WHO PAYS FOR ROADS?
Is the Joe who uses his jalopy
jioing to and from his job paying
for a big chunk of road damage
done by heavy hauling?
Thai's what the Oregon State
Highway Commission would like
to know and they are going to
considerable trouble and expense
to find the answer.
The Commission is cooperating
with seven western slates in run
niuj, tests on the relation of
truck weights to damage to high,
ways.
"Guinea-pig" highways are be
ing built at the co-state testing
grounds at Malad in southern
Idaho. The roads arc to be sub
jected to punishment by vehicu
lar travel and engineers will com
pute the relative damage caused
by varying heavy loads.
The Federal Bureau of Public
Uo.'kIs. the netroleum and truck
ing industries are contributing to
the project.
Similar tests made in Maryland
recently show thai: "Twice as
much load does several times
twice as much damage."
SLASH IN TAXES
A writ of mandamu was issued
Wednesday by the Oregon Su
preme Court directing Multnomah
county authorities to reduce as
sessments $S24,G13 on the Rey
nolds Metal Co., or show cause
why they should not,
The State Tax commission had
found that the properly was ap
praised out of line with surround,
ing property.
The high court also reversed a
three-Judge Multnomah Circuit
order that had held the Portland
City Council had no right to at
tach an emergency clause to an
ordinance which makes all punch
boards illegal.
. A suit against the Council con
tends that the emergency clause
made it impossible to attack the
ordinance bv referendum.
LIQUOR PRICES STAY
The retail price of liquor in Ore
gon will not be affected by ex
pected decontrol by the federal
Office of Price Stabilization. The
only lowering of prices by the
Oregon Liquor Control commis
sion said Chairman Robert L. Elf -stron,
would have to come from
a drop in wholesale prices made
by distilleries or if congress re-
cinded a part of the hike they
made to a $10.50-per-gallon tax
that went into effect last Novem
ber. This boost has slowed the
commissions business, ihe lax
now is from seven to eight times
as much as the cost of making
a gallon of liquor. The commis
sion's mark-up is about $1..T per
"fifth."
RECENT LEGAL RULINGS
When a judicial office is legal
ly abolished subsequent to elec
tion of a candidate therefor, but
before qualification and com
mencement of term, the success
ful candidate can take no office.
Powers and duties of the stale
board of conciliation are limited
to the .settlement of duties be
tween employers and employes.
The state department of fi-
Ljatice is not required to lease or
rent quarters for branch otlices
of state agencies in the same
building wiih other state agen
cies unless the selection is
feasible. The law is directory only,
and not mandatory.
The board of directors of a
school district of the first class is
empowered to select and purchase
sites for school purposes, without
the vote of the people approving,
subject to the limitations in the
budget law.
MORE LAWYERS?
At the stale bar examination in
Salem July 1517 there will be 171
participants seeking sheepskins
that they may practice law in
Oregon.
Six of the applicants are at
torneys from other slates. The re
maining KiS are law students. Ex
aminations fur the out-of-state
attorneys will be held on July 15.
ACCOLADE FOR JOHN KERRICK
High honor came to John C.
Kerrick this week when he was
informed that he had been named
chairman of a national advisory
committee on driver's licenses by

tor Vehicle Administrators.

New Bulletin Issued
On Sheep Care
It is questionable economy to
feed more than 100 pounds of
grain annually to a ewe and her
offspring, says John II. Landers,
Jr., in a new Oregon State college
extension bulletin, number 123,
"Sheep Management in Oregon."
Copies are available free from
the county extension office or di
rectly from Oregon State college.
Landers, a county extension
agent-at-large, says increased
costs which have cut down large
sheep operations in eastern Ore
gon and the increase in small
farm flocks has made sheep man
agement a problem on farms not
previously concerned.
He discusses buildings and
fences, labor, rams, ewes, di
seases, lambing, docking and

shearing, marketing and para-
