That sounds encouraging.1-- : -. :
The Salem district produced 4,000,000 pounds of strawber

the total will not be far from that figure for tua year.

-'BEHWD THE TIMES''
"A Reader" aends this cpinmumcation to The Statesman:
" ?As per your request; let me suggestjthe name, 'Behind Un

barge) is anything but a relieof bygone days. On the .Missis

" 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

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.

, - 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.

BANKS WIN FIGHT
TO ESCAPE T.
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:
