The Oregon State Grange threatens to invoke a referendum on the $100,000 militia and armory appropriation, dimming Pendleton militia plans. The adjutant general contends the militia may not be organized despite strong local enthusiasm. Economy concerns drive the grange action.
The Grange executive committee decided to oppose the $100,000 armory appropriation and the compulsory militia law in Oregon. A referendum will be invoked by the Grange on two acts from the last session, with eight towns targeted for armories: The Dalles Roseburg Eugene Albany Salem Pendleton Baker City and Oregon City. An initiative will later address the normal school and University of Oregon funding.
If sufficient signatures are secured to ensure the referendum on the armory appropriation, the appropriation will be fed up until after the next election, as with the general appropriation two years ago, making it impossible to proceed with organizing the militia company here, though its organization may be authorized by the adjutant general.
