NEW TAX LAW IS SPLENDID CORN PUZZLE 10 STATE CROP PRODUCED General Law Must Ic Passed rtq I. A.,Mcrrjman, Near Central, Point, Mako Amendment Operative Be- Gets Heavy Yield by Carefully fore People Can Regulate Taxes, Cultivating Uses Only Perfect Says Attorney-General Crawford. Seed for Corn. SAIitfiU. Or., Nov. 2U. Tho btutc tnx (.ouiiiiisMon is at sen beeitiibo of what now heciiis to bo a' tax lnmlillu lor tliu lcgMntiire, following adop tion by tliu people of a constitution al timciidiiiciit providing, as the bat lot title ay, tor the coplu of eauh county to regulate taxation and ex emptions within the county, regurd lesa of coiibtitutionnl restrictions of blate btatutcs. . T:nx coniiiiifesiiincrt. say the provis ion within tiie new amendment pro- nlintr thai the amendment shall be come operative ouly under a general law1 has developed a peculiar phuse, which may possibly result in numer ous restrictions on the legislature. Tliu couiuuhsioners were not ready this afternoon to offer any decisive or final statements in regiud to lifts new amendment, inasmuch' as thoy were laboring under the impression for somd time, that it had been de feated nuil had not given the matter much thought, following the elec tion. " Jif (Jmuuuuicutious which they lmd. rgceived prior to tliu election from leading tax authorities in the Uih'led States, the muendmedt M'as pracli I'tilly universally condemned, lis it would 'evidently thiow the whole fcj-dr tern of taxation into u chaotic state1. Ono of the principal btttiubliilg blocks seems to be found in the Miiestion us to j.ii,t what extent it will restrict tie power of the legis lature. It is practically certain to the commissioners, from u cursory readinir or the law, that there can he no goiierul tax legislation enacted by tliu coming legislature and that the.ro' can bo no system of taxation established by the counties until such timo as a general law may make the amendment ocrntivc, and such general law probubly citunot be jmhs otl until the election two years from iiqw. Hut whether thi aiiiendmout will affect legislation covciing collection of special levenues is also a moot IKtiut. Hccommciidatioiis will bo sub milted to the legislature from van i oiw sources asking for amendment of the inheritance tax law. There will also piobably be legislation en acted concerning the office of insui nuce commissioner ami various other departments thiough which spcci.il revenue is derived. All investigation will bo made to ascot tain whether the bauds of tho legislators vi oe bound by the amendment to (he con stitution or whethor tho amendment will haVe no effect relative to this class of legislation. MUCH RIOTING , ALONG BORDER i United, States Troops Now n Actlpn With Instructions to Break U,A,1I Gatherings of Armed Men on Am crlcan Side. !. r-f'- ' OREGON TURKEYS ARE BY FOR THE BEST SAN FltANCISCO. Nov. 23. In BomotliliiK oer too crates and boxes tlic ThnnltsKlvliiR turkey mado his bow tof tho etalla and racks of the San I'TanclBco markets anil butcher shops today. TJio great Aiiiericuii bid caino all the way from Oregon, the northern fowl thlrt year, It Is sti'd by commis sion men,, oxcooolnr, tho California biotko" In finality. AUIhiuhJi tho rctnl't'is insert that tho quality of tho bird is up to stnn !ird tonio of tu lipu-alors havo been complaining. The reason Is paid to ho lack n! rain In tho north ern part of the Mat Prices this year are about tho snmo as last. Tho householder will pay ST. cents a pound dreaded for tho host grado, and from that down to S'i cents In proportion to quality. The price to tho wholesalers today ranged from 27 to 30 contH per pound. Uvo turkeys arc selling wholesale at from 22 to 25 cents. While tho California and Oregon supply is larger than last year, the, demand is far above tho normal and j thore is no indication of any drop In t I. A. Mcrrlinau is one of tho ninny farmors or Hogtie river valley who aro taking up corn breeding and the fnv drnblo results in this lino Is apunroht in tho largo yields ho Is securing, 6von this Reason, ono of tho dryest evor known in southern Oregon, his yield would do credit to any of tho great corn growing states, for It Is much abovo tho average for tho United States, says tho Itoguc Itlvcr Fruit Grower. From 15 acres of corn Mr. Morrlmnn obtained an nvorage of 41 busliols per aero, with tho best aero making n ylold of 4.7 1-2 bushels. As tho ayorago ylold In tho United States for tho past 10 years Is but 25.8 bushels per aero It wll bo pocn that Mr. Mcrrlman's crop was a very creditable one. Mr. Mcrriam's farm Is one mllo southeast' of Central Point anil- tho land on Which' Jio grow tho cornis n second bottom f only nvorage for tllity. No Irrigation' nor fertilizers were tlsed. In favorable cllmatlc'sea sons Mr. "Morrlman has had average yields of oVor C6 busliols to tho acre, Tp careftily selecting tho need cars each year and to dcop plowing and thorough cultivation is duo Mr. Mer rman' success as a corn grower. For a number of ycats Mr. Morrlman has early each fall selected Ills seed corn ho choosing pnly cars that aro perfect Hi shape and Kernel apd Hint nrthor oiighly matured. And lio takos tho further precaution to keep this seod corn in a dry place during tho win- tor, thus Insuring tho vitality of tho gorm and a perfect stand, ' Dy his method of selecting tho seed Mr. Merriman has bred tip a typo of corn that has adapted Itself to tho growing season of this valley and la able to withstand tho cooLnlghts ami with tho aid ot tho long growing period to fully mature tho ears. That norn from eastern seed will not do well hero is duo to tho fact that (if most of tho com growing states tho seasons aro short with hot nights ami hotter days that force a hot-houso growth to the corn. Hero in Itoguo river valley tho weather condition Is Just tho rovcrso and n corn must bo developed that can mature Itoolf by reason or tho long growing season, compensating for the retarding in fluence of the cool weather. TJio corn breeding that Is bolng carried on by many or tho farmers In tho val Joy Is ddvoloplng tt straiu or corn that In quality and In ylold will fully equal tho best production of Uo castoru corn growing states.
