BILL WOULD AMEND WAREHOUSE LAWS (Continued from First Page) ty and city officers, in view of the asserted fact that 90 percent of the amount of money raised from prop erty taxes is expended -by these lo cal governmental units. While rec ognizing the right of "home rule" the governor said some check was necessary in the light of past spend ing orgies by illy controlled local administrations. The governor's message was referred to the as sessment and taxation committee in the house. One bill has already been passed by the house after this trend. It is House Bill 3, introduced by Rep resentative Gordon, which would enforce a 20 percent reduction in the expenditures of all local tax spending units under the proposed budget estimates for the ensuing year. The senate now has the bill for consideration. A great number of remonstrances against the bill's passage have come from over the state, in which is expressed the opinion that the bill wtmld be im possible of operation and that it would be disastrous in Its effects by lowering the taxation base almost beyond repair and by hindering ef ficiency of the schools and other local governmental activities. To meet revenue requirements of the state, and assist the counties as well, it is expected most reli ance will be given to a number of tax measures thrown into the hop per by the taxation and revenues committee this week. Included is a general sales tax bill modeled af ter that of special session fame along with another sales tax bill of similar nature, except that the new bill provides for a one percent tax on gross sales to dealers in ad dition to the two percent tax on gross sales of personal services and tangible property direct to consumer. Certain exemptions are allowed in each bill and both car ry a property tax offset provision. Then there are three income tax measures, a corporation excise tax measure and an inheritance tax measure, all aimed to provide some additional revenue. The merits and demerits of all these is ex pected to be aired at a public hear ing in the house chamber tonight, presided over by members of the committee. Outstanding actions of the as sembly this week were the passage by the senate of the "Branch Banking" act by a heavy majority and passage by the house of the "Basic Science" bill. Heated de bates occurred on each of these measures after having been aired thoroughly in public hearings, so that the action on each may be taken as fairly indicative of the final chance of enactment of each. Probably no less exciting in its life in the senate was the Thomas pub lic utilities regulation bill which finally got past the senate after be ing a football of several commit tees and being amended and re amended until it was hardly rec- ognizeabie. To fish or not to fish also had its first inning this week when the house refused to open the Willam ette river to . commercial fishing, inis has not been taken as an in dication of the chances of another bill to reopen the upper Columbia to commercial fishing, as the debate on the Willamette bill gave evi dence that some who strongly op posed the Willamette bill would not have the same grounds for op posing the Columbia bill and that they would probably support it It may also be of interest to note in, connection with game matters that the house this week voted to open the season on elk in Union and Umatilla counties for a special license at $5. Dr. Best, one of the sponsors of the bill, declared such action necessary to keep the elk from becoming too great a nuisance and little opposition developed Still coming up for action is the revised game code in which there is beginning to deveop considerable interest Pasture Gives Cheapest Gams in Lamb Feeding When lamb prices are at such a low point as they have been the past year or so, making the top grade in marketing is exceptionally important in getting returns that will approach the cost of produc tion. Investigation of the grade of Oregon lambs actually marketed at Portland, made by the animal hus bandry department of the Oregon state college experiment station, re vealed that only 34.5 per cent of those coming from western Oregon were fat enough to class as top lambs. Of those falling in lower grades 47 jer cent were too thin, 8 1-2 per cent were too heavy and 10 per cent were of inferior breeding or were nob castrated or docked. , "Unquestionably the proper feed ing of lambs from birth to market ing could make a large part of the 47 per cent of thin lambs fat enough to bring the top prices," says O. M. Nelson, specialist in sheep at the station. "Pasture is the cheapest feed available, and while extensive feeding of grain will produce ideal market lambs it materially increas es the cost of production. "Lambs sucking ewes on good pasture will often make an average daily gain of a half a pound a day without grain, in fact college flocks have gained as much an three fourths pound per day on rape pas ture. Cover pasture is Ideal for finishing lambs. A comparison made of clover with native pasture by the college showed that lambs being fin ished gained 39 per cent more on clover than those on native sod. "Another test made by the exper iment station was with a bunch of thin lambs fed during the summer. Some were fed in the dry lot, some were fed grain and sown-sod pas ture, and some were run on raDe and received no grain. The lambs running on the rape with no grain far outgained arid were ready for market long before the other lambs. Those fed grain in the dry lot made the poorest gains,' Nelson explain ed. iiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiimmniuiiiiiiiiiiii At Heppner CHURCHES CHl'CH OF CHRIST. JOEL R. BENTON, Minister. Mrs. J. O. Turner.

Matt 4-1. , When was this that Jesus was led up into the wilderness? When? It was Immediately following His baptism, when "the heavens were opened unto Him and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him." The greatest temptations we ever have often come just following our very highest and holiest exper iences. "Thou wast slain in thine high places." And it is in the steep and the high places of life that the steep and dangerous precipice of temptation is most often found. Yes, men often become the vic tims of their victories: "The next most dreadful thing to a battle lost is a battle won," said Wellington. The peril of victory, is, if any thing, greater than the peril of de feat. The defeated man, if he has any proper grit and courage, will arm himself again and renew the battle more determined than ever to win. While the victorious man is often tempted to be satisfied with his victory and to forego further battles. Often, indeed, he becomes too self-confident, which robs him of the impetus of proper prepara tion for not only keeping what he has already won, but also for new battles which he must constantly face. , , Perhaps the greatest peril of vic tory Is the sometimes indolent re- Trade and Employment EXCHANGE (Printed without charge.

And so, following our Jordan ex periences, when the heavens are opened unto us, we are often led mto the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.. It is in the high mo ments of life that men need par ticularly to be on their guard against the peril of their victories! Jesus defeated the tempter thru the power of the Spirit; and thru the Word, the sword of the Spirit. Both of these great preparations for every time of temptation are ours, if we will accept them and use them! Do you have a Church home? If not we want you to come and wor ship with us.

Rinley. Director of Music Again we enter the month when this nation takes note of the birth days of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. One has been known as the father of his country and the other is its preserver. Washington led the way through those trying, testing, battling days when the nation was born. Lincoln endured the fearful strain when the foundations were violently at tacked from within. The suffering of both men was terrible, well nigh immeasurable. Both these men were guided by unchanging prin ciples rather than by the fads of the time. They belonged to that company of strong men who ap pear through the ages, who believe that there are two things which greatly affect the thoughts, aitions and influence of men. When con flict arises between opinion and principle, opinion must go to the wall and principle must be obeyed. Human leaders have been divided into two classes, those who follow ed principle and prevailed; those who followed opinion and failed. These two men eminently belonged to the first class. In our present time there is a great tendency to follow opinion, and already great crashes and clashes have followed. Both Washington and Lincoln were Christian men. Their princi ples rested back in the person and teachings of Christ There are many lessons for our time from both men. We will do well to take heed at this time to the lives of these great men. A hearty welcome awaits you at all our services. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Services at All Saints Episcopal church, Sunday, Feb. 19, will be in charge of M. G. Tennyson.

Depression Adds to Work Of Oregon County Agents There is no six-hour day or flve- day week in the business of Ore gon county agents judging from the volume of work they were call ed upon to do during the past 12 months as shown in the annual re port of the county agent leader, F, L.
