Quality of product, according to Mr. Morrison, Is the secret of potato pro fits. Ho pointed out that in earlier years little attention was given to po tato growing here and as a result quality suffered greatly.

Tho potato grower, he asserted, must pay attention to his crop and must sec to it that he produces a good potato, but If he docs that ho need have little i tear oi disposing oi nis crop ai a xair figure.

Validity Is Discussed. Supplementing his first communica tion, Mr. Fenton yesterday sent Rep resentative Gordon an argument as to the constitutionality of the public rev enue commission measure he proposes. Its constitutionality has been ques tioned in some quarters. Mr. Fenton supports his belief by quoting tbe opinion of tbe Oregon su preme court, handed down by Justice Harris, January 16, in tho case of Charles C. Rose, appellant, against the Port of Portland et al., respondents, and the Peninsula Lumber company and others, Interveners and respond ents. Doubt has been expressed as to whether the legislature could provide for tho levying of taxes by a public revenue commission if the power is vested in a city council, for example, through a charter, section 2, article XI of the state constitution providing that "the legislature assembly shall not enoctamend, or repeal any charter or act of Incorporation for any muni cipality, city or town."

Kiw Tork City The Making of a Town (Continued from page one) plcion and to overreaching proclivities. It could not have happened anywhere else than In a small community. Sometimes the strong man of the town Insists, through tho various agoncies of church, school board, and council, that hU vlows shall prevail. Thus tho spirit of thrift Is talked and urged by blm not so much for the welfare of tho community Individuals as that tenants may pay rents and debtors scttlo their obliga tions promptly. He favors the church so long as tho church main tains his doctrines. Ho favors tho school so long as tho teachtv proclaims theso ideas to his children. Ho favors tho town council so long as It Is Instructed to turn over contracts to thoso who aro ' big taxpayers and the consequent benefactors of tho community It is hard to get the man of theso Ideas to accept tho social concoot of a town's development, becnuso his Interest is centorod on him self and his own financial welfare. In this section of tho country where towns aro now In tho pro cess of development tho Inhabitants are frco from many of tho traditions of older places. Newcomers are young nnd arc rendv and willing to enter Into a spirit of cooperation. This condition is worth much In the building of n town. John nigelow of Massa chusetts declares that. "No people in town, village or city can bu really prosperous or happy without being brought togethor frequently to share common amusements 'and recreations and exchanges of opinion; it is such attractions that have contributed in a dogre-9 to make Paris. London Chfcago. New York and other famou cities. Harmony of thought and purpose and of action have pros pered many a city. "Know your city," Is the moUo of a new movement but recently sprung Into existence and now seen to Its best advantage in somo of our larger municipalities. .To know your town you must not only know Its strong points and assots, but you must know its weak points as well. It Is an attempt to clearly recognize tho prospect, the difficulties, and the evils that exist in a community and to get the social consciousness of the Inhabitants. Boston, Chicago anil San Francisco have at different times spent great sums of money for what they considered as assets In tho way of public buildings and Improvements, they studied how they might hotter tholr water systems and beautify their public parks. Everthing possible wus done to make these cities complete. These three great cities nnd their purposes might well servo as examples for smaller cities. There Is no roason why any com munity should not face its. future In black and white. Does Spring field have a"definlte plan of town building to work to? It is high time to be putting down on paper what It expects to accomplish In the form of schools, good streets, public parks, community building. At the sarno time It should seek tho deficiencies in police service! health regulations, proper nmuBements If thero be any. In order to get at theso problems a town survey should be mado to study all conditions. Such a survey may well begin with an examination of tho town's location, geographical and economic, to be followed by a careful study of conditions in many lines of social and economic activity. In our next Issue wo will publish plans for making n survey to gether with a survey outline. Classified Ads For Sale, Rent, Wanted, Etc. WANTED Man to cut wood and raise potatoes on shares call on W.
