FOR SCHOOL HEAD House bill 4 43 introduced Tues day by Representative McCready of Lane county, caused some sur prise In the house, not because it called for an increase in salary for the state superintendent of public instruction, from $4000 to $5000, but because it was not known by many of those present that the salary was but $4000 at present. The state superintendent, al though he Is regarded as the head of all schools, actually receives less than many city school super intendents, it Is pointed out by backers of the bill. Some of these executives receive as high aa $4,- 500 to $5000. In addition to his duties as head of public Instruction, the superin tendent must also serve as a mem ber of, the board of regents of the University of Oregon and Oregon State college, is chairman of the board of standardization, and has numerous other ex-offlclo duties. Work done by tbe holder of the office -amply justifies a salary of $5000 as proposed, and so far no opposition has developed toward the measure. AUTO CLUB LAW T Section 4 of Chapter 419.

The bill provides "for the adop tion of standards and grades tor potatoes, describes the require- menfffof containers and the label-' ing thereof, provides for the in spection of potatoes in certain In stances, provides for the collection ; of fees, and places the admlnistra- tiOn of the act with the state mar ket agent." Potatoes coming in from out side, whether from the famous state of Idaho or elsewhere, would under this act bear on the con tainer the name of the locality In which they were grown, the grader name of grower, and if for seed, the variety of spud within. Certi fication of seed potatoes would be placed under the board of the Ore gon Agricultural college. Standards to be observed under this act are those approved by the United States bureau of agricul ture, and bv the state board. Backers of the bill feel that Oregon can grow as good potatoes as any other state, not even Idaho excepted, but that rigid standard ization of quality should be Insist ed upon In order to gain market ing ability. This measure is ex pected to prove a progressive ste; in such a program. TURNER.
