Ratee: Six Months _ Three Months 11.00 .71 .50 MEMBER 301 Plus X. The proposed Grange Power Bill is one which an intelligent person will have difficulty in voting on in telligently. Private ownership vs. government ownership or govern ment ownership in competition with private ownership is a question on Vote X34 for which the best minds of the coun try are not agreed. If the average voter, then, votes wisely on this measure it will be largely by acci dent. However, there are certain known factors in the problem which a voter would do well to ponder before put ting an "X” after 300. It is a gen erally accepted proposition that a privately owned public utility op- erates as a whole more efficiently than one owned by the government, Government dollars are not spent so efficiently as those spent by a pri- vate company. Consequently, from the standpoint of operation, private ownership and operation is more de sireable. It is argued, however, that the privately owned electric power com panies charge exhorbltant rates, yet those who point this out do not pro- duce figures showing that they make exhorbltant profits. One i of the reasons is that much of the profits are absorbed by taxes, both federal and state. This is an item not to be overlooked when voting on this question. There are some in stances of private companies making huge profits from the consumers of electricity, but they are exceptions, not the rule; and anyone who casts a vote should keep in mind the whole and not the particular. This is voting ethics. It is also contended that the pri vate companies are slow to develop power and put it in the hands of the people for consumption. But is this because they do not want to sell electricity? Only by selling can they hope to profit. Therefore, it would seem that the reason tor a large percentage of the people not having electricity in their homes.—in the rural districts, for example—is that the cost of developing new lines is greater than what would be realized from the investment. And finally it would seem that if the state cannot regulate such pub lic utilities in a way that they serve the best interests of the public, which charge proponents of this BRUCE SHANGLE Candidate on the Democratic Ticket for the STATE SENATE From the Twentieth Senatorial District, Comprising Umatilla County.

He stands with Progressive Democrats and Progressive Republicans who are supporting the President. He Is against Hoo- verism and Hardingism and all reactionary principles of old poli- tical leaders who are responsible for the depression and for gov- emmental scandals during the twelve years before President Roo- sevelt’s inauguration. He believes that In times of emergency active partisan politics should adjourn and all good citizens work harmoniously tor the general welfsre of their country. ln state affairs, he will be with the farmer, laborer, dairyman, amali business man, and work for their interests. He will help to repeal or greatly amend the vicious "truck law" enacted by the last legislature of which James H. E. Scott, one of his opponents, was a member. This law has forced hundreds of small truck owners off the highways on account of tyrannical regulations and prohibitive fees. Farmers are hard hit by this law. Many wood haulers using their trucks to support their families, have been put out of business; farmers who generally helped their neighbors by hauling their produce to market, had to quit doing so, as they were recuired to file schedules of rates, to take out permits, post tonds, and submit to strict and burdensome regulations In per forming neighborly sets.

Consequently, 301 and not 300, would seem to be the more nearly correct answer to the phase of the power problem which this bill presents, A Vicious Amendment, To incorporate a limitation ol axes on taxable property in our state constitution would not only be robbing Peter to pay Paul, but would be nullifying our only present means of securing funds by which 'o carry on our state, county, and ity government. Our schools would be forced to close their doors. Under our present tax system over 60 percent of our district tax money goes for the support of schools. If 'he property tax limitation amend ment is passed our universities would be closed, as well as additi- •nal public schools and every oth er state service reduced. Under the proposed amendment of I 50 percent limitation basis, the city of Hermiston would be allowed $2,- 442 for operation in 1936, which show’s a difference between the 1934 levy and the amount allowed. of $2,368, or 49.2 percent.. The city council would have to plan to se cure some other source of revenue to the amount of $2,368, in ordci to continue its present municipal ervices on its present basis. The only alternative would be federal or state sales tax.

S. C. extension economist. The ad vanee of the past month has been more than the usual seasonal ad- I vanee and Is the result of a rather sharp reduction in production gen- erally throughout the United States. The drought with its resulting high feed costs Is reflected in an 11 per cent decrease in the number of layers in farm flocks on October 1 : and a 3 per cent reduction in the number of eggs produced per 100 hens in flocks. Poultry feed costs are still rela tively high, says the report, but with the recent rapid advance of egg prices the relationship between feed costs and egg prices has become a little more favorable. Based on current prices, it required during September an average of 6.8 dozer eggs to purchase 100 pounds of standard poultry ration. During June, July and August it required more than eight dozen eggs to buy 100 pounds of feed. The figure for September 1933 was 6.1 comparer with a September average 1926 to 1930 of 5.7. A dairy report shows that consi derable improvement in milk pro duction per cow has occurred, par ticularly in the central states, but that heavy culling and marketing of Democratic milk cows during recent months has left fewer milk cows on farms than Nominee a year ago. The decrease in the number of cows has more than off- set the Increase in production per cow so that total milk production In the United States on October 1 was about 2 per cent below that of a year previous.
