Rural Mail Boxes.
The rural free delivery box commission,
recently appointed by the postmaster
general, to select an approved list of
mail boxes for rural routes, commenced
its sessions in Washington last week.
The commission is to decide the question
whether the farmer must purchase a box
of the pattern approved by the depart­
ment, or whether the department should
permit the erection of boxes by patrons
who desire to select them without limi­
tation or restriction.
The box commission which met last
year approved fourteen styles of boxes,
one of which it was necessary for each
rural patron to erect when a new route
was established. At that time the rural
free delivery system bail not developed
into its present magnitude. The rapid
growth of the service during the last j
year has brought about condition not
looked for last year, and resulted in the J
selection of this commission to deter- |
mine whether the present system of box)
selection should be continued or whether!
specifications for the building of boxes
should be adopted.
if it is indeed inevitable that all impor­
tant enterprise« and undertakings are
to be in the hands of corporations, then |
the strong hand of the government
must contrôle and regulate the corpor i- :
tions for the protection of the people.
This must be done if the corporations
are not to be permitted to control the
government and the sooner there is
legislation for this purpose the better.
If the limitations imposed by the fed­
eral constitution are found to be two
narrow that instrument should be so
amended as to give congress the amplest
authority to provide for the control and
regulation of corporations by the gov­
ernment.

Politics make strange bedfellows. For
instance. Two years ago Senator Jos.
Simon was in the saddle and he was the
leading factor in politics in Multnomah
county, with the Oregonian supporting
the regular republican ticket. In opposi­
tion to this was the Mitchell wing of the
republican party, who went into a collu­
sion with the taxpayers’ league and the
democrats, who carried their legislative
ticket, much to the surprise of those who
had previously obtained their political
gospel from the Oregonian, and more so.

Oregon milk is rich. So large is its

permitted by law, from 3 to 3.5 percent.
“Oregon has the best dairy conditions
in the United States.” says Mr. Bailey.
“It is a land of milk and honey, of the
richest milk and the sweetest honey on
earth. Cows are so well favored here
that they will noteven notice the change
in the law for, they are now yielding
over 3.5 per cent of butter fat.”
The many tests of milk that Mr.
Bailey makes every day have convinced
him he is on the right track. These
tests seldom show under 4 per cent, and
over. If other districts of the United
States less adapted to dairying enforce
3.5 per cent, Oregon can, he argues.
In
the district of Columbia, in Georgia,
and in Mienesota, the legal minimum is
3.5, and in Massachusetts 3.7. In Iowa,
Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Washington and Wisconsin it is 3 per
cent.
Mr. Bailey does not expect opposition,
except from owners of Holstein cows.
In these animals he recognizes a hard
problem. They yield a very large quan­
tity of milk and a small percentage of
butte fat. For example, of 13 Holstein
cows exhibited at Buffalo, only four
reached the a verage of 3 per cent. The
Holstein cow which ’took second prize
at the last Oregon State Fair reached an
a verage considerably above this, and a
daily yield of 50 pounds of milk.
In
the East the content of fat has been in­
creased by selective breeding of Holstein
cows.
Richard Scott, of Milwaukie, a promi­
nent dairyman and livestock breeder,
said yesterday that he did not believe
the proposed new law could be enforced.
“The low average of Holstein cows stand
in the way,” he said. “If a man’s cow
gives milk, sav of a 2.5 average, 1 do
not think he could be arrested tinder the
pure-food law.’’—Oregonian.
