Guts Appropriations University, Amories Norm als and the Fair Funds , Feel Blade. The legislature passed the appro priations buck up to the Governor, and the governor's action is disclos ed as follows by a Salem special: Trusting, apparently, to the gen erosity of the state emergency board and the success of Is plans to con serve financial resources through strict supervision through the newly created office of budget commission to make up the deficiences between his vetoes and the total state deficit of $1,800,000 left, behind it by the legislature, Governor Patterson last night lopped a cool $1,330,810 off the appropriation measures for which the lawmakers provided no revenues. Heading the list of measures to get the ax were the $375,000 appro priation for a new library at the University of Oregon, $175,000 for new buildings at the Monmouth Nor mal school, $150,000 for build'iig.i at the Ashland normal school, and the $120,000 provided for armories at La Grande, Astoria, Cottage Grove and Forest Grove. The blanket item of $100,000 fot premiums for county fairs, whicn was the subject of a heated contro versy between members of the ways and means committees of the legis lature and the final approval of which started that committee on an orgy of recommended appropriations, also drew the executive fire, as did items of $31,000 for improvements and maintenance of the Oregon state fair and $10,000 for improvements for the Pacific international exposi tion at Portland. Items totaling $41,590 for operation and maintenance of the Doernbecher memorial hospital in Portland were also vetoed, leaving that institution $136,910 for extension of its physical plant. The $50,000 provided by the legis lature to carry out the recommenda tions of Governor Pierce in his fare well message to remodel - the cell blocks at the state penitentiary was pruned off, as was $30,000 for the land settlement commission, $12,000 for the Oregon humane society, $10, 500 for the social hygiene bureau and $10,000 for poultry feeding ex periments. ' Among the item vetoes exercised by the governor were those slashing $85,035 for improvements at the state hospital for the insane, $15,000 for topographic surveys by the state en gineer, $10,485 from the University of Oregon medical school fund, $5,000 from the eastern Oregon tuberculosis hospital appropriation. $35,000 for construction of an auditorium at the state home for feeble minded and $64,000 for the erection of dormitory cottages at the new industrial school for boys near Woodburn. The two items of $175,000 for buildings and $40,000 for operating expenses at the newly established normal school at La Grande were left untouched and the $225,250 appropri ated for the establishment and op eration during the biennium of the eastern Oregon tuberculosis hospital authorized by the people at the last general election got by unscathed. The $50,000 voted by the legislat ure for the relief of the victims of the Bully creek flood lay on the ex ecution block up to the very last enough to destroy quirrelsto any ex-!mjnute allowed the governor for ve tent worth speaking of.
