KERR's SALARY EXEMPT FROM WAR TAXES

President Kerr of the 0. A. c. has recently had his
salary raised from $1,000 to $8400 year-in order to
prevent him from accepting offer of $4,000 year
from Kansas which had never been made. AS state
official his salary will not be subject to the war
income tax like that of the who their salary by

fortune thrust upon them through the agency Of active
press bureau working in conjunction with a newspaper
like the Oregonian. However, Kerr must have belonged
both classes to be presented with such large hunk
of luck all at once.

O. A. C. BOARD "EXPLAINS"

According to a dispatch in the Oregonian (Kerrs
personal organ) from Corvallis the board OF regents OF
the o. A. c. had issued statement taking upon them
selves the full responsibility for increasing Kerrs salary
from 900 400 year The dispatch says the state
ment was prepared by special committee consisting OF
j. K Weatherford president Of the board; A. Churchill
state superintendent Of public Instruction. E. Spence,
master Of the State Grange and unanimously adopt
ed by the board at its regular mid Winter meeting held
at the college Wednesday,
The entire statement is devoted to prasng Kerr and
does not pretend explain why the report published
through the Oregonan and other papers that Kerr had
been offered $4,000 year to go to Kansas in similar
capacity All the statement has to say In regard to this
report is the following

This great public demand for Kers retention they speak
of was but the work of the Kerr machine aided and
abeted by the Oegonians plea to keep Kerr out Of the
grasp of the Kansas kidnapers.
