ator of the River Banks farm at
Grant Pass, succeeds Charles A.
Evans of Independence.
Archie A. Riekkola will be
the new vice president, and Har
ry A. Lindgren, Oregon State
college animal husbandry spe
cialist, was re-elected secretary
treasurer. At the same time, the associ
ation adopted a slate of 19 reso
lutions, including one calling for
passage of a general Oregon
sales tax with proceeds going to
help support public educational
institutions and thus lower real
and property taxes.
The much-debated sales tax
has been defeated by ballot five
times by Oregon voters, princi
pally because of the farmer op
position. One of the Livestock
association's past presidents, Al
bert Julian of Lyons, said he had
changed his stand to favor the
tax now because he noted that
74 percent of his property tax
went to school purposes.
Other resolutions passed in
cluded: 1. Indorsement of rigid meat
inspection as a safeguard to the
health of the general public with
a warning that meat inspection
should not be confused with
meat grading. The association
said it favored a voluntary sys
tem of meat grading.
2. Approved setting up a
clinical diagnostic laboratory in
Salem or Corvallis for the use
of local and county veteranar
ians and other men connected
with the livestock industry.
3. Asked that raccoons and
skunks be put on the predatory
animal list.
4. Urged the state game com
mission to study elk damage to
land in Clackamas county and
consider the issuance of game
tags for both .elk sexes in the
area in sufficient number to give
control of the animals. In ad
dition, the association asked
that the elk killed be turned ov
er to public educational institu
tions "so our tax bills might be
lowered."
The association is composed
of 14 western Oregon counties.
During the closing meeting,
the three storage barns for
sheep, beef, and hay were dedi
cated at the Oregon State col
lege experiment station.
Repeal of 6 Percent
Limitation Suggested
Portland, Feb. 2 (ff) A citi
zen's advisory committee on city
finances suggested last night
that Oregon cities work for re
peal of the constitutional 6 per
cent limitation on real estate
taxes.
That was one of the ways reC'
ommended for bolstering Pont
land's inadequate tax revenues.
The committee also proposed
city-county government consol
idation here for economy; net
income tax on business to re
place the newly enacted gross
receipts license ordinance; high
er water rates and use of the
revenue for general purposes.
The committee was named by
the mayor nine months ago.

From the Lighter Side
Of Th. Rr.fter' Dlt.it
I was waiting in a Launderette while my clothes were being
washed when an inebriated gentleman, evidently headed for the
cocktail lounge next door, flopped into the chair next to mine. He
stared for a long moment at the whirling, tumbling washing
through the machine's window with glassy-eyed fascination. Then,
blinking his eyes and shaking his head, he mumbled disgustedly
as he shuffled out: "Thish television ain't so hot."
A young college student remarked to his date. "That's 'Pink
Lightning' lipstick you're wearing, isn't it?"
Flattered that he should notice, the girl replied, "Why yes, but
how did you know?"
"Oh," he quipped, "I've been struck by it before!"
A 1949-model car driving down Hollywood Boulevard evi
dently belonged to a disgruntled owner. For boldly painted on
its side was the warning: "Watch out for flying parts."
