The Referendum
Title Is Opposed
in New Appeal
Salem. The second appeal .from
the ballot title of the referendum
against the state police bill as pre
pared by Attorney General Van Win
kle was filed with the supreme court
Monday by Custer Ross, Salem at
torney, for J. J. McDonald. The suit
is an unfriendly one, and sets forth
virtually the same arguments as the
first appeal, a friendly one filed by
Chris Kowitz, Salem attorney. ,
Hearings on the two appeals have
been set with prospects for an opinion
to be handed down by Saturday. Ross,
however, has requested Chief Justice
H. J. Bean to set the hearing for
Wednesday, delaying the hearing one
day. The chief justice had not an
nounced any change in the date as
yet. '
Ross based his appeal on the
grounds that the ballot title was in
sufficient, unfair, confusing and mis
leading, and fails to give a true and
impartial statement of the purposes
of the measure. He sets forth a new
ballot title in his complaint.
Petitions for the referendum are
already being circulated, the first
ones appearing on ' the streets of
Portland late Saturday. In the event
the supreme court overrules the bal
lot title, the signatures on the peti
tions now in circulation will be void.
Sponsors of the referendum, as filed
by Ed Averill, have until midnight,
June 5 in which to complete them
with 10,680 names.

feet deeper and then drilling to a
suitable depth to secure a sufficient
quantity of water. It was thought

The Board of Education
Hits at Campus Recruit
ing of High School Pupils
Portland. The state board of high
er education in session Wednesday
struck a mighty blow at recruiting of
high school students by the state col
lege and university when it voted to
disapprove the activities of commit
tees of the two schools which seek to
bring desirable students to the
schools.
At the same time the board struck
hard at the Greater. Oregon commit
tee of the university and the Greater
Oregon committee of the college. "It
was agreed that the presidents of the
two institutions shall call upon the
associated student bodies of the re
spective schools to eliminate these
committees from further activities.
It was brought out that the com
mittees were instrumental in seek
ing the registration of students who
would become good assets to the stu
dent bodies. This practice was frown
ed upon by the board and criticism of .
the idea was heaped upon the com
mittees and all concerned.
Discussion over the recruiting rum
pus came in the midst of a hearing
on a joint statement presented to the
board by the presidents of the two
schools, Dr. W. J, Kerr of Oregon
State college and Dr. Arnold Ben
nett Hall of the university.
The board also approved a recom
mendation of the recent survey re
port that henceforth there will be no
conferences, meets or such other
functions at the university and col
lege to which high school students
will be attracted with a view to get
ting them to enter the schools.
An exception was allowed to this
ruling in that at some time when
either of the presidents feel that it
would be opportune to have such a
conference or meet that he would
present the matter to the board which
would, if it saw fit, issue a permit
for the event.
E. C. Sammons and B. F. Irvine
made themselves very clear on the
subject of recruiting students. They
both expressed the opinion that the
schools were there for the students to
attend and, if they did not see fit to
attend them, there was no reason to
send representatives about the state
trying to enroll them.
Publicity, advertising and every
form of high school contact came in
for its share of condemnation from
Irvine when he said:
"Don't let the higher education in
stitutions be operated like mail or
der houses. Education should be a
legitimate thing that lives, untainted
by publicity, advertising and high
school contacts. Education stands by
itself and asks those who want it to
come and get it."
E. A. Dudley Reported Better '
E. A. Dudley, who has been criti
cally ill in a Portland hospital, is re
ported to be some better. His form
er condition has been complicated
with an attack of pneumonia, and
Monday he was very low.

Growers Are Advised to
Feed Potatoes to Stock
Potato-growers in the Northwest
will do well to feed their second

tato crop in the neighborhood of 500,-
000,000 bushels, about 1,500,000 bush
els in excess of normal national con
sumption," said Smith. "The market
on grade A potatoes will be helped if
growers will take this into consider
ation and use their second grade po
tatoes for feeding of stock."

Salem. The resignation of Carle
Abrams, state purchasing agent and
secretary of the board of control, and
all assistants and employes of the de
partment, was requested by the gtate
board of control here, as of June 1."
The resolution which calls for com
plete reorganization of the state pur
chasing department, was introduced
by Rufus C. Holman, state treasur
er. ..... .',
Hal E. Hoss, secretary of state, vot
ed against the resolution.
Provision is made for . a two-
weeks' vacation for the employes of
the department.
General reorganization of the
state purchasing department probably
will be undertaken by the state board
of control not later than next week,
according to announcement made by
Governor Meier at a meeting of the
board in the executive department.
The announcement was made dur
ing a discussion of the employment
of Ben Wing of Portland in connec
tion with the collection of support
money from relatives and estates of
persons in the Oregon state hospitals
and the state home for the feeble
minded, A law authorizing the state
to collect this money was enacted by
the 1931 legislature.
A resolution authorizing Mr. Wing's
employment full time at a salary of
$225 a month was presented to the
board by Rufus C. Holman, state
treasurer. Secretary of State Hoss ob
jected to Mr. Wing's employment on
the ground that the money could be
collected by the present secretary of
the board of control, with the addition
of a stenographer to the office force.
"The work of collecting this money
will not require a full-time man,"
Secretary Hoss declared. "If we are
going to employ an additional man
he should relieve the secretary of the
board of detail work."
A discussion then followed as to
whether the present employes of the
state purchasing department were
busy.
Carl Abrams, secretary of the
board of control and state purchasing
agent, indicated that his office had
all the work it could dispose of with
its present force.
Treasurer Holman then remarked
that he was ready to join with other
members of the board of control in
reorganizing the state purchasing de
partment at any time. "From my ob
servations," continued Mr. Holman,
"I have never seen that man Poor
man with a sweat." He referred to
W. F. Poorman, veteran employe in
the state purchasing department.
Governor Meier interposed that he
was working out a plan of reorgan
ization for the state purchasing de
partment and would submit the same
to the board of control next week.
Governor Meier and State Treasur
er Holman voted to employ Mr.
Wing, while Secretary of State Hoss
dissented.
Reports were current here that Mr.
Abrams would be replaced as state
purchasing agent by some person
more satisfactory to Governor Meier.
Neither Governor Meier nor other
members of the board of control
would comment on this report. Mr.
Abrams first was appointed state
purchasing agent during the admin
istration of ex-governor Pierce.
