Mott Importance of '•afrguarding thr milk supply for human consumption was stressed at the Monday noon luncheon meeting of the Hillsboro < harnber of Commerce by L. S. Leach of the dairy and food division of the state department of -/ri<ul- turr. ( ity Manager George McGee was cliairman and several members of the council were there to make a study of the question. Necessity and value of good milk li a s been appreciated throughout history, according t o Mr. Leach, vx ho said one could not be too carr- fu.‘ in the production of good milk. Hillsboro has good dairy men, declar ed the speaker, who has inspected dairies here for the state for 10 years He was unable to see why this city should be a dumping ground for milk that cannot be sold i n Portland. Sickness has often followed in the wake of a milk route, where the quality has not been up to standard, according tn Mr Leach, who said that hr had seen some bad condi tions and that some “D” milk bas being delivered here. State inspec tion is necessarily limitrd on ac count of the large territory to he covered. He declared that t those who in- vest their money to 1 produce the highest quality of milk should be encouraged, rather than to let some one who doesu’t come up to the quality standards come in and by undercharging ruin the investment of the man trying to give the peo ple good healthy milk. The United States department o f agriculture milk ordinance doesn’t put anyone out of business, but merely grades the milk. If a new floor has to be put in, a cement flooring is requir ed. Differences in the bacteria count of milk due to cooling were cited by Mr. Leach, who said that “A” grade mu-t be cooled to 50 degrees Immediately and held there. The barn must be up to standard, clean with a good floor and the bacteria count in the milk not more than 50,000. No one, he said, needs to bestitate about drinking it. Gride “B” is produced under similar con ditions, except that the cooling re quired is 60 degrees. Milk at 100 degrees will sour in less than 24 hours, while at 50 it is good up to four days and the bacteria increases up to 100 degrees, while there is lit tle from 40 to 60. Mr. Leach said he absolutely would not tolerate dirty cows. “D” milk can be most anything, the speaker said. The milk ordinance, Mr. Leach said, will not work a hardship on , those who are willing to try and do their best. Several dairymen in this city would be able to turn out grade ; “A” milk with minor changes, ac- cording to the speaker, who said , that consumption of milk has in- j creased from 400 to 500 per cent in many places when the ordinance goes into effect. Burns has a stand ard milk ordinance and McMinnville is just starting. The public is so benefitted that i the municipality should help in pay ing part of the inspection required, Mr. Leach said.

It was ac cepted by the court and Mrs. Eliza beth Todd of Forest Grove, former county probation officer, temporar-, ily named to the nost. State laws require that a county nurse must be a graduate nurse and must be recommended by the Ore gon Tuberculosis association, a c- cording to .Judge Donald T.

She is not a graduate nurse, but is a prac tical nurse.

Present methods of taxation were scored at the meeting of the Wash- ington County Tax Eq u all ¡cation League at the court bouse Saturday afternoon by James A. Mott, state irporation commissioner, and Dis trict Attorney E. B. 'Tongue. J. M. V’anderzanden of near Banks was re-elected president and Arthur Ire land of Greenville will serve again as secretary. The tax system in Oregon is A scrambled mess, according to Mr. Tongue, who said the budget does not represent the entire levy in the county, most of it being raised by special taxes. Decreases are impos sible, if we keep on spending, he «id. Attorney Tongue cited the dif ferences in equalities i n property taxes, the income tax and the ir>- t mgibles, pointing to the fact that no exemptions were allowed o n property. A farmer, he said, re ceives no deductions regardless of how much he loses, but rather pays 50 per cent of his income in taxes. Levy Method Wrong Taxation, according to the speak er, should be based on ability to pay with no exemptions and every one should pay some tax. Property tax might be based on rental values or it might be possible to have a law prohibiting the levy of a tax for more than 10 or 15 per cent on the rental value of agriculture. In any event, Mr. Tongue said it behooved the voters to know that the men they plan on sending to represent them in the state legislature have some knowledge of taxation and to be able to tell how they will make satisfactory changes. 'The district attorney expressed the belief that the trouble lies in the method of levy, saying that the power to produce should be a de termining factor. He advised against people losing their heads and sug gested careful study of the ques tions, which cannot be changed ov er night. Impossibility o f raising enough money for our governmental needs under the present antiquated plan, was stressed by Mr. Mott, who said government was becoming more complex and expensive. If the peo ple want better things, they must pay for them. At least 75 per cent of all taxes for all purposes are I .used from property, according to the speaker. Taxation Political Commissioner Mott blamed t h e people for this condition, declaring that they have refused to consider taxes as a political question. In or der to make a success of government everyone must take a part in pol ities, he said. The people should in sist on their lawmakers making a change in this obsolete system. Wealth is concentrated in too few hands and they pay very little in comparison on the tax bill. Remedy lies in a change whereby the burden will be lifted from those unable to bear it and put on the shoulders of those who can pay, averred the speaker. He considered his constitutional amendment to pro hibit levying a tax on property for state purposes as the best means of bringing a change. By a series of accidents there is no state tax this year, but no one doubts but we vx ill have it again next year and in the years to come.

We are now shipping corn into this section from the corn producing sections and there is some possibility of growing more of the corn we use. On the dairy farms the corn will work into the feeding program very nicely. The last census figures show that corn for grain purposes was being grown on 159 farms of Washington county, with an average yield per acre of 30.5 bushels. The same cen sus shows the average of all wheat to be 30 48 bushels per acre. In comparing the corn to the spring grain crops the figures show that barley averaged 317 and oats 15 bushels per acre. When these yields are reduced to pounds It can he noted that the corn yielded slightly (Continued from psg. IS) 4
