lic a formal statement this morn
In?,'. Jti ills statement, former Gov

cxprewied the belief that "they
ought to have" about six pet cent
of all the money handled, which
would have amounted to over $200,
000 to bo divided between the nt
torney.s and the lion Ida tor. The
former governor said that he ap
posed such a sum and had told
them 'you can't pay me a damn
cent." when ho charged they had
teported to him that they undcr
x stood lie desired a part of the fcen.
The statement follows:
"Tor several months I had been
tmleavorlng to have the liquidation
of the bank expedited in order Unit
tho depositors mh;ht get their
money and that the matter might
be closed during my ndmini.it ra
tion and not hit over for my suc
cessor. "Some time during the early
part of October, lit:!-!, I culled on
Mr. Kelly and we had talked but a
few minutes when ho brought up
tho matter of fees. Mr. Kelly said
ho th.oii'.Iit they ought to have six
per cent of nil the money handled.
Including several hundreds of
thoiu 'iii.lfl of 'dollars paid banks
and bankers to release collateral
security for money loaned the bank
This would be about $210,000 to be
divided between the liquidator and
bis lawyer. To this I Immediately
protested and said 'My God! Kelly,
with that a man could live fur
years ami wouldn't have to hunt a
joh. He proceeded to tell me of
the amount of work ho had done
and tliat another attorney had re
ceived nearly $jao,000 fees In oth

SAVING IS
(By HAHIiV N. CHAIN)
How futile is the hope that any
appreciable economies in the
maintenance of the University of
Oregon and tho Oregon Agricul
tural College may be affected un
der the present system of oper
ating these institutions is graphic
ally illustrated in the recent so
called economy gesturo of the
board of regents of the university.
Acting behind closed doors on
the alleged necessity of trimming
$50,000 from the university's
budget for the coming year, the
regents proceeded to trim their
financial sails by abolishing the
job of field worker in the exten
sion department, lopping off
$3,000 a year; abolishing the de
partment of drama and speech
arts and combining its work with
the department of English, cutting
off instructors drawing $6,000 a
year; reduction of the teaching

PRICE QUITS
GAME BOARD
RAPSPIERCE
Commissioner Says Gov
ernor Sent Cleaver As
Dry Agent To "Get
Goods" on Burghduff.
Because lie objects to "extrane
ous and political mat tore being In
jected into the ai fairs of the etate
game commission," Kichard W.
Price of Portland, member of the
commission for some years, has
sent his resignation to Governor
Pierce. The governor probably
has not yet received the letter,
since it did not arrive at his of
fice yesterday una the governor is
out of town today.
The main basis of Price's action,
it appeai'd, la his assertion that
Captain A. 10. Burghdufl', state
same warden, Js engaged iu n com
mercial hatchery business, which
Price thinks is improper for a
member of the state game com
mission. Another reason is em
bodied in Price's intimation that
George L. Cleaver, former etaU1
prohibition commissioner, has ap
proached members of ihe commls
rtion with lhe proposal that they
help him "get the goods" on
Burghduff ns a violator of the pro
hibition law. While Prieo doesn't
like Burghduff, It seems that he
does not approve this method of
getting him out of the employ of
the game commission.
Pierre Sent Cleaver.
Last Saturday, it appears, con
cluded a wee'-: in which Price gave
the other members of the commte
sion opportunity to take cogniz
ance of his objections to Burgh
duff, and fdnce they did nothing
he concluded to quit.
As the story goes, as far as the
liquor end of the affair is con
cerned. Cleaver recently approach
ed Price with a letter of intro
duction Binned by Oovernrr Pierce,
informing Price that Cleaver war
an agent of the governor nnd that
Price could talk with him confi
dentially. Price made It plai'i
t hat he wanted IJurghdiiff re
