Preferred Claims
Experiment in State Pa
ternalism Ends in Fail
ure and Loss
The three model farms estab
lished by the state at Independence,
Roseburg and Ochoco in 1919,
Thursday were transferred to the
Whitney L. Boise estate by action
of the board of control in payment
of the preferred claims of the
estate against them, amounting 'to
$14,500 and interest.
The disposal of these farms, upon
which the state expended approxi
mately $73,000, has been before the
board of control since the elimina
tion by the legislature In 1929 of
the Oregon land Settlement com
mission, which was formed to buy
and operate these three farms. The
legislature however did not ap
proprlate any funds with which to
pay off the obligations, and the ac
tion of the board Thursday was de
clared to be the extent to which it
could eo.
Whether or not the proposal
would be accepted by the Boise
estate was not known. Plowden

YEGGS CRACK
M'KAY'S SAFE
Salem police Thursday were
working out several dues that pos
sibly may result in the arrest of
burglars who some time during the
night cracked the safe at the Doug
las McKay Chevrolet comapny's of
fice and got away with $188.10 In
cash and a diamond ring valued
t $300.
How the cracksmen got into the
building is something of a mystery,
but there are indications that they
concealed themselves in the build
ing before it was closed for the
night and then completed the Job
earlv In the night. Officers investi
gating the burglary c'juld find no
indications that the building had
been entered by forcing doors or
t windows.
The safe combination lock was
knocked off with a hammer and
entrance to the interior of the safe
eoniDleted bv driving out the lock
without the use of explosives. All
drawers and compartments in the
vault were rifled.
This is the third time in recent
months that the company's safe
has been cracked. Not much loot
was taken on the previous occasions.
While the police have clues to
Wednesday night's burglary they
are vague with considerable doubt
whether they will bring results. A
car with occupants whose conduct
was a bit unusual was seen arjoui
the building early In tne evening.

FUTURES HELD
AID TO MARKET
Ottawa IIP) The royal commis
sion on grain futures reported to
the house of commons Thursday
that dealing in grain futures is, on
the whole, beneficial to the farmer.
The commission, headed by Sir
Josiah Stamp, widely known Brit
ish economist, found that wmie tne
futures system aroused distrust and
suspicion in the minds of some
farmers. It really benefitted them
by furnishing insurance for hand
ling of their grain, provided an ever
ready and convenient means of
marketing, and was of distinct ad
vantage to the larmers in the prices
they received.
The commission was appointed
by parliament to report on the ef
fect dealing in grain futures has
upon the price, received by the
fanner. It began its work April 13
at Winnipeg, held sessions in Win
nipeg, Reglna, and Calgary and In
formal meetings in Minneapolis and
Chicago, and ended Its study In
New York April 28.
The report granted that dealings
in futures might encourage minor

WHEAT TO HIT
WORLD LEVEL
Washington UP) Chairman Stone
of the farm- board said Thursday
that domestic wheat prices even
tually would reach a world level
basis. He admitted he had no idea
when this readjustment as the re
sult of the withdrawal of govern
ment stabilization would occur.
One or two bright spots, such as
a crop failure In some country, he
said, would provide a stimulus for
a world price rise within the next
crop year.
The present tendency of domes
tic wheat, however, the chairman
said, probably would be downward
to establish proper differentials
with Liverpool prices to represent
the transportation costs in export
business. After this has been ac
complished. Stone believes that any
changes In wheat prices will be for
the better.
He said the new Canadian bounty
of five cents a bushel on wheat to
aid farmers would not place those
growers in a better competitive posi

of the longer freight hauls neces
