governor Wlthycombe lost his
head and called me 'unpatriotic be
cause I would not do as he wanted
me to do. I replied that I would match
my patriotism with his at any time,
and reminded him that he had sad
dled the military police upon us by
the same method of appealing to our
patriotism: that he told us he had
secret information from Washington
which be could not divulge, and that
our crops and industries were in grave
danger of destruction: that relying
upon this wc had voted a quarter of
a million of the taxpayers' money for
the military police, when it was wholly
unnecessary: that they were of no use
and nothing but a political organiza
tion. "He answered that they saved our
wheat crops in Kastern Oregon and our
mills and factories, to which I replied
that Washington had no military police
and her crops and her properties were
protected equally as well as our own."

CANNING SEASON EXTENDED
Permits for Sugar May Be Obtained
Vntil November 1.
Sugar permits for 10 pounds to be
used for canning purposes will be re
newed until November 1, according to
W. K. Newell, of the Portland food ad
ministration office.
The original plan was to discontinue
the use of permits for canning after
the 19th of this month. On Monday and
Tuesday so many phone calls from
Portland housewives came to Mr. New
ell with the statement that they had
not yet finished canning that it was
decided to add two more weeks to the
time in which additional sugar can be
bought. The Government is anxious
that no large amount of sugar will be
used in preserves or jellies. Preserves
and Jellies, with the exception of a
few glasses to which every household
is entitled for children, old people and
invalids, are considered luxuries, and
Lheir use in war times Is considered
an patriotic.
