' The executive committee of the Oregon Farm Bureau federation met this mom Ing at 10 o'clock In its offices In Portland to take up many matters of the year's work and to outline future policies. The state bureau recently started pub lishing a paper to take the place of all county bureau papers heretofore isaued. A committee Is outlining a definite pol icy for this paper A membership drive is now on in Yamhill county. George A. Mansfield. president of the bureau, and Secretary William Alrd, who have been on a speak' Ing tour through that county, report that the men in that county are enthu siastic and determined to build up a strong county organisation.'. Meetings have been held In Newberg, Yamhill, Sheridan and .McMlnnville, which were attended by between 600 and 600 people at each meeting. MEMBERS 8IG5ED During' the preliminary speaking cam paign about 25 men from each district were signed as members. They wUl sign the rest of the membership. Mansfield reports that farmers in gen eral throughout the parts of the state he amm jcciiiij visiieu sro laaing-a lively Interest In the Question of taxation. In Oregon ss well aa elsewhere," he says, "wealth Is escaping taxation, while the producer and the consumer are bear' Ing practically, the entire burden. There are cases where farmers wish to retire snd move to the city but they cannot rent their farms If they t charge the ten' ant enough to pay the taxes and keep up ine i arm. "How- are we going to carry on gov ernment here In Oregon? The tax de linquency of farmers amounts to an as tonishing figure, and a large number are going to their banks trying to borrow enough money to' pay thier taxes. believe that a plan must be worked out to tax Wraith as well as agriculture, HIGH ASSESSMENT Take, for Instance, Washington county. The assessed valuation of the farmers there is something like $16,000. 000. not including livestock, and other such chattels. In the same county the assessed valuation of the money is but snout 1 . "la it any wonder, then, that the farmers are suffering from taxation? The banks of the state are assessed but 0 per cent of their original capital stock, notwithstanding the fijet that their stock Is actually valued at a much higher figure. They are. in fact, taxed on the same basis as machinery and equipment upon a farm which depreciates in value each year. "While the bank resources are capable of being turned over repeatedly during the year, the capital of the farm is a fixed irryestment and less than 10 per cent of it Is turned each year." Mansfield cannot see a great future for the sgricultural industry of the state until a better system of financing and taxation can be worked out.' When asked about the agricultural Inquiry to be held at Washington. D. C, Mansfield states that he is somewhat In doubt as to just what such a body can accomplish. Thirty naval reserve officers from Portland and vicinity met Thursday night with Lieutenant Commander John A. Beckwith to discuss the organisation of a local chapter of the National Naval Reserve Officers' association. .The tem porary officers of the organization, Philip Neu. president, and R. W.

"Work of checking the traffic in nar cotics needs concerted effort of all those ' Interested and it stands to reason that with two separate organisations there would be a great deal of waste motion and overlapping action." IfEW BODT FORMED The Portland association was formed four weeks ago at the request of the mayor. Two meetings were held and the governor was then asked to call a state-wide meeting. This was done Wednesday and the Oregon association j came into being. Mayor Baker was elected head of the state organisation by unanimous accord.

One railroad man said ; "Railroads must consider every feature offering economy in operation and construction these daya The introduction of gasoline propelled rail cars seems to be about the best thing ever offered along that line. BUT LITTLE GRADING "Construction of the road is estimated at about $3000 a mile. It requires no grading of any consequence. Any timber available is suitable for ties and very light rails are practical: in fact, the long-used wood rails of the sawmill roads would be very desirable on branch and feeder lines." Arnold has established . his Offices at La Pine and will start work from that point. - He has a specially-designed gaso line driven locomotive under construc tion which will be completed and shipped to La Pine as soon as patents which are now pending have been granted. Foreign Commerce Shows Big filump Washington, Jan. U. (I. N. s.)

Farmers Perfect Campaign to Rout Marauding Rodents fra N. Gabrielson, in charge of rodent control work for the government bio logical survey, has returned from at tending a series of farmers' meetings in Jackson and Josephine counties, where the question of poisoning gray diggers was discussed. While poison campaigns have been carried on for several years, farmers find it difficult to rid their farms of the pests as long as the ro dents are in the government lands in I the hills, said Gabrielson.
