Opinion of Secretary

ways Called For.
DECISION IMPORTANT
Branch Differentials Eliminated; Re
fund to Mount to Several Hun
dred Thousand Dolars.
A uniform rate scale within the
state of .Oregon on agricultural prod
ucts with elimination of branch line
differentials is called for by an order
of the Public Servtee commission sus
tained by the supreme court this
week. Farmers in this section have
been interested in such an order.
Full significance of the action of
the supreme court is contained in the
statement of H. H. Corey, dated Feb
ruary 1. The statement follows:
"The decision of the Oregon Su
preme Court handed down Tuesday in
the case of the Oregon-Washington
Railroad and Navigation Company vs.
II. H. Corey and others, brings to a
termination the most important legal
proceeding involving rates on grain
hay and other agricultural products
in the history of the state. This pro
ceeding was instituted by the Oregon
Public Service Commission on Janu
ary 11, 1923, and involves the rates
on grain, grain products, potatoes
and onions, and other farm products
on the lines of all of the major car
riers serving the state. Hearings ex
tending over a period of several weeks
were held before the state commission
which entered an order prescribing
uniform rate scales to be applicable
throughout the entire state in lieu
of the numerous schedules of rates
which had theretofore been in effect.
In addition to resulting in reduction
of rates generally throughout Oregon,
the order had the effect of eliminat
ing numerous branch line diffrentials
and excessive combinations of local
rates which had previously applied
on shipments from Eastern Oregon
points to points in the Willamette
Valley, and estimates have been made
as to the amount of reduction re
sulting from this order which was en
tered by the Commission on August
29, 1924. It was claimed by traffic
officials of the Southern Pacific com
pany that the reduction would vary
from 10 to 27 per cent on single line
hauls, and on certain joint line hauls
as high as 60 to 60 per cent.
"Probably the most important re
sult of the order of the Commission
is that it will permit a more free
movment of these basic agricultural
commodities between Estcrn Oregon
points and Willamette Valley points,
thus permitting the Eastern Oregon
producer of hay and grain to find a
market among the Western Oregon
dairymen and millers to the advan
tage of both.
"The case had been somewhat com
plicated by reason of the fact that al
though the new rates have been in ef
fect on hay and straw since the is
suance of the Commission's order a
temporary injunction was granted in
the lower court on the application of
the rates on the remaining commod
ities and a bond posted by the car
riers to guarantee a refund of all
charges paid since January, 1924, in
excess of those ultimately found to
be reasonable. It is estimated that
the refund to shippers of grain, grain
products, potatoes and onions will,
under this decision, amount to several
hundred thousand dollars."
Electric Company to Ask
City for Franchise
Messrs. G. C. Sawyer and G. L.
Corey, representing the Sherman El
ectric company, are here today to
present an application to the city
council for a 60-year franchise for
the carrying on of their buiine&
within the city limits. All papers in
this matter have been prepared and
will be presented to the city council
on Monday night for their action.
These gentlemen state that the
work of construction si proceeding in
this section from DeMoss Springs in
Sherman county. The line comes io
Hoppner via Condon, and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible. It
may be late summer before the new
powr line gets here, but they nope
to beat that time and have their con
nections in the forepart of the .sum
mer season. They are working ahead
of the construction on right of way
and franchises and these matters
take time to put through.
Hughes Buy Bergstrom
Store at Roseburg, Ore.
Sam and Hanson Hughes, who re
cently sold their grocery store in
Heppner, have bought the store of
John Bergstrom at Koseburg. This
word was received here today.
Mr. Bergstrom farmed on Eight
Mile until his departure for Roseburg
last winter where he engaged in the
grocery business. He took over the
Hanson Hughes city property in the
deal and it is understood he and Mrs.
Bergstrom will roturn hero to make
their home.
Mrs. Hanson Hughes will depart
Saturday for Roseburg.
Frank Turner left on a trip today
for Interior points, expecting to go

Wilson River Project, Sanctioned
by House, Considered Against
Best Interests of State.
The Wilson River Toll Road bill,
the designation given to the bill that
has passed the house at Salem, and is
now before the senate for consider
ation, is opposed by the county court
of Morrow county, and that body took
decisive action in the matter yester
day, calling upon all the Eastern Ore
gon counties to get busy and help to
defeat the measure, which they con
sider to be opposed to the best inter
ests of the road program of the state.
In fact this proposed toll road Is
simply a tourist proposition, promot
ed by those who desire a more direct
route to the coast from Portland and
other centers of the west side, and in
the opinion of our county court will
be another burden for the taxpayers
to assume a little later on, when the
road is saddled on to the state high
way system, as it undoubtedly would
be.
Acting upon their judgment, there
fore, our county court prepared and
sent out last evening the following
copy of a letter going in as a night
letter to the senate committee on
roads and highways, with the request
that the various county courts of
Eastern Oregon take similar notion
"The Senate Committee on Roads and
Highways, Salem, Oregon
Eastern Oregon counties have bond
ed themselves to the limit to assist
m state's road program. They can
not carry this load and construct
highways needed locally for the con
venience of their people and the de
velopment of their country without
more assistance from the State High
way und.
"We are advised that a bill passed
the House and is being considered by
the Senate authorizing construction
of toll roads with State Highway
funds, the immediate object being
construction of Wilson River Toll
road, to cost ultimately when paid
about four million dollars.
"We consider such use of State
funds not only wasteful and extrava
gant but a flagrant discrimination
against the producing areas of the
state, where highways are needed for
property development, and urge that
this is more important now than addi
tional scenic routes, which will ab
sorb revenues almost without limit."
Heppner will be treated to a real,
bonafide, home-taint vaudeville in the
near future if plans of the Heppner
Public Library association, made at
its meeting Friday, materialize. Danc
ing, musical skits, and who knows
what, may be the brain creatures of
many local citizens for the affair.
It is rumored some mighty inter
esting contests will be staged with
cnanccs tc win a prize. All of which
is the result of the financial status
of the above named association.
The library must have funds if it is
to continue in existence, and this is
one of the ways planned to get the
money. Another way will be by
means of a membership drive for
which Mrs. W. P. Mahoney and Mrs.
C. W. McNomer were named captains
of two teamc. Mrs. Eoy Missildine
and H. R. Johnson are in charge of
the vaudeville in which different or
ganizations of the city will be asked
to participate.
It is hoped to raise enough money
in 25 cent membership feeB to keep
the books circulating until the en
tertainment is staged, from which it
is hoped to derive funds to keep the
library going until city or county
support can be obtained. There are
now 3G members of the association,
i.nd it Is believed this number should
be increased to 200 or more.
It has been recognized that the li
brary is a civic institution and as
such should be maintained by the city
or county. However, the library was
started too late to obtain Bupport
from either of these sources this
year, as the budgets were previously
made, The city council expressed it
self as not being adversj to the proj
ect and will no doubt be willing to
help another year.
Right now the library is facing an
increased demand for books with an
insufficient supply. Three hundred
general loan books are available from
the state to help take care of this
demand, but more funds must be
raised before the books can be ship
ped. When a member of the drive com
mittee calls on you, you can do a civic
service by giving your name and 26
cents to become a member of the as
sociation. No charge is madoi for Sorrowing
I ooks and everyone is privileged and
urgi.'d to take advantage of the on.

LOCAL K ITEMS
Bert Johnson, who was in the city
on Monday for a short time from his
ranch out north of lone, states that
the ground is wet down to a depth of
about four feet the best soaking it
has had in several years, and at pres
ent time the crop outlook could not
be better. Snow was not all gone at
that time but we presume that the
chinook of the last dojf two has
taken it all away. The ground got the
full benefit, as the melting was very
gradual and there was but little frost
to interfere with the moisture going
down.
A delegation of Irrigon residents in
the city on Wednesday, having bus
iness before the county court, were

Increase Except in This
Part of State, Claim.
East Oregonian.
Oregon's 1927 lamb crop will be
twenty per cent short of normal, ac
cording to present indications, Hugh
Sproat, secretary of the Oregon Wool-
growers association said today. While
this iff true of the state generally, the
lamb crop in northeastern regions will
be normal. This, he said, was due to
the good condtions of the ranges, and
plenty of rain last fall. Northeast
ern Oregon was the only section of
the state to escape the condition
reaching drought proportions in oth
er parts of the state.
Eastern Oregon's wool clip for 1927
aiso as a result of these conditions
will be good while other parts of the
state do not look so good. The wool
market, he declared, is strengthening
considerably and wool prices look to
be as strong as last year with the for
eign markets stronger.
Considerable contracting for the
1927 wool clip is now underway, with
many woqjbuyers in the field.
bpeakmg of the recent Associated
Press announcement from Salt Lake
in which Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine is quoted as saying tha Case
ment report increasing fees on the
national forests would be put into
effect, he declared he believed this
ntustion would work out all right in
conferences between forest officials
of the district and the sheepmen. He
did not believe drastic increases
would be put into effect to such an
extent that it would interfere with
the grazing of sheep on the national
forests.
DOINGS OF WEEK
JIT
E
Oregon State Editorial Association,
Special Correspondence.
Salem, February 1. Half the ses
sion gone and no financial plan ac
ceptable to all members in sight. This
is the situation at beginning of the
fourth week here in the capitol.
Getting a slant on what Governor
Patterson intends to suggest has been
one of the difficulties. It has not pre
vented, however, numerous remedies
for the cash deficit in running ex
penses for the state. Everything from
taxation of chewing gum, lip-stick
and movies to cancellation of the six
per cent limitation has been advanced.
Highway funds, auto license taxes,
fee collecting boards dozens of plans
are up. All these would require vote
cf the people for approval or would
create objection from interests af
fected. Guardians of the highway
projects want no cuts in road build-
ng programs. Motorists agree with
them.
Tax Remedies Suggested.
Income tax suggestions and bills
are plentiful, and the bills if passed
would raise no immediate income. Hydro-electric
schemes, to put the state
into that business or ax further the
establishd industries in that line are
in the mass of measures presented.
These, combined with a whirl of
revolutionary educational changes, do
not tend to clarify, and leave the leg-
slative mind in foggy condition.
benator Joseph has contributed his
perennial hydro-electric masure. He
says himself he does not know what
it is all about, but that it makes state
operation possible. It is known as
Senate joint resolution No. 2, and
authorizes the state to enter into con
struction, development and operation
of hydro-electric plants without any
limit whatever on the amount of in
debtedness which may be incurred
against the state. While the resolu
tion does not contain the necessary
legislative provisions to make its op
eration possible, yet nrincinles in
volved are identical with those of the
housewives" bill so overwhelminely
defeated by the people at the Novem
ber election. The vote was practically
tour to one against the issue in the
election, but Joseph holds that the
state must go into hydro-electrics,
and resubmits his measure.
Schulmerich of Hiilsboro has put
n house bill 227, to levy a tax of 60
cents for every kilowatt produced or
generated by hydro-electric operation
in Oregon. This bill of course does
not apply to energy generated by
steam, either by use of sawdust or
other fuel. Hence it would operate as
a direct discrimination in favor of
plants using fuel and against those
employing water for power. Also
there would be no way by which en
ergy brought in from another state
could be taxed. This, for example,
would discriminate in favor of com
panies generating power in Washing
ton and selling it in Oregon. Again,
an Oregon company selling power to
an adjoining state would be compelled
to pay the watt tax for energy deliv
ered outside the state. It is also to
be noted that the tax is levied only
upon private companies and would not
spply to power generated by munici
pal plants.
How this would affect established
industries is indicated by the claim
of the utilities that in the last four
years their taxes have been increased
on an average of about forty per cent.
This means that they are now paying
almost 10 per cent on gross income
in taxes. They claim also that this
legislation if passed would be unfair
discrimination, particularly in view
