ASKS INVESTIGATION
An investigation of the State
Tax Commission was called for in
a statement issued this week by
Howard Morgan, Democratic State
Chairman.
Morgan's name has been men
tioned as a successor to Robert
Maclean, who last week gave the
Stale Board of Control his resig
nation, effective Septemlx'r 20.
"I am definitely not interested,"
said Morgan when asked if he
was a candidate to succeed Mac
lean. Latest report is that Maclean
will withdraw his resignation.
UNDERGROUND PARKING
An underground parking lot in
the Capitol Mall was considered
this week by the State Board of
Control. Following a suggestion
by Francis Keally, New York ar
chitect, the board ordered esti
mates for the underground park
ing lot underneath the sunken
trarden. directly north of Court
Street. Jerome McDevitt was em
ployed to work out preliminary
plans and costs for the consider
ation of the board,
CROWS BLAMED
The State Department of Agri
culture this week blamed crows
for spreading pullorum disease
among Oregon turkeys.
The crows pick up the disease
from egg shells dumped along a
creek near an egg-breaking es
tablishment and from hatchery
castoffs dumped in the fields for
fertilizer. They then carry the
disease to turkey flocks, where
they are frequent visitors.
STATE FAIR SETS RECORD
The 87th Oregon Stale Fair,
opening August 30 for an eight
day run has broken records for
advance seat sales, entries for
premiums, exhibition space and
race entries.
This kind of news travels fast.
Now almost everyone in Oregon
is aware that this year's state fair
will be the greatest in the state's
history.
Slate fairs are becoming more
popular over the nation. In the
last three years four more states
have adopted a slate fair for the
visual educational and know-how
demonstration values the afford
on many subjects that augment
better living and all in a holi
day. The State Fair Commissioners
and Manager Leo Spitzbarl are in
accord in holding admission
prices down to those prevalent for
the last 20 years.
Television will lie both pro
duced and shown at the Stale
Fairgrounds during the Stale
Fair. Two cameras will be used
in producing real shows with the
image and the sound.
NEW LEGAL OPINIONS
Attorney General George Neu
ner this week gave 1 lie following
opinions on Oregon laws:
Governor Douglas McKay does
not have authority to expend
money from li is emergency fund
to indemnify owners ot nogs
slaughtered by order of the Stale
Agriculture Department because
of being infected with vesicular
exanthema.
(Owners of hoes destroyed by
stale order hav e two alternatives
of recouping their losses. One is
going into the courts and the
other is filing claims with the
next legislature.)
A covenant deed given in 1S83,
prohibited the sale or disposal
of Intoxicating liquor upon the
granted premises, is unenforce
able by reason of grantor's and
assign's actjuiesence in permit
ting the use of property for sale
of liquor for many years, and by
reason of their failure to assert
a right of reentry w'ithin a rea
sonable time. The forfeiture
clause does not constitute an en
cumbrance upon title so as to pro
hibit the issuance of a home loan
to a veteran by the director of
veterans' affairs.
CAPITOL HEAT WAVES
Recent remull of a story that
grew musty two years ago is that
Senator Condon will resign after
the first of the year, Governor
Douglas McKay will then resign,
making Senate President Paul
Patterson governor, who will ap
point McKay to the unexpired
term o f Condon.
Nothing wrong with the story
except that none of the alleged
participants plays that brand of
politics.
AND ANOTHER THING
Loyalely oaths were not the
only oaths that were difficult to
handle at the late presidential
conventions. Keeping swear words
out of the mikes was Occupa
tion Wow for the radiomen, re
turned delegates report.

Never before lias the Technicolor camera captured more exciting, interest-commanding
