LEGISLATIVE FREE LARGE!
Salem, Ore.. March 3. A rancher
took his little boy up to show hiui
the legislature. The chaplain was
ofa'.'.!- p.iyer an J t!e boy asked
his father why he did that. Tim
' father said.- he took one look at the
members and then docid.d .it wa.,
time to pray. There is usual feeling
.of relief that the session Is over and
hope expressed tint it may never
happen again. While there is cause
for complaint, many constructive
acts are cited to their credit. "
! Two thing.-' done that will be most
kicked at are the automobile tax
and dog tax. House and Senate
! compromised at last minute before
j adjourning, and -result was about
; doubling gascar income, raising it to
j $400,000, tMs including a county
I property tivX i f ''a 'per cent to be
added on each license fee, which is
doubled to begin with. Then there
is a cent a gallon added on gasoline.
, That went into effect Friday and

when oif his own premises. No one
admits bavins seen the bill at any
stage of its passage. Until the law
is published no ens will know what
rights their dogs have in this world.
It has no emergency clause but if
anyone took trouble to refer.it to a
vote of the people it would be voted
down. It is admitted by revenue
officers that the tax cannot be col
lected and the law cannut be en
forced a.id as a measure to encourage
slitfp industry it will be a dismal
failure. It will be simply chats in
the hunting season.
The light over creating office of
Lieutenant Governor lasted until the
last minute of session, the Housa
trying to recall it after it was agreed
to. It goes to vote June 3, along
with grist of bonding bills. Before
adjourning Senator Pierce rushed
through his one mill road tax levy
that will add over a million dollars
to road funds, This is besides ten
million bond issue, Roosevelt five
million bond issue, $300,000 a year
from gasoline and distilate, and Eddy
bills of five million bonds for recon
struction plans. With war taxes,
other state,. county and local taxes,
there will be some taxes to pay.
While Governor Withycombe has
been confined to his home during
i'iu ii the closing days of the ses
sion, he has been able to attend to
all the important duties of his office
and sign all bills and acts of the
legislation requiring his attention. If
the constitutional amendment creat
ing the office of Lieutenant Govornor
is ratified by the people is June he
will appoint a Republican to that
office, while at present the succession
devolves on the. Secretary of State
who fills both offices in such an
emergency.
l'lie :j.d curtesy and dower law has
been restored after trying plan en
acted in 1917 of allowing survivor of
a marriage the right to elect within
one year to take one-third the prop

under curtesy or dower. For fifteen
years the grange demanded change
made in 1917, but some people- now
demanded that state go back to old
law. It simply shows people do not
always know what they want or that
what they do want is good for them.
In debate over oleomargarine law
State Federation of Labor and
Grange parted company. State
Grange Master Spence was on the
floor lobbying for a prohibitive tax on
oleomargarine or substitutes fur but
ter In Interest of Btate dairymen. Rep.
Smith and Hor'ne of state Labor dele
gation were on other side of rail
lighting the bill tooth and nail as a
bill to deprive poor people from buy
ing harmless substitutes for high
priced butter. They pulled all the
teeth out of the bill and the price of
butter that had gone up ten cents a
pound In a week will probably begin
to go down again now that retailers
can sell oleo as of yore. A heavy tax
was imposed on manufacturer and
jobber that the consumer will have
to pay.
The big constructive fight of the
session vas made by Hop. Smith of

and Jay Upton of Prineville and II.
W. Gard of Madras of third house for
new self-executing amendment to
Constitution to create and finance ir

Its importance, just one district unit
in Jefferson coumy of 100,000 acres
of land will be changed in value
from $10 an acre to $150 an acre.
The difference between water and no
water is shown by the Madras dis

shipping to Portland 879,000 bushels
of wheat and in 1917 when it did
not rain much they shipped out only

Record Systems to Be Installed by
Collejto Poultry Department on
Demonstration Farms.
ft
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, March 1. Farm poultry pays,
and the poultry department has plan
ned to establish a system of records
on poultry demonstration farms in
Oregon to obtain accurate statistics
on farm poultry incomes.
The second highest income on
Ohio farms is from poultry, accord
ing to figures compiled by the federal
department of agriculture from a
recent survey of 25 representative
farms. Nearly half of these farms
realized more than $200 from poul
try and eggs, and the general average
was $169. "This was accomplished
without serious interference with
other farm operations," says the re
nnrt. Yet the hens were weak
! layers, averaging 86 eggs a year,
j and prices were low ranging from
16 to 38 cents a dozen.
I Aside from leading livestock re
