Yes, the ladies by the Christian fimtneaa .liens Committee Department of Agriculture. It challenges -a law passed by the 1951 Legislature to regulate and license the. application of herbi cides, 'fertilizers and similar ag riculture controls, by aircraft spraying and dusting and other means. Demers had asked for an order temporarily restraining enforce ment until the constitutionality was decided. However, the case. piled only two weeks ago yester day, was placed on the court docket early by Circuit Judge Rex Kimmell, with the intention of settling the issue quickly and without resort to injunction. Each party was given five days, -successively, for filing of briefs, with arguments on them to be heard next week. Exam Fee Set The law sets up examinations and license fees ($10 per year for an aircraft operator and $1 for each plane although other types of application also are regulated). It gave the Department of Agri culture authority to promulgate regulations to enforce the law. In order to further the admin istration, the department set up a school for operators at Oregon State College Jan. 28-30. Claims Violations Demers complaint claims that the law violates the state con stitution in such matters as fail ure of the act's title to embrace its subject matter, granting of unequal privileges to classes of citizens, abridgement of some privileges, attempting to deprive some of liberty and property without due process of law, deny ing equal protection of the law, failing to set up reasonable classi fications of materials and areas under regulation, delegating to a committee of judicial and legis lative powers. He alleged that enforcement would deprive him of his occupa tion and compensation and lessen the value of his equipment. An affidavit said he has hired as many as 40 pilots, but has found this year hat many of them would not be interested in going to the trouble of securing licenses, since the work is intermittent. Police Powers The department's reply affi davits hold that the act is a rea sonable exercise of the state's po lice powers, that it is "to protect the public from indiscriminate and improper appllcaton of ma terials and also to protect pilots while engaged" in the occupation. They also hold that attendance at the school is not a condition of "being able to take the exami nation or gain a license, but to assist pilots. Affidavits also were filed by J. Arlo Livingston, chairman of the agricultural section of the Oregon State Aviation Associa tion, saying the group aided in drafting the bill and that most Oregon pilots are cooperating in its enforcement, and by Senate Aeronautiics Director W. M. Bart lett, saying that 72 pilots took a short course in the subject last year, with inquiries Indicating about 125 to participate this year.
