kane last week end to attend ses
sions of the Pacific Northwest Med
ical association conference. He re
ported a fine program' with noted
lecturers from afar. An Interesting
fact brought out in one of the lec
tures is that in cases of fractured
skull use of x-ray is discouraged.
Taking pictures of a skull fracture
can accomplish nothing and simply
serves to set up irritation. Use of
cold packs on skull fractures is also
poor practice, he said. The best
treatment is extreme quiet and rest.

Jobs for 4000.
3Ionev for Caoitol.
Revenue Impairment.
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. More than 4000 men will
be given full time employment in
highway construction work in Ore
gon during the next year under the
federal governments relief pro
gram. While it is not expected
that the same 4000 individuals will
be kept on the payroll for a full 52
weeks it is more likely that 8000
men will be provided with jobs for
26 weeks or 12,000 individuals will
find work for 17 or 18 weeks.
The new emergency highway con
struction program In Oregon, tow
ard which Uncle Sam is contrib
uting $3,038,000, will provide full
time jobs for approximately
men, or half time work for double
that number while the grade sep
aration program to be financed by
$2,334,000 in federal funds will keep
the equivalent of another 1000 men
busy for 52 weeks of 30 hours each.
Another 1000 men will be used on
the regular federal aid program in
this state. Since peak of construe
tion activities naturally comes dur
ing the summer months the high
way program will probably require
the services of several tnousana
men during that period.
Details of regulations under
which the work is to be carried on
are still lacking. These Include the
pay scale which will govern em
ployment of workers but It is ex.
pected that the wages win ioiiow
closely the scale of last year when
common labor received ou cents an
hour and skilled labor was paid at
the rate of $1.20 an hour. '
State Treasurer Holman thinks
that Oregon should retaliate against
states which discriminate against
Anns of this state In placing orders
for materials and equipment, Cal
lfornia, he points out, refuses to
entertain any bids from out-or
atntn firms for state supplies. If
such a nollcv is smart for Callfor
nia, a similar policy should be just
as smart for Oregon, according to
the state treasurer who is In favor
of giving greater protection to Ore
gon industries, products and labor
against outside competition.
Robert Erickson of Salom is be
lleved to be the smallest licensed
automobile operator In Oregon,
Robert received his driver's license
last week. Just turned 10 years,
the youngster Is only four feet, ten
Inches tall and tips the scales at a
ba-e 65 pounds. He received a
grade of 98 on his written test and
an "excellont" on his driving test.
Word received from the national
capita! has it that Secretary Ickes
is ready to approve a 45 percent
grant and 55 percent loan for con
struction of a new capital building
for Oregon. This is In line with in
formation received from the secre
tary shortly after the fire. The
loan, it is understood, would be
made on a rent repayment basis.
In the opinion of officials here this
arrangement would not satisfy the
constitutional inhibition against
state indebtedness but would re
quire a special election to approve
the prospective debt burden.
While Senator McNary is said to
have cited the Instance of the state
office building in support of the ren
tal plan, it is pointed out here that
the supreme court approved the
loan In that case only because it
involved the transfer of funds from
one state activity to another and
did not actually incur the creation
of a debt as contemplated by the
constitution.
First distribution of liquor rev
enues to the cities and counties was
made this week when $19,572.84 in
beer and wine taxes was allocated
on a population basis. The act of
1935 diverts 30 cents out of every
$1.30 collected in beer and wine
taxes to the cities and counties. The
apportionment amounts to approx
imately two cents per capita.
State Treasurer Holman is strong
for President Roosevelt's "share
the wealth" program, providing it
does not encroach, upon revenue
sources now being tapped by the
ptates. Holman is particularly con
cerned over the proposed increase
in federal inheritance taxes and
has written the five members of the
Oregon delegation in Congress urg
ing that in any legislation that
might be enacted care be taken to
protect the interests of the states.
Pointing out that Oregon is now
collecting $600,000 annually in in
heritance taxes Holman calls atten
tion to the fact that "a considerable
part of this revenue comes from
estates that are also subject to the
federal tax; consequently any loss
of revenue resulting from federal
taxes absorbing all or a material
part of estates would seriously iir -pair
the revenue requirements of
this state."
Holman cites a recent Pennsyl
vania case in which the Uniud
States supreme court held that fed
eral and state death taxes accrue
simultaneously with neither taxing
unit having a priority claim over
the other except that the federal
government might have a preferred
claim in the event there was not
sufficient money to pay both taxes.
"It is this possibility that causes
my alarm when considering the ef
fect of higher federal death taxes
in relation to finances of the state
of Oregon," he declared In his let
ter to the Oregon Congressmen.
H. C. Herron, Benton county
farmer, who was named by Govern
or Martin to succeed Judge Victor
P. Moses as county judge of Ben

House of Representatives in the
1933 legislative session.
Mrs. J. W. Mclnturff of Marsh
field is a member of the new Amer
icanization council just named by
the state board of education under
authority of an act of the last ses
sion. Other members include A. C.
Rice of Portland, Thomas R. Ma
honey of Portland, John Jandrall
of Seaside and Percy Murray of
Klamath Falls. The council will
serve in an advisory capacity In
promoting Americanization work
in Oregon. Roben J. Maaske of
the department of . education has
been named by C. A. Howard, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion, as Americanization director
for Oregon.
Eighty tons of metal have been
salvaged from the dome of the old
capitol and sold to junk dealers.
Including steel and iron salvaged
from other portions of the burned
buildings more than 312 tons of
metal have been salvaged from the
ruins.
The report of the State Planning
board on the capitol construction
program will not be ready for an
other week or ten days at the ear
liest Promised originally for la3t
Friday the board has found 't nec
essary to delay its recommendations
while it continues its studies of
available sites, style of archltec,
ture, probable cost and method of
financing the new structure.
Applicants for new drivers' li
censes will have to exercise a little
patience if the little "pasteboard
permits fail to arrive as soon as
was expected. With extra crews
working day and night the state
department is more than two weeks
behind due to the unprecedented
eleventh hour rush to qualify for
authority to drive on the highways
of the state before the old licenses
expired with the end of June.
Growers Scan New Draft
Of Wheat Plan Contract
New wheat contracts will proba
bly be ready for producers' signa
tures sometime in July or early
August, according to latest word
received from Washington by the
Oregon State college extension ser
vice. The new contract is to ex
tend over the four-year period be
ginning with 1936.
To consider final suggestions for
improving the new contracts, grow
er representatives from wheat pro
ducing states were called to confer
In Washington July 1 and 2 with
Chester C. Davis, administrator,
and George E. Farreil, head of the
grain division of the AAA.
Will Steen, chairman of the Uma
tilla county wheat control associa
tion, is the Oregon representative
who sat in on this meeting. The
conference of producers follows the
referendum of a month ago when
wheat growers voted 404,417 to 63,
303 to continue wheat production
adjustment.
The hearing on a proposed license
for wool and mohair dealers pre
viously scheduled by the AAA to be
held in wool marketing centers, in
cluding Portland, has been post
poned indefinitely. The Portland
hearing had previously been set for
July 15 and 16.
The postponement was taken
pending the result of congressional
action on the AAA amendments
now being considered. This action
will determine the status of wool
and mohair under the act
Meanwhile the Washington of
ficials have announced that these
pending amendments clearly pro
vide for continuance of existing
marketing agreements and licenses
under the agricultural adjustment
act
Other sections of the amend
ments, drawn to conform to the re
cent NRA decision, provide that in
the future the secretary of agri
culture will issue orders regulating
the handling of milk, fruits, nuts
and vegetables In the current of in
terstate or foreign commerce, or
in substantial competition with
such commerce.
Drouth Winds Blow Hay
's to Oregon Pockets
Confirming the old adage that
"It's an ill wind that blows no one
any good," more than half a million
dollars were swept into the pockets
of Oregon farmers by the wind
which parched middle western
meadows last year and lifted top
soil of that section and scattered it
into swirling dust clouds, says E.
R. Jackman, extension specialist in
farm crops at Oregon State college.
When drouth directors, SERA
and FERA purchasing agents,
county agents and hay dealers
throughout the drouth areas were
notified of a surplus of hay in Ore
gon by extension, workers in this
state, there was immediate demand
for shipment of clover and alfalfa
hays. Little interest was shown ir
oats and vetch, hay at first because
it ia little known in the middle
west, but samples and chemical an
alyses soon removed doubts as to
its quality.
Western Oregon had its biggest
hay crop in history last year and
eastern Oregon had a surplus In
some sections, just at a time when
mid-western stock were faced with
empty barns, Jackman recalls. Nu
merous difficulties appeared in the
way of ready movement of hay east,
however.
One eastern Oregon county agent
had to make a special trip east to
clear up a quarantine tangle. Rail
road rates were at first prohibitive
but were lowered to emergency
levels in view of the vast tonnage
and apparent need. Difficulties in
getting buyers and sellers together
were reduced by making Jackman's
office a clearing house, with county
agents here and in the drouth area
serving as "field men."
Movement of hay from Oregon
continued well into the spring,
reaching an estimated volume of
75,000 tons. Efforts are being made
to get more exact figures. Prices
ranged from $8 to $11 per ton on
the oars for most of the hay. This
is not a particularly high price but
In view of the surplus in Oregon it
made a profitable outlet compared
with what could have been received
locally, says Jackman
"BIG MESS OF GREENS."
"The biggest mess of Greens ever
to be served In Heppner," is the re
port given the Gazette Times of a
family gathering at the Alex Green
home here Sunday. Five families
of Greens participated. Outside
attendants included Misses Mary
and Carrie Green of Knoxville,
Tenn., who were accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Will Green of Port
land, father and mother of Wallace
Green of Heppner, who spent Sun
day night at the Green home. The
young ladies are making a tour of
the northwest.

A Declaration
of Independence
On THIS DAY, 159 YEARS AGO
American colonies gained independence from a despotic mon
archy Their action secured to the 48 states of the Union to
day the rights of "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness"...
it gave to every individual in these United States a personal
independenc never before enjoyed by the people of any nation.
This day holds a deep significance to every citizen of the land.
It is, in fact, a monument to individual privilege. It should be
occasion for everyone to renew the pledge of fealty to himself
to his ideals of attainment for a higher and better society.
This Fourth of July and each succeeding one is occasion for a
renewed Declaration of Independence, following the high ideals
and precepts of the founders of our nation.
Through individual initiative lies the course of advancement . . .
and he who would progress must not hide his light beneath a
bushel.
In your declaration of independence obscure thyself not but
in words of truth and convinciveness,
