Over at Boardman the North Morrow County
Fair will open its doors to the public tomorrow
(Friday) morning and will continue until the
last strains of ' Home, Sweet Home," mark the
closing nf the big dance which is a feature of the
annual exposition.
Teople who have atlended the North Morrow
fair in years past can attest to the high quality
and abundance of products placed on exhibition
there. The exhibits are mostly products of the
two irrigated districts, Boardman and Irrigon,
gome at least, as good as produced anywhere.
There may, and certainly should be, exhibits from
other sections of the county, for it was demon
strated at the fair held in Heppner two weeks ago
that good show stuff is produced over this way.
The 4-H Beef club s stock, as well as adult entries
here, if shown at Boardman would be a great
boost to the North Morrow fair.
We should remember that the success of the
fair at Boardman will reflect credit upon the
county, for while the two irrigated projects seem
more or less remote, it is only because of an un
fortunate geographical condition "which necessi
tates traveling additional miles to get from the
southern part of the county to the northern part,
and vice versa.
The river folk have set about to provide good
entertainment for the two-day fair and their ef
forts should be rewarded with a good attendance
from this end of the county.
Where the Money Will Go
Paragraph 2 of Section 28 of Enrolled House Bill
No. 460 (the sales tax) sets out the manner in
which receipts from the proposed law shall be
apportioned. To aid in clarifying the intent of the
law the paragraph is quoted herewith:
"After payment of the administrative expenses,
all moneys remaining in the sales tax account
in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), unless
otherwise appropriated by law, hereby are appro
priated annually to the extent of, but not in ex
cess of, twenty-two million dollars ($22,000,000)
and shall be distributed on or before the last day
of September, December, March and June of each
Small Business Committee Meets in Seattle
year, as follows: tl) one-sixth thereof to an ac
count in the general fund for credit to the sev
eral counties of the state; (2) one-sixth thereof
to an account in the general fund for credit to
the Incorporated cities of the state; (3) one-sixth
thereof to an account in the general fund to be
credited to the several school districts of the
state; (4) one-sixth thereof to an account in the
general fund to be known as the "state public
assistance reserve account," which funds in said
account are to be transferred as hereinafter pro
vided; (5) two-sixths thereof shall be transferred
to and made a part of the general fund of the
state of Oregon, available for general govern
mental purposes.
"All moneys remaining in the sales tax account
available for distribution in excess of the said
twenty-two million dollars ($22,000,000), in any
one calendar year, shall be credited to an account
in the general fund to be known as the "state
property tax reserve account" until the balance
in such state property tax reserve account equals
twelve million dollars ($12,000,000). Thereafter,
and so long as the balance of the moneys in said
state property tax reserve account shall equal
twelve million dollars ($12,000,000), all moneys
which otherwise would be credited to such ac
count hereby are appropriated to the counties,
incorporated cities, school districts, state public
assistance reserve account and the general fund
of the state in the same proportion as hereinbe
fore provided."
The evident intent of the bill is to relieve pro
perty from further tax burden and to build up a
reserve against the time when property owners
may find it difficult to pay their taxes.

House Small Business Committee holds a bearing in Washington before
moving to Seattle. Rep. Pioeser is talking with Rep. Patman.
Small businessmen and farmers
over the entire Northwest are vi
tally Interested in the hearings of
the House Small Business Com
mittee at Seattle on Sept. 8 to 11.
This investigation is part of a
nationwide study of mining prob
lems, surplus property disposal
and cooperative corporations, as
they affect small business.
First hearing on co-op corpora
tions was held at Washington,
D.C., on Aug. 22. At that time, the
chairman. Congressman Walter C.
Pioeser, of Missouri, made very
clear the purpose of the com
mittee's inquiry.
"I am of the opinion," he said,
"that in a competitive capitalistic
system, farm marketing coopera
tives have served an essential
niche.
"These hearings were not con
ceived to harass anyone. They
are being held to determine
whether or not the government has
granted to any type of enterprise
benefits not enjoyed by other busi
nesses." Mr. Pioeser, who is serving his
fourth term In Congress, hat long
been looked upon as the champion
of the small businessman and
farmer.
As chairman of the sub-committee
on Government Corpora
tions Appropriations, he has put
up a constant battle for economy
in Government. As chairman of
the House Small Business Com
mittee his chief targets are mo
nopoly and tax-dodging corpora
tions. Principal issues before the com
mittee are whether Federal in
come tax exemption of cooperative
corporations discriminates against
small business, and what damage
will be done to farmers as well as
small businessmen by the incomer
tax avoidance of city consumer
co-ops.
Other members of the committee
at the Seattle hearings are Con
gressman R. Walter Riehlman, of
New York, and Congressman
Wright Patman of Texas. The
committee goes from Seattle to
San Francisco and Los Angeles,
then to various mid-wester
points.
BOARDMAN
With the Pacific Power & Light company mak
ing an improvement in the lighting system on
Main street there is an opportunity for business
houses to help brighten up the thoroughfare, for
special ocasions if not for regular use. Installing
of lamp posts at regular intervals along the street,
interspersed with the lights being put in by the
power company, would just about remove all
shadows at night. The project could even be ex
tended beyond Main street and include some of
the side streets. The more we do to brighten up
our town, the more we will enjoy living here.

All present office holders all

CONSTITUTION YEARS
The constitution of Oregon is
being given renewed considera
tion. There is a definite trend for
return to government under the
constitution that promises to be
come popular. Governor Earl
Snell has issued a prescribe call
ing attention to "Constitution
Day," September 17, as designa
ted by the congress.
The constitution has had some
severe stretching during the past
20 years and Oregon legislatures
have been among the principal
offenders.
Whether a member of the leg
islature could hold office in an
other branch of the state gov
ernment has been an unsettled
question for two decades in Ore
gon,
The third article of the state
constitution reads in part as fol
lows:
"The powers of government
shall be divided into three sep
arate departments the legisla
tive, the executive, including the
administrative, and the judicial;
and no person charged with of
ficlal duties undpr one of these
departments shall exercise any
of the functions of another.
" This week the state supreme
court handed down a unanimous
decision written by Chief Justice
George Rossman, holding that
members of the legislature can
not hold state administrative po
sitions, and that the acceptance
of a position by a legislator in
another branch of the govern
ment docs not automatically va
cate his legislative seat. In or
der to become eligible for such
a second position, he must re
sign (in writing) from the legis
lature. The suit on which the
decision was made was the state
of Oregon vs. Rep. Earl Hill who,
