FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1931. Legislative News State Grange Service During the past weejs the State Grange legislative com mittee, Chas. C. Hulet, F. J. Tooze and M. S. Shrock, have received communications frçm one hundred eighty subordinate and Pomona granges covering forty-seven measures. It is not necessary to repeat our approval of the grange mea sures provided for at the last election. We expect our repre sentatives to carry out the man date of the people. All the communications re ceived indicate that the grange members are still one hundred percent for the grange power bill, for the so-called adminstra- tion bills and for a higher license on oleomargarine as a butter substitute. Present reports from the Uni ted States Bureau of Agricul ture indicate a very slow recov ery of agriculture during the coming biennium. In view of this situation and the very heavy tax rate on real property in Ore gon and the state debt and def icit, the grange protests strongly any increase in salary for any state employees at this time. We call attention to the fact that all wage earners have now re ceived automatically a salary increase in the lowered cost of products of the farm. The grange has been advo cating tax on incomes, as a source of relief from the high tax on property for a quarter of a century. The returns from the granges now indicate that there is no change with decided dis favor from the grange. The grange advocates the in troduction of a resolution urging the legislative assembly to adopt a memorial to Congress asking that body to grant independence to the Philippine Islands, as such independence was promised more than thirty years ago when the Philippines had developed a stable form of government. Such a gov ernment has now been established in the Islands. The grange oppeses legislation that would appropriate any funds for the purpose of attracting ad ditional farmers to Oregon. The grange looks with disfa vor upon the proposals for re tiring allowance with state con tributions. The grange believes that the people of Oregon do not desire to create, outside the penal and charitable institutions, another permanently dependent class. In the new game code the property owners want protect ion against trespass on private property, suggesting a written permit. Practically all bird hunt ing is done on farm property, and private property must have some protection from hunters. There is a strong demand for a one dollar county hunting and fishing license. The grange resents the use of the emergency clause except in real emergency. The grange believes the emer gency board should be abolished or curbed. The grange strongly disap proves any attempt to change the Industrial Accident Commission. WOULD GRADE CREAM A bill which has created more than usual discussion in Senate Bill 228, providing for cream grading. There are primarily four grades established in this bill: 1. First grade cream contains not more than 20 per cent lactic acid having a desirable flavor and odor and smooth texture. 2. Second grade cream has a slight feed flavor, or lacks the VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON fine flavor required for extra grade. Sour cream containing not more than 6 per cent lactic acid and free from undesirable flavor is also of this grade. 3. Third grade cream, sweet or sour, weedy, feed, acidy, yeasty, metallic, or other undesirable flavor. 4. Fourth grade cream, sweet or sour, has been treated by mech anical or chemical means for the purpose of changing its o- dor, flavor, consistency of tex ture. When cream of a lower grade is mixed with cream of a higher grade the resulting mixture shall be that of the lower grade there in. Cream that has a mouldy, tal lowy, rancid, decomposed, gas oline, disinfectent or other ob- jectional flavor, or which con tains any material not naturally found in milk or cream shall not be made into any product used for human food. This proposed law contains no penalty for non-observance. It is really an educational measure.

PEOPLES’ UTILITY DISTRICTS (Grange Power Bill) Senate bill 168, relating to and providing for peoples’ utility ditsricts, met with little opposi tion in public hearing. A representative of the Great er Oregon Association, one of the big interest organizations which fought the passage of the Peo ples’ Utility Districts constitu tional amendment, offered two amendments. One of these amendments would result in exemption from the operation of this act lumber areas which would not be served. However, it was interpreted by friends of the measure to in clude all areas including valuable tracts and even buildings whose owners claim no service. The other amendment offered provided for a system of accounts to be under supervision of the utility commission. U. S. Army Puts Rubber Tires on Its Artillery Washington.—The rumble of ar tillery caBSlons on steel rimmed wheels probably will be replaced by the swish of rubber tires on con crete roads in any future war, ac cording to tbe annual report of Maj. Gen. Harry G. Bishop, chief of army artillery. Describing the new and revolu tlonary development In artillery since World war days, Bishop said the army, during the last year, had built and tested two supermodern 75 mm. gun mounts. Both are capable of all-around and aerial fire. Also, both have pneumatic tires, anti-frlctlon bearings, and sprung carriages. Plans are being made for a sim ilar gun In the 155 mm. 8-lnch how- itzer class. It will have a pedes tal type mount and will be capable of elevation between 0 and 65 degrees, and of traversing 30 de green on either side the center. Further It will be capable of go ing Into and out of position quickly. Weighing 5,000 pounds less thau the present 155 mm. gun used by the army, it will be able to cross lighter bridges In safety. Other modern additions to army artillery during the last year have been caterpillar tractors for two motorized divisional field artillery units, and 24 four-wheel drive cargo trucks, General Bishop said.
