CLACKAMAS Clackamas county has
LEADING AGAIN a habit of taking
the initiative in things, and once
again Clackamas is to the fore on a
statewide question. Reference is made
to the suit filed by' the city
of Gladstone against the county to
recover the unexpended portion of a
road tax collected in the neighboring
municipality for the past two years.
While the amount involved in the
suit is not so very great, the principle
at issue is one that has an intimate
bearing on every city throughout the
state of Oregon, and the result of the
friendly test action now instituted
will be watched with interest by every
municipality within the borders of the
commonwealth.
Gladstone wants to spend its own
money on its own highways. The
funds were collected from citizens re
siding within the corporate limits of
the city, and under its charter Glad
stone feels that it has a claim to the
total amount gathered. From Glad
stone's point of view the issue seems
simple enough, especially as under the
amendment adopted by the legislature
in 1906, municipalities are empower
ed to direct the expenditure of funds
collected from local property There
is, however, another side to the ques
tion, and the courts will be called up
on to render a decision that will clear
up the matter.
In opposition to Gladstone's claim
it may be statetd the money at issue
was collected as a county road tax.
Such money was designed for road
way improvement throughout the en
tire county to be distributed among
the different road" districts as most
needed. While it is undoubtedly true
that Gladstone needs this money for
its own roads, it is also true that
whatever road money is spent in the
Gladstone district, but outside of
Gladstones corporate limits, is also
a benefit to Gladstone, by making its

means of communication with other
communities more fitted for travel.
If part of Gladstone's money is thus
used in contiguous territory, the bur
den of improvement on outlying dis
tricts is shared by the city; if all the
money assessed in the city is used
within the city, then the burden on
the rural communities for the upkeep
of roads leading to the city must be
all the greater.
The courts will decide which way
the burden is to be borne. The deci
sion, once made, will establish a pre
cedent for other communities, and
will thus become an important part of
the Oregon code.

(Continued from page I)
one of the liveliest Booster Days of
the city's history is expected. Aside
from the usual parade, and the exhib
ition of pedigreed stock in the display
barns, there will be many novel fea
tures for the entertainment of visit
ors. The Commercial club" is plan
ning to present, absolutely free of
charge on the streets, a number of en
tertainment features of the highest
grade. Arrangements have been made
'with one of the carnival show com
panies o bring their best acts to the
city, and these wil be staged for the
benefit of the visiting public.
Among the great free features-- will
be a "Ferris wheel," a high diving act,
a number of trained animal displays,
and in all probability a gymnastic ex
hibition given by boys and young men
from one of Portland's largest athletic
bodies.
The Commercial club "has also of
fered a prize of $10 for the farmer or
rancher who brings in from the coun
try the largest load of people in one
wagon. The occupants of this wagon
must make the entire journey to the
city in their vehicle, and must be bona
fide residents of the surburban or
rural districts. It is hoped that part
ies coming in by such conveyance, and
planning to compete for this prize
will wear "genuine country clothes,"
and will decorate their wagon with
grains, grasses, apple or other fruit
blossoms, or some distinctive scheme
that will make their vehicle a feature
in the parade. All such wagons com
ing in will be asked to enter the par
ade, and the prize award will be made
from the judge's stand.

INTERSTATE DAIRY
Ranchers near Oregon City who
have been furnishing milk to some of
the larger dairies may be surprised
one of these days by the appearance
at their barns of Washington milk in
spectors. An agreement has just been
reached beetween Dairy Commission
er Mickle, of Oregon, and Dairy Com
missioner Davis, of Washington,
whereby inspectors of one state may
go into the other state and look over
sources of milk supply.
The agreement is the result of com
plaint by Oregon inspectors of milk
furnished to Portland from portions
of Clarke county, Washington. The
Oregon inspectors declared that con
ditions on some of the Clarke county
farms were not up to Oregon stand
ards. However, as some of the big
Portland dairies that obtain milk from
farmers in the lower Willamette and
Clackamas valleys ship cream into
Washington, it is possible that Wash
ington inspectors will want to come to
Oregon and see how local barns are
kept up.

BUTTER CHEAPER;
NEW TUBERS LOW
There is a weaker tone all through
the butter trade of the country. Port
land prices are the highest along the
Pacific coast but the trade kas weak.
An immediate decline of at least 2c
a pound is likely within the next 24
hours as a result of the lower figures
quoted elsewhere.
San Francisco' is quoting 26c' a
pound for extras but the selling price
is from 1 to 2c a pound for extras,
and the market is weaker there, too.
Both of those markets have a direct
bearing upon the price of Oregon but
ter, and there is not the slightest
doubt that values will be revised im
mediately, and downward.
The output of butter both here and
at country points is showing a very
liberal increase and a surplus slow
ing In some quarters. Supply is bet
ter than ' demand and only lower
prices will again bring them together.
