Some time early In June, Secre tary of State Kozer expects to call a meeting of the state emergency board for the emerKency appropria tion of money for varioua purposes and necessitated by failure of the legislature to add appropriating clauses to several acts requiring the expenditure of money. Chief of these will be the act re quiring all owner of motor ve hicles to file with the state depart ment certificates of ownership rela live to their vehicles, accounting. among other thing for all Hens that may be held against the car. Thta act, becoming effective July 1, will necessitate practically a new department In the secretary of state's office, with a clerical force to mail out to the nearly 200,000 motor vehicle owners the blanks that they must fill out, and to register and file tho certificate when they are returned to the de part ment. It is estimated con servatlvcly that tho act will re quire an expenditure of 150,000 a year, and perhaps far in excess of (bat tho firt year. No appropria tion wa made nor no provision as to what fund shall be drawn up on for the expense of administra tion.

PHYSICAL COURSES LAP B 88 88 88 8B 38 S8 Public Pays for Frills 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 By Harry N. Crain Probably the most -glaring and .indefensible instance of wasteful duplication in the work of the Oregon Agricultural college and the University of Oregon is pre sented in the work of the depart ments of physical education of the two institutions. Also, It is unlikely that any other of the various departments of the schools have been loaded down with so many frills. Generally spenking, the pub lic's understanding of the depart ments of physical education is that they are maintained to cater to the physical needs and we'fnre of the students, but careful study of the situation reveals that this Is more or I?"6 01 an incidental purpose and only a small propor tion of the multitude of courses offered are designed to this end. Work to Same End Professional training for teach ers of physical education Is the principal aim and object of both COURT 10 DECIDE IF TEN FARMERS By an appeal taken to circuit court yesterday afternoon from de cision of tho state engineer's of fice, the question will be threshed out as to whether about 10 farm- ers of tho W-8t St ay ton d bit riot 1 will bo compelled to securo their1 water from tho Santlam Keelama tion company and Western Oregon I development company, or wheth er thee farmers have an Inherent right tn appropriate the water for irrigation of their own land nnd can carry on pueh Irrigation op erations ret-ardlet of tho filings made hy the companies for irriga tion purposes. Tho state engineer ruled that the formers had such nhercnt light. A number "of years ago a man named Kcnhatu secured water rluhts to Irrigate all of the farmers lands In that sect inn.

While the order Involved In the appeal also granted an extension of time to (he companies until Oc tober 1, lJL!fi, to finish their work it also carried the clause giving the farmers the light to Irrigate their own Innds and it Is from this clriuwe that the appeal Is being tak en.

There are probably few tax payers in the state who have any conception of the stress placed upon physical training subjects, at their expense, by the college and the university. They have protested feebly nt times against the emphasis laid upon intercol legiate athletics, which protests have been silenced by the re join er that such activities are not paid for out of public funds. There is far more ground for com plaint In the manner in which the regular physical education courses have been expanded. The roster ot physical educa tion Instructors at the university contains the names of 11 teach ers and department heads, and the college catalog boasts of an instructional force of 1 1.
