Spanish American "War veterans roiut obtain certifieales from tin eterans' administration headquarter st Washington. D. C. in order to claim exemption of $1000 arsenfied trI uat Ion because of 40 nor cent or greater disability, It U Indicated in a statement received by Counly Asseasor Ken F. Keeney Saturday from 0. V. Calloway of the stnte tax commission. A letter from the regional nd.ntdl .cation officers nt Porllntid certifying a to dinabllily is sufficient proof for world war veterans wInhlriR to claim the exemption. It wns stated In th letter from Mr. flnllowny. Rome question has arisen here as to what proof of disability Spanish War veterans should make to the assessor, and Mr. Keeney asked the tax commission for won specific Instructions. Some veterans have been of the opinion that by showing their pensions they could prove sufficient disability to come within thp coemption prli'llege. but Mr. Keeney has been of (lie opinion that a certificate from the veterans administration was necessary. Mr. Galloway letter supports Mr. Kneney'n theory, pointing out that due to different regulations ns to age. etc.. It Is dlffinilt to tell from the size of the pension check lust what the percentage of disability is. Leonard (Mikel Cross, a Spanish War veteran, following the rmessnr'H instructions, wrote to the Veterans administration and reeelred such a rertifiente as Mr. Keeney has re quired. This. Mr. Callmvny "aid. Is suffielrnt proof that the certificntp can be obtained with little difficulty. An Enna Jettick aerocar. a trailer used as a snmple room by S. I.

Note that the increase for the University of Oregon, exclusive of the medical school, accounts for only .7 of one per cent and higher education but 5 per cent. Roads and elementary education accounts for 61.4 percent of the total Increase, while cities and ports account for 32.9 percent of the increase. EDUCATION FUNDS STORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) and some of them feel that th only way out will he to finance major operations in each school first ana then financo minor course If there Is any money left to financ with. I'nder such a procedure, the State College's major courses in agricul ture, engineering and domestic sci ence and the. Vniversity's major courses In pure, acienco, medicine, law, business, journalism and the liberal nrts would first he given a working allowance. Then if there were any money left the board would try to make a nominal setup to cover "ser vice courses" such as Oregon State's journalism and fine arts and the Uni versity's domestic science. Touchers Not Roplaced Both school have alrendy been re ducing faculty by the process of not replacing teachers who have gone to other colleges. All salary Increases have been suspended. All extra help, so far as possihle, has been dropped from the payrolls. The presidents have been adverse to making horizontal cuts in salary schedules because the Oregon schools have always been far below the aver age for American colleges and be cause such action might have disas trous effect on the Mnmling of the schools nnd their ability to get the U'st teaching talent In the future. Oregon State'a tuition fees and other charges to Oregon pupils and out-of-stnte pupils have been brought up to the level maintained for several years by the University nnd this may add close to $100,000 to gross rev enues. Plana are being made to keep the course offerings on nbout the name level n In previous years hut to do It by increasing the size of clauses and the hours of teaching required ot each instructor. Hut the problem of saving the money Is still a serious one if all major functions are to be kept Intn'ct.

The board i said to be divided on whether or not to open the meetings. One important, matter to come be fore the meeting has to do with the proposal to centralize all financial management, presumably at Salem, under the direction of K. K. TJndsey, the iKiard's secretary. The presidents Irotli have objected to the plan on the ground that they cannot bn respon sible for economical administrution if financial control is out of their hands. l-'rom outside points, fjndsey'a of fice is nlso under fire on the ground that It has cost $50,000 a b.ennium to maintain his office at Salem and that this expenditure is not necessary at this time, especially since his work Is not connected directly with educa tional work hut consists mainly of keeping the board members point Tip on what the schools are doing and what the press Is saying. Medical School Suffers (lover nor Meier in recent weeks hag adopted a hands off policy so far as the board is concerned, though It wan the support of business groups friendly to the Meier administration which financed the last bunch of sig natures on the referendum petition that tied up the $1.1S1,000. Meier is known to be hostile to Lindsey's of fice and he may Insist that it he abol ished in the name of economy. The board has till July 1 to com plete Its budgeting, but It la being urged to hasten Its decision as rapid ly as possihle since none of the schools can get organized for next year's work until the budgeting Is settled. The plight of the medical school nnd the hospitals connected with it Is a particularly complicating factor In the present situation since abnost nil their funds were wiped nut by the referendum tieup. They must now be financed put of the general budget and they will make n hole in other activi ties. As it is, Doernbccher hospital has been npernting at only about hnlf capacity for lack of futuN, despite the fact that. It Is flooded with applica tions. Many of the hoard members feel that when the tin mediate problems are settled the first job of the new centralized publicity service mint be to put higher education In a better light with the Oregon public. They feel that hiirher education hn teen the chief victim of a tax saving cam paiirn which should have had a wider scope to ta ke in t he local spending hoVies which have been responsible ARRIVED 625 WILLAMETTE THE EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD MODEL chiefly for tax Increases. Tb ac companying table shows the relative ly small part higher education baa bad in tax increases. The lutest development in the swift-1 ly moving automotive industry, is the presentation of a light-six with costly car appearance and feu tures, ut a price that makes its announcement a piece of real niws even iu a field where the unusual occurs with com monplace frequency. Answering the demand of the times for greater dollar value iu commodi ties, Durant has produced the model 01U a four-door, five-puKtenger, six window sedan with new distinctive lines and an entirely different motif iu radiator design. The Ourant-built body is mounted on a double drop frame, with lOU-inch whcelbase. In presenting this latest addition to the Durant JinP, George II. Moriarty, vice-president and general manager of 'the luinint Motor company of Califor nia, offers the following descriptive data: "Quite iu keeping with the low streumliues of the experior, the new est Durant model has a smartly tailor ed interior, suggesting a Helling price considerably above the one it actually bears.
