It is unlawful for a school director
to have pecuniary benefit in any way
in connection with "the erection of
school houses, or for the winning, ven
tilating, furnishing or repairing the
same, or to accept or receive any com
pensation for his services rendered as 8
member bf the board," points out At
torney General Brown ni an opinion giv
en to I'red E. Schmidt, district attorney
at Pendleton.
District Attorney Schmidt cited two
instances to tho attorney general. In
one case he 14-year-old daughter of a
school director was acting as janitor
ef the school building and receiving a
compensation for the work. The at
torney general held that if the daughter
retains tho money she earns and the
school director receives no pecuniary
benefit therefrom the law has not been
violated. '
In the other instance members of the
school board cleared, plowed and leveled
the school grounds and were paid from
tho school funds for the work. The at
torney general holds that if the work
was in any way connected with the con
struction of a school building it would
be in violation of the law. ,

cording to a report of the aduiinistra
tors filed with the state treasurer, who

figuring the inheritance tax, as Deputy
Stato Treasurer Eyan said today that
tho real proporty is appraised at less
tlian its assessed value and he consider
ed the appraisemont too low. The pro
perty is located in Portland.
The real property is appraised at
$2.12,700 and is assessed at $273,175, a
difference 0f $20,475.

Tho plan of allowing a profit of 2J
cents a barrel net, under which the

aoncd. It was tho operation of thic
plan -which led to charges of profit
eering by tho federal . trado commis

and big mills, with a low cost of opera
tion, had no difficulty in disposing of

tne cost ot muling is based with refer
ence to small capacity, hk'h. cost mills.

EASTERN BUYERS
A100F0N PRUNES
Would Bear Market and
Force Price Below Gov
trnment Figure
The eastern buyers of prunes oro not
reconciled ito the prices as established
by tho government, according to offers
that aro being received by the packing
houses in tho city.
Monday, July 15, was tho first day
that the government permitted tho
packers to accept contracts and since
then the packing houses in the city
havo been deluged with telegrams of
fering certain figures for prunes, but
not quito up to the figures established
by the government fts a maximum price
In other words, while there is a. maxi
mum, price established to prevent spec
ulation, tho eastern buyers aro attempt
ing to bear tho market.
Tho Uragcr Fruit company reports
that tho eastern trade is not taking
freely to tho government's maximum
price and that whilo the government
has bought all the 50 60 prunes of this
1918 crop, tho big buyers in the east
aro endeavoring to get as fur away
from the maximum price as possible.
While there is this maximum price,
there is nothing to prevent the eastern
buyers from buying bclrw tho market,
providing they can scaro some packers
into accepting contracts ot a low fig
ure. There was some reports of a few
weak kneed packers selling under tne
maximum market, but it is thought
these reports are untruo.
The big run of prunes this year will
bo 40, 50 and 60 ' and very few 30 's
ns tho crop Tvas heavy, and the season
was unusually dry.
