Bought an appraisal by a jury,
which awarded the amount of
damage. 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.

The occasion was an enjoyable
one and after the entertainment
the guests were dismissed with
thanks and the club settled down
