Livestock Men Say
Names Should Not
Appear as Sponsors
Salem (U.R) Two officials
of the Western Oregon Live
stock association say their
names should not have appeared
as ' co-sponsor of a House bill
amending the brand inspection
law.
Albert Julian of Linn county,
chairman of a stockmen's com
mittee which studied the law,
said it decided to go along with
it. Vice-president Hubert Wil
loughby of Harrisburg said he
learned of the bill only a few
days ago.
Rep. Robert Steward (D-Keat-ing),
chairman of the House
Livestock committee and him
self a Baker county stockman,
said he had been assured by the
Oregon Cattlemen's association
that it was joined by. the other
stockmen's groups in wanting
the changes.
Would Reduce Fees
The bill would reduce the fee
per head of cattle from 30 cents
to 15 cents, would exempt
calves under six months, and
would add a special assessment
of 10 cents a head for all cattle
and horses over 6 months old
and subject to taxation as per
sonal property.
This plan would save money
for the dairymen who have op
posed that system, Ed Coles of
Prineville, representing the Cat
tlemen's association said.
But several Willamette valley
dairymen said they and their
county assessor oppoe the plan
anyway, because of the nigh
cost expected in collecting the
assessment separately from the
inspection fees now paid as cat
tle are sold.
A. R. Dickson, Klamath coun
ty assessor, said his office,
which has just changed its book
keeping to conform with a re
appraisal of property, would
have to revise its system com
pletely again to Collect the
assessment.
Among stockmen objecting to
the proposed changes in' the law
were Karl Arnold of Linn coun
ty, Paul M. Rigord of the Ben
ton County Farm Bureau feder
ation, Rue Drager of Salem and
Jack Cochran of Brownsville.

Salem (U.R) A bill that
would free the Multnomah Ken
nel club to hold dog races on
horse race tracks, like those at
Portland Meadows and the Mult
nomah county fairgrounds, has
the unanimous endorsement ' of
the House State and Federal Af
fairs committee.
The measure, approved by the
committee Friday afternoon,
will be ready for third reading
and final action on the floor of
the House early next week.
There has been talk of moving
Portland's Coast league baseball
from the Vaughn street ball
park to Multnomah stadium,
which would force dog racers
to seek a new location. Present
law prohibits dogs from being
raced on the same track as other
race animals. .The bill would
remove that prohibition.
A proposed memorial to Con
gress opposing a congressional
resolution allowing the presi
dent to negotiate tariff reduc
tions was first tabled by the
committee and then removed
from the table and "placed in
the back of the book." The ac
tion was expected to remove
the measure from further consideration.
The committee heard sharply
opposed testimony on a reso
lution favoring establishment of
a medical coroner system in the
state before it tabled the reso
lution. Proposed Amendment .
The measure would have
placed on the ballot a proposed
constitutional amendment to
permit counties to make li
censed physicians only eligible
for the office of coroner. It
would have been permissive leg
islation if approved.
Appearing on behalf of the
resolution were representatives
of the State Medical society and
Mrs. Lars Frederickson, Albany
funeral director. Osteopaths and
chiropractors also approved the
bill if it had been amended
so as not to discriminate against
them.
Opposing the bill were nu
merious mortician coroners who
said it would be Impossible to
get doctors in their counties to
take the job as coroner due to
the demands of the job and the
prevailing practice of paying no
salary.

Red Cross Slates
Drive for Funds
Outside of City
- A drive for funds In areas
of the county not served by the
United Medford Crusade will be
started Tuesday,. March. 1, by
the Jackson county chapter of
the American Red Cross, it was
announced Saturday.
The campaign will "runT for
three weeks. Manville Heisel,
chairman of the drive, explain
ed that the drive will not dupli
cate the UMC effort in Medford,
for the Red Cross receives funds
from the Crusade.
He has requested all commit
tee members and volunteer
workers to complete their assign
ments as soon as possible so the
drive can be completed on
schedule;.-
The total Red Cross . budget
in Jackson county this year is
$27,555, of which $19,500 is sup
plied by-the 'United Medford
Crusade. The balance, $8,055, is
being sought in the current drive
outside .Medford.
Heisel explained that the budg
et is "rock bottom," was planned
carefully and was reduced to the
lowest figure that will maintain
services now being supplied to
the community.
The drive chairman added that
the areas in which the $8,055 are
to be raised have a total popu
lation of some 50,000 people, so
on a per capita basis, the amount
totals 16 cents per person, a low
cost for the services provided,
he said.
Sidney Ainsworth, Ashland, is
chairman of the drive in that
area. Temporary offices in Ash
land are being set up in the
Lithia hotel.
Many Services
The overall budget includes
such things as administrative
expense, blood program, disaster
preparedness and relief, nursing
services, safety services, includ
ing first aid and water safety;
junior red cross, Grey Ladies,
hospital and motor services, pro
duction and supplies, and others.
Some of the money goes to
the National Red Cross for its
work, including disaster relief.
