All judges and commis sioners prged greater care in lo cating' market roads. Taxation of transient livestock, pwned in one county and grazed iii another, was discussed. v It was decided that each county would have to work out its own prob lem concerning Canadian thistles, aa there was no apparent univer sal remedy. Resolutions on : the death of Judge W. M. Rushey of Marion county and Judge E. H. Smith of Lake county were passed. The judges and commissioners also adapted a resolution thank ing the Salem Chamber of Com merce for the hospitality extend ed to the visiting members. Many expressed the opinion that no "oth er community could $qual the en tertainment and education pro vided by the local county officials in co-operation With the officers of the association, one member saying that "no one elselhad the free eats and the' free entertain ment available that Marion coun ty has." The resolution favoring the sev erance tax was the one favored by Governor Pierce. It passed the legislature, and following its in troduction he made an explanation of what it would mean to the va rious counties and following its adoption thanked the association for going on record in favor of it. saying he would fight for it and he knew it meant a fight with those who opposed it. The resolution was as follows: "Whereas, The state of Oregon has an immense natural resource in its standing timber, the largest of all states In the union, the vol ume of Which is increasing every year owing tp the exhaustion of the timber resources of other states; and, "Whereas, Nearly one-third, of this immense timber resource is in various forest and Indian re serves and neither the state or the county are able to tax this timber owing to the fact that it is standing on reserve land; and, "Whereas, The principle has been firmly established by the su preme court of tha United States that a state has the -right to tax any of its natural resources, when severed; k f "Therefore, Be it resolved, that this convention at this time rec ommends that a bill be' initiated to be placed upon the ballot to "be voted on at the regular election in November, 1924, to tax all timber when severed not less than one dollar per thousand feet; and. "Be it further resolved, That we recommend to those initiating the bill that the fund derived from such severance tax be divided into four equal parts, one-fourth to be paid to the county treasurer where the timber is severed for the pur pose ot reducing the county tax; one-fourth to be paid to the state treasurer for the purpose of r& ducing the slate taxes; one-fourth to be paid into a fund for reforest Ing for the state, smd one-fourth to be paid Into ithe irreducible school fund for the benefit of 4he common schools."

COMMERCE ACT So Declares Public Service Commission in Letter - to Congress Amendments to the interstate commerce act that would leave much more power with the state railroad and utilities commissions and take, some of it away from the interstate ' commerce commis sion are asked by the Oregon pub lic service commission in a letter addressed to the Oregon delega tion in congress. This is in ac cordance with sentiment expressed at the convention of state rail road and , utilities commissioners at Miami, Fla., recently,' and the commissions of other states are taking similar action. "At .the recent session in Miami, Florida, of the State Railway and ! Utilities commissioners, certain desirable amendment. the j transportation act were discuss ed," says the letter. "This com mission is very much interested in the various features enumerat ed below: "We urge upon congress such amendment of the interstate com merce act as shall remove all question as to continued power of state authorities to require com mon carriers to make additions and betterments to their plants and facilities reasonably necessary for the safe and proper service of the public. "We urge upon congress Imme diate legislation at the present session which shall so amend th interstate commerce act as clear ly to define and limit the power of the Interstate commerce com mission, so that no intrastate rate may be changed er set aside with out proof by competent evidence, and upon findings of fact made, that the same injures a person or persons or a locality or localities engaged in interstate commere. to such an extent as seriously to retard the growth and develop raent of such locality or local! ties. "Further that it is the sense of this commission that the group plan of making rates, prescribed by said section 15a is uneconomic and unsound and that the tend ency under its provisions iilo pro duce returns upon roads that are unable to produce returns them selves, has placed an$ unjust bur den upon the business of the na tion, from which it should be re lieved by the immediate repeal of sald,section 15a." Another amendment desired would give the state authorities power to govern the distribution of freight cars within the state boundaries to the shippers. Congress also is asked to make an appropriation to enable fhe in terstate colfetnnrce commission to report its findings on railroad valuations to the state commis sion, which it has failed to do, ac cording to the allegations of the state commission.
