THE PRESS, ATHENA, OREGON, NOVEMBER 7; 1W DATE CHOSEN FOR THE LEAGUE MEET Wheat Growers To Gather for Big Annual Confer ence in?Heppner,v ;.; Oregon State College. Wheat growers of the Columbia basin will gather at Heppner, December 11 to 13 for their annual session of the East ern Oregon Wheat League, according to announcement by John Withy combe, Arlington, president of the league.- ' A wheat authority in great demand throughout the country has been bill ed for the session in the person of Dr. M. L. Wilson, head of the eco nomics department at Montana State college who recently returned from a year's study of the wheat situation in Russia. He will give an illus trated lecture on this subject which is said to contain more information than can be had through months of reading. : Dr. Wilson will also give his views on the subject of reduction of wheat acreage, , a subject very much in the public eye just now as a result of the policies of the federal farm board. He will tell where and how such re duction may be expected to take place and what effect it will likely to have on wheat prices. . The annual meeting of the Wheat league has been attracting increas ing state-wide attention from year to year as representing the sentiments of representatives of one of the state's leading "industries. Hereto fore the meetings have always been held early in the new year and in variably were handicapped by ex treme cold weather. Railway Conductors Are Fighting the Stage Lines Klamath Falls, Klamath Falls railway conductors are out to help the railroads fight the truck freight lines and as an opening gun in the cam paign Crater Lake lodge No. 133, Order of Railway Conductors, has passed a resolution asking merchants to ship and receive goods only by rail freight. 'The resolution points out that the conductors and other train men have purchased homes here, spend their . money here and deserve the co-operation of the merchants in combatting the truck lines. The members of the union will con fer with merchants of the city, in an effort to obtain the aid of these busi ness men in stopping the steadily in creasing number of jobless trainmen, laid off by the railroads because of lack of traffic.

Enactment of a constitutional state intangibles tax law. including a retro active clause, at a special session of the Oregon legislature prior to Jan uary 1, is the only way m which the state can save the million dollars al ready paid under the unconstitutional act and at the same time protect the financial structure of the state. This was announced by Governor Norblad, who has conducted a care ful study of the various phases of the intangibles tax law and the effect of the supreme court s opinion on the financial - condition of the state. The previous state intangibles tax law. which was enacted at the 1929 legislature, recently was declared un constitutional, by the state supreme court on the grounds that it was dis criminatory in that it applied only to individuals and not to corporations. Norblad said that at the time the suits were filed attacking the consti tutionality of the state intangibles tax law and state tax commission is sued a number of statements urging the people to pay the tax with the understanding that the money would be refunded in event the law was de clared unconstitutional The records show that approximately $1,000,000 was collected. " One statement issued by the state tax commission under date of Febru ary 21, 1930, read: "Intangibles taxpayers, in order to protect themselves against heavy pen alties and interest in case the law is sustained, should ' file their returns and pay their tax within the time re quired by law. "If, by any chance, the intangibles tax law should be declared invalid, "it will not be the attitude of the com mission to retain any money which the court may determine was collect ed illegally.'' Another statement issued by the state tax commission under date of February 21 read in part: . "In event the courts should find certain clauses of the intangibles tax law unconstitutional, the commission would refund taxes collected under these clauses." Under date of March 1 the state tax commission issued another statement, which read in part: . "The tax commission has announced that in case the intangibles tax law is held unconstitutional, all taxes will be refunded." - Inferences also were made by the tax commission that the money col lected under the intangibles tax law would be kept in a separate fund un til such time as the supreme court had handed down its opinion. "It has now developed," said Gover nor Norblad, "that the money collect ed can be repaid only through a legis lative enactment. There is no doubt but that the money was collected il legally, and the state is . morally bound to refund it. The records show that approximately 20,000 taxpayers were affected by the law." : Norblad pointed, out that the suit did not ask for a refund of the taxes collected, and that none of the plain tiffs in the suits paid any tax under the act. As a result of this, the su preme court did not specificially set out in its opinion that the money should be refunded. Norblad declared that real property already was over burdened with taxes', and that it would not be fair to make up the de ficit of a million dollars through an additional levy of that amount on property. ' Governor Norblad said that a study of the laws had convinced him that it would not be legal to enact a retro active' tax statute except in case the valid law was. enacted during ' the same year that the invalid statute was declared unconstitutional. "This means," said Governor Nor blad, "that in case it is desired to. en act a constitutional intangibles'' tax law and save to the state the million dollars already paid, it would be nec essary to pass such valid law hefore January 1 of next year. This would necessitate a special 'session of the legislature", . Mrs. Lillian Downs Dobson was in Athena Saturday, from her school at South Yoakum. ' Mrs. Dobson "was driving a new Studebaker ear, which she has recently purchased. : ' High School Notes ; Editorial ' h (Mildred Hansell) ; In the W. S. C.-O. A. C. football game last Saturday at Portland, there was one break after another. The teams were so evenly matched that the game would probably have been a tie if it had not been for a lucky break for W. S. C. No scores would have been made if they had not known how to take advantage of the breaks. . People are much like this game. They may have many opportunities to do things, but if they don't take ad vantage of these they don't help themselves much. Some people call a streak of luck a break. But opportunities are really breaks, so if one takes advantage of opportunities they really have luck. If everyone would take advantage of the opportunities he could "buck the line" for a lot of "yardage." Music " The following ar the members of the Glee Club: sopranos'," Marjorie Montague, .
