THE SPECIAL ELECTION
The last legislature put it up to the people to vote
for a tax levy so the money that the state had already
accumulated, could be used. The people voted the
money at past elections, and they had to vote again to
spend it for the purpose on the measure—state build
ings.
The measure says it is a 10 mill tax levy. The bill
was drawn to make the money now on hand available.
THERE WILL BE NO 10 MILL TAX COLLECTED
The money is already collected. It’s a peculiar situa
tion when the money is already in the bank to have to
assume another tax—but that is the way the attorney
general said it had to be done—so that is why it is on
the ballot as a tax measure.
We want the voters in the valley to understand
that they will NOT PAY the tax, for the tax has al
ready been collected. Every voter should mark an X
voting FOR the first measure on the ballot.
The next measure is the cigaret tax bill. This is
a 2 cents per ¡jack tax on every package of cigarets
sold. The money would be used for the public school
fund throughout the state. If you smoke a package
of cigarets a day, you would be paying 2 cents per day
towards the public schools. If you think that is all
right, vote for the measure, if you don’t, vote against
it. It’s a good cause, but we have our doubts about it
passing.
Then on the same ballot will be the measure to
adopt the county school law, and also to vote to allow
Grants Pass school district to become a part of the
county school law. This is necessary because the
Grants Pass schools are in an incorporated city and
the citizens must vote to make them a part of the
county school law.
Lester Wilcox, legal advisor for the state school
board, says this is a good law if it is properly admin
istered. In other words if the board that the county
court will appoint to begin the new change (after
wards the people will elect the board) will spend the
money to employ a good superintendent, the county
school law would help improve all the schools in the
county. If the board failed to employ a good man, it
would do the schools no good.
We have an exceptionally good school system in
the valley now, and many are hesitant in changing to
something they do not know about, or is a chance.
However, if you take the advice from those who know,
it is a step in the right direction. We do not presume
to advise what you should do with your schools. You
should know what you want to do. Use your own
judgment, and then your conscience will be clear.
There is only one thing we will ask you to do—
COME OUT AND VOTE AT THE SPECIAL ELEC
TION, FRIDAY. JUNE 22nd—that’s today—the day
you get this paper. It is printed Thursday, but you
receive it Friday in the valley. Today is the election
day. The polls are open from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m. DO
YOUR DUTY AND VOTE.
Hints on Canning
With Little Sugar
In using corn syrup to stretch
•ugar in innning fruit, different
ploportions give the best icsults
for different kinds of fruit ac
cording to recent research curried
on in another state and just re
ported in a new home economies
extension circular, “Saving Sugai
in Food Preservation."
This circular, prepaied by Lucy
A Case, extension nutritionist,
and Thomas On«dorff, associate
professor of food industries, con
tained tables for guidance in the
use of both corn syrup and honey
in stretching «ugar and a fairly
complete discussion of ways to ob
tain the maximum quantities of
canned fruit with smaller amount«
of sugar.
Dark corn syrup, as well a« the
more popular light kind, may be
used successfully in canning for
all of the common fruits except
pears, the circular Mates. In mak

canning, neither the light nor dark
corn syrup is recommended with
cherries, although either «um be

COUNTY AGENT SAYS
CLIP PERMANENT PASTURES
Farmers will find it profitable
to clip permanent pastures at thi
time of the year where the grass
has become tall and patchy, sug
gests J. F. Svinth county agri
cultural agent.
Recent heavy
rains have allowed the grass and
weeds to grow faster than stock
have been able to eat down. Con
sequently, the pasture has become
patchy and coarse, resulting in
loss of succulent feed. Clipping
will remove the coarse grass and
allow new growth to take its
place and in return provide more
pasture.
Rotating the pastures during
the grazing period will also in
crease the amount and quality of
pastures. This is rione by moving
the stock from one field to an
other, allowing them on one field
for only a short interval and al
lowing the other portions of the
pasture to grow. Maximum pro-
duction is obtained when pastui'
grasses can be kept at height of
about 4 to 5 inches.
