DAIRYMEN ASK
HIGHER PRICE
ON BUTTERFAT
(Continued from Page One)
with the present demand and
prlea for feed, and with buyers
in the country seeking cows for
herds in California and else
where, there is no practical rea
son why they should stay with
a continuously losing proposi
tion. Some of them said they
had stayed in so far only be
cause of loyalty to the country
and the community. Losses run
ning into thousands of dollars
were reported. '
It was reported that 76 milk
cows were bought and shipped
out of the Klamath milkshed last
Criticise OPA
There was general criticism of
the OPA at the meeting,- with
speakers expressing the opinion
that the OPA ceiling did not take
into consideratlori all the factors
Involved in the dairyman's cost
situation. Some opinion was
voiced that tne persons who set
the ceiling did not know enough
about the dairy business.
The meeting, however, lacked
the bitterness which has report
edly characterized similar gath
erings In other Oregon commun
ities where dairymen at this time
are generally agitating against
OPA ceilings. The Klamath pro
ducers said they did not want to
take any radical action, but In
listed relief would have to come
or disposal of milk cows was
bound .to follow the start, of
feeding in September.

The Dalles Viewed -.
It was reported that at The
illes. where dairymen had
asked for relief, the butterfat
ceiling was raised from 85 cents
to 95 cents.
The Klamath dairymen consid
ered asking for $1.10. but it was
decided to cut the request to $1
as the absolute minimum figure,
and to oppose any compromise
on a lower price. ' Lee Holliday,
who presided at the meeting, was
authorized to appoint a commit
tee to work with distributors in
seeking relief from the OPA.
No OPA officials were present
at the meeting.
' Allen Statement
David Allen, price specialist
for the local OPA office, made
the following statement Thurs
day concerning the Klamath
milk price situation:
OPA will consider an adjust
ment of the price ceiling on milk
only on the basis of a specific
and authenticated showing that
a continuation of the present
ceiling will result in a shortage
of mUk, and that this shortage
Will be corrected by raising the
price.
' Show Hardship
Producers would also have to
show that financially they are
suffering substantial hardship as
compared with . their position
previous to price control.
- Allen said that no adjustment
could be made on the basis of
hearsay. He said the OPA of
fice here has forms available up
on which cost statements may be
formally given. A comparative
profit and loss statement must
also be given and OPA offered
its help In preparing such state
ments. Allen added OPA is willing to
hold a meeting on the matter.
Pulp Paper Scarcity
May Harm War Effort
NEW YORK; Aug. 12 UPt
The American Newspaper Pub
lishers association said today in
an analysis of the paper scarcity
that maximum efforts would be
necessary "to avert not only a
calamity to the pulp and paper
industry of the United States
and Canada but serious Impair
ment of the war effort."
"The products of the Industry
have a much higher degree of es
sentiality than is generally rec
ognized, especially In some gov
ernment circles in both coun
tries," the ANPA said in a bul

FOR TAX REFUND
SALEM, Aug. 12 The Ore
gon tax commission and county
judges of two counties in which
large military camps are located
appealed today to a house pub
lic lands sub-committee for re
imbursement by the government
of taxes lost to the counties when
the government takes over pri
vate lands.
Charles Galloway, chairman
of the state tax commission, told
the committee at a hearing here
today that operations of county;
city and other local govern
ments are "seriously Impaired"
by government acquisition of
lands. He said tne government
now owns 60 per cent of all land
in the state of Oregon. -
The state government, how
ever, is not impaired because the
state functions are financed by
Income taxes. But the schools.
for instance, rely almost exclu
sively on property taxes.
BE
BEND, Aug. 12 VP) The De
schutes river pollution case, sub
ject of court action, will be sub
mitted to the state sanitary auth
ority - for investigation and re
port.
This move was suggested by
George H. Brewster, attorney
for Redmond and three irrigation
districts who charged that a new
ly constructed swimming pool
here polluted the river.
The pool was constructed by
the Bend school district, and is
used by hundreds of school chil
dren and soldiers.
Bend and the school district
have agreed to accept the find
ings of the sanitary commission.
Milk Problem at
Bend Still Unsolved
BEND, Aug. 12 (JPh-After a
series of conferences between
OPA and city officials. Bend's
milk problem still was unsolved
today.
Blair Stewart, OPA's district
price officer and W. H. McCar
gar, representing the OPA food
section, were closeted with city
commissioners and others last
night and today. The press was
excluded from the city commis
sion meeting last night, but it
was learned that action was not
taken on the proposed tax sub
sidy plan by which a tax would
be levied on milk for the bene
fit of producers.
When Illinois territory became
a member of the Union on De
cember 3, 1818, it lacked 19,742
of the population stipulated for
statehood by the Ordnance- of
1787.

of Morgan's statement, he said
