VIEWS OCNVENTION
(Continued trom nm Pag)
reduced and with members joining
the new administration's efforts to
extend association influence, the
convention at Heppner might well
mark a turning point in association
growth, activity and general use
fulness. Giving hint of this was the lively
crap precipitated by a committee
recommendation that, with the ob
ject of securing more members and
thus greater revenue and greater
prestige, dues be reduced from one
and one-half cents to half a cent
per head, and that affiliated county
groups be organized. Ernest John
son of Wallowa led this revolution,
which was resisted by President
Phillips and others until one cent
was agreed upon, with $100 as the
maximum regardless of sheep num
bers; and with $1 to $10 depending
on "what the traffic will bear," for
individual and corporate sympa
thizers like banks and country ed
itors. No attempt can be made more
than to mention the program fea
tures, the scope of which merely
emphasizes the association's im
portance to Oregon sheepmen. De
velopment of Columbia river water
ways was shown by Herbert G.
West, secretary of the Inland Em
pire Waterways association, to
mean cheaper transportation of
Oregon wool and lambs. Much ap.
predated assurance was given by
W. E. Meyer, president of the In
termediate Credit bank of Spokane,
that his organization considered
payment of association dues legt
timate expense. Offering no solu
tion of a very puzzling marketing
situation was Paul R. Carpenter,
new extension marketing special
ist, who would hazard very little as
to how "the boss of the wool mar'
ket, a young woman weighing about
132 pounds," would dispose of the
puzzle. Somewhat more optimistic
were Harry Embach, manager of
the National Wool Marketing cor
poration; and R. A. Ward, manager
of the Pacific, leading western co
operative. Both of the latter saw
huge possibilities In advertising
campaigns.
With the help of his performing
"troupe" of four dumb but eloquent
Rambouillet ewes brought all the
way from Union for their first ap
pearance on any stage, Superinten
dent D. E. Richards of the Live
stock Experiment station there,
said more in ten minutes about
culling than some could say in an
hour. The burden of his address
was that "three out of four have
it," or, "Why Raise 4000 when 3000
Good Ones Are Plenty?" R. L.
Clark, North Portland livestock
commission merchant, talked
straight from the shoulder about
selling Oregon's lambs. Sheepmen
are not getting all that is coming
to them, but the "birds" who can
change marketing conditions are
the sheepmen, was the way he put
it
The present and prospective posi
tions of the live stock operator on
public lands was discussed by P.
M. Brandt, head of the department
of animal husbandry at the state
college; unsolved problems of the
Industry were gone over ably by
Mac Hoke, president of the North
west Livestock Production Credit
corporation; and practices at Trian
gle ranch near Prosser, Wash., one
of the outstanding private opera
tions in the northwest, were de
scribed by Virgil O. McWhorter,
manager.
Bad news for some operators was
brought by John Kuhn, represent
ing E. N. Kavanagh, assistant re
gional forester in charge of graz
ing, who announced that the num
ber of live stock carried by the for
est service would have to be re
duced. "Not a reduction program,
but a cooperative effort to improve
our ranges in the best interest of
all concerned, was how he sugar
coated the pill. Blanket reductions
are not intended, for some ranges
will handle as many head as ever.
. and adjustments will be made by
local range officials.
Vice-presidents elected to serve
with President Barratt are Ernest
Johnson, Wallowa; Mac Hoke, Pen
dleton; J. V. Withers, Paisley, and
David T. Jones, Burns. Walter A,
Holt, Pendleton, no doubt will be
retained as secretary, and the ex
' ecutive board will decide whether
Baker or Pendleton, both of which
were nominated, shall have the next
convention.
In the resolutions they adopted,
the wool men protested the new live
stock shipping regulation propound
ed for the west, operation of which
is suspended for the time being by
Injunction; favored voluntary grad
ing of meats as other food products
are graded; held that two members
of the state relief commission be
men familiar with live stock prob
lems; approved heartily the pro.
gram of the waterways association
asserted that in federal purchas.
ing of marginal lands it should be
recognized that these are best
adapted to grazing. Greater coop
eration was asked for between state
sheep, cattle and dairy associations
and the Eastern Oregon Wheat
league on mutual problems, and the
state game commission was called
upon for financial support of the
predatory animal campaign. Dl
rect appropriations from PWA
funds were sought for these cam'
paigns, and better support of them
by county wool growers' assocla
tions. Continuation of the federal
wool advisory commission was
asked of the farm credit adminis
tration, but at the other extreme,
two cents per pound for handling
wool controlled by government fi
nancing agencies was branded an
unjustifiable charge, and the asso
ciation declared its "unalterable op
position" to subsidizing mid-western
live stock growers at the ex
pense of far western operators.
This was a crack at the AAA policy
of handling lands retired from pro
duction there.
The foregoing and an expression
of hearty thanks to Morrow coun
ty people "whose efforts and most
generous hospitality made the meet
ing such a success" sprang from
the resolutions committee. The
following recommendations were
submitted by the legislative and tax
committee with the observation
that, especially in view of existing
high tax delinquencies, the time is
opportune for retrenchment by the
legislature, and for consolidation
where practicable of taxing units.

The double - header basketball

both boys and girls of the local

SALEM (Special) It cost the
taxpayers of Oregon $214.17 for each
of the 466 bills passed by tne regu
lar session of the state legislature
in 193S according to a survey of
legislative costs covering all states
just made by the law school of Duke
University of Durham, N. C.
The total cost of the Oregon leg
islature at its regular session two
years ago is placed at $100,088.93.
Only seven of the 48 states In the
union spent less on their legislative
mills. These were Tennessee, Ari
zona, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada,
New Mexico and Utah in the order
named. Utah put Up only $40,365.59
for Its 1933 session. On the other
hand. Maine, a much smaller state
than Oregon, spent $200,144.92 or
just twice as much.
Oregon's comparatively small leg
islative expenditure is due almost
entirely to the low salary paid its
lawmakers, this state footing the
list in this respect Oregon paid its
lawmakers a total of $10,960 for
their services in the 1933 regular
session. Utah, with a much smaller
total cost for the opertion of its
legislative mill, paid out $19,920, or
nearly twice as much in salaries.
Kansas, the only other state with
$3 per day pay schedule allows a
maximum of $150 for the session
while Oregon's legislators are lim
ited to $120 each for a regular ses
sion with the presiding officers of
each house receiving an additional
$2 per day. Washington's legisla
tors are paid at the rate of $5 per
day as also are Idaho's while Cali
fornia pays at the rate of $100 per
month straight, session or no ses
sion.
While this state has been some
what penurious in its treatment of
the legislators themselves the law
makers have been rather extrava
gant in the matter of hired help.
in at least 13 states senate employ
ees received less than did those in
this state in spite of the fact that
the Oregon legislature put the
brakes on spending that year, and
in 17 or more states the house em
ployees cost was below that of Ore
gon. Included In this group of
lower employee cost states are Col
orado, Virginia, Nebraska, Indiana,
Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia.
Washington spent only $25,911 on
house employees in 1933 while the
Oregon house spent $29,982 and
California, with a much larger body
of lawmakers spent only $18 more.
Oregon's lawmakers may not be
so well paid as those of other states
but they believe in giving service
and plenty of it for all that. With
a total of 954 bills introduced at the
1933 session this state ranked ahead
of 17 other states in that respect
cut it is really in the total number
of bills passed that Oregon's law
makers outdid their competitors
The 466 bills to make the circuit of
both houses placed this state four
teenth from the top.
Numerically Oregon's legislature
is one of the smallest among the 48
states. Only ten states send as few
members to the senate as does Ore.
gon and in only four states is the
.House limited to 60 members or
less. In this connection it is Inter.
esting to note that the little state
of New Hampshire, with a popula
tion less than half that of Oregon
has 438 members in its lower house.
Maine, another state In the same
population group as Oregon has
101 representatives and the Ver
mont house contains 248 members.
The lawmakers of Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New York, Rhode Is
land and South Carolina meet ev

sion are held biennially in all other
states except Alabama where regu.
lar sessions are held only once ev.
ery four years.

Stadelman points out that out of
