SALEM, Or., Aug. 29. (Special.)
The so-called "taxation and conser
vation commission act," enacted at
the last session of the legislature and
applying only to those counties hav
ing 100.000 or more papulation. Is
valid and is not local or special legis
lation, according to an opinion writ
ten by Chief Justice Burnett and
handed down by the Oregon supreme
court at a special session here today
The opinion also held that the "lo
cal budget law" passed by the 1921
legislature, applying to municipalities
in general, does not make it incum
bent upon the city of Portland to
incur an expense of approximately
$20,000 in publishing the estimates
and estimate sheets.
The opinion uptield Judge John
McCourt of Multnomah county in the
case brought by Abe Tichner against
he city of Portland to test the valid-
ty of the "taxation and conservation
commission" act, and the right of the
city to expend funds for the publica
tion of estimates as provided in t'he
local budget law.

Thirteenth Amendment Abolishing
Slavery Cited In Denying- Pro
test of Petitioners.
The city council of Portland lacks
power to prevent negroes from con
structing a building solely on the
ground that such persons are
negroes, according to an opinion filed
with the council yesterday by City
Attorney Grant.
The question arose as the result of
a protest filed by O. B. Shorbert and
others against the granting of a.
permit to erect a gymnasium at
Williams avenue and. Tillamook
street. Such, property is owned, it
was stated, by negroes, and the
Protestants not oniy objected to the
gymnasium building but to tho con
struction of any building by negroes.
Slavery Amendments Filed.
In his opinion Attorney Grant
called attention to the 13th and 14th
amendments to the constitution. The
13th was adopted by congress short
ly after the civil war had been con
cluded and abolished slavery. The
14th amendment was adopted shortly
thereafter and prevents any state
and any municipality from enacting
legislation which would abridge the
privileges or Immunities of any citt
sen, deprive any citizen of life, lib
erty or property wthout due process
of law or deny to any person the full
protection of the law.
City Attorney Grant called atten
tlon to the fact that this amendment
has been put to severe tests in the
highest courts and has been con
strued! to give full citizenship and all
rig-hta thereof to negroes.
"To grant the prayer of the peti
tloners would be solely on the ground
of color," the opinion reads in its con
elusion. "It may be claimed that
acquisitions of property by colored
persons depreciate- property owned in
the neighborhood of white persons.
Restriction Is Prohibited.
"But property may bo acquired by
undesirable white neighbors or put
to disagreeable though lawful uses
with like results. The council is
therefore advised that it has no au
thority to enact an ordinance prohib
iting colored people from construct
ing a building on a piece of ground
owned by them solely on the ground
that they are colored people, and
therefore the prayer of the petition
ers must be denied."
The opinion probably will reach the
city council in time for action on the
protest at the regular council meet
ing tomorrow. While protests have
been made from time to time against
the intrusion of negroes into a neigh
borhood settled by white persons, set
tlements of difficulties of this nature
always have been effected outside of
the council. This Is the first time
that the city council has requested a
ruling on this question.

close. Much
fall wheat Is already aboard: car or
in tho warehouse. The yield has been
pood. Early season expectations of
many farmers who predicted a bump
er crop have failed to materialize,
due to late rains in tho spring and
the dry summer. Quality of the grain
Is good.
An Incomplete survey shows that
the crop averaged between 20 and
25 bushels of wheat an acre. Some
farmers got 30 bushels to the acre,
while a few had yields of 35 and 40
bushels an acre. Dan Kirby, a large
grower of the Bellevuo district, and
George Gutbrodt, who has a farm
outn of Sheridan, both had yields
which averaged 30 bushels.
Farmers are divided on plans for
disposal of the crop. Some will sell
at once, while others prefer to hold
their harvest for an expected better
price later in tho season. Wheat at
the Schmidt warehouse here, which
has received about 20.000 bushels of
grain this season, is bringing 95 cents
a bushel, unsacked, and $1 sacked.

A GENTLE WAY
TO END CORNS
Thm Modern Method, Scientific,
Easy, Quick and Sure
The old corn enders were harsh,
crude and uncertain. They came
into disrepute.
Then a world-famed laboratory
created a new method, and millions
have adopted it.
The new way is Blue-jay liquid
or plaster. One applies it by a
touch. The pain stops instantly,
and soon the whole corn loosens
and comes out.
To pare a corn and keep it now
is folly. Stop it the moment it ap
pears. Remove it in this gentle way.
Watch one corn go when Blue
jay is applied. You will let it deal
with all corns after that.

INFANT'S SCALP IS
FREED FROM ECZEMA
New Remedy Is Boon to Mothers
and Blessing to Children.
Tender Heads Quickly
Soothed.
Mothers are finding In Berlault's
HAIR-Bltters, the new guaranteed
scalp remedy, a veritable boon as it
not only quickly cleanses the scurf
from off the heads of the tiny tots but
relieves the torture which many chil
dren suffer from Itching and irritated
scalps.
In a letter to the Berlault Mfg. Co.,
C. J.. Mettler, sales manager of the
Fithian-Barker Shoe Co., tells how his
little son was relieved by this treat
ment. He says:
"Some time ago, through the cour
tesy of your Mr. Besner, I received a
bottle of HAIR-Bitters and, in order
to give It a good, severe test, I tried
it out on my son who has been
troubled with eczema ever since his
infancy.
"I am pleased to advise that after
four applications of your HAIR
Bitters the eczema has entirely dis
appeared and his scalp is free from
this dreadful disease and all dand
ruff."
Being free from alcohol or poison
of any description, It is perfectly safe
to use on the smallest infant, and
there is no burning or smarting sen
sation even where the scalp is raw.
Older children also experience the
same remarkable results when HAIR'
Bitters is used and there Is no period
of life from infancy to old age when
HAIR-Bitters will not prove beneficial
where scalp eczema, dandruff, falling
hair or other form of scalp ailment
is present.
HAIR-Bitters Is sold at leading
drug-stores, price $2 and $3 the bottle.
Applications can be secured at bar
bers and hair dressers. If you are
suffering from any form of scalp ail
ment or if any member of your family
is so afflicted, give It a trial. (Ad
