Of the total appropriation $268,000 would be used for buying organi zational equipment on a matched basis. Cities would contribute 25 per cent, the state 25 per cent and the ' federal government 50 per cent. Of the additional $111,200 earmarked for mobile support the state would contribute 50 per cent and' 'the federal government 50 per cent. ' The committee approved a bill under which the 11 western states would cooperate in providing ed ucation in specialized graduate schools. Under this plan a state having an outstanding graduate school would accept students from other states, with the home state paying part of the tuition Com mittee members said this would make it possible to build up the current schools and make it un necessary for the states to estab lish more graduate schools of their own. Students from other states could come to the University of Oregon Medical school while Oregon stu dents could go to the Washington State Veterinary school. It - requires only five states to ratify the agreement and Oregon would be the fifth. The committee approved a $1, 738,349 appropriation for the state military department, plus $200,000 for the construction of armories. The ! federal government would contribute ' $600,000 for armory construction. First of the new armories are proposed at Baker, The Dalles and Forest Grove.
