IX REGARD TO VOTING SCHOOL
' TAX "
I-I-I"1-I"I"I-M"I I M-I-H-I-M-
Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte has re
ceived the following letter from J.
A. Churchill regarding the levying
of school taxes wHh which was en
closed an opinion from the attorney
general. The opinion is on file in
Mrs. Shurte's office where anyone
interested may see it:
To the County Superintendpnt:
Am enclosing herewith an opinion
of the Attorney General relative to
the voting of taxes in districts of the
third class.
We have been relying on Section
11,. Chapter 208, General Laws of
Oregon, 1921, to substantiate our
contention that the law did not ap
ply to districts of the second and
third classes where the people vote
taxes.
However, this opinion shows clear
ly that all school district boards
must submit their budgets to the tax
Supervising and Conservation Com
mission. I Very truly yours,
'; J. A. CHURCHILL,
Supt. Public Instruction.
According to the opinion, districts
of the third class must receive an
order from the tax commission, be
fore voting their budget, and to be
on the safe side, according to opin
ion of the attorney general, that the
tax when finally levied by a school
district of the third class should be
voted by the legal voters of the dis
trict, but all they can do is to vote
the levy as contained in the order of
the commission, and if the district,
for any reason, fails to make such
levy, then the commission will make
the' same.

motors in six days less than six
months.
Production at the start of that
period was around 4,800 motors per
day and on the increasing schedule
in effect since has been brought up
to more than 7,000. The average
for the period was slightly above 6,
711 a day for the 147 working days,
or an average of more than 166,670
a month.
Under its greatly Increased manu
facturing capacity the company was
able to manufacture the last million
motors in two months less time than
the previous million. Motor No. 7,
000,000 was produced eight months
after tho 6,000,000 mtor passed off
the assembly line which yas on May
18th, 1922, and nearly a year before
that date, May28th, 1921, tho 5,000,
00th motor was turned out.
It was in 1915 when Ford motor
No. 1,000,000 was produced and un
der the steadily growing demand for
Ford cars and trucks production has
been mounting yearly and maintain
ing an annual output approximating
that of all other automobiles manu
facturers combined.
MARKET AGENT DEPARTMENT.
(C E. Spence, Market Agent)
Grading and labeling of potatoes
under state law seems probable for
Oregon in the near future The laat
legislature passed an act authoriz
ing the governor to appoint a com
mittee to investigate the matter of
compulsory grading and marketing.
This committee was appointed, and
after an investigation, on July 23,
reported that its Judgment was that
such inspection and grading would
be of much benefit to growers, and
the committee recommended that the
governor, by proclamation, should
order such grading and marketing
on and after September 15, 1923.
The recommendations are that all
potatoes sold shall conform to the
standard of the United States grades,
that all potatoes in lots of 50 poun'ls
or more shall be labeled on the con
tainer in letters one and a half
inches high tho name and address of
the grower; the grade and variety;
that certified seed shall bear the of
ficial seal or tag of the Oregon Agri
cultural College; that all potatoes
sold that do not conform to the U.
S. standard grades shall be labeled
"culls;" that all containers shall be
uniform and that those shipped in
lots of 10 tons or more shall be In
spected by the state inspection de
partment according to rules and reg
ulations to be made by the state
market agent.
Standardization of potatoes in Ore
gon will be a great aid to the Indus
try. The lack of such regulation Is
one of the causes of poor markets
and dissatisfaction among growers.
Grading and labeling of all products
is rapidly spreading over all states.
With tho harvest of wheatunder
wa y, the price has steadily fallen
until it's now below the cost of pro
duction. A United States senator
states that it costs $1.36 to raise
wheat in Kansas, for which the rais
ers will get from 70 to 80 cents a
bushel. Oregon has a great harvest
under way, but the price outlook Is
very gloomy. The movement for a
national wheat marketing associa
tion is said to be growing fast in all
wheat growing states and the one
hope for permanent markets and liv
ing profits for growers. An emer
gency movement to hold back a quar
ter million bushels of this season's
wheat is under way in tho middle
states.
The loss to berry growers in the
Willametto valley will aggregate
millions of dollars this season, so
state the g rowers, because of no
markets, the high price of sugar and
lack of general sales agency to con
trol tho output. William Uentley, a
grower of Hubbard, says Marion
county alone will lose $1,000,000
and that tons of choice fruit will
never be picked. There is family de
mand in Portland and tho smaller
cities for all the fruit produced In
Oregon, if a distributing system could
carry the fruit to the homes at a
price the homes would pay.
One of the duties of the state
market agent, as required by law, is
that he shall act' as arbitrator in
case of dispute and differences be
tween parties, when requested. While
this Is not a pleasant task, many
times differences between shippers
and buyers can be satisfactorily ad
justed by getting the parties together
and the cost of litigation saved. The
market agent will be glad to offi
ciate along this line at any time
when requested.
L. A. Hunt, manager of the state
Haygrowers association, states that
47 of the hay sold through the as
sociation last season was sold direct
to the retailers and feeders, thus
eliminating the broker and specula
tor middle profits. This Is. one of
the strong features of co-operative
selling agencies. A movement is now
being worked out to enlarge the as
sociation to embrace Washington
and Idaho under a marketing agree
ment that 75 of the alfalfa acreage
shall be contracted before the con
tracts shall be In force. If this can
bo accomplished there will be a
strong association for the northwest
which should be able to control the
market.
