V The Sherman County Observer, Moro, Oregon, Friday, February 6, 1931 L review of wore of oreooihbisutore Ontfon State Grange S?ew* Service January 26. 1931 F ir» » P o w tx S lu rm ia k i ® , a -T..* The first legislative skirmish over the administration power bills was the bearing on aehate MU 10. providing for the repeal of the Certificate of Necessity and Convenience Act. Sen ator Brown, chairman of the utilities committee of the upper house, pre sided. W. A. Currin of the BprtlaM Traffic and Transportation^Xieoci»- tion, an organization for jggmoting the welfare of motor lines,4 was the first to oppose the hill stating that his company would introduce another bill which might suffer from the passage of the repeal measure. H .’ objected to repeal on the ground that it might result in big companies absorbing small ones. W. B. Adams of the Portland In- dustrial Traffic Club stated that motor carrier* naturally are monopolistic, that there are evils under the present system, but that only more stringent regulation is needed to cure them. Charles E, Wells, of the Inde pendent Telephone Contpany, Hills boro, expressed fear that the Bell system might gobble up independents if the reppeal bill passes. A short snappy debate ensued when Repre sentative Tompkins intimated that the speaker who represents twenty-eight x independent lines, buys up small companies with the intent to sell them to the big companies. J. H. Woodcock of Maupin observ ed that big utility companies are us ually interlocked and do not compete ~ with one another. He endorsed the present Public S en -ice «Commission and referred to the proposed utility commissioner as “Czar.” He express ed fears of monopoly resulting from the passage of senate bill 10, although other speakers feared competition from the same source. It should be remembered in consid ering power legislation that there are four different power measures now before the solons, which are inter dependent and which take into con sideration most of the questions which are treated as controversial by the opponents of these measure«. B e tto r Standard« B ill Proposed Standards and grades for butter is be object of a hill fathered by Sen ator Joe Dunne. The proposed meas ure provides that: This proposed measure provides L that. (1) The standards for creamery butter manufactured or sold in the state of Oregon shall be as follows a. F irst grade m ust score 92 points or more. b. Second grade must score 90 points or more, up to 92 points. e. Third grade must score 88 points or more up to 90 points. d. Fourth grade butter scores be low 88 points and is made free from all cream treated with mechanical or chemical means to change its flavor, texture or age. (2) All butter manufactured or sold in the state of Oregon shall be graded upon a possible 100 points thus: a. Flavor, 45. b. Body and texture, 25. e. Color, 15. d. Salt, 10. , ____ «. Package, 5. (3 ) “First grade” butter shah be clean, sweet, creamy and possess * no off-flavor* A b. “Second grade” butter shall be clean aad sweet but may be lacking somewhat in rich, creamy flavor. e. “Third grade” butter has slightly objectionable flavor. d. “Fourth grade” butter possesses off-flavors or is unclean or rancid and made from cream treated with me chanical or chemical means to change its flavor, texture or age. Under this proposed act it is made unlawful to manufacture, sell or offer to sell creamery butter ' without properly grading and labeling the same. For violation of the terms of this proposed law s penalty of either or both fine and imprisonment is pro dded. Agents or managing officers of firms are also subject to the same penalties as are the principals, for violation of this law. , Enforcement is made the duty of the dairy and food commissioner. W o«ld Baa Oleotnar gariae „ A bill introduced by Senator Dunne of Multnomah county provide* that no oleomargarine or substitute for butter shall be bought or used by the state institutions of Oregon. Last year the amount of butter substitutes used in these institutions was 64,000 pounds.

Senator Woodward declared that Drilling was resumed at the Clarno Basin Oil company’s well southeast o i Antelope Jahuary* 29, with two crews to be on duty for continued operations. The well has now reach ed, a deptn of 2265 feet and»i* carry ing a 7-inch casing. When drilling operations ceased, the well was bot tomed in brown diatomaceous shale. On the last previous day of drilling, black sulphur was found in the cut tings and henceforth, a pan will be on hand to take samples and make close observations of the strata. Weather permitting, the work will be, pushed to make an early determina tion of the presence of oil-bearing strata. It was declared today that no detri mental factors have been found to discourage drilling, while many favor able geological conditions have been found to cause a continuation of work on this basis. J. D. Everett of Marys ville, Tenn., an experienced produc tion man, is in charge and is capable of handling production if oil is en countered. On board Steamship President Fillmore.
