UNIVERSAL SERVICE
BILL IS FAVORED
CORVALLIS SOON WILL HAVE ONE OF MOST MODERN HIGH SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN STATE.
Measure Providing Training of
" 19-Year-OId Boys Re
v ported in Senate.
RESERVE DUTY FOLLOWS
All Would Be Subject to Call for
"Defensive War" for Xlne Years.
General Staff Wants Year
for Drilling Period.
WASHINGTON1, Feb. 10. The Senate
military committee reported favorably
a. bill framed by a subcommittee creat
ing a military and naval citizenship
force based on universal training- and
service. While the committee report
does not Indicate any belief that Con
gress will act on the measure at this
cession, the bill brings to a definite
head the universal service discussion of
the last few months and offers a spe
cific plan on which public sentiment
can crystallize.
The bill requires six months' training
without pay for all youths during their
19th year. Exemptions are confined to
the members of the regular Army and
Navy, those physically unfit, those who
are the sole support of dependent rela
tives and those affiliated with religious
creeds which forbid them to bear arms.
The latter class are liable, however, for
training in the non-combatant branches
pf the Army.
500,000 Animal Draft Provided.
' It Is estimated the bill would pro
Vide for the training of 500.000 boys
annually, each of whom would be fur
loughed Into a reserve for nine years
fter his training period.
With allowances for shrinkage of
classes due to various causes as the
years pass, this plan would give a total
force of 3.165,000 men who had had six
months' training, at the end of the
first nine-year cycle, all subject to call
for servioe only in the event of a "de
fensive" war or the imminence thereof.
The bill disagrees with the theory of
the Army General Staff as to the
amount of training necessary to make
a soldier fit to go on the battle lines,
although it contemplates about the
total strength proposed by staff offi
cers. A year of intensive instruction
has been declared by Major-General
Scott, the Chief of Staff, to be the mini
mum of safety for the training of even
defensive soldiers.
Staff Bill Jfe-rly Heady.
A universal training bill carrying the
Indorsement of virtually the entire
membership of the General Staff and
based on a year's training, Is almost
ready for final submission to Secretary
Baker and the President. Neither offi
cial has committed himself on the prin
ciple of universal training.
The committee measure, which Is
based on that prepared by Major Mose-
lcy, formerly of the Army General
Staff, fixes military training as a duty
of citizenship, denying naturalization
until such training has been at least
begun or exemption granted.
All Government employment would
lie closed to those who could not pro
duce certificates of training or exemp
tion, and private employers would be
similarly prohibited from employing
any man who has evaded his military
service. A blanket penalty with
maximum of $1000 fine and a year's im
prisonment for each offense is provided
for the violation of any section of the
act except that those who evade train
Inn when liable for It must serve a
longer time.
9 Years In Reserve Prescribed.
For nine years, or until-he has passed
his 28th year, each reservist would be
required to appear in person before the
registration authorities of his military
district. In case of war the youngest
classes would be called first. After his
28th year a reservist would pass into
the great body of the unorganized
militia, subject only to the general
laws.
The bill provides no organization
after the troops leave training, but
wide latitude Is given in this regard.
No changes in the present National
tluard system are provided for. Train
ing would be In military districts com
prising single states or groups of small
rtates, and the establishment by lease
cr purchase of training cantonments In
each district is directed-. Registration
and medical examining boards for each
district or subdivision also would be
appointed by the President, the word of
the latter as to the physical fitness to
be final, while action of the registra
tion boards on exemptions could be ap
pealed to the Federal District Courts.
Youths liable for training would be re
quired to report themselves or be re
ported by parents or guardians.
Choice of Army or A'avy Given.
To encourage preliminary military
training, such as that given in schools,
credit to a maximum of three months,
or one-half the total required period,
might be allowed. The applicant could
eelect either Army or Navy service.
Officers and enlisted men of the
rt-gular services could be commissioned
In the citizen army, but would receive
the pay of their grades only while on
active duty, not during training
periods. Provision is made for com
. missioning- volunteer officers, selected
by examination from men who have
had experience in the National Guard,
military or naval training camps, at
military schools or colleges or who
have served their own six months
training period under the act. These
officers would be liable annually for
three years for two months' duty in
training troops and could be promoted
only on examination and compliance
with training regulations to be fixed
by the President. Machinery for the
discharge of officers on unfavorable
findings as to their qualifications by
efficiency boards Is also provided.
Liiinor Sale Restricted.
The sale of intoxicating liquors to
a member of the citizen army or navy
while in uniform is forbidden. Another
feature is that men who have com-
fleted their training would be entitled
o wear a rosette showing the class
to which they belong.
Officials of the General Staff are In
clined to disapprove the bill, particu
larly because of the six .months' train
ing period. They declare that even the
year minimum fixed in the staff plan
contemplated only 50 per cent of the
efficiency of the average European re
quirement for training.
The staff officere are inclined also
to feel that inadequate provision is
made for training personnel. A force
of 500,000 men, they say, requires a
minimum of 17,000 officers, at least
60 per cent of whom must be profes
eional soldiers, if anything resembling
Intensive training is to be given in six
months. The full commissioned
strength of the regular "Army under
the National defense act will be less
than 12,000 officers, and it is pointed
out that if 8000 of these were to be
detached for training purposes for six
months out of each year, training of
the regulars or any use of that force
would be virtually impossible. It is
understood that the staff bill takes
these points into consideration.

Experiment Stations Depend
on Own Appropriations.
LEGISLATORS ARE ADVISED
Oregon Agricultural College Asserts
Money From One Division Not
j Used to Meet Expenses
of Another.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) "No
part of the appropriations to branch
experiment stations is used directly or
Indirectly for work ai the Agricultural
College," says a statement to the joint
ways anq means committee, filed with
that committee by the college today.
All work of this institution and the
expenditures therefor are adjusted in
accordance with a resolution of the
board of regents, which provides that
the work of resident instruction (in
cluding the development of the college
plant), the Agricultural Experiment
Station and the extension service shall
be paid from funds provided respect
ively for these divisions. Under this
resolution no money for one of the
divisions can be used to meet the ex
penses of any other division.
Salary Adjustment Made.
In cases where the time of mem
bers of the staff Is divided between
the work of any of these divisions.
their salaries are adjusted accordingly.
Professor Potter, for instance, receives
$100 of his salary from the Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station funds. Pro
fessor Potter has charge of all the In
vestigational work with livestock of
this station. He not only works out
the general plans but spends several
weeks each year at the station in con
nection with this work. In a few cases
where supervisory work by members
of the college staff requires so little
time that there is practically no Inter
ference with other duties, no allow
ance Is made In salaries from station
funds.
Appropriations Are Shown.
"The following table shows the an
nual branch experiment stations and

of each station to persons whose head
quarters are at the college at Corvallis
