SPECIAL SESSION IS HELD Committee of State Grange Anxious for Action and Probability of Emergency Clause to Legis lative Act Is Asserted. SALEM, Or., Jan. 4. (Special.) On advice of Assistant Attorney-General Van Winkle that the rural credits amendment does not go into effect un til 60 days after its being declared a law by the Governor, the State Land Board to".ay practically reached the conclusion to take no steps toward making rules and regulations for its operation until such time as the Legis lature has had opportunity to follow out the mandate of the amendment that it shall enact appropriate legisla tion on tne subject. It had been generally understood that the board contemplated no action until after the Legislature met, but Governor Withycombe, who was at Cor vallls yesterday, returned to" toalem this morning and told the board that he had been waited upon there by a committee of the State Grange. These men, the Governor said, urged that speedy action be taken in starting loans in operation' under the amend ment. They stated that money is be ing loaned all over the state for long terms at 6 per cent and that the cream of the business will be taken up -unless prompt action is taken by the board as to the amendment. , Special Session Called. As a result the Governor called a meeting of the Land Board this morn ing, when he explained the conversa tion had at Corvallis yesterday and wished to know the sentiment of the board. "This amendment is one that was drafted and presented by the Grange itself," said State Treasurer Kay, alter the executive had explained his reason for calling the meeting. "It provides' in the amendment that the Legislative Assembly shall arrange for the details of administering the provisions of the- amendment, and that in the absence of such legislation the Land Board shall go ahead and make rules and regula tions for euch administration. It also provides that the amendment shall not go Into effect until CO days after its approval and a-floption by the people. The Grange drafted the bill and. should know the provisions of its own law. Under the law I am satisfied we cannot do anything until the Legislature frames the necessary provisions for its admin istration. Assistant Attorney-General Van Winkle, who was called into consulta tion, gave it as his view that the provision of the amendment contain ing the 60-day clause meant that the amendment should not become effec tlve until 60 days alter it was pro claimed a law by the Governor. It was so proclaimed on December 5. Board Wont Act. As a result the Board decided that it could do nothing under the law until after February 5 at the earliest. At that time the Legislature will be in session and probably will have made some advancement in proposing details of administration. The Board in structed G. G. Brown, clerk of the Land Board, in conjunction with th At torney-General. to. advise with a com mittee from the Grange and prepare the draft of a bill for submission to the Legislature. In this bill will be Incorporated the ideas of the Land Board as to the administration of the amendment. This will be submitted merely as a document advisory to the members of the Legislature. The Grange also has expressed some fear that in event the Legislative As sembly drafts a bill containing pro visions to make the rural credits amendment operative that those op posed to the amendment might apply tne referendum to the bill and hold up its workings for a number of months. It is more likely, however, that the bill as it finally passes the Legislature will carry an emergency clause, so that the Land Board will in no way be hampered from making an immediate start on the creation of a rural credits fund. SCHOOL LAW IS . URGED COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS IN SES SION AT SALEM HAVE PLAN. IropoeaI Is to DlHtrfbate i'unds on Teacher Basis, and Place .Premi um on Longer Term. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 4. (Special.) County Superintendents from all over tne state who have been In session here the past few days have unani mously indorsed a proposed law pro viding for a Change in the manner of distributing school funds. The present method of distributing -funds is on a census basis, -which includes all chil dren between the ages of 4 and 20. Un der the proposed law one-half of the funds would be apportioned on the teacher basis, and the other half on the attendance basis. "The present law In no way recog nizes school needs, nor does Its appli cation further desirable school ends," says a statement given out by the Su perintendents. The statement con tinues: Any lew. If it la to be successfully ap plied in Oregon, must combine and use sev eral factors. The proposed law distributes one-half of the funds to the districts on the teacher basis, and places a premium on a longer school term. ' Regularity in attend ance would be encouraged by distributing funds on the attendance basis. By allowing constructive attendance, the small school and the children attending there will be placed on a baala ot equality with tho terser schools. Proba&ly the greatest result would be an indirect one. .When funds are distributed according to needs, the counties would be disposed to raise their revenue by a general county tax. This tax would displace the speril tax that distributes the burden so Inequitably. The Importance of boundary lines would disappear and such lines would cease to determine educational facilities. Oregon spends large sums tor education, but its method for the applying and raising of theee sums are the most antiquated ex isting in any state in the Union. Let's place the state on a par with the most up to date. Medford Postal Receipts Growing. MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 4. (Special.)

Mr. Wortman formerly was district sealer for the northern district of the state. He declares that in a thorough investigation all the scales In his district he found but two- that were weighing against the public, while on the other hand he found scale after scale that was proving a losing propo sition for its owner. "The reason is simple," said Mr. Wortman. "A groceryman may exer cise' every care to keep his store per fectly clean and up to date. but he fails to dust off his scales and keep them from corroding and rusting. As soon as they reach that stage, whiCh doesn't require a great while, the scales will weigh correctly at lero, but show long weight for the customer at any other mark. Thousands of dollars are lost by business men In this manner annu ally and they don't know it." RAILROAD FILES DEEDS CARVEll 1.IXB PROPOSES TO ISStUK 3T.O,000 BO.VUS FOR. EXTENSION.
