Last year they squelshed a well heeled sales tax campaign into a complete chastisement. Pan icky candidates erased "sales tax" from their campaign slo gans. The up-staters put the first dents into the drive with their "No Sales Tax" meetings as they followed the schedule of the pros closely in their far spaced meet ings in Oregon towns Ontario, Astoria, The Dalles, Medford, et al. Prospects for another scrap be tween these political minutemen is looming. Another sales tax campaign with even an earlier start than in 195G, generated from the same sources but with a different approach is in the making. Instead of big name speakers (their time is too valuable they! say) on the Chamber of Com merce circuits the major efforts will be throught newspapers and over' the air. A top adagency is developing the publicity flair with "the busi. ness" expected to be in matrix before Labor Day. Not o Property Taxi Oregon has not had a state property tax since the 1935 legis lature when a Democratic house was beshrewen and becussed by Gov. Charles H. Martin (Dem). A property tax and a sales tax were the ghosts that trod the halls of the Capitol during the entire 128 days of the late ses sion. bveryone was careful not to say a good word for either of the bereft issues.

At a recent meeting of the seed committee plans were made for seed certification and inspection of clean fields of ssed trrain which will be listed for reference for those who might be interest ed in puchasing new varieties or cfeaner seed for planting this fall .

They also urged that farm ers who might have seed eligible for certificattion make applica tion soon so that sources of certi fied seed might be established. The committee planned to ins pect prospective fields by July i Ttie committee also encouraged farmers with clean fields to use care in cleaning seed treaters so that mixtures did not result during the process of cleaning and treating.

To help those who have asked and others who might be interested help make up their mind as to whether to use this preparation some information found by the Mont;na State college might be helpful.
