PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921
MISINFORMED
Governor Hart has vetoed the ap
propriation of $850,000 for the com
pletion and equipment of the dairy
building at the State College. While
the veto of this appropriation will
seriously impair and retard the de
velopment and work of the institu
tion, it would not be open to serious
criticism had it been based on the
ground of necessary economy and in
cluded as on item among a number
stricken from the general appropria
tion bill to afford relief to the heav
ily burdened taxpayers. It requires
courage of _ high order for a gov
ernor to prune off appropriations
made hy the legislature and,
while many would have questioned
the wisdom of» vetoing this particu
lar item, few would have questioned
the good intentions of the governor.
Economy begins at home, and the
people have begun to realize that a
retrenchment policy to amount tO j
anything must hit all sections and
institutions of the state; that the
appropriations in which they are in
terested must he cut, as well as the
appropriations which are close to
the hearts of residents of other parts
of the commonwealth. So much for
the veto itself.
The conclusions expressed in the
veto message are based upon such
palpably incorrect premises that, if
allowed to stand unchallenged, they
will place the State College in a false
position in the estimation of the
public. The message as given to the
press was as follows:
"On page 14, under the heading,
"For the State College of Washing
ton.' and under the subheading,
'From the General Fund,' the item
second from the, last on the page,
'for completion and equipment of
dairy building. $250,000,' is vetoed.
By the provisions of chapter 82,
session laws of 1919, there was ap
propriated from the general fund for
the State College dairy building and
equipment at State College, $175,
--000. This item of $250,000 is to
complete a building which was start
ed under an appropriation of $175,
--000 for the building and equipment.
"I can scarcely imagine a student
at the State College majoring in
dairy husbandry and taken from any
of the farms or dairies of this state
fully appreciating his surroundings
in a $4 2;:,000 dairy barn.
"It appears to me that if the legis
lature two years ago had omitted
the 'one' and made the appropria
tion read 'for dairy barns, $175,
--000," and the board of regents, enter
ing into the spirit of the work at
the college, had constructed 10 or
12 dairy barns ranging in cost from
S2OOO to $10,000 each, building the
practical model barn, such as a
dairyman, according to his financial
ability might be expected to erect for
his needs on his farm, they might
have proved of some practical bene
fit in the way of education to the
boys who are taking this course at
college. I can not imagine any
dairyman in this state appreciating
a $425,000 dairy barn. It might
make a very ornamental structure
among the group of buildings on the
college farm, but it indicates such
a profligate waste of funds as to
cease to be humorous or even ridicu
lous. Surely the State College can
find better use for money than to
fpcnd It in such manner, and if It
can't be spent more advantageously
at the college it would better remain
with th» taxpayers."
The assertion that "By the pro
visions of Chapter 82. Session Laws
of 1919, there was appropriated
from the general fund for the State
College dairy building and equip
ment at the State College $175,000"
is but a half truth, for Chapter 199
of the Session Laws of 1919, amend
ed this appropriation to read for
"Buildings and equipment at State
College $175,000." By virtu- of the
authority conferred by this amend
ment the regents devoted approxi
mately $75,000 of the appropriation
to the completion of other college
buildings, and let a contract for the
construction of the foundation and
ilfst story of the dairy building for
.95,500. Here is an error of nearly
$80,000 in the first, premise on
which the governor based his con
clusions. But this is not as serious
as the error in the second premise.
The appropriation was for a
DAIRY BUILDING, not for a DAIRY
BARN, as the governor seems to
have assumed. The idea was to
erect a building adequate to house
a model plant for the manufacture
of dairy products and to provide
class and laboratory rooms for the
students in dairying. There was no
thought of providing for a model
barn in which to keep cows. It is
estimated that the refrigerating
plant, dairy machinery and equip
ment will take approximately $100,
--000 of the appropriation, which
would make the cost of the building
$245,0000 instead of $425,000, as
stated by the governor.
The insinuation that the regents
have countenanced a profligate
Waste of funds in order to add an
ornamental structure to the group
of college buildings has no founda
tion in fact. The dairy building had
been planned for practical use, af
ter careful consideration and con
si,Ha: with leading dairymen of
the state.
Friends of Governor Hart will
deeply regret that he has been mis
led into reaching such erroneous
conclusions because of basing ,hiss
premises upon incorrect information.

A FIXE TRIBUTE
The following editorial tribute to
li. W. Thatcher will be appreciated
by his former friends and associates
in Pullman and vicinity. it ap
peared in the Minnesota Farm Re
view, published at University Farm,
St. Paul, -Minn., and indicates the
recognition which he has won since
leaving Pullman?
"It was with a keen sense of loss
that the news of Dean Thatcher's ac
ceptance of the directorship of the
New York experiment station at Ge
neva, N. V., was received last Satur
day by the department of agricul
ture of the University of .Minnesota.
"This sense of loss grew out of
two things: the interest of the mem
bers of the faculty and staff in the
welfare of the university department
of agriculture, which, it was felt,
would suffer because of Dean
Thatcher's going; and the Strom
personal regard felt for the dean by
every person in the department.
Never has the work of the entire de
partment gone more smoothly or
with greater promise of significant
results than under Dean Thatcher's
administration, and this in spite of
the difficulties presented by the war
and the post-war readjustments.
This fact and the dean's keen and
kindly interest in the work every
member of the staff has been doing
has given zest and enthusiasm to the
efforts of all and endeared the dean
to the entire organization.
"Just this feeling, however, will
lead every one to wish the dean the
greatest of success in his new field,
which will be one of splendid oppor
tunity for a man of the dean's tastes
and attainments. The dean has al
ways been deeply interested in re
search work, and his new position
will give him an opportunity not
only to pursue research work him
self but to direct the work of an
organization which has been built
up to a high state of efficiency ex
clusively in research work through
many years. The new place, in oth
er words, will give him a chance to
pursue his own particular lines of
study and Investigation and at the
same time to keep in closest touch
with investigations in other depart
ments of agriculture, in all of which
he is greatly interested. His choice
for the place, therefore, is a happy
one, because —to put it briefly—he
fits the job and the job fits him. His
friends here, then, not only wish
him success but are confident that
he will win for himself all that they
wish for him.
"The women and young people of
the faculty group and of the park
will be no less sorry to see Mrs.
Thatcher and Miss Thatcher go than
are the people of the university de
partment of agriculture to see the
dean leave, and both will carry with
them the best wishes of warm
friends when they take their de
parture."

As Chairman of a Special Committee
of representative men and women of
the country, charged with placing be
fore the American people the desperate
need of two and a half million Arme

tian nation, whose sufferings through
sixteen centuries seem to have brought
them no nearer peace, liberty or se
curity, I beg your personal co-opera- I
tion and influence to forward an ap
peal for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to
enable the Near East Relief to go on
with its work of mercy.
Over one hundred thousand little
children who have been kept alive by
American generosity for the past three
years are absolutely dependent upon
the support which America gives them
through the Near East Relief.
• feel that however many and how
ever worthy the other appeals which
are being made to the great heart of
America these days may be, this cry
from the little children of the land
where Christ gave his life for man
kind cannot remain unanswered.
Will you help to save this martyred
people?

cess In furthering the great relief
movement to which you are now giving
