on Assembling
of Dried Fruits

A special rate between all Ore
gon point on the Southern Pacific
lines has been granted through the
efforts of G. L. Smith, traffic iLan-
ager of the Oregon Growers Co
operative association. The rate ar-
plies to the assembly CT dried
fruit for grading and packing and
means a saving of nearly 50 per
cent on the shipments.
These rates were formerly offer
ed only between certain points. all
of those not listed in the tariff
schedule having to pay the regu-
lar rate.
Mr.. Smith gave an example of
shipment of prunes in sacks made
last year that cost nearly 500
more for a car of $4,000 pounds

Polk Excess
Tax Case Not
Yet Decided

Dallas, Or, Sept. 12.---9he case
of U. S. Grant VS.. Folk county
wherein the plaintiff was suing
the county for a refund of taxes
was heard here Saturday aid the
attorney for the parties had stipu-
lated that another case Of Cher
rington VS.. Josiah Wills, county
school superintendent, which was
a mandamus to compel the school
superintendent to refund oTerpaid
taxes from the county high school
fund, should be heard at the same
time, hoping to determine whether
the alleged over-taxation was legal
or not.
The court held that it would be
proper to try one case at a time,
or rather the legality of the over
paid taxes in the case of Grant VS..
Polk county, and if judgment
were entered against the county
then it would be up to the county
court to use such means as were
necessary to determine from which
fund the rebate should be paid.
The funds under discussion were
the county high school taxes and
general fund.
Several witnesses were heard
including the county assessor,
county school superintendent end
county judge. The county judge
testified that when the budget
was made by the court they knew
that the high school fund was In
excess of the 6 per cent limita-
tion. The assessor testified that
in extending the rolls there was a
small increase over the estimated
budget due to the fact that the
nearest tenth of a mill that could
be used in levying the taxes esti-
mated by the courts budget neces-
sarily made an increase. the
court took the case under advise
ment but no decision was render
ed, though it is expected a judg-
ment will be given against the
county for the refund of the
over collected.
