Wheat Commission
The Washington Wheat Com
mission was declared valid in
a recent decision or tne wasn
inrton state Supreme Court. This
reverses an earlier decision by
the Walla Walla Superior Court
on all counts.
The decision is of Interest in
Oregon because of the number
of self-help commissions created
nnitcr Orpeon law. Doints out
Paul T. Rowell, agricultural de
velopment chief of the state de
partment of agriculture at Salem.
The Washington opinion states
that the producer assessment Is
an excise rather than a property
tax, levied only upon the com
mercial producer and measured
solely by the quantity produced
and sold.
The neighboring Supreme
Court went on to state: 'The
nrntwtlon of a laree industry
constituting one of the great
sources of the state's wealth
and therefore directly or indirec
tly affecting the weuare oi so
great, a portion of the popula
tion of the state is aueciea io
such an extent by public in
terest as to be within the police
power of the sovereign."
The decision means that exist
in f-ommoditv commissions in
Washington can continue to do
VincinoKR as normal and new
commissions can be formed with
assurance of permanency irom
a legal standpoint, Rowell points
out. "
h adds that while Oregon's
commodity commission act is not
identical with the Washington
agricultural enabling act, the
two are quite similar. Thus the
Washington decision gives Ore
gon commodity commissions
some assurance or ireeaom irom
a successful legal attack against
their right to operate, subject to
the wishes of producers or me
commodity involved, Rowell de
clares. -
The Supreme Court decision
stems from a case filed against
h. Washington Wheat Commis
sion soon after its creation by
a producer referendum in isor.

it for food purposes. Grain buy
era have no alternative than to
turn this down or buy It for

take precautionary measures at

that elevators and gralnery space

thoroughly cleaned after treat

Cliff told us that most of the
