THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN. TOURED AY NOVEMBER 21, 1918. ill GUARD IS UPHELD BY GOV E 10 Economy Cited as Reason for Federal Organization. THIRD OREGON IS FAVORED Executive Says Picketing or Intimi dation in Strikes Will 'ot Be Tolerated. In Oregon. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) The fact that removal of Federal troops from Oregon will leave the atate practically helpless as to internal dis orders which might arise; the nec essity for some co-ordinated force over which, the chief executive has direct control to quell such disorders, and the fart that with Federal aid it is the cheaper and more economical form of guard protection than that accorded by the Home Guard, are given as reasons by Governor Withycombe why he be lieves that the organization! the new National Guard should be continued uninterruptedly. Trouble is liable to come internally in this or any other state, and a state should be protected against such event uality." said Governor Withycombe, in assigning his reasons for his belief in the organisation of the new National Guard. National Guard Favarrd. "We have three military organiza tions in Oregon, the military police being the only one directly under the control of the state. The Home Guards are under the Sheriffs, and with them there is no co-ordination or no central ised authority as a state organization. The removal of Federal troops from the state will leave it practically help less as far as protection is concerned in a military sense. "My plan Is to follow the Federal suggestion and to organize one regi ment to be known as the Third Oregon, a name rich in tradition in this state. I would like to see the name of that regiment perpetuated, as we are all proud of its record. I would suggest that an engineer's corps be incorpo rated within this regimer... "Such an organization will be a re liance In case of any trouble, and cheaper for the state as a whole, as the Government will equip them, pro viding allowances for uniforms, guns, etc. While the state might have to pay for this equipment at first, it will be reimbursed for the expenditure by the Federal Government. Fair Treatment la Aim. ' "The Home Guard expense falls upon the counties, which is upon the tax payers, and consequently the state actually escapes no expense for that reason. "I wish to make my position clear on one thing that as long as I am Governor there will be no picketing or intimidation and all strikes must be settled in an orderly way. Any man must not be molested who wants to work, and no riots or intimidation will be permitted. I hope the Legislature may be able to evolve some plan pro viding that all industrial disputes be referred to some competent board of conciliation and arbitration for adjust ment. "I am not unfriendly to labor., but there are certain proprieties which must be observed. While that is aside, it helps explain my attitude toward the necessity for some strong military organization for protection against the possibilities which I do not expect to arise, but which may come at any time. "The cost of the new National Guard, so far. has been very nominal in fact, virtually nothing, you might say. The headquarters and officials connected with it would have had to be main tained whether there had been a guard or not because of work for the Gov ernment in connection with the select ive service act and other Federal de mands." I w Guard Kipeiae Light. The Governor's estimate of the cost of the new guird so far Is borne out by the records in the Secretary of State's office, which show that aside from the charges for the headquarters, which would have been maintained be cause of Federal demands regardless of the creation of the new National Guard, that the guard itself since its inception has probably cost no more than $1000. This, of course. Is exclusive of ex penses for the military police, and is eliminating a charge of something over 12300 for an officers' school. This school was attended by officers in the Home Guard units, as well as In the National Guard, and it is Impossible to segregate the expense credited against the respective organizations. The total estimated expense for maintenance of the military department during the next biennial is placed at $334,000. This includes $76,000 for the military police and $4000 for instruc tion in connection with high school and university military training. Charging these off as not being directly against the National Guard, an estimated main tenance appropriation of $154,000 la left, or $1000 less than the appropria tion made for the maintenance of the guard by the last Legislature. In addition the estimate asks for $3000 for drainage system at Clacka mas station mobilization camp. For arms and eauiDment $45,000 is niked In this connection it is mentioned in the estimate that in time of war emer Igencles it is practically Impossible to depend upon the Federal (jovernmeni for arms and equipment. The Govern ment provides for the reimbursement for these, and with the war emergency probably past, this item will also un doubtedly be checked off. Already there are 3000 rifles in the state for guard Dumoses. An additional sum of $2000 is asked for renovation of armories, $5000 as a contingent fund for the Adjutant-Gen eral and $10,000 for emergency aid to civil authorities. How far these items will get in the Legislature is, of course, problematical. However, additional ap propriations estimated above the main tenance charges for the next biennium are not greatly above those appropri ated, aside from maintenance two years ago. With what will be cut off from the estimates by the .Legislature it is ap parent the proposed military expenses for the new guard will be virtually on a par with those for the biennium Just closing. GCARD WILJj OCCUPY ARMORY Plans for Housing Local Organiza tion Perfected at Conference. Definite arrangements for the dual occupation of the Armory by the Mult nomah Guard and the Oregon National Guard, with provisions for the housing of certain companies of the formet regiment in the Atkinson School, were perfected yesterday. Adjutant-General Beebe. member of the conference com mittee, said that all possibility of fu ture friction had been removed. Colonel Campbell, commanding the Multnomah Guard, consulted with R. H. Thomas, school clerk, yesterday after noon relative to repairs and alterations needed in the Atkinson School before It Is occupied by the designated com panies of the home defense regiment. The school structure, but one block distant from the Armory, will at once be electrically lighted and repaired by workmen of the school district, with material expenses defrayed by the $1000 fund appropriated by Governor v ltnry combe for that purpose. Both the Multnomah Guard and the new Oregon National yuard will have neaaquaners in mc flniwi?. f iciwhi Danles of Multnomah Guard infantry, A. D. E. G and H. with the transport company and hospital corps, will be quartered in the Atkinson School, which is to be ready' for occupation by the first of next week. Companies is. and C. the machine-gun detachment, the supply company, headquarters com pany and Multnomah Guard Band are to remain at quarters in the Armory. Some alterations in the Armory will be necessary, said Adjutant-General Beebe, for the housing of both organ izations. These will be made without delay. NO LIMITATIONS ON SHOES RESTRICTIONS ON PRICES AND STYLES TO BE REMOVED. Plan of Control Worked Out by War Industries Board Aban doned Since Peace. Shoe retailers would have sold their wares on a Government-approved basis if the armistice had not been signed, ac cording to the State Council of Defense for Oregon. A telegram received yesterday from John S. Gravens, of the National Coun cil of Defense canceled preceding in structions which were Just about to have been sent out to Oregon shoe re tailers. The change was made because of the request of the War Industries Board -which Informed the council that the shoe programme was, by agreement with the trade, limited to the period of I direct war requirements. At the sign ing of- the armistice representatives of the trade recommended that price limi tations be dropped with the general conservation programme. This insures "milady" of having leather boots in as many colors as she chooses to buy during the coming sea sons. Many thoe styles, colors and leathers had voluntarily been omitted from the Spring buying programme as one of the ways in which the merchants could do their "bit." The programme worked out by the Government included a plan in which all shoes would be grouped in four classes to be retailed at prices as signed with the approval of the War Industries Board. Fledge cards were to have been distributed among dealers to be placed in show windows to inform the public which stores were on a Gov ernment basis. -"! j ' M ' nsiis l sfti Enjoyable Work whether mental, manual or cleri caldepends very greatly on the clearness and ease of vision.
