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.

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.
