MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD. OREGON1, MOyDAY, OCTOBER 19. 1936
FEDERAL SPENDING
OF GREAT BENEF
TO ROGUE VALLEY
Irrigation Districts Saved
By Government Funds
Heavy Debt Burdens Re
moved, Assessments Cut,
(Editor's Note: This Is the second
of a series of articles showing the
economy and other benefit of fed
eral government Investment In Jack
son county. The first article, pub'
Ushed yesterday, dealt with the
Medford Irrigation district. This one
tells of the refinancing of the other
Irrigation districts of the valley. An
other article will appear shortly).
Like the others In the Rogue river
valley, the Gold Hill Irrigation dis
trict was organized under state law.
It comprises about 1000 acres of land
below Cold Hill.
Water for the district Is diverted
from the Rogue river. The csnai
aystem was built on a coat-plus basis
from the proceeds of a 101.800 bond
lasue.
District In Default
As In the case of the other die
trlcts, the Gold Hill Irrigation die
trlct was severely affected by the de
pression. By 1033 the district hsd
defaulted on Its bond Interest to the
approximate amount of (8700. In
addition It had Issued 112,000 In
warrants.
Under the government's reflnanc
lng plan the bonds and outstanding
Indebtedness of the district wore re
tired for 938,000, new 33-year 4 per
eent bonds being Issued to cover the
government's Investment.
It will bo seen that the net sav
ing to the farmers of the Gold Hill
Irrigation district was about 444,000.
In addition needed repairs and main
tenance Improvements were made.
Assessments Cut
Under the original set-up the as
sessment for Irrigation was 910.00 an
acre yearly. This charge was to sv
er operation, maintenance, adminis
tration, Interest and bond retirement,
the original bonds hearing 0 per eent
Interest.
Under the reflnsnclng plan, the aa
flessmenta for all purposes were re
duced to 94.00 an sere yearly.
The Eagle Point Irrigation district
was organized In the same way. It
bad 0 per cent bonds outstanding In
the principal amount of 9351,000.
When government aid waa sought, the
district was delinquent In Ita inter
est payments for ten years In the
approximate sum of 900.340. In sd
dltlon It owed the state 9120,000 be
sides 970.000 In Internet. This made
a total debt of 9037.340.
Having 9514,240
With government assistance, the
district waa enabled to retire Its debt
for 903,000, the federal Investment
being secured by 33-year 4 per cent
bonds.
The refinancing accomplished an
approximate saving of 9044.340 for
the farmers of the district. The an
nual assessment for Irrigation waa re
duced from abqut 910 to 90 an acre.
6ome of the finest orchards of the
valley are In the Talent Irrigation
district. Prior to government refin
ancing the district had outstanding e
per cent bonds aggregating 91,040,000
In addition the district was faced
with an Interest debt of 9310 000, a
state debt or 9201.160 and accumulat
ed Interest on the latter of about
938,000. This made a total Indebted
ness of 11,484,106.
Million-Dollar Saving
The district wss refinanced by the
government for 9430 000. 83-year I
per cent bonus being Issued as st
curlty. Thus the direct asvlng to
the landowners of the district was
more than 91,000,000.
Prior to the refinancing. Irrigation
assessments ran from 90.00 to 913 an
acre annually. Under the new ict-tip
assessments are 90 Bn acre.

AGAJNST NEW DEAL
Supreme Court Refuses Re
view Of Litigation Chal
lenging Constitutionality
Of Three Measures
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (AP)
The government won tactical vic
tories in the supreme court today
when the nine Justice refused to re
view litigation challenging the con
stltutlonallty of three new deal laws.
The court declined to pass on an
appeal filed by J, Edward Jones,
New York securities dealer, question
ing the constitutionality of the 1033
truth In aecurltlea" act requiring
registration of stocks before public
sale.
It also refused to review an attack
on provisions of the national Indus
trial recovery act and of the 1035
emergency relief appropriation meas
ure authorizing government loans
and grants for construction of publicly-owned
electric plants.
On Procedural Grounds
The action taken waa purely on
procedural grounds and had no di
rect relation to the merits of the
legislation.
The only statement made by the
court wna that the appeals were
'denied." The government had op
posed a review of tho controversies.
Oovernment loans for electric
plants were sssalled by the Texas
Utilities company and the Alabama
Power company In an effort to atop
construction of plants In eight Texaa
and Alabama cities,
A review of a similar controversy,
appealed by the Duke Power com
pany, already had been promised by
the court and arguments are to be
heard the week of November 3.
The Textut and Alabama companies
lost In the federn district court for
the District of Columbia and asked
the supreme court to review the case,
without awaiting a ruling by the
circuit court, so It could be argued
along with the Duke appesl. Such
procedure Is permitted occasionally.
Injunction I'phrld
In the Jones case, the second cli-
cult court of appeals at New York
upheld a temporary Injunction to re-
itrffln him from violating the act.
The court refused to review an ap
peal by John Jacob Antor and Waldorf
Astor In their effort to recover 10,-
810,856 of federal estato taxes paid
on Mfl.421,545 of property left them
by their father, tho late William
Waldorf Astor oi Great Britain, who
died In 1010.

keen Interest In the many Improve
ments of the fairgrounds organization,
most of which have been added In the
last year. Capt. Albert T. Anderson,
detachment commander, and senior
foreman, Frank Robinson, accom
panied the Inspector tbrough the
camp.
The dingy canvas-walled corner of

situation in Oregon, written for this newspaper by Dr. James H. Gilbert,

Effect on Education Will School
Keep?
(By James II. Gilbert)
Defeat of the twenty mill llmlta
tlon In 1034 was traceable largely to
the popular concern arjout lta effect
on education. It must not be assum
ed that the present tax limitation
measure la less dangerous to public
education.
The reductions called for are not
comprehended in the gradual annual
reductions of four per cent. In 33
counties property assessments must
decline in 0 counties as much aa 30
por cent. Even assuming a normal
levy for school purposes In 1035, It
means an immediate cut In school
budgets of 30 per cent In a Blngle
yesr before the graded annual re
ductions become effective.
In Crook county where the county
unit system has cut oxpenses to the
baro minimum, a total reduction of
33 per cent must be made before
1043. It must be recalled also that
both, elementary and high school dis
tricts carry considerable debts. As in
the case of cities, Interest and sink
ing fund obligations are a first
claim. All cuts must come out of
operating budgets. The operating
budgets of Crook county schools must
come down 43 per cent by 1043,

In Eugene, a typical city district, a
40 per cent reduction In operating
expenses will be necessary by 1042.
With salaries down to the minimum
and equipment impaired to tne de
pression level, such reductions are
Impossible and fatal to educational
efficiency.
Higher education also will ,uffer.
Since 1031 the sole support of In
struction In university, college and
normal schools camea from a fixed
mlllage on property valuatlona. Since
that year 9474.000 annually haa been
lost from higher education budgets
by tho shrinkage of mlllage receipts.
With the foil term of 1035 enroll
ments are back to the peak and the
demanda upon the system for public
services of various kinds .enormously
increased.
In tbe light of these demanda from
within and without, It does not seem
reasonable to adopt an amendment
which via strike 9108,000.000 from
assessed valuations and cause an
other loss of 9175,000 annually io
n.lllage receipts.
In addition to other objections, the
limitation amendment la wholly In
consistent with reasonable standards
in public education. Friends ol edu
cation should ask tne . question
