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

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.
