By vote of five to one, the state
emergency board today authorized the
Oregon Agricultural College to incur a
deficiency Of $37, ,435 to meet the addi-
tional expense thrust upon the college
by the number Of students taking the
army training courses
NAs it requires five votes to author
ize deficiency appropriation, the de-

deadlock which occurred when the
board met last Monday with only five

voted against the appropriation.
Senator Moser voted against the ap-
preparation today, but the meeting was
without the heated discussion which
characterized last Mondays session
when Moser charged that Governor
Withyeombe was using the state police.

Each attack which is preceded BY
heavy artillery preparation. is really
an isolated battle, but as soon as the

move up to maintain liasion, overcom

mentalities of their own choosing. This
is no time either for divided counsel or
for divided leadership Unity o. cum.
mand is necessary now in civil actions

control Of the house and senate should
be taken away from the party now in

The return Of republic majority to
either house of congress would, more
over, certainly be interpreted on the
other side of the water as repudiation
of my leadership. Spokesmen of the
republican party are urging you 70 eject
a republican congress in order to back
up and support the president, but even
if they should in this way impose upon
some crcdulous voters on this size Of
the water, thcv should impose on-no one
on the other side. 1t is well under
stood there, as well as here, that the
republican leaders desire not SO much
to support the president as to control
him. The peoples Of the allied coun
triesewitl1 whom we are associated
against Germany are quite familiar
with the significance of elections,
They would find it very difficult to be-
lieve that the voters Of the United
