ie 2 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1932 OREGON I$ FAMOUS FOR SCENIC BEAUTY ~ANDFINE HIGHWAYS; State Has Its Own Troubles, | With Low Fruit Prices | and High Taxes | By GEORGE D. MANN | Medford, Ore., Aug. 12—Oregon is} famous for scenic beauty. Wonder-; ful highways have been built, not al-/ ways to bring trade to cities but often to open up panaromic views of sur- passing beauty and delightful vistas. ‘When tourists pour into this state,) trade of course follows, but this year} travel is from 30 to 40 per cent below) normal. Oregon, like California, has suffered a slump in its crop of joy- riders, but the Oiympic games have kept the flow of business greater than was anticipated. Small Population With a state possessing a popula- tion of less than a million and only one great city, Portland, Oregon, has done an excellent job of highway building. Its engineers have conquer- ed many obstacles and today you can Teach an elevation of 8,000 or 10,000 feet over paved highways which wind upward in gentle grades. It is the; boast of this city, which is the gate- way to the famous Crater Lake Na- tional Park, that you can reach the/| lake “on high” or the interesting! Oregon Caves in the Siskiyou Na- tional forest without shifting gears. Few states in the union have a na- tional park, sc~ -al national monu- ments and great federal forests.| Oregon has much to offer the lover) of the great outdoors, whether he be a naturalist, fisherman, hunter or just a mere dreamer seeking sur-j} cease from the hot and hurrying crowds. Pear Capital Besides being the gateway of one of the nation’s most unique parks, this enterprising city is the pear capi- tal of the world. The Rogue Valley | is a veritable fruit basket of teem- ing possibilities. Of course, like North Dakota is No. 1 hard wheat, the Med- ford pear is somewhat of a drug on the market, but the growers are hopeful that consumption will start to catch up with production. Those Pear laden trees are worth travel- ing miles to see, so heavy that great Props must support the branches elustered with luscious fruit, ready now for the army of pickers prepar- ‘ng for the annual harvest. In the Doldrums No matter where one goes, agri-{ culture is in the doldrums. One Ore- gon wheat grower who was harvest- ing a winter wheat yield of 30 to 40 bushels to the acre, said that when he got through last year he paid $1,100 in taxes and his revenue from the farm was only $1,400, giving him/| less than $500 in hard cash to pay other expenses. A fruit grower told me that he would not pick his pears this year unless the big fruit pack- ers offered him a price that would cover the cost of picking and leave him something besides. Still another related that he had hauled his pears to market last year receiving 45 cents ® box. The cost to him of market- ing had been 50c a box. Farming then is not so different these days in substance whether it is on a pear ranch in the picturesque Sisiyou country or on the wind-swept prairies Di of the Dakotas. Dairy, gold mining, lumbering and cement industries comprise the back- bone of Oregon's commerce. When times are normal, the taxes are not ®0 noticeable in this state. Expen- sive highways and palatial schools found preliminary financing easy, but now with the shrinkage in revenue, Oregon like all states is keenly tax conscious. County officials have tak- en nonery Salary reductions amounting to nearly 20 per cent. School budgets have been relentlessly Slashed and the end is not yet. Those interested in Oregon's future know that the staggering real estate taxes must be eased from the backs of her | farmers if Oregon's agriculture is to| survive. Mild Climate Helps Mild climate, however, has pre- vented much suffering here. There was no necessity for the National Red Cross to operate relief stations. Plenty of food and feed for man and beast has been Oregon's boast. The farmers are good fighters, as in North Dakota, and they see better days ahead. There has been some demand for small acre tracts, indicat- ing a back-to-the-land movement. Families disgusted with economic cones in the cities see in agri- culture an opportunity to escape the bread line. One can at least be on the farm. This state, like North Dakota, is tax conscious. It has its taxpayers’ organization. The business men have Joined the farmers in seeking tax re- duction and lower governmental costs. Governor Meyer, a millionaire merchant of Portland, is symnathetic to the plan. He was elected as an independent and as a protest against both established parties. His friends declare he has brought great busi- mess acumen to the management of state affairs and results are notice- | able after two years of his four-year | term. State and county officials are elected in Oregon for four years end the voters like the saving in expense and the resultant efficiency. Oregon is proposing a law to pro- vide for budget supervisors who, after local officials have finished, can re- vise budgets in the interest of public economy. Ten taxpayers can petition an appeal from these budget super- visors to higher and supreme author- 4s thought such legislation | Thursday; | a ny | Weather Report ‘ FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair e—, and slightly cool- er tonight; Thurs- day fair.

He told how he and two customers, | Julius Severson, local postmaster. and | Severt Larson, were ordered to lie on the floor, while Webb picked up $300} from a counter. The bandit then} kicked Severson, whom he apparently | supposed was an officer of the bank, | Clement testified, demanding to know} where the rest of the money was kept Clement told the bandit where to find the balance of the cash he testi-| fied, after which the three men, and a fourth customer who had come in during the holdup, were locked in the | vault. The bandits threatened to ‘drill them full of holes” if they; sounded any burglar alarm, accord- ing to Clement's testimony.

This, and vari- ous increases in airmail and second- class rates, is scheduled to provide the extra money. Business houses and publishers will bear most of this new expense. But let’s see what the new letter postage rate will cost the average family when it comes to writing Cou- sin John, Uncle Bob and Aunt Min- nie and mailing the monthly check to the gas company, the electric com- pany and other places. If the aver- age family mails seven letters a week, or one a day, this means $3.65 more in the course of a year—or $3.66 in the case of a leap year like 1932. If you want to be economical, post cards (including picture post cards) can still be sent for a penny. Airmail postage is increased from 5 cents to 8 cents for the first ounce additional ounce, ‘ The three-cent letter postage also applies to business reply envelopes, which carry an additional service charge of 1 cent. The increase in second-class mail rates applies only to “the advertis- ing portion of any publication en- tered as second-class matter.” The increase on the advertising content ranges from 1-2 cent per pound in the first and second zones to 3 cents in the eighth zone. The rate per pound on reading matter (non-ad- vertising content) is unchanged. bureau of industrial alcohol, told the convention Wednesday “there would be more profit for some of the grape growers if they would put as much energy in getting non-alcoholic fruit Products to the people as they have tried to put on the questionable en- terprise of showing people how to vio- 300 | Jate the law.” Society is going in for non-alcoholic drinks, she declared “which are not @ product of the bootleggers’ black art, break no law and lead no one into the Paths of ruin.” “Official Washington society,” she non-intoxicating fruit drinks; at the ‘at home’ functions of cabinet officers wives, for instance, j delightful fruit drinks are served; and it is becoming more and more a mat- ter of routine everywhere throughout the country to serve a fruit drink 9000 | during dinner.” Nonpartisans Asked To Speak at Forks Grand Forks, N.
