WHICH LAW WILL
SERVE PEOPLE BEST?

Let the present delinquent tax
publication law of Oregon alone.
Whenever the voters of the
state tamrer with an existing
statute Of merit, the inevitable
result is q boomerang. When
ever. likewise, the freak legisla-
ton fiends succeed in placing
some wild ETHEREAL plan on the
statute books, the voters of Ore.
gon bear the burden until such
time as the law can be cut off
the books. Such is the history
of freak legislation.
Get this point clear. The pres
ent delinquent tax publication
law was devised for one purpose
only Ito protect the unfortunate
delinquent taxpayer from that
peculiar brand of social parasite
known as the title Rrabber. It
is considered a model law by ad-
joining states and its practical
application has convinced all that
it is a statute of merit. Waen
speaking of statutes, merit can
only be measured by services
rendered to the citizens of the
state.
C. S. jackson, editor of the
Portland Journal. is attempting
to substitute pet scheme of his
own TO replace the present law.
Glance at the differences be-
tween the present law and the
Jackson camoufiage measure:
The present law provides tina
a mail notice be sent to all 1elin
.quents within a certain time fol-
lowing the delinquency date,
The Jackson law does likewise
The present law, to save the
delinquent property from the
title grabbers and scheming land
attorneys, who are always taking
a chameleon deliquent titles, fur
ther provides that when the mai
notices fail to perform their func.
ton, then and only then. may
the notice be given by publica
ton.
The Jackson law amendment
leaves out the publication entirely
and thus the delinquent who
fails to ger his notice is entirely
at the mercy of tb e title grabber.
Which is the better law? Which
serves the interest of the tax
payer best? Which is the more
equitable statute from the tax
payers viewpoint?
The answer is apparent to ev-
cry thinking voter. Vote No
on Jackson's delinquent tax bill.

WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Sept. 15-I am able to announce to the farm CTS and public generally that we have perfected arrange ments with the U. s. Bureau of Markets for making a state wide service in cotton chasing this season, and that the ser vice is now in force. Under the gin law the ginners are re- quired to take two samples and put them in official sealed wrappers. This season the ginners are required to send by mail daily one of the sam ples to the U. s. Bureau of Markets in this department, where MT. John B. Beers, a Government Cotton Chaser, is in charge, and who will class the samples as they are receiv- ed and send to the owner of the cotton a card informing him of the grade and staple of the
 bale of cotton from which the sample was taken. The gin- ners are under bond to take lair sample. The cotton is classed by government stand ards that have been adopted by every cotton exchange of any importance in the United States. Cotton classification under this plan is the most re- liable that can be had, and
 the farmers can depend upon the accuracy. MT. Beers is not only an expert in cotton chasing, having had years of experience as cotton classer and buyer before going with the government, but his work

the farmers sold their cotton on average of middling and lower.
 The method for the farmers to pursue to get the best price for their cotton is to first keep posted on the co:'on market by getting daily paper that 2 yes the New Orleans, New York, Memphis and Little Rock quotations. The Little Rock papers usually give them but if they do not the Memphis Commercial does. Notice the difference in price or different grades. Keep you: cotton untt;;. you get your grade card. Talk freely with your neighbors about the prices they get for their cotton, and always learn what grade and staple they had. No matter where you are located you should get about the same price as Little Rock or Memphis quotations, and within about one cent a pound of the New York market. When you sell your cotton re- port the sale on your grade card.
 By following these instruc- tions the farmers will get the full benefit of the best market ing service ever given to the people of any state. We were not able to give this complete service to the people last year because we did not have the advantage of. free use of the mails. If your ginner does not take and send in gin samples report him to me at once and take your cotton to another gin until he does. The ginners are charging the farmers enough to give them full service. ;

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

n -. CAAC dCCUI dCV of his work. Cotton buyers 20 entirely by their individual Judgement. We shall endeav- or to give the cotton quotations of the LittleRock, Memphis and New Orleans exchanges on the day the cotton is graded, this information accompanying the card.
 Requests have been sent to all public ginners to send in the gin sample. They come through the mail free, under government frank as govern ment business. Postage free tags are furnished ginners, and all they have to do is to tie them in bundles at the end of each days ginning, tag and put them in the postoffice. We do the rest. The service is free and costs neither the ginner nor the farmers anything. We want the farmers to have the full benefit of this service. In order to get the full benefit, the cotton should not be sold until the grade card is receiv- ed. Fhe daily papers will give the daily quotations on the different grades. The farmers should watch and read the cot ton quotations and keep post ed by talking freely with each other about the price received for different grades and staple there are fixed differences in price between the different grades. Remember the grade of cotton is determined by how clean and free from dirt, leaves and trash it is. The sta- ole is another matter altogeth- CT. Any staple over one inch is entitled to a premium, unless the cotton is a very low grade. Cotton of 1 3-16 staple, mid ding grade sold at as high as 10 cents a pound above one inch cotton part of the time last1 season. The premium on staple cotton varies according to demand. The longer the staple the higher the premium if the cotton grades middling or better. Our report for Oc- tober of last season showed the average price for middling one inch staple cotton to be 27.72; 1 1716 was 1902; Is was 32.44 and 1 7-16 was 49.64 These average prices are not a fair index to the premium value, for our report shows that most of the staple sales reported were below the mar ket values. The highest prices reported to us during October were as follows:
 One inch, 29.87; 1 1-16, 36; 1 Is 37.14; 1 3-16, 44.64; 1 7-16. 49.44.
 There is only a small per centage of the cotton that runs over 1 1-16, and most of 1t comes from the bottom lands. The greatest amount of staple cotton is that of 1 Is and l 3-16. Only a small amount is 1 IA and better. On the other hand great deal of the hill cotton runs 1 1-16. How
