Den Kan of TerwiBiger Blvd. Avoided PASSAGE OF BILL IS YiunoemiflN Enabling Act for Tunnel Long Sought by Local Residents. Helps De veloped Logged Lands. Salvm, Ore. Feb. 22 (Special) Monday night 11:80 P. M. the House passed S. B. No, 800 known as the . ,TgiT)el Bill. Two members spoke for """said bill. Rep. Gordon of Multnomah County, Btated: "S. B. 300 was a bill giving the people of Oregon the right to organize tunnel districts for the purpose of constructing tunnels within the state." Rep. Fisher, of Washington Coun ty, "Mr. Speaker. S. B. No. 800 is a measure which means much for the future welfare of Washington and Multnomah Counties. This measure if enacted will shorten the distance between Washington County points and Fontanel live miles, thereby cut ting the present carfare between Beaverton and Portland on-half, sav ing 40 cents on each round trip for every passenger not only from Bea verton but the whole Willamette Val ley. The four ner cent trade over Terwilliger Boulevard will be avoided and a practically level highway to the Tualatin valley established. This measure received a unanimous sup port of the House R, R. and Trans portation Committee, also the Bea verton Commercial Club. It is a good bill and should pass," The Washington County delega tion lined up votes all day for the tunnel. The Bill is now before Gov ernor Olcott. Representative Fisher brought home a number of copies of S. B. No. 900 for the Commercial Club. He says: "Since a boy I have been trav eling over that hill to Portland but soon the people of Waahingtoji.CoUBh ! ty are going under mnreil 'Crist ami A bill of nrach importance to local people passed the Senate last Thurs day, was reported out of committee in the House on Saturday with recom mendation that it pass and on Mon day night successfully passed the House. It is Senate Bill No. 800 and its purpose is to enable the people of any community to bond for the pur pose of constructing tunnels through intervening mountains and to bond for the purpose of clearing and improving logged-off lands. It has long been a dream of many residents of this locality that a tun nel through Council Crest would re duce the distance and eliminate the hill between Beaverton and -Portland. Time after time the matter has come up. Several years ago a bill was ac tually introduced onlv to be defeat ed by opposition from the Washing- con county oeieganon ana tne re sults have been marked bv bitterness of feeling between the proponents of tne Din and certain members of the Washington County delegation at that time. i The success of the present bill is due largely to the active Bupport of Senator Hare and Representatives risner, runt ana westcott COOPERATIVE BILL mm. io all New Law Will Inspire Producers te Organise for Better Service and Better Quality.

Neighbors were horrified when they saw Mrs. Younff with her baby , in her arms appear on the porch, her clothing enveloped in flames. The girl was burned in the house.

COMMUNITY POISONING SQUIRRELS SUCCESS OF Many farmers have learned by hard experience that fighting squir rels single-handed is an almost hope leas task. While it is possible for a man to clear his farm and Keep ia rea , sonably free from squirrels it requires quires constant and determined ef fort to do so. This is particularly true when there are farmers in the immediate neighborhood where little or no effort is made to keep them down. These farms serve as a breed ing grottnd and constantly renew the neighborhood squirrel population. Organised community squirrel campaigns are the only solution' of the problem. It is impossible to place too much emphasis on this fea ture of the squirrel business. A Iff- cal leader backed fay organized local sentiment can accomplish wonders. In many communities best results have been secured by naming a poi son day or poison week during which every one is pledged to -'horoughly poison the land under their control. ihis of course does not mean the Blacking of effort on the part of any one during the remainder of the poi soning season, but rather extra effort during this time.

Our legislative bodies meet, not to reduce taxes but to impose new bur dens on theeople, How much longer are the neonlA going to be able to pay the bills? - A prominent banker in Spokane writes: "There will certainly have to be a cut in taxes, otherwise th nitia and states will be holding nearly all uie reai estate. Who will nav the taxes then At. ready the tax burden is being paid by fewer and fewer persons due to the fact that ownership in taxable prop erty including land and securities of various kinds are being avoided in favor of tax-exempt municipal and government Donas, uur cost of gov ernment is rising out of all propor. tion to the earning power of our peo ple or the value of our property.

The effect oi this act will be far-reaching. It gives the Bmall farmer a new ray of hope. In the past the producer has been harassed by the speculator and gam bler in food products who created an unstable market. The farmers' re turns were always a matter of doubt. individual marketing provides for no uniform system of standardizing or grading. Products thus handled us ually bring a price based on the low est grade included in the lot. To the consumer umrraded nro- ducts are unsatisfactory, because they are not dependable. The aver age consumer willingly pays a fair price zor an article Known to be ox good quality and uniform. Producers have made innumber- able attempts to organize for the purpose of getting away from the present wastelul system, f ailures have often resulted from a lack of cohesiveness in the organisation while it is getting a start. Middle men and speculators have helped to disrupt thorn by spreading seeds of discontent and by baiting members and the association. Ic provides that heavy penalties may be prescribed in such contract for the breach thereof, With the dancer of disruption m- moved the producers' marketing as sociations will be able to pull through the trying times that come to all organizations before thevhave had time to show effective results by established brands of products. unce well established such organ izations will be able to reach out to the consumer and eliminate or reduce by a big margin the difference that I now often amountB to 50 to 100 per I cent of the price the producer gets. We now have several state-wide organizations that have been trying to establish themselves, such as the Oregon Growers' Co-operative Asso ciation, witn its "Mistiand" nrunes and other horticultural crops, the Pacific Co-operative Poultry Pro ducers with its "Nulode" eggs, the Oregon, Dairymen's Co-operative League with its "Melowest" butte ana cheese. Uwo other organiza tions are in the formative oroeess. the Co-operative Wool & Mohair Pro- aucers and the Oregon Wheat Grow ers' Association. Some ten veai ago Dr. Hector MacPherson, of the Bureau oi markets, at Uorvailis, was sent by the Federal Government to Europe to study country life condi tions. Being a marketing expert, he naturally recognred the importnee of co-operative marketing in the dai ly welfare of European workers. upon nis return lie drafted a bill which was enacted into law in 1913. This law was considered the most modern piece of legislation of its kind in force at that time. Since tnen much progress has been made along the lines of co-operative mar keting. More thought has been giv en the subject and newer ideas formed. ' Last fall Dr. McPherBon went to California and studied conditions where greater success had been at. tained along this line than in any umer pan oi tne unitea states. Up on his return he drew up certain amendments that he felt were vital I to the fullest development of a sys tem of marketing that brinm. nm. ducer and consumer closer to each other than the present system. All other advocates of the "back to the farm" movement have accom plished nothing. People will go back to the farm only when the profits that can be made there are sufficient to enable them to live under 1921 con ditions instead of I860 conditions, under which most rural populations now exist. Denmark, where co-operative mar keting has been encouraged and prac ticed for 40 vears. is the onlv nnHnn wu mtj itwe oi tne giooe wnere in the mac uecaae rural population has in creased at the exoense of th. nifia In all other countries the people have migrated from the farms to the cities, so that the food supply is ac tually threatened. Prosperity on the mrm means prosperity to all. The new co-operative marketing law safe guards the small producers and shortens the road from the producer iu .uie consumer. A W'ter fight was staged against this bill by the Nestles Food Co., the, uig fw,wutuuv ioreign corporation which has at all timed horni fWo. mined to disrupt marketing organi- z.wuiib aim insists upon dealing only with individuals. Their opposition availed them nothing, and, in fact, served only to cement the mamhois. of . the legislature together in favor oi tne om. The Bill passed the Sen ate With Onlv four dissenting vnfom LThe four voting against " it being name and Hosier of Multnomah County; Edwards of Tillamook Coun ty and Nickelsen of Hood River. It passed the House with four voting against it, namely, Allen of Lane County; Beals of Tillamook County; Burdick of Deschutes, and Hyatt ot Wallowa County; Their argument against the bill was that, if given too much encouragement and protec tion, farmers' organizations would grow into one big monoply, detrimen tal to society. There is a world of difference be tween a trust composed of producers who combine for the purpose of mar keting their own crops and a trust composed of a few speculators who combine for the purpose of corner ing a commodity for speculative pur pose. A producers' monopoly will never become a trust detrimental to socie ty. It Jb their business to continue producing.

A trust composed of men who buy and sell is not inter ested in future production, seeking only to profit by that which is under its control. It squeezes the public for the last dollar regardless of the future welfare of either producer or consumer.

UNION HIGH SCHOOL CLUB IS OJKJAN1ZED On Thursday evening of last week a meeting was held at the High School in this city for the nurnose of discussing the Union High School situation, It appears that a number of outside districts have been re questing that Forest Grove take some action relative to again sub mitting the question of voting on a Union High School for the contigu ous territory of Foreat Grove com prising some fifteen or sixteen dis tricts. t It will bo remembered that tho proposition was defeated by a very small margin at an election held some time ago. After an elaborate banquet served by students at the High School the question was discussed at some length and it was decided to organize a Union High School Club vhose business it would be 4o kwp'tnoueh with the feelings of the public and promote the enterprise, and at the proper time submit the question to the voters, All the districts inter ested were represented except two. The sentiment of the meeting seemed to be that this was not the right time to submit the question. roNst urove News-Times. One hundred fifty men, members of the A. F. and A.

ADAMS GETS BERTH AS STAN FIELD'S SECRETARY When United States Senator-elect ntanfield leaves for Washington with in the next fortnight he will be companied by E. J. Adams, of Eu gene, who has accepted the appoint ment as secretary to Oregon's new member of the upper house. An nouncement of this choice, made by Senator-elect Stanfield. sets at rest all rumors as to the probable identi ty of his secretary none of which ho ever discussed with Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams came to Oregon from Michigan in 1911 and has since hewn identified with constructive nuhiic effort, particularly highway building. He was a strong advocate of the first bond issue for roads In 1917, and a member of the first state highway commission operating under the nres ent Bystem. Mr. Adams Bract ced law for 1R years in Michigan and Washington, and holds certificates to oracticfc in all courts of those states, as well as in the United States lunremn mnrr In Michigan he served in many, offi cial capacities, was elected to the state legislation in 1897 and upon re-, election in 1889 was chosen siuukAr ui vue iiuubb.

So I am going to Washington with him to help him get for the state those tnings that will go far to ward developing our wonderful re sources. "I find myself in hearty accord with his position upon matters re lating to the welfare of Oregon, and I anticipate a very pleasant relation ship as his secretary."

But after being aban doned by its ownor it became from time to time a refuge for homeless organization, short lived industries, such as ivi) cream parlors, dress mak ing establishments, etc. and various families who found themselves tem porarily stranded until getting per manently located. It wilt also be remembered that tho embryo meeting of what was later destined to bo the Hubor Com mercial Club was held In this build ing, with such illustrious men in at tendance as George Wellington Wadsworth, Benjamin Franklin Lin dorman, Colonel J.
