JUDGE DAY GIVES
Representatives From Land
Grant Counties Gather in
Roseburg for Review of
New Government Policy
ROSEBURO. Ore.. Aug. 38. (API
Repreeentatlvee from Oregon land
grant counties today heard a detailed
report of the work of special com
mittee which went to Washington,
D. C to represent the asaoclatlon of
18 counties In connection with the
bill setting up a new edmlnlatratlon
policy for the lands.
The reports were given by County
Judge Earl B. Day of Jackson county;
ex-County Judge Victor P. Moai of
Benton county, and Attorney Guy
Cordon of Roseburg, legal advisor to
the association, who composed the
committee.
The bill recently passed by con
gress places the revested O. and O.
lands under a perpetual timber cut
ting plan: provides psyment to the
counties of 80 per cent of all reve
nues, with 25 per cent to be paid to
counties on the delinquency accumu
lated since 1833. and 35 per cent to
be used for administrative purposes.
Stanfleld Act Repealed
The new bill repeals the Stanfleld
aot. under which counties were au
thorized to collect an annual amount
equal to taxes which would have
been paid under private ownership.
The county representatives assem
bled in Eoseburg today were told
that the committee was successful In
securing an amendment to the origi
nal form of the bill, providing that
timber should be cut, up to the max
imum capacity of the forest and
market. This was essential. It was
pointed out by Judge Day, In order
to assure an annual income to me
counties.
An effort was made to secure a re
duction in the proportion of Income
going to administration costs, he
said, but showing! were made that
administration could not be sworn
pltshed for less.
Chance for More
A provision, however, was secured
whereby, after the existing delin
quency Is paid from the 25 per cent
allotted to that purpose, the counties
will receive up to 15 per cent addl
ttonal If the arnual Income falls to
reach the 80 per cent of the annual
payment made under the Stanfleld
act.
The bill provides that after the
delinquency of county claims Is re
tired, the federal government shall
retain the 35 per cent, or such share
not paid to the counties to bring
payments up to the 80 per cent of
former Income, to be applied to the
deficit accumulated by the govern
ment in advancing mone under the
Stanfleld bill. After the deficit has
been retired, the entire 33 per cent
will go to the counties.
