Oregon state fair is announced
hy Mrs. W. Carlton Smith, Sa
lem, superintendent of the art
department.
For the first time.' no distinc
tion will be made between am

department of the fair, which will
be held here September 7 to 13.

will not be announced until judg
ing is completed, Mrs. Smith
states.
"The fair realises that It Is
not possible for displays of art
for one week to compete in ex
cellence and extent with that of
permanent galleries, but for at
mosphere, location and lighting
effects the are section this year is
going to be a real surprise and
with the- cooperation of artists of
the state it will be one of the
finest departments of the fair,"
Sirs. Smith declares.
Location Improved
"Artists and others who have
visited the new art building are
very happy that the fair manage
ment has consented to put the
art department in a place where
It can be found readily and
where the exhibits wil be shown
to the best advantage," states
Mrs. Smith.
The art department will occupy
building of its own between
the poutry and agricultural pavilions-
on -the south side of the
grounds.

rent estimates total expenditures of the two par
ties in their efforts to put their respective candi
dates in the White House will amount to nearly
$17,000,000. Radio, advertising and. organisation

conducted from that point.
: The building has been remodel
ed to serve as permanent office

quarters were fitted up for tem
porary service in the first aid sta

its old location. Administrative
offices which stood at the main
gates for years were torn down
prior to the 1935 fair because the
building was unsafe, and with no
funds on band to reconstruct this
building the remodeling of the
honey and bee building was start
ed several weeks ago.

The new office is nearer the

Regulation,' Oregon's -Commissioner
Says .
Frank C. McColloch, p u b 1 1 o
utilities commissioner, spoke at
Friday noon's meeting of the Sa
lem .Credit association at the Ar-
go hotel on the nature of public
utility regulation.
He pointed out that Oregon is
unique in that it is the only state
In the union that has a one-man
utility commission. He said that
In the beginning of utility reg
ulation, legislatures passed laws
owering railroad rates and
charges made by other utilities.
but that this legislation was
fought by the concerns affected
with result that the legislative
acts were carried to the United
WMivB as ta i viuv wu
Cralaa annMTMa A1tvt :
The court ruled as far back as
1898 that the reproduction cost
new of utilities must be consid
ered in valuation of properties
and determining of a fair return
and since then that has been a ,
major factor In utility regulation.
necessitating Increased expend
iture in the regulatory field, emj
ployment of experts, and greatei
complexities.
Mr. McColloch said that util
ities were not confined to any ;
state line, and that one time the
Northwestern Electric company i
took a case to court to prove
that it had five million dollars;
worth of property in the middle
of the Columbia river. ,
The public utilities commis-.
sioner explained that in Oregon
an attempt is made first to de;
termine the actual cost of a util
ity, then to examine operating ex
penses, and finally to determine
whether or not it is making mak
ing more than a fair return. Rata
reductions of 9200.000 in the is1
months that he had served In his
office were said to have taken
effect and other reductions are'
to follow shortly, he predicted.
