PROPOSED AUTO
TRUCK LAWS AD D
TO CONFUSION
Supreme , Court Decisions
Create Decided Tangle
in State. ' .: i
RIGHTS VIOLATED
Conference , Argues That
Both Measures Should
r Be Rejected by : !
by Voters.
With the predicted entanglement
in the legal status of existing and
proposed Oregon truck and bus leg
islation, having come to a head. It
Is apparent that the average voter
wilt approach the November polls
with considerable question In his
mind as to how to vote on the truck
and bus bills, states the Oregon
Automotive Conference In a recent
discussion of its Investigation. .
"It is .manifest now that neither
the bill sponsored principally by
tlio State Highway Commission,
nor that Initiated by the bus and
truck men getB at the results that
either anticipated when their mea
sures wore framed," states Ralph
J. Staehll, secretary of the confer
ence. . i' - -
The upsetting factors are the two
decisions -by high courts which af
fect exlBtlng legislation and would
uffoct either of the two bills dn
the ballot iu the event that they
wero mude laws.
Tlio J United States Supreme
Court rendered one far-reaching de
cision on a case brought in from
California. The Oregon Supreme
Court brought In a similar case
known ns tlio "Purple Trunk Case".
Itoth involved similar points and
questioned the right of states to
attempt to control or regulate priv
ate curriers or trucks In the same
category as common carrier tucks..
It was found in both cases that
tho stute's attempt to control priv
ato trucks engaged In work under
contract was a violation of the con
stitutional contract rights. i
The existing motor truck laws in
the state of Oregon and both the
referred bill known u'3;H. B, ,413,
now , ou tho November ballot as
325, and the stage meus Initiated
bill all included provisions which
attempted to bring under tho Pub
lic Service Commission trucks ' op
erating over the highway under
private contract. '
The specific case of- the Purple
Truck company - involved gravel
trucks. These trucks are owned by
the Purple Truck company, a haul
ing contracting comiiany. This com
pany lias a fleet, of trucks which
are rented or leased with u driver
to a lead, coutructor or a county,
or - anyone who has need of such
service under a specific - contract.
As tlio oxlsting Oregon law Is word
ed anil as the two proposell laws
ure worded, the operator under a
contract Is brought under the Pub
lic Service Commission.
1 It has long been a debated ques
tion whether a man hauling under
such u contract, owning the equip
ment and doing it at bo much a
yard, or in tlio case of lumber at so
much per thousand feet, should bo
put to additional expense or under
hardships of regulation that would
nut apply in the event that the rock
quarry or the lumber mill owned
tho trucks but did the same work,
hauled Uie same loads and used
them on the sumo roads that the
contract hauler uses. It has been
hud to Bee how the state -could ap
ply regulation, which attempted to
draw a line between a man operat
ing exclusively in the employ of
one concern nnd thnt concern It
self, when both did the snme wokr
under idcntlcul 'conditions excopt
as to ownership- ot the equipment.
Tho Supremo Courts decided that
there . was no difference, and ac
cordingly tho confusion.
Under existing law or under
cither of the proposed truck and
bus Inws, the decision lets out all
but the very smallest fraction of
all trucks on the highway. j
Tho actual facts are the follow
ing: 1
Thore nro approximately 17,000
trucks in the state of Oregon. Be
fore the decision the' state claim
ed to bring upder the Public Serv
ice Commission about 650 busses
and 2800 trucks. Wero it possible
to regulate under the two bills on
the November ballot those provided
for In the bills about the same uutn
her would be effected.
However,; tho decisions of the
two courts automatically lift out ot
tho control of tho Public Service
Commission 300 motor stages and
2500 trucks. This leaves the ex
isting law controlling the opera
tions of merely 350 stages and 325
trucks. The same rulings would
cover tho proposed new laws.
This, according to the Confer
ence, can satisfy neither the State
officials who sought regulation ot
the use of tho highway nnd revemio
resulting thereform, nor the small
part of tho trucks and busses which
nro caught in tho added tax and
regulation bifrden while 16,000
trucks carrying larger loads, with
poorer equipment and over the
same roads, pay nothing more than
they have always paid. -
Accordingly, tho Conference ar
gues thBt both truck and bus meas
ures op the November ballot should
! be rejected and the matter left to
I the legislature to bring about a
j low thirt can be applied fairly and
In accord ' with constitutional
lights ns the courts have found
I them.

Money Offer Made
Questioned for more than three
hours yesterday by Senator Reed,
Hugh F. Emmons, former exalted
cyclops, testified the klan In his
stute was supporting the candi
dates of Senators Watson and
Robinson, Republican.
He declared klan officials had
told him Eossert had been removed

cause he would not "go down the
line" on the Watson candidacy.
Tlio former klansmen charged
W. Lee Smith, the present grand

In beginning his recital Emmons
quoted Dr. Hiram W. Evans, im
perial wizard of the klan, as saying
the klan owed a debt to Senator
Watson because of his assistance
In the seating of Senator Mayfleld,
Democrat of Texas.
This senator, Emmons said, was
described by Evan,t as "one of the
best klansmen in the United
Stales."
Senator Watson, speaking from
a hospital bed in Indianapolis, cal
led Emmons testimony linking his
name with the seating of Senator
Mayfleld "so preposterous in the
main that it really requires slight
refutation." Senator Mayfield also
issued a statement in Galveston
characterizing the same testimony
as "absolute fabrication."

Z State Press Comment X
Scottsburg And Waldo.
Old towns and old landmarks
are pushed forward or backward by
the modern highways In much tho
same manner as they were affect
ed by the coming of the railroads.
Some of them bloom and some
decny. Scottsburg, at the head of
navigation on the Umpqua, and
Waldo, In Josephine county, a few
miles from the California line, are
among the oldest settlements in
Oregon, in recent years both far
removed from the beaten trails of
travel.
Now the new highway out of
Coos into Lane county will cross
the Umpqua at Scottsburg, and the
ancient ferry will be replaced with
a modern bridge, and Scottsburg
is coming back strong. But while
the highway Is bringing Scottsburg
into prominence again, the new
Redwood highway between Grants
Puss and Crescent City is passing
three miles away from the old town
of Waldo, and there will be no
boom there. ,
Oregon is a new country, but the
history ot these two old towns
begins far back in the fifties.
Scottsburg In the beginning was a
seaport, and In Its day one of the
busiest places in Oregon. Small
schooners and brigs brought in
miners, settlers and supplies and
It was an important trading point
for a large territory In the Willam
ette valley and Southern Oregon.
Waldo was farther from the sea.
but it was an Important stage sta
tion on the line between Crescent
City and Jacksonville, the mining
metropolis of Southern Oregon.
The harbor at the California port
was slightly better than that at
Scottsburg, and a big stream ot
gold hunters poured Into Southern
Oregon by this route. Quite a few
ot them engaged In prospecting and
mining "(round Waldo, and the old
town has held Its place on the map
for about 76 years.
Each of these old towns as well
as many others that the highways
are discovering or discarding, were
in the old days places of Import
ance and rich fields for romance
and adventure which now seem to
vanish with the coming ot the
highway and the attendant gaso
line station, hot og stand, etc.

OREGON LEADS NATION
IN JUDGING DAIRYING
Oregon may now claim the cham
pion studeut dairy cattle judge and
butter judge in the United States,
as a result of the high record made
by the agricultural college teams,
at the national dairy show at De
troit. .
Wilfred B. Cooper of ' Klamath
Falls won the' highest individual
honors as a student dairy cattle
judge for all breeds. He is also a
member of the team that won third
place in milk judging. ; ' ;
Dale Winn of 'Junction City, a
member of both teams, won high
est honors in butter judging. Auge
GribBkov, also of Junction City,
placed third In butter judging, in
which the college team scored
first. S i ; -
The cattle judging team coached
by Dr. I. R. Jones placed third in
average for all breeds in competi
tion with 27 teams, and won first
In Guernseys. The products judg
ing team, coached by V. D. Chan-
pell .associate professor of dairy
husbandry, placed sixth in general
competition which Included milk,
butter, cheese, and Ice cream judg
ing. ' -
The O. A. C. dairy club raised the
money partly to finance the trip.
Sale of ice cream bars on the cam
pus and at the state fair is the
chief source ot fundB.
The students who made the trip
are Wilfred Cooper, Klamath Falls;
Dale'Winn and Aage Gribskov,
Junction City and Frank Loughary,
Monmouth. Lewis Brandt, Silver-,
ton and Eston Ahlstrom, Lakevlew,
were alternates. Professor Chap
pell was in charge of the party.
Grasshoppers are best controlled
In Oregon by poison bait but fall
or early spring plowing can be

No undue expense was lavished
on the original experiment station
flock. The results can be traced,
says Mr. Lindgren, to four points
use of good pure bred Hampshire
bucks, selection , of only the best
ewe lambs for breeding purposes,
elimination of unprofitable ewes,
and good care at lambing time.
: A) policy of buying many ewes, "re
gardless of quality, when the sheep
business was good and selling out
everything when the market struck
bottom- was not followed in hand
ling the station flock. Profits do

results of many, years' work along
