In defense of the bill reoently passed by the legis lature appropriating f 100.004 for the oonatruet ton ..of arinorlea for .the jse of me stat . troop throughout the etate. writes the following statement to The JournaL Oeneral . Finser . make the point that It 1 unjust to nullify the law through tho referendum because of the fact that at no place la tha state outside of Portland and Eugen 1 there an adequate armory for the uae of the etate troop and the housing of the equipment furnished by the United State government ' The ' atatement mad by General Finser a follow: ' Improperly moused. "Referring to a statement in your Is sue of recent date that the grange would demand a referendum on the bill passed by the last legislature to appropriate 424.000 a year, for four year to build armorle for the National Ouard of the State, It aeema pertinent to inquire If they understand the term of the bill end the necessity that exists for this appropriation. The increase of value In the state 1 such that it I almost Impossible for companies,- outside of Portland, where a fine armory haa been provided by Multnomah county, to find decent boualng for the amount alloted by the atate for company expense. Many armories now used aro mere barns and all but one the excellent armory st Eugene, wholly unfitted for their pur- pose. "Tho United State government Is now furnishing nearly all of the military equipment for the atate troops, amount Ing annually to more than 414.000 and every captain Is responsible under his bond for over $1,000 of United States property which he . ha fo mean of properly caring for. and which when lost either he or the etate . will have to pay for; a great deal of thi property baa already un accountably disappeared, for under these circumstances to hold an officer financially responsible for all the prop erty Issued him and yet provide him no adequate mean of protecting or caring for It, docs not seem to the lay mind to be right or Just. This money pro vided for In tht bill is more of a loan than an outright appropriation a It provldea that rent shall be paid to the itate by each company for use of th armory. ; ' - . ; BUt looses Votalng. . . "The companies to be provided with armories under this act are now paying about IS. 000 a year tn rents which will In about 10 years' time return the whole mnitnt thm at.t. t r. .lir-V It im tVia nlln nf the mlllt.rv hnar that ' every town where a company exists, the ground shall be provided for by the cltixens of that town and when com pleted, the building and ground will bo long to the state and increase In value with the Increase of population and business, so that In th end. the state will lose nothing and msy make money on the transaction. The way In which the money Is provided, 124.000 year, make It an Inappreciable tax which no nn person can possibly feel, while th benefit to the stat -will be enormous. "The state militia I not only a school for Instruction tn th military art and preparation for war, but I on of th very beat of school for good cltlsen ship. There Is hardly a cltlsen In the state but what would have been bene fitted and his character and usefulness Increased by serving a term la th state guard. , 'i o the rising generation this kind of schooling is of immense value. When these building are com pleted they will . greatly benefit the stat guard. The armorle will be their home, their military club rooms, where they not only meet and drill, but can hold their game and athletle exercises and social function. o necessary to keep up Interest and enthusiasm fn th unpaid military force. Beside this, fh defense of th country must rest on the people. . "Congress - will never provide a suf ficient army to relieve them from that necessity, and our people should take th same pride th Swiss do In seeing to It that every man liable to military flinty I armed and trained to meet any emergency that may arlae, and th Na tional Guard la th only place to do It.

"In the report of the adjutant general of th United State army to th secre tary .of war the following In reference to armories i nera eopiea: Tt I evident that to obtain and maintain a high degree of efficiency In th militia, provision must be made for th boualng and comfort or th troop. a well a for their equipment and In struction. Th militia of th several state and territories and of th Dis trict of Columbia ha been armed and quipped and ha been provided with ammunition, olothlag, and tentag by th federal government, and at th last session of congress provision was made for the equipment, construction and maintenance of shooting galleries and ranges.

The reason given for a big cherry crop -by Mr.- Reld are that the continued cold weather of th paat month baa prevented blooming, ao that th danger of frost later In th season haa beeji greatly lessened. "Last year May Duke end Governor Wood cherrlea were in bloom by Mareh 2$ and thi year they have not yet com mence to bloom.
