Gvil Service Asks Standing Of Resignees Salem Civil Service Commission announced Friday it had requested heads of the Salem fire and police departments to Indicate whether resigning employes are "in good standing." Although this practice has not been followed, so far as the offi cial commission record shows, it is called for by a section of the civil service code which applies to the return of civil service policemen and firemen who resigned but within a year decide to ask the commission for permission to withdraw their resignations. In one case at issue, the com mission is now considering a res ignation submitted by Fire Inspec tor Charles D. Whittemore, who said he had an opportunity to im prove his financial position. This brought from Fire Chief W. P. Roble Wednesday the request that his record show he was "not in good standing." The chief declared in writing that Whittemore had shown inattention to duty and an antagonistic attitude toward su periors recently. Commissioners withheld action on the resignation, pending an ap pearance of Whittemore if he wishes to contest the chiefs re port. Other personnel changes re ported by fire and police chiefs at the Wednesday meeting: Return of Fireman Royce Lin hart from military service and as signment of Thomas W. Giles, his temporary successor, to the post vacated by Whittemore. Employment of Vernon T. White and George H. Flawn as police of ficers from civil service list; em ployment of Justin Robert Corn stock and Ralph W. Hammack as temporary police officers without civil service status.

MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman For the first time in quite a spell, hog price prospects are brighter, according to reports re leased Friday. More sows and gilts are being sold this spring than usual which experts say, is a mistake so far as the seller Is concerned, but is fine for those who retain theirs. Both western cattle and hog prices advanced sharply this past week, while mid-western markets have been irregular, according to the USDA report released Friday. Receipts of cattle at the na tion's major markets so far this week have been the smallest of any time since the first of the year. Total receipts have been sharply under a year ago, while most of the time so far this season have been above a year ago. For two weeks now, slaughter cattle re ceipts have been low at Portland, j The total receipts of slaughter cat tle at Portland for the first quar ter of this year have been about 6 per cent below a year ago for the same period. Receipts of calves have been down about 13 per cent at Portland compared to a year ago for the first quarter. Most slaughter steers at Port land were bringing around 50 cents to $1 higher this week from the week previous. Heifers and cows were unchanged to around 50 cents higher. Veal calves have held steady. Good and choice steers have been ranging from $34 to $35.75 with a few making $35. Commercial steers have been bringing around $30 to $32.50. At the Ontario livestock market. Eastern Oregon, good slaughter cattle were scarce and prices for low choice steers went to $31. Light commercial steers at On tario were around $1 to $1.50 higher than a week ago. Only Denver showed a slightly lower market earlier this week. Prices, however, weakened at most mid western markets as the week progressed. The number of cattle on feed in the main cornbelt states early In April was reported to be about 3 per cent higher than a year ear lier. In California, the number oi j cattle on feed in this month's cen sus was about 20 per cent above a year ago. Idaho feeder cattle number 18 per cent more, Colorado 10j5er cent more. Although hog prices slipped a little as the week closed, top butchers were around 75 cents above closing a week earlier at Portland. While the market is ex pected to have its ups and downs for some time, it is expected to settle 'down to an "up" price be fore fall.

Big Truckers Initiative Bill Due on Ballot An Initiative measure amending the state constitution to prohibit a truck ton-mileage tax bill will be filed and voted on at the No vember electtion, the Oregon high way council announced Friday. The council, is composed of big truck operators. The same organization previ ously sponsored a measure to re peal house bill 465 of the 1951 legislature which increased fees and was a companion bill to one reducing registration fees. Refer endum was not filed against the latter bill. In case truckers are successful in their efforts to prohibit a truck mileage fee the state legis lature would be compelled to re coup money now derived from such fees, either from increased registration fees, which would strike hard at small trucks, or in crease the gasoline tax which would shift the burden to auto mobile passenger car owners. Records show that the truck ers in 1951 paid $6,862,531 in mileage fees and $3,285,571 in reg istration fees. It was estimated by the public utilities commissioner that the mileage fees that will be paid in 1952 will exceed $7,000, 000. In event the legislature is forced to increase the registra tion fees it would be on a grad uated basis of the weight of the vehicles and not on mileage. This would make it necessary for city delivery trucks operating on city streets to pay the same fee as tthe larger trucks using the state highways. Only alternate would be to in crease the gasoline tax, officials said. House bill 465 which the truck ers have blocked through use of the referendum was estimated to increases highway taxes on the trucks about $2,000,000 a year.
