Object to Paying;
Two County Agents
Particular objection was made
by several speakers to the em

It was alleged that one of these
agents receives an annual salary
of $5100, while the otner ageni
receives $1800 a year. 5
"What we want -Is an audit ot
both the experiment station and
the county -agent department,?
declared "Mr. Wilson. : Another
speaker asked whether It would
be possible for the governor to
remove Ins head of the experi
mental station and the county
agent. Governor : Meier replied
that this is not possible under the
existing, laws, -
It was brought out that 30 per
cent of the farms in Clatsop coun
ty are now delinquent in the pay
ment of taxes. ,
Marks Suggests -J -, .
Taxation Study i
WUlard Marks, president of the
senate, suggested that the Clat
sop county farmers organize anl
association and give some study
to their tax bills.
You will find. said Marks.
"that most of the taxes are due
to local levies. Less than four
cents of the tax dollar goes to
pay state costs, while the county
levies average less than 7 cents.
Forty-six cents of your tax dollar
goes for education, 23 cents for
roads and X cents for municipal
expenses.
Marks urged the farmers to
take more interest in local tax af
fairs. He also called attention of
the group to mlllage levies over
whieh neither the governor nor
the legislative have any control.
uovernor Meier made it plain
that he had not made an- deci
sion as to -who he- would appoint
director of the -state agricultural
department. ; He sursrested that
the delegation return to their
homes, prepare a statement
showing any overlapping and ex
travagances in county .govern
ment, and send the same to him
office. .
Governor Meter was commend
ed by the speakers for his effort
to reduce taxes. Special reference
was made to the executive 1 veto
of $590,000 in the appropriation
for the higher board ot educa
tion. '

APRIL FOOL ISSUE
A certain group ot students at

and 'tis said the entire echool Is

on it,
For the Clarion high i school

cial April Fool edition which-the
news staff guarantees will be a
readable affair.
The three issues of the paper
beginning April 17 will be given
over to the. annual later-class

iors will put out the first edition,
juniors the next one May and the
sophomores the last one May 15.

Then too: the day may ha dedV

to laugh at a joke on yeurneic U
goes- herd with peeplev who- can
not laugh at themselves la ' this
world. We '-. are all amusing
enough to the- other person but
to ourselves we are -quits serious

Fool's day this year can through
its representative tun makers
make the people who take them
selves so seriously laugh at their
own expense-then there is a good
reason for the day.
Again. April Fool's day may be
the result of the wish among
mankind that things be .not so
serious as they 'appear. .We aU
hope things are not what they
seem at times, and what a glor

one way ot giving- unsuspecting

To be sare there are those
who are led to anticipate much

joke. The "let down" tn a laugh

but It Is excellent 'discipline for a
high flying disposition.
This little yarn is the first
"April Fool" of the season one
