Stabilizing Decision
Decision of Circuit Judge Lusk in
Portland in upholding the constitutional-
ity of the milk control law should be a
stabilizing influence in the dairy industry
of this section. Its importance and value
is brought out in a letter by Representa-
live E. L. Ross, which appears under Pub-
lie Forum.
The dairy industry is of the greatest
importance to the economic welfare of
W ashington county and anything t h a t
might happen to it would seriously affect
all business in this section. Although most
people are inherently opposed to govern­
mental regulation, removal of state con­
trol of the milk industry and its return to
the old “ dog eat dog" methods, where

To th e E d ito r—I wish to call to th e attention
of th e people of Washington county, the efforts of
the N atiunal S tar Route C arriers' association to ob­
tain legislation m aking perm anent all existing star

The N ational S tar Route C arriers' association is
an organization representing approxim ately 12.000
carriers- who serve over 25.000.000 people. Many
a sta ru route c a rr‘t r receives a bare living and
as each contract expires is forced to bid still low-
er to hold his job
, In a .rc.ce.n .t . editorial in the Oregon Journal the
system of bidding on a star route contract is te rm ­
ed "a relic of stage coach days of America." The laws
governing star route service are over 60 years old
and made before the days of autom obile and R F. D
service. Ninety per cent of the star route carriers
of Oregon are perform ing R. F. D. service. The
