Homestead Bill Sponsored By VFW Shady Cove Post Shady Cove, Feb. 1 Among new bills being placed before the 81st congress this session will be one for reenactment of the homestead law allowing fil ing of claims on public lands by private individuals, thus bring ing back on the tax rolls land that has been under government control since 1933. A resolution favoring this bill was prepared and placed before steeinead Fost bbhi vrw, Shady Cove, for action at a reg ular meeting last May. After passage by that group it was taken to Coos Bay in July to the Oregon convention of the Veter ans of Foreign Wars by delegates from Steelhead post and present ed on the convention floor. The resolution was passed by unani mous vote and forwarded to the National VFW convention at Mi ami, Fla., and thence to the na tional legislative committee and was docketed in congress in Jan uary. . Federal Control Cited The resolution is centered around the fact that over 50 per cent of the land in Oregon is now under federal control, as is the case in California and Washing ton, and about 70 per cent in Nevada, according to the Steel head post sponsors. This situation, it is pointed out, places a serious strain on the state land tax. Actually thousands of acres of these states are very suitable for home build ings and farms that, if opened to private ownership, would not only add greatly to the real property tax revenue but would add substantially to the expan sion of farm industry. If passed . the , new law will conform generally to the origi nal homestead law, probably al lowing up to 160 acres per eligi ble person, and will carry the veteran's preference clause, ac cording to the sponsors. Service It Aim The members of Post 6881 have set out to maintain a pro aram of community service in cooperation with other members and organizations of the commu nity, a spokesman declared, add ing that community service is al so one of the major policies pro noted by the national headquar 'rs of the Veterans of Foreign Wars for all posts. 1 Steelhead post representatives voiced the belief that the enact-1 ment of a homestead law would t create a need lor large amounts of materials and that in addition to other values this would add considerably to business ,in the western states. Japanese Farmers Of Lake Labish Overpaid By $17,500 Judge Rules Salem, Ore., Feb. 1 (U.R) A case dating back to the war days of 1942 came up for deci sion today in Marion county cir cuit court. And Judge Rex Kimmell not only held for Ronald Jones, Lake Labish farmer aiid presi dent of the Oregon Farmers' union; he found that Japanese farmers of Lake Labisli who brought a suit against Junes, had themselves been overpaid by $17,500. The action was brought against Jones by Hirroshi Ka neko, representing all Japanese in the Lake Labish Celery Grow ers' co-operative. The plaintiffs sought $30,000 from Jones, set ting forth that he had been paid that amount which rightfully be longed to the Japanese. Farmed By Japs , Before the war, nearly all the fabulously rich Lake Labish area had been farmed by Jap anese. They already had their crops planted when Uncle Sam ordered them evacuated to de tention camps early in 1942. The crops already planted would have gone to waste unless they were tended. So other mem bers of the Lake Labish coopera tive decided that Jones, who had been leasing the land to the Japs, should assume full control of harvesting the crop. Jones hired help and supervised farm! ing and harvesting of the celery. Profit for the area in question in 1942 amounted to $172,518. Of the total, one-half was given to the detained Japanese who had planted the crop and the other half went to the co-op for harvesting it. Out of the co-op's half, bon uses were paid to the workers. $100 an Acra Rent Jones continued to lease the land to members of the co-op throughout the war. He received $100 an acre rent on the celery producing land. About a year ago, the co-op agreed to pay Jones $30,000 for his services in supervising the 1942 harvest and as a medium of rent adjustments for 1946-48, years during which Jones con tinued to charge only $100 an acre although rental values had gone up to $200. The Japanese claimed that the $30,000 should have been paid to them instead of to Jones. They Wednesday, February 1, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE School Pupils Visit Mail Tribune Office Nineteen pupils from Mrs. Mildred Hobbs' journalism class at Christ's Church of the Golden Rule high school at Lake Creek were Medford Mail Tribune visit tors yesterday. Students shown through the editorial, advertising, mechani cal, and business departments of the paper were: Murray Babis. Loretta Cox. ' Ruth and Pal Downs, Sherry Frische, Louis Fleharty, George Gore, Lynal Gallant, Dottie Fred, Nancy, Patty, and Thomas Hanson, Mar cia Haytn, Gary Hobbs. Patsy Mayrien, Ann Newnham, and Philip Lengner, said Jones had assumed control without proper authority to do so. Payment Held Fair Judge Kimmell in his decision today held that the payment to Jones was fair, then found .that the Japanese had been paid $17,574 more than they were en titled to. This amount was one half of the total bonuses paid to the workers in 1942. How ever, indications were no move would be made to recover this amount from the Japanese.
