reporter of the Oregonian.
telling of the arrival of the flax
pulling machines in Portland, on
their way to Salem (which was
premature)', said ; they "are. the
latest; thing, for the treatment of
flax.' ; Treatment is not the prop
er word.. They, are; not only the
latest, thing, but the only thing
for the pulling of flax -the only
machine yet. perfected that will
both pull and bind lax, and get
away with It. Though there are
several , machines; tbat will pull
flax.1! -The trouble was to perfect
one that would -both pull and bind
flax.
and deliver the bundles prop-
erly.
- A
The same reporter also said
higher prices are paid farmers for
pulled flax than for cut flax be-
eajuse the pulling gets the full
length of the fiber. That's right.
But the main reason is because
the tutting of flax, is done with
a! mower, and It Is sold , loose, not
bound. Flax for the fiber must
be bound, in order that it may he
retted. These machines will bind
the flax with heads mpre even
than- can be accomplished with
hand pulling. Theywill lose less
seedj by shattering, where the flax
Is dead ripe." The machine pulled
and bound flax is . really worth
about $2' a ton more than the
hand pulled flax, on account of
the feaving of seed and the saving
of, labor In handling the product
down, through the scutching stage,
where the fiber. Is separatee from
the woody portion. It may come
about, -in future years', that there,
will be a premium ! paid on ma
chine pulled flax over the hand
pulled product. -The mowed flax
Is I used only for upholstering' tow,
selling for $100 a ton. The pres
ent price of long line flax, fiber, is
4840 a ton. ,

;- Income Tax In Danger. , .
7 Jn vlewT developments con
cerning a state - income , tax,' it
looks as if such a law In Oregon
is in Jeopardy. Whilo the Grange
income tax act,- which Is approved
by -Governor Piercl, failed jto re
ceive the necessary number of sigX
natures to go on the ballot, C. C;
Chapman's ! measure providing for
the repeal of the present act was
filed with 31,141 ; signatures,
while only 13,498 were necessary,
"Of these 31,141 signatured,"
said ; Chapman yesterday, 423;963
were certified by - county j clerks
after comparison with ,the! signa
tures on the voters' registration
cards.; ! The 7173 uncertified (sig
natures included several thousand
which were not submitted to coun
ty clerks for certification.! owing
to their having been received; too
late. The balance of tbe uncerti
fied signatures are those of legal
voters, according ' to : the circula
tors, and under the law all couid
have been certified as legal voters
by notaries public who knew each
personally to . be a legal voter.
However, It was not 'necessary to
restort to the expedient .of ; asking
Notarial certification1 of unregis
tered voters so all the certifica
tion -laby county clerks of voters
who actually are registered."
cnapman claims the signatures
have come from every county in
the state.. : T; ! .-j , .
"The Jcirculatlon of petitions,"
he said,' "was almost wholly by
volunteers ( who gave their time
because; of their desire to rid Ore
gon of a law which they believed
was retarding state development.
The signatures obtained by volun
tary circulation exceed in number
the, legal requirement. .The paid
circulators! were engaged when
they were willing to circulate at
a cost of . 5 cenU for each Certi
fied name and this paid 'circula
tion' gave the 'general pulblic of
Portland and of six outside coun
ties a chance to sign the petition
if they desired to do so.
