TO GIVE RELIEF FROM
FINANCIAL CONDITION

= OREGAN AGRICULTURE COLI
BEGE. Corvallis. Jan. 30.-The college
is now looking to the people of Ore
gan to give relief to the present critical
financial condition brought ahout
through the doubling of the student
enrolment, and the increased cost of
maintenance in every department.
The state legislature has made it pos
sibIe for the people to pass on the fu-
tlre of the institution at the general
election, May 81.
1t has been estimated that at least
six-tenths of cne mill in addition to the
present income would be required
this in addition to a contemplated in
come from a tuition and other fees
that might be received from students.
The legislature decided, however, that
no tuition should be charged in addi-
ton to the fees as now charged, and
that there should be no special tuition
fee for nonresident students. The
legislature. there. provided for little
less than seven-tenths of a mill which
would bring to the college on present
valuation of taxable property about
S6S5, goo annually to cover mainten-
ance and the cost of additional build
ing and equipment.
In order that the present emergency
might be met and additional buildings
as soon as possible to re-
lieve the congestion throughout the
institution the bill contains a provi-
sion which will make available the
amount appropriated beginning with
the present year. should this measure
oe approved by the people at the MaN
money viii be available there
fore for construction work during the
summer. and it should be possible to
have some new buildings ready for
occupancy when college opens in sep
tember.

ONE MAN HEADS IDAHO
DEPARTMENT OF. Police
BY DAN 1. REERE

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. S0.-In any
emergency involving law enforcement,
Idaho can quickly establish a definite
policy, state wide in its effect. This is
made possible by the fact that at the
state house all police authority is con-
tered in one man. This feature, &C
cordlng TO Robert o. Jones, state COM
missioner of law enforcement, is one
OF the greatest benefits of the Idaho
state constabulary system.
Jones summed up for the United
Press today the results Of eight months
activity Of the constabulary. Created
primarily to enforce liquor laws, it has
been used chiefly to corral I. w. w.
who have entered Idaho from the
northwest.
Following the Centralia killing, Ida
no officials announced that radicals
were entering the state In great NUM-
bers. The constabulary was then
brought into full play for the first
time.
Develops Continuity
"The state constbulary began its
operations May s, 1919 said Jones.
1T is composed not only of state po-
lice. which is a small but well-trained
and experienced force. but under the
law includes all of the police officers
of Idaho. Involves a centralized po-
lice agency for law enforcement,
makes possible Capitalization of au-
thority and develops among the diff
ferent police agencies n continuity OF
purpose.
heretofore, the different county
sheriffs have been primarily and al
most exclusively concerned in the en-
forcement of laws within the boun-
daries of their home county. They
were not so much concerned with
giving assistance to any other unit.
Under the consta bulary law these
county officials, as we'll as municipal
.,..4ca4s. cooperate with each other as
well as with the state police in all mat
-ers Of la9v enforcement. One of the
benefits of the constabulary
system has been the fact that in an
emergency it enabled the state to
luickly establish a definite policy OF
law enforcement. In the I. w. w,
menace. which devesoped quickly in
northern Idaho, the constabulary, by
giving instructions to police officers,
as well as by augmenting its state
force was able to cope with the situa-
ion.
Stimulates local Activity
''The attitude of the bureau and its
aggressive police of Kidding the state
If this undesirable element, stimulat-
"a local and county units to greater
lctiyity.
"The state established the policy
hat it could not handle the menace ny
merely prodding members of the 1. w.
". to move on into other states us
policy called for the arrest Of /. w
". everywhere. Furthermore, the con
TIA bulary organization offered TO
county prosecutors every possible as
distance in obtaining and developing
