NEW FORESTRY LAWS
Representative Oregon timber
men met at the state forestry
department in Salem on Monday
and drafted a new set of laws
relating to spruce bud worm con
trol to be submitted to the 1951
legislature.
The group was divided on the
matter of financing the control
work. Two plans will be submit
ted. The first would establish
a severence tax assessed on the
annual cut of timber. The second
would establish zones of infesta
tion and tax lands in the zones
where the control work was done,
The state forestry department
estimates there are 2,500,000 acres
of timber lands in the state that
are infested with spruce worm.
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
Incredible as it seems, Oregon
stands second in rural electnfi
cation, according to information
received by George Flagg, state
public service commissioner, from
Claude Wlckard
administrator.
Ohio is first with 99.4 per cent
of the rural homes electrified
and Oregon is a close second
with 99.3 per cent.
Extension of Bonneville power
lines into the rural sections of
the state has been responsible
for the large number of farm
homes now furnished with elec
tricity. Flagg said.
POLITICAL SPECULATION
Here's what the coffee clutchers
around the capitol think of the
top primary election candidates.
"They kept Deadwood Dave on
the farm too long. The hush and
hurry campaign cramps his
style."
"Win or lose, the Hoover back
ers have obtained their objec
tives in a measure. Wayne
Morse has been forced by politi
cal expediency to temper his
stand on several measures,
which his forthrightness
brought him both acclaim
criticism."
'The primary campaign
crystallized the opinions of many
voters against Senator Wayne
Morse. The anti-Morse group
activities and the heavy demo
cratic registration furnish a
signal threat to Oregon's junior
senator at the November general
election."
GOVERNOR TRAVELS
Governor Douglas McKay flew
to Pendleton Monday to welcome
the Liberty Bell to the state. He
missed out on a chance to wel
come the president last week
and said he had to be content
with greeting the national bell
shrine.
The povernor officially opened
the state Independence Bond I
drive at Pendleton Monday. The
Liberty Bell will be enshrined
at Portland until July 4th but
will make a tour of the state in
the meantime.
ARMED FORCES DEFENDED
Admiral H. H. Goode,, speak
ing in Salem Monday, likened
the military of the nation to the
bark of a tree, a protective neces
sity. An idealistic peace in . a
world of animal instincts is im
possible, was the trend of his
remarks.
Admiral Goode selected Salem
from among a list of 50 North
west cities as one of his stops
in a nation-wiae tour.
