"A good thing to remember," says the Abilene,
Kansas, Daily Reflector, "in these days of all
kinds of 'federal aids' is that the federal govern
ment hasn't got a dime that It doesn't take away
from the people, so it can't give anything to a
school system, building program, county welfare,
flood control, crop surpluses or anything else,
without first having taken it away from the peo
ple." In this gigantic federal process of taking and
giving, a large chunk of the local taxpayer's dol
lar goes to support the bureaucracy which pro
vides "give away" services that in most cases
could he better handled locally in the first place.

The marketing committee of
the Morrow County Livestock

agreed to mail to all Morrow
county livestock men a market
listing card in an effort to get
all cattle sales listings to facili

committee had earlier planned
to contact personally all live
stock men but due to the busy
season they agreed to obtain the
listing by, mail. A number of
inquiries have been received from
out of stale buyers for calves at
weaning time. With the slow
backward market for calves in
the fall of 1955, the committee

district sponsored tour was work
ed out Monday afternoon. Plans
now are for holding the tour on

The tour will concentrate on weed
control practices, with a stop at
the Glen Aldrich farm, Irrigon,
to see soil sterilants in a weed
control demonstration in an irri

Boardman will be made to see
roadside weed control work in
cattails, quackgrass, and other

Considerable Interest has been
shown this week by farmers in
claiming refunds of federal tax
on gasoline and special fuels
used on farms. The forms for
claiming this refund are now
available at our office with com
plete instructions for their use.
Farmers who would like to
have an application in for Omar
and Columbia, the two new
wheat varoties to be distributed
this fall, are reminded that appli
cations will close June 30. The
allocation committee will distri
bute these varieties from appli
cations in the office in early July
so that those who have made ap
plications will know what to ex
pect before harvest time.
Applications for Columbia and
Omar seed wheat are still being
accepted in this office. The in
crease of the original seed al
located to Morrow county grow
ers last year will be distributed
from these applications after
June 30. If you cannot call at
the office for an application
blank, drop us a letter and we
will mail one to you.
A supply of refund claim forms
and instructions for claiming
federal taxes on gasoline and
special fuels used on farms has
just been received at this office.
According to the Internal Reve
nue Service, arrangements have
been made for County Agents to
distribute these necessary claim
forms. Refunds on such fuel was
made possible under provisions
of public law No. 40G, approved
this spring. The relief in the case
of gasoline tax is accomplished
by providing annual refunds
payable by the federal govern
ment directly to the farmer. The
first claims to be filed will be
with respect to gasoline pur
chased after December 31, 1955
and used on a farm for farming
purposes betoie July 1, 1956.
These claims must be filed on

NEW MOTOR VEHICLE
DEPARTMENT
On July 1, 1956, fifty-one years
of supervision of the motor vehi
cle division by Oregon's secre
taries of state will come to an
end , , and the state's first motor
vehicle department, headed by a
director appoited by the gover
nor, will come Into being.
Automobiles were first regis
tered in Oregon on May 19, 1905,
by the secretary of state, who
had been assigned this new duty
by the legislature. On the first
day 32 "horseless carriages" were
registered without charge. The
first registration fees were col
lected in 1907 when a non-recurring
charge of $3.00 was made.
From the 32 automobiles regis
tered on May 19, 1905, the num
ber of motor vehicles in Oregon
has grown to more than 800,000.
The few hundreds of dollars of
fees collected In the biennium
beginning in 1907 has grown to
more than $25 million for the
current biennium.
Grant, Gilliam, Hood River, M,al

Farmers are reminded of the
annual field day of the Pendle
ton Branch Experiment Station
which will be held this year on
Monday, July 2. This early an
nouncement is being made in
order that farmers might plan to
hold that day free. The Tour
will start at the Letr King Pilot
farm at 9:30 a. m. That farm, as
well as the Hill ranch pilot farm
will be studied during the morn
ing. The afternoon program will
center on work being done at
the Experiment Station at Pendleton.
It happened at the famed Darlington
Raceway. A '56 Chevrolet, with 225
h.p., poured it on for 24 straight hours,
averaging 101.58 miles per hour, to top
the Indianapolis stock car record by
280 miles! Here's proof of perform
ance, stamina, stability and sureness

AMALGAM FEVER
Attempts to move the motor
vehicle division, which now em
ploys about 500 workers, from the
secretary of state to the governor
began during the terms of Secre
taries of State Earl Snell and
Robert Farrell. At that time the
proposed change did not get past
the talking stage.
Early in the first term of Sec
mt.qrv nf stato Earl T. Newbry
the legislature made determined
attempts to order the move, but
opposition organized by Assistant
Secretary of State wunam
Healy defeated the proposed
change.
NEWBRY A TARGET
Early sponsorship of the pro
posal to move the division to the
governor were based entirely on
grounds that the secretary of
state was taking advantage of
the opportunity to publicize his
name. In both the 1951 and 1953
sessions bills were Introduced
forbidding the secretary of state
to place his name on the many
documents and papers issued by
the motor vehicle division. Sena
tor Richard Neuberger was usual
ly in the forefront of the man
euvering, but senators of both
parties gave his bills support.
It was Healy again, who organ
ized opposition to those bills and
twice Neuberger's attempt to
bury the name of Newbry failed
by a single vote. In numerous
appearances before the highway
committees of both Houses, Healy
claimed the attempts were politi
cally inspired and would un
necessarily hamper proper ad
ministrative functioning of the
office. An interim committee
created by the 1953 session to
study state government re-organization
found Healy cooperative
when it was made clear that
greater efficiency and economy
were the goals not a concern
with the publicity received by
any particular elective officer. It
was his suggestion that caused
the committee to include the fi
nancial responsibility division
and motor vehicle fuel tax divi
sion in the recommendation to
move the motor vehicle division.
The recommendation of the com
mittee was adopted by the 1955
session of the legislature with
the only potent opposition from
the Democrats of both houses.
