Illgiil Lconomy Necessary Because
of K educed Appropriation
Is Statement.
SALEM, Or., April 26. (Special.)
It cost the state of Oregon nearly
twice as much to -cond.uct the adjutant-general's
office during the first
six months of the year 1919, while
it was located in Portland, than it
did the laHt six months of the year
while the department -was located in
Salem, according to a report prepared
by Conrad Stafrin, retiring adjutant
general, filed with Governor Olcolt
today.
General Stafrin's report shows that
rigid economy was practiced during
his administration, and especially
emphasized the saving to the state
since the adjutau general's depart
ment moved to Salem. During the
six months tho offices were located
in Portland the expense was JS582.01,
while during the last six months,
wliile the department was located In
Salem. th total cost was $3806.34.
The savins to the state during the
lx months following the removal of
the offices to Salem was ?2'J7i.63.
Hn I luted Strength 1278.
Total expenses of the military de
partment from January 1, 1919, to
April 15, 19:10. was 73, C48.47, while
the cost of the naval militia during
the same period aggregated $2,700.16.
The balance of the general appropri
ation is $26,451.53, of the naval ap
propriation is $7,299.54. and of the
contingent fund Is $3,577.35. or a
grand total of $37,32S.62. The roster
of military organizations in the state
which has received, federal recogni
tion, shows 127S enlisted men in the
service of the national guard, and 72
officers.
"The fact that the appropriation
for the maintenance of the national
guard has been materially reduced it
has required rigid economy to pro
vide for the necessary maintenance
for the organizations of units au
thorized," said the report. Having
In mind the policy as outlined that
economy without Impairment of ef
ficiency should be closely followed
the admlnst ration expense of the
adjutant-general's office has been
curtailed materially from time to
time.
"Owing to the reduced appropria
tion and the necessity for rigid econ
omy In the administration of the mili
tary forces of the state the remaining
balance of $26,51.53 is hardly suffi
cient to carry the military affairs
through another year until the next
appropriation is available."
Trust Fund May Be lard.
The report also shows there is a
trust fund In the hands of the adju
tant general subject to disbursement
on the signature of the governor. This
fund is known as the "Spanish War
Veterans' fund." Money in this fund
drawing Interest totals $1,107.5, with
$230.7. subject to check.

that it seems to neutralize any undue
