That sounds encouraging.1-- : -. : The Salem district produced 4,000,000 pounds of strawber ries in 1926. That looked big. Itwas big; But this district pro duced 12,000,000 pounds last year trebled the tonnage. Anu the total will not be far from that figure for tua year. This is the great strawberry -center of the United States. for berries sent to outside markets. We are to be much mort so. That is something worthy , of the pride of our people. Te years agor Hood River was the big strawberry, section of Ore gon. - - ... -'BEHWD THE TIMES'' "A Reader" aends this cpinmumcation to The Statesman: " ?As per your request; let me suggestjthe name, 'Behind Un 'i. pmeaf,''aV4. hr'nme.t0'r steamboat plying up ant down the-Wfllainette river; A liver beVj8"4re&"of.b3tJ - gone days, that, together with the covered wagon and the ..ox ; iart, should be relegated to the ash heap' - - -A Reader" ia mistaken.' The river steamboat (and "tht barge) is anything but a relieof bygone days. On the .Missis sippi Tiver, there is a great reviavl of boating and barging ' California sugar makers and refiners are laying xlownLthei. - product in the Chicago area at 10 centa a 100 pounds cheap " er than the same article can be shipped by rait from the At lantic seaboard; the sugar going through the Panama cana and up the Mississippi by boat and barge. On the Rhine and Elbe rivers in Germany and the riverr of France and other progressive European countries; tht heavy freights are largely handled by boats and barges. For passenger service, the river steamer is largley a thing of the past. The romantic old days of that service will nevei return. But for the carrying of heavy freight, there will never b any way as cheap as water transportation. Still water in the Willamette, providing a boating and barg ing stage the year through, up to Salem and as far as Eu gene, will add something to the value of every pound ano bushel and bale and package of all the products of this grea, valley seeking outside markets ; making all water connection with every deep water port of the world, with only a smaL charge for the transfer from barge or boat to ocean liner ir. the harbor of Portland. There is to be a conference bureau movement of the country, at Yakima, Wash., conven ing on June 26. It will be a great meeting, and every as pect of thf farm problem will be delved into With special emphasis on transportation; with stress up on the larger use of the Panama canal for reaching the east em and European markets with heavy freights, like wheat hay, beef, apples and other fruits, etc., etc. ' Mr. Hoover, the world's greatest engineer, who is to be tht -next president of the United States, is an advocate of thi improvement of our inland waterways. This means a reviva. f river boating and barging. , , ,;t , - The new river steamer to go on the Willamette i run- will bt able to make the trip between Salem and Portland with 15( tons of freight drawing only two feet of. water. It should, bt able to go the year through. ' t If it does not, the fact will be a disgrace to the engineering i department of the United States government. There, will be another disgrace, to the statesmanship of this country, and " to the enterprise of all the people of the Willamette valley, ; if there is not soon provided a boating stage in the Willam rette that will allow boats and barges of any reasonable draft f to operate the year through.

Without the equalization clause, it would amount to nothing. It would be a dud; a gesture; a puff of wind. .......

But it would work, and it and it would not be class legislation,- any- more than any pro- tectnss tariff law is class legislation. '; ..r;? - . CHILDREN'S DAY SQNQ .

Restraining Order Handed Down to Prevent Collection By State PORTLAND, June 18. (AP) Declaring that evidence fully sus tained the contention of seven na tional banks of Portland, that the ittempt of the state to impose a tax upon their shares while com leting money capital was not aqually taxed, was unlawful. Fed eral Judge Bean today handed lown a decision in favor of the o lain tiff banks, permanently re training T. M. Hurlburt, sheriff and tax collector of Multnomah i ounty, from collecting the tax as sessed for 1926. In his opinion. Judge Bean said : "The applicable law has been dearly established. National banks are agencies of the general gov ernment and neither their property nor their shares of stock can be taxed by the state without the con sent of congress, and then only in conformity to such restrictions ac t may impose. "Congress by appropriate legis lation has permitted the taxation by states of shares of national banks, subject to the restriction that the tax imposed shall not be at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital In the hands of individual citizens ot such itste coming into competition with the business of national banks." ' The decision of the court in ef fect invalidates the assessment for 1927, now due, as well as that for 19 2fi, and any 'further assessment against the banks by the state un til the present taxation law is changed. A particularly .significant fea ture of the court's holding was the recognition of thirty-four million dollars worth of highway bonds, held by individual residents of the state, as being in active com peti tion with the capital of the Bank: GREETINGS SENT WASHINGTON, Juno It (AP) - President Coolidge aad Secre tary Kellogg today sent cable grams to Miss Amelia Ear hart congratulating Iter upon her suc cessful trans-Atlantic flight.- ' .'
