Harlcy Libby, a native ot Mar
lon County, was elected president
of the Oregon State Farmers
Union at the final session of the
convention in Salem' last Satur
day. Libby, who operates a farm at
Jefferson, served as president of
the Union in 193940 and is a
member of the Marion county
Durtgct committee.
Luther Itoush, a World War II
veteran who has a general farm
near Molalla, was selected as vice
president.
Just prior to the election the
candidacies, of Libby and Roush
were sponsored in a mimeo
graphed sheet titled "Committee
to Expand the Farmers Union in
Oregon" which was distributed
on the floor of the assembly. Del
egates quickly demonstrated the
correctness of a Secretary Bran
nan statement that "the Farmers
Union is the most militant farm
organization in this country," by
demanding to know who had ap
pointed the committee, who the
members were, identity of the
chairman and challenging the
propriety of distributing the
sheet.
President Richard Moeller
slated that he had not annotated
the committee and did know its
membership but had in his pos
session a copy ol the committee
meeting notice over signature of
John Shcphard of Aumsville. He
requested an explanation from
Shcphard.
In Shephard's absence Arthur
Bone, editor ot the Oregon Farm
ers Union newspaper, stated that
the committee was formed and
meeting called because 1. Decline
in membership of the organiza
tion. 2. Loss of prestige of the
Oregon Farmers Union in Oregon.
3. Hans for expansion of the Un
ion. 1

ORBOON STATF. BOARD OF
HlGHF.lt EDUCATION. -By
John R. Richards.
Secretary, Eugene, Oregon.
It was felt, Bone said, that day-to-day
direction of the organiza
tion's activities was needed and
the employment of an executive
secretary had been discussed.
Bone stated that activities of the
committee had been widely
known amonj the membership
for six weeks prior to the con
vention. The final score for president
was Libby 63, Moeller, 15. For
vice president results were
Uoush 42, Roy Rutschman, Cen
tral Howell, 37. For members of
the board of directors, Moeller
and Eldon Emerson of The Dal
les were elected, defeating com
mittee candidates Howard Snod
grass of Linn county and Joe
Bernt, Mt. Angel.
The convention took note of a
complaint from Clackamas coun
ty under which farmers pay 69
per cent of school tax in a sit
uation complicated by large fed
eral housing projects. A resolu
tion was passed recommending
that if a city or county collects
rent from residential property,
40 per cent of the tax be re-paid
to the school district.
A resolution was passed re
questing that assessed land val
ues in Oregon be set at 1946 val
ues until the whole state has been
covered by the new tax equaliza
tion program.
Quickly defeated was a reso
lution stating that when the as
sessed valuation request for low
ering is not acted upon within six
months, the county arthoritics
should sell the property in ques
tion at the assessed value.
The Federal Homes Admini
stration was requested to extend
small acreage loans made in 1946
by another resolution. This was
aimed at relief for veterans in
the Madras area who have been
caught in falling price squeeze
and are finding it difficult to
meet payments.
Income tax authorities were re
quested to remove the order
which makes co-operative divi
dend certificates liable for tax in
the year in which they are issued.
Delegates felt it was unfair to
pay tax on certificates which oft
en are made out several years in
advance of actual payment.
The convention re-affirmed its
traditional favor of support for
farm commodities, asked that
dairy parities be reflected by
faiaicr level values and ex
pressed opposition to sliding
scale supports.
Eldon Beutler of Salem was
named president of the junior
group in a Saturday evening pro
gram. Beutler, Elizabeth Kraut
schcld, Bcavcrton; Clco Olson,
Canny; and Carolyn Whittington,
Salem, were presented with

Swing Authority and
Funny Man Coming
Henry L. Scott, described as "an
outstanding authority on swing and
America's first concert humorist,"
will be presented at the Leslie Jun
ior High School auditorium the
night of February 23 under the
sponsorship of the Salem Y's Men's
club.
Scott is said to take the same
serious attitude toward his inter
pretation of American popular
music as he does in his presenta
tion of the classics. His first piano
teacher, Philip Dcdrick, played for
tne movies on Saturday nights in
the old silent days, and pipe organ
on Mintlnys.
Scott was allowed to study pop
ular music along with his rigid
classical prepara'ion, giving him
an insight regarding intricate and
exacting rhythms, while his classi
cal background acted as the bal
ance wheel of his work.
Tickets may be secured from
Stevens and Son, the YMCA or
from any Y's Men's club member.
