LOCAL MERCHANTS The Times has, at various times, printed articles calling upon local people to patronize local merchants ss against the mail order houses.

Public officers whose color and really unfit for use. duties relate to the assessment or Montgomery Ward & Co. can Eualization of assessments of handle that class of goods. They buy ( property for taxation who fail to in quantities and sell in quantities comply with the provisions of the daily, so their cocoa has no chance j act or with any order of the tax coin to deteriorate. We do not print mission may be hailed into the cir this as an argument, but to show the ' cuit court, which may compel them difference in quality of goods and the profit made by the mail order houses.

Each state's failures are indexed and those for California stand second, with New York first, in the unmbcr of commercial fail ares for the year. New York had 3,215 while the Golden State it credited with 1,641. Oregon had COS such while our sister state to the north, Washington, had only 483 failures during the year.

It is they who contrib-j doing and wherein they pay as much, and oftimes more, for the same class of goods by sending away for them. Whether our efforts have borne fruit or have been wast ed we have no means of learning. At any rate we have shown that we are with the local merchants. Last week we received a letter from a Shaniko' reader in which he said he read read our article regard ing home trading, and asks whether we' thought the fruit was with the buyer only. He cited the case of 6ne farmer who was charged 90c for a pound of shredded cocoa and who obtained three pounds of the same commodity from Montgomery Ward & Co., paying but 76 cents for same. He claims he paid two cents for money order and nine cents for parcel post charges. He must have paid at least five cents for the money order, and this, added to the parcel post and origi nal cost of the cocoa, brought up the total of 92 cents. We made inquiry of our mer chants, looked over price lists and compared prices. We found that the lowest priced cocoa mentioned was "Long Ceylon Thread," which was listed at 15 cents a pound. This was bulk cocoa.

This bill gives to the state tax commission supervisory control over the assessment and tax laws of the state, county assessors and county boards of eualization, and was rccommened by the tax inves tigation committee appointed under authority of the legislature of 1925. Uuder the terms of the act the state tax commission has authority to fix valuations of all property in the state. The avowed purpose of the measure is to secure uniformity of assessments. That there is teeth in the law is evidenced by the examination of its provisions.
