W. C. T.JL NOTES
MARY A. NOTSON. Reporter.
Will the legalizing of beer and
the restoration of the traffic in
whisky bring back prosperity? Let
British Columbia answer. During
ten years of government control of
the liquor traffic the people have
spent $139,725,788 for liquor. This
is a pretty good sum so spent when
you consider that the population of
the province is only 56 per cent of
the population of Oregon. The rev
enue derived from the liquor sold
was $35,274,390. Yet the public
debt increased.
A business mens' committee, ap
pointed to investigate conditions,
published its findings In July, 1932.
The oonvnittee recommended: Im
mediate stoppage of all public
works; closing of the University of
British Columbia next year if the
government is unable to continue
its usual grant and the efficiency
of the institution is jeopardized; a
halt in social services; stricter ad
ministration of mothers' pensions;
a limit of free education at 14 years
of age, 50 per cent of the entire
cost to be borne by pupils over 14
years of age and 100 per cent of the
cost to pupils in high schools after
their 16th year, an increase in the
number of pupils to open a rural
school from ten to fifteen, and for
establishing a high school from fif
teen to twenty; abolition of school
boards in municipal school dis
tricts; reduction of teachers' sal
aries 25 per cent; imposition of a
series of fees at normal schools
sufficient to cover the entire cost of
educating the student; a net in
come tax on insurance companies,
banks, telegraph companies, and
railways as on public utilities com
panies; temporary repeal of min
mum wage acts. The committee
further recommended: Sale of bot
tled beer in beer parlors for con
sumption off the premises; home
delivery of beer with a reduction in
price from $2.10 to $1.75 a dozen;
reduction rather than increase in
liquor prices to stimulate business;
a 25 per cent reduction in the staff
of liquor stores and warehouses;
reduction of all wages paid by the
board by 20 per cent; abolition of
the law enforcement branch of the
board, and the Victoria liquor ware
houses; and the recognition of the
fact that present liquor revenues
may be drastically curtailed if the
United States repeals prohibition.
Does that look like prosperity?
Encourage more liquor drinking to
bring in the revenue. Limit educa
tion. Do away with law enforce
ment agencies. Cut off mother's
pensions. This is the way to pros
perity. How do you like the pic
ture?
A few months ago, the wets en
thusiastically talked for 2.75 per
cent beer, which meant 2.75 per
cent by weight or 3.44 per cent by
volume. This kind of beer would
'put the homebrewer and bootleg
ger out of business. Comes now
August A. Busch, "king of Ameri
can brewers," and in a letter sent
to each member of congress says
that a beer with less than 4 per
cent of alcohol is simply an insipid
slop, which people will not drink.
He says that 4 per cent beer will
be satisfying, giving a warmth and
mild stimulating glow. But, of
course, it would not intoxicate."
There it is. If beer does not have
"kick" it won't sell and will not
produce revenue.
Old Scald Test Method
Expressed in Degrees
'Pass your finger rapidly thru
the water three times. If it burns
the third time the water Is the right
temperature."
That venerable old formula for
telling when water is the right tem
perature for scalding hogs is still a
good one, at least for anyone bless
ed with a reasonably keen sense of
feeling, says A. W. Oliver of the
Oregon State college animal hus
bandry department. Anyone want
ing a more accurate measure may
use a thermometer and get the wa
ter between 150 and 155 degrees F.
for best results, he says. As water
bolls at 212 degrees, It is easily ap
parent that the term "scalding" as
applied to butchering hogs is a rel
ative term only. Oliver cautions
against taking out the hog too
quickly, as many an otherwise good
scald is spoiled by not allowing long
enough time for the hair to loosen
fully.

SCHOOL TAX LAWS
NOW COMPLICATED
Equalizing Function But Poorly
Met, Finds O. S. C. Man in
Comprehensive Study.
That the public school revenue
system of the state of Oregon is
unnecessarily complicated and but
poorly accomplishes one of the main
purposes in view that of equaliz
ing the tax burden between districts
is the conclusion of an exhaustive
study completed by Dr. W. H.
Dreesen, agricultural economist of
the Oregon State college experiment
station.
Dr. Dreesen's studies, which in
volved a detailed examination of
records from every county in the
state, have been incorporated in a
bulletin just published by the ex
periment station and which Is so
complete as to constitute a detailed
reference work for legislators or
others who may attempt an im
provement on present tax laws.
"The public school revenue laws
of Oregon have been amended and
added to with apparenty two ideas
in view," says Dr. Dreesen, "one to
constrain the people to provide ad
equate revenue and the other to as
sist the financially weak districts
in the support of their schools.
"The first objective sought could
be obtained just as effectively un
der a simple law as under a multi
plicity of intricate laws. The sec
ond objective, the equalization of
the school tax burden, has been, ob
tained with partial if not ques
tionable success."
Dr. Dreesen's study revealed that
more than 85 per cent of the funds
raised under the county and. ele
mentary school fund laws found
their way back to the districts
where the money was raised, and
hence took no part In any equaliz
ing. Of the remaining $745,774 av
erage annual excess apportionments
used to equalize the burden, 30 per
cent was apportioned to 806 dis
tricts that already either had lower
general school levies than the aver
age for the county, or had hlgher-than-average
assessed valuations
per census child for the county, or
both.
Under the present laws, In fact,
the entire excess apportionment
constituted less than 4 per cent of
. i , i ,,
me average annual cost oi puono
school education, grade or second-
ary. for the years 1927-30. Dr. Dree-
sen suggests that betterment will
have to come through Joint action
by school administration and taxa
tion experts.

they become diluted by sucking."

Christmas Turkeys
In Unsettled Condition
A decidedly unsettled condition
characterized the Christmas turkey
deal in Its early stages, with the
situation complicated by uncertain
demand, fairly liberal supplies, and
sharply increased cold storage hold
ings, according to a review issued
by the extension service at Oregon
State college based on a direct re
port from the department of agri
culture at Washington D. C.
Early quotations were the lowest
In many years as wholesale prices
ranged around five to six cents be
low the month previous and as
much as 13 cent3 under those for a
year ago. - Northwestern turkeys
held an advantage in the large east
ern markets over competing sup
plies, however, commanding a two
cent premium over Texas birds.
Actual volume of early turkey
movements was reported fully as
' V. . . . . r. 1 1. n ,aa. nrmiinlid urllAtl
i uvtxvy oo uio jew
the Christmas marketings were con.
sidered at least liberal if not heavy,
Opinions differed, howaver, as to
the probable volume of receipts at
eastern markets and strength, of
demand.
Some encouragement as to de
mand was seen in the fact that
qualty is high this year, thus en
couraging consumption to that ex
tent. One source of competing sup
ply is also nearly eliminated this
year, In that importations have
been practically stopped by the tar
iff of 10 cents per pound dressed
weight which makes Importations
unprofitable at present prices.
December cold storage figures
complicated the situation as they
showed that in one month an ab
normally low cold storage supply
had been boosted by 11 million net
pounds that moved Into storage
during November. This is a record
gain for a single month, and the
total of 12 million pounds is more
than twice as large as. average,

U. S. PAYS MOST OF
OREGON RESEARCH
Long-Tune Program Costs State
Little to Bring Federal
Funds, Report Shows.
Through the use of only 24 cents
out of every $100 in property taxes
paid in Oregon, this state has, in
the field of agricultural research
been able through the years to af
ford such effective cooperation with
the federal department of agricul
ture that the government now puts
in $4 to every $1 supplied by the
state in such activities right here
in Oregon.
These facts are brought out In
the biennial report of the experi
ment station to the state board of
higher education just submitted by
Dr. W. A. Schoenfeld, dean of ag
riculture and director of the ex
periment station. Much of the
same situation occurs in respect to
the extension service, according to
Paul V. Maris, director.
"Federal cooperation in the solu
tion of problems of Oregon has
made possible vigorous and system
atic attack on many problems quite
beyond the resources of the state
alone to undertake," Dr. Schoen
feld reports. On a score or more
of projects conducted at the cen
tral station the federal government
has Invested $114,475 while state
funds for the same projects total
only $21,476.
"At five of the branch stations
additional projects have been con
ducted with the federal government
Investing $40,380 to only $25,500 by
the state, part of which was ad
vanced for the purchase of land on
which to conduct the experiments."
All state support for the branch
stations Is provided through the
system of oontinuing appropria'
tions running from $3,000 to $12,000
per station.
These projects have been built
up through continuous planning
and effort for a period of 45 years,"
Dr. Schoenfeld continues. "Should
Oregon cease to evince the sort of
interest that has made these co
operative enterprises successful in
the past, and fail to provide the
comparatively small proportion of
funds necessary to meet the re
quirements of the federal govern
ment, other states will undoubtedly
reap the benefits that have so for.
tunately fallen to this state In
years past."
Phosphate Sources Compared
Cushman Both basis slag and
super phosphate fertilizers on root
crops and potatoes gave increases
' in yield over check plots this year,
but observation of the later results
on subsequent crops will be needed
to determine which source of phos
phate is most profitable for this
region, believe H. J. Merz and W.
C. Walte who cooperated with the
county agent in such trials. On
turnips the superphosphate gave
slightly the larger yield, while with
potatoes the yields were equal but
more of those grown with basic
slag graded No. 1 and 2.
Wheat Grass Starts Quickly
Heppner Crested Wheat grass
has shown up exceptionally well In
comparative trials with Poa Bui
bosa or winter bluegrass In Morrow
county this fall. Careful observa-
tion was made by the county agent
of plats that had bene sown either
a year ago or last spring. With the
fall rains the Crested Wheat grass
showed exceptionally quick re
sponse and good growth, reports
County Agent Smith.
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, the present prices of
wheat and all other farm commodities
in the vicinity of the City of Heppner
are. generally lower than the coat of
production, and
WHEREAS, the present depression
has caused the withdrawal of money
from financial institutions to such an
extent that loans from such institu
tions are limited, and Individuals are
hoarding their savings to the extent
that money is practically withdrawn
from circulation, and
WHEREAS, it has become practically
impossible for the individuals and oth
er institutions to meet their maturing
obligations without forcing on the
market an immense amount of grain
and other commodities at the ruinous
prices and the resulting financial dis
aster to the citizens of Heppner and
of the surrounding community gener
ally, and if withdrawals and other ac
tivities can be suspended for a short
gerlod, and the citizens generally can
e permitted to market their products
in an orderly manner and without forc
ed sale and sacrifice to meet their obli
gations, the stability of the community
can be assured.
NOW THEREFORE, I, W. G. Mc
Carty, as Mayor of the City of Hepp
ner, by virtue of the authority In me
vested to act for the common good,
peace and happiness and financial wel
fare of our citizens, do hereby declare
