STATE POLICE FORCE
UNIT IS AUTHORIZED V
TO GUARD INDUSTRY
SALEM, ore.. March 21. By a vote
of six to -one. the - state emergency t
board authorized the adjutant genera!
to Incur a deficiency In the appropria
tion for the national guard of $250,
000 for the purpose of establishing and
maintaining a state police force until
the next legislature meet.
This sum -waa recommended by Ad
jutant General Williams at the after
noon session of the board ednesday.
All members of the emergency board
were present, Including Governor
Withycombe, Secretary of 8tate Olcott,
State Treasurer Kay, Senator Gus C.
Moser, president of the senate, R. N.
Stanfield, speaker of the house; Sena
tor W. D.-Woodr-and Representative
K. K. Itubli. chairman respectively of
the senate and house ways and means
committees. .
Senator Wood Opposes Plan.
Senator Wood was the only member
of the board to vote against the motion
authorizing the efficiency. Before the
final motion was $ut. he moved to "
amend by reducing the amount to 7
$150,000. This was defeated by a vote
of five to two. Senator Wood and
State Treasurer' Kay voted for the
amendment.
The motion presented by Senator
Moore as adopted by the board ap
proves the plan submitted to the board
by the State Council of Defense, except
that the cavalry troop Is to be elim
inated and instead of horses, motor
cycles are to be used for the mounted
police. Provision is made for four
companies of 50 men each, besides of
ficers.
Details of the plan are to be worked
out by the general staff Of the national
guard, but the idea Is to have the
troops under command of one officer
and they will be available for con
tinuous state, police and guard duty
whenever needed.
