Tennessee Tries to Place
Limit on Dealers But
Court Objects
! Old Reliable Prune Fills New Role
The recent gas war has drawn
attention of the motorists to a
variety of prices existing for the
same grade of gasoline. This va
riety of prices, coupled with var-
Jous statements that hare been
made relative to the high margin
of profit made by various persons
handling gasoline, has caused
much comment among motorists.
Numerous efforts have been made
in the past to regulate the price
of gasoline but it remained for
the legislature of Tennessee to
pass a law during the 1927 ses-
jjiOn which established a bureau
empowered with the authority to
regulate the price and distribu
tion of gasoline. This bureau was
to function in much the same
manner as a public service com
mission does with respect to the
regulation of public utilities.
The Standard Oil company, and
other companies, obtained an in
junction from the district court
of the United States, middle dis
trict of Tennessee, the court hold
ing that the sale of gasoline was
not so affected with a public in
terest as to oe subject to price
regulation. In so holding the
court said:
"This act does not purpose and
indeed could not be said to be
such a measure; It is nothing but
an attempt to fix the price at
which one may sell or buy gaso
line, a commodity, to be sure, in
general use, and fconcededly neces
sary to the convenience, comfort
and well being of the citizens of
the state, but not more necessary
than many other commodities
which are bought and sold within
the state."

representative agricultural coun
ties of Oregon are the scenes of
the work. So far It has been
learned that while the pheasants
eat a certain amount of cereals
they also destroy pests that do
damage to crops, and feed on
weed seeds that if given growth
would be destructive to tlu farm

game commissions have asked for I
reports on the work now being !

Public's Advice

INDIANAPOLIS. (AP) The

Nomadic workers, drifting; with
their families from place to place,
from farm to city and back, create
a need for uniformity in schools,

rector of high school inspection.
Children taken out of one school

Unfavorable weather conditions
have so far cost the state game
commission approximately. $25,
000. Many anglers who have
formed the habit of fishing imme
diately' after the season opens
have been held up in the purchase
of licenses due to the fact that
the streams of the Willamette val
ley and other sections have been
unfavorable for angling. Un
doubtedly when the weather im
proves these sportsmen will take
advantage of the situation and
purchase their licenses. Ont thing
that may be said In favor of the
bad weather is that the fish will
have the advantage of almost two
months of growth before they are
taken from the streams.
GAME FARM EXPERT
That the Oregon State Game
commission is recognized as ef

pagation is shown in the fact that
the commission of Montana has

Simpson, game farm superinten

weeks to work in an advisory ca
pacity. Mr. Simpson will go to
Montana and superintend the es
tablishment of a modern game
farm. Last year the California
commission called upon Mr. Simp
son to superintend the construc
tion of one of the most important
game farms of the country. Oth
er states hare sent men here to
work under the Oregon commis
sion and learn the work of game
propagation. Mr. Simpson has

The Hungarian partridge has not

more Mongolian pheasants will be
raised than heretofore as it has
been shown that they thrive in
Eastern Oregon where plantings
hare been made.

Construction work Is going on at
the Bandon hatchery at well as
at the Fall River plant. New i
ponds are being made ready at
Canyon Creek hatchery and simi
lar work is 1 nprorress at the
Union hatchery. Better results
have been obtained at the Union
hatchery during the last year than
ever before. Warm water was ob
tained last fall from a nearby hot
spring and put in the breeding
tanks and ponds. In this way the
commission was able to keep the
wate rat an even temperature and
the growth, of the fish increased
almost twice as fast as it did un
der conditions where the water
was of fluctuating temperatures.

"BE LAW ABIDING" URGE
"Don't make it necessary for
the warden to arrest you." This is
the advice of Harold Clifford,
state game warden to those who
do not always regard the game
protective laws. "Dont's catch
more than the legal limit. Don't
angle in closed streams. Read the
laws carefully and obey them.
Thus help to conserve one of Ore
gon's greatest resources.''
