Favor Hands Off Policy For
Government Until Laws
Passed To Provide Equiv
alent For Tax Returns.
County Commissioner rtalpb 8.
Billings of Ashland, secretary of the
executive committee of the eighteen
western Oregon counties, coming
the Oregon and California, land
grant tax refund law, has returned
from Eugene where he attended a
conference of the committee on a
new program, to be followed by the
Jand grant counties.
In the closing sessions of their
meeting the committee members
passed a resolution that It Is the
sense of that committee that no
approval of federal acquisition of
privately owned timber land should
be made by the Oregon board of
forest conservation and that no con
sent for such approval should be
given by any county court until
the United States government shall
have provided by appropriate legis
lation for the payment by the gov
ernment of the equivalent of taxes
upon any timber lands acquired
from private ownership.
Iteromtnr mint Ions Drawn
Recommenatlons of the executive
committee, anent the Oregon-California
land grant counties policy, to
be submitted to the state planning
board proposes that the grant lands
be handled on a yield basts, deemed
to be equal to 25 per cent of the
annual sustained yield of the grant,
with two nurpOHes, (1 ) to build
a new state cnpltol, (2) to estab
lish an irreducible fund, the inter
est from which would be used for
reforestation and as a perpetuity or
Requisition, protection, and admin
istration of state-owned forests.
The committee further r-nm-mended,
according to Commissioner
BlUlngs;
"That lmtead of the transfer ol

basis that it expect to acquire prl

gon Its beneficial interest In It. The
value of the grant Is reasonably
820.000,000, based on a stand ot
40.000,000,000 feet of timber at 60
cents a thousand as an average
value.
"The grant would be reduced in
amount substantially 7,000.000.000
to take care of the deficit to the
government and between $500,000
and $1,000,000 to take care of county
accrued claims, the total reduction
being $8,000,000, leaving $12,000,

the balance of $10,000,000 there
should be set aside whatever la nec

COLD STORAGE
CONFUSING TO TRADE
PORTLAND, July 17. (AP)
Rather liberal withdrawals from
storage were suggested In the egg
trade, much to the confusion of the
market generally. Absence of enforce
ment of the new egg law was sug
gested as one particular reason -for
the unfair competition reported In
some quarters. There were no price
changes.
There was no change of moment In
the butter trade situation. Rather
liberal decrease in churning opera
tions continued to be shown by cen
trallzers and the country.
Trading tone in the live poultry
market continued to reflect steadi
ness at least with strength In spots
for good broilers. Turkeys were find
ing favor again but only for a- fair
volume. Some new crop broilers were
arriving.
Slightly stronger tone was sug
gested for apricots here although
primary points and especially central
Washington suggested higher prices
generally with decreasing stocks.
Dalles quality was the best.
First Crawford peaches were in for
the season, the Initial, supply being
from Penland, Calir. Good sizes were
shown and the price Initially placed
$1.26. Local Alexanders were of un
usually good quality and selling well.
