Too Much Law
ONE of the impositions of Ore
gon's truck and bus law was
shown here this week. A man was
picked up and fined for doing a fa
vor for his neighbor, just a little
matter of hauling a load of sand on
the way back from a trip to a neigh
boring town.
The law is on the statute books.
And the truck 'operator's act was a
violation whether he knew it or not.
The patrolman making the arrest
was but living up to his oath of of
fice. '
The point is that Oregon's truck
and bus law goes too far. While li
censed operators who pay plenty
for the privilege of hauling are en
titled to a reasonable amount of pro
tection, such protection becomes un
reasonable when it reaches the point
of making it impossible for one far
mer to haul anything for a neighbor
even as a favor.
Public sentiment will not long tol
erate enforcement of such a law.
Customers' Loans
Available from REA
Rural Electrification administra
tion has allotted $15,000 to the Uma
tilla Electric Cooperative association
to be re-lent to finance about 150
individual members' installations of
wiring and plumbing. The associa
tion will determine just how the
money will be available; and in
general, the terms on which it will
re-lend the funds. REA requires
however, that the individual notes
shall not finance more than 80 per
cent of the cost of any installation,
and the money must be repaid in
not more than five years. At least
two payments a year must be made.
Although the association will pay
only 2.88 per cent on the money
owed, the rate to individual bor
rowers must be higher, in order to
meet the expense of collection,
bookkeeping, and so on. REA sug
gests that individual notes be made
at 6 per cent annual interest on the
unpaid balance.
Five Projects Studied
iaw Butte Station
5qu
Five major research projects be
ing undertaken at the Squaw Butte
range livestock experiment station
in Harney county were outlined to
visitors at the first field day held at
the station, September 15. This new
est branch station, set aside and im
proved by the division of grazing of
the department of the interior and
operated by the Oregon Agricultural
experiment station, is designed to
develop facts applicable to some 30
million acres of public domain in
Oregon and surrounding states.
The most important research pro
ject being undertaken is that of
range rejuvenation. Studies will in
elude rejuvenation through - man
aged grazing of cattle and sheep and
the reseeding by natural or artifi
cial means with both native and in
troduced grasses. '
A range improvement project in
cludes water development and use,
study of various types of fencing,
control of predatory animals and
rodents, and control of poison
plants. A program of livestock man
agement constitutes a third project,
as those in charge say that the final
test of range rejuvenation and im
provement is the results obtained
with cattle and sheep under practical
operating conditions.
Two supplemental projects deal
with wild life studies and climatic
data and observations. The station
will be used as a center for study
ing the interrelationships of wild
life and domestic stock under range
conditions.
Potato Control Sought,
Ore. Men Assist AAA
A voluntary control program de
signed to limit commercial potato
acreage next year is contemplated
for the 1938 agricultural conserva
tion program, if approved by grow
ers in the leading commercial dis
tricts, according to reports received
from Washington, D. C. The plan is
to have growers in the commercial
districts vote on the question some
time in September, so that the de
tails may be worked out in plenty
of time before the planting season
for next year's crop.
The idea is to assign quotas rep
resenting a fair share of the national
acreage to those who voluntarily
cooperate and to provide benefit
payments for those who do not ex
ceed their quotas. The tentative plan
calls for the program to apply only
to commercial producers in com
mercial potato areas. No definite
plans have yet been announced as
to when the vote will be taken in
Oregon producing areas.
Three Oregon men are in Wash
ington, D. C, assisting in the detailed
formulation of the 1938 agricultural
conservation program. Two of these
are N. E. Dodd, Haines, president,
and N. C. Donaldson, Corvallis, sec
retary of the State AAA committee.
Both have taken part in such con
ferences previously and are fully
familiar with the procedure.
. The third Oregon representative is
P. M. Brandt, head of the animal in
dustries division in the school of
agriculture at Oregon State college,
who is representing the extension
service. He was selected as the rep
resentative from here because he is
familiar with the past operations and
future needs under the range im
provement program of the AAA,
according to F. L. Ballard, vice-di
rector of the extension service.
Farmer delegates to the state con
ferences earlier this summer were
unanimous in urging certain modi
fications of the range program to
make it more workable. From
Brandt's familiarity with range con
ditions, it is hoped that some such
adjustments may be included in the
new program.
FIRE AT CONDON OFFICE
Damage, estimated at between
$4000 and $5000, was sustained at the
Condon P. P. & L. office about 10:30
Saturday night from fire of undeter
mined origin, reported Ray P. Kinne,
local manager. Much of the loss was
made up of damaged transformers
and other equipment stored in the
rear of the office where the blaze
occurred.
NEW TEACHER ARRIVES
Miss Maude King, newly elected
fifth grade teacher, arrived the end
of the week from her home at Sims
boro, La., and has taken living quar
ters at Hotel Heppner.
Oregon Traffic
Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
Two especially terrible and need
less disasters have occurred on Ore
gon's highways during the past few
months. They are so tragic, so hor
rible, that I desire to call attention
to them here, and to urge every
resident of the state to guard against
a similar occurrence in the future.
One happened in Marion county..
Out of gas, a motorist went to a
service station and secured a gallon
of gasoline in an open container.
A second motorist, going in the di
rection of the stalled car, offered to
convey him to his car. A match was
struck to light a cigarette and the
interior of the car, filled with the
fumes from the gasoline, became in
stantly a mass of flames. A young
woman in the back seat met a hor
rible death.
In eastern Oregon a family, re
turning home from a trip to town,
carried five gallons of gasoline in a
milk can. The can upset and four
persons were burned to death.
Service station attendants are
urged to protect their patrons by
refusing to deliver gasoline in open
containers that are unsafe for its
transportation. Never use lighted
matches where there is even a re
mote possibility of the gasoline in
the car catching fire. Taking such
chances are dangerous and the pen
alty for making such mistakes so
great that they should be guarded
against at all times. Ordinary care
will do much to eliminate Oregon's
traffic deaths.
NEWLYWEDS CHARIVARIED
Returning from nuptials at Walla
Walla Saturday evening, Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Carlson were accorded
