Should be To the editor: The move from Pendleton to Portland for the Oregon Wheat Commission; this opinion should be shared by all Oregon growers. First it should be pointed out that the Wheat League repre sents less than one third of our state's producers. Yet all wheat producers are taxed, without a vote, to support the Wheat League and the Wheat Commission with a two cent per bushel tax levied by the Oregon Legislature. This is" not a self-imposed assessment as Mr. Packard, Comm. Adm.. has stated. In the past a group of growers petitioned the league to hold an election when the tax was increased from one half to one cent per bushel. We again requested in writing an election when the tax was increased one hundred per cent from one cent to two cents. At that time we ap peared before the Agriculture Committee hearing in Salem and requested an election on the proposed tax. The election was turned down by the committee at the request of the league president. This is truly taxation without repre sentation. It has become apparent that the Oregon Wheat League is composed of some 30 percent of the members acting in a cosv fraternal-like club that meet in rump sessions without representing the remaining Local women guests of honor at Aux. meeting On Thursday, Nov. 17, the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Auxiliary met for a luncheon meeting. Guests of honor were Helen Stevens, Hardman, and Erma Keithley, Heppner. Both ladies are seamstresses and have made numerous doll clothes for money raising projects for the auxiliary, re ports an auxiliary spokesper son. Alma Green, president, pre sented the guests with a gift, and reviewed the various projects and announced that money raised from the boy doll drawing will be used to purchase a color television set for the downstairs residents of the nursing home. Following the luncheon, members went to the hospital for an old fashioned "sing along" and visiting with the nursing home residents. December 16 was designa ted as Christmas Decorating Day and members are urged to be at the hospital at 11 a.m. Heppner. Oregon. Thursday, HOME OWNED NEWSPAPER editor To the Staff of Tri-County Home Health Agency - Marie Waters. Eloise Mortimore, Rosaline Knerr, Jullie Mik kalo, Robanai Disque, Pat Bond, Sandy Rill, Pam Min ster and Bill Miller. And a very special thank you to the very dedicated families and friends of the patients for whom we have cared, without your support and love, home care would not be a feasible answer to the request "but I want to go home." Sincerely, (s) Sheridan Tamasky Administrator, Tri-County Home Health Agency shared seventy percent of the grow ers. The Wheat Commission is composed of former league presidents recommended to the governor by the league for appointment. This is a contin uation of the cosy club opera tion. Contrast the Washington Association of Wheat Growers operation, where the in creased assessment was gained by all . the growers' ballots. The Washington commissioners are nominated and elected with state-wide grc ver votes. A request to the legislature is needed to change the oepra tion of the Oregon Wheat League from the original Commodity Act ORS 578 to the later Oregon Commodity Commission Act ORS 576. this change would give a vote to all Oregon growers. It would strengthen the league and add prestige to the commission ers. ORS 567 was passed 10 years after the original Wheat Commission law ORS 578. All other commodities except wheat and potatoes operated under ORS 567 the later law. Any influence by all the growers on the change of location of the commission office under the rpesent league rules, seems remote. As Mr. Packard states, the final decision will be made by the three commissions. (si Eugene S. Logan Box 313 Arlington, Oregon for lunch, and at that time will put up Christmas trees and decorations.
