Van Wrinkle Says Balloting On Tax Levies
Not Legal Until New Forms Are Provided
AS Required by Revised Law; Winslow De-
clares Statute Complied With.

Recent midnight oil consump-
tion by the Salem school board. in
its effort to comply with the pro-
visions enacted by the recent leg
islature SO that it might place the
public school budget before vot-
ers at the June 20 erection, may
have been fruitless, and 1t is pos.
sible that Salem people may not
be allowed to determine whether
$125,000 shall be spent for the
upkeep of the city's educational
institutions next year.
The legality of the school
boards move in preparing the
budget became a thing of doubt
this afternoon when Attorney
General Van Wrinkle handed down
an opinion in which he held that
special budget forms, not yet off
the press, must necessarily be used
by the various districts, II their

clared this afternoon that the d.

Grain Men
Of Oregon
Organize
Association Planned
In State Will Be
Part of National
Organization

Organization of the Oregon Co.
operative Grain Growers associa-
tion in Marion county began last
night with a mass meeting in the
Evergreen school near SilEerton at
which the plans of the assoc1a-
tion were presented to the grain
growers of that section. Repre-
sentatiyes of the association plan
to stage a three weeks campaign
in the county and expect to con-
tract for SO per cent of the grain
raised in this section, according
to G. A. Barnes, assistant organl-
cation manager, who was in Sa-
lem yesterday.
The Oregon association is plan
ned as a unit of the national as
sociation, with headquarters in
Chicago, whose organization is go
ing on simultaneously with that
conducted ETAOI etaoi shrdl SIS
which is now being conducted in
the grain growing states.
According to Mr.. Barnes, the
plan OF the association calls for a
six-year contract for the pooling
and marketing of grain by all
members through the national or
ganization. Farmers will receive
a uniform price for grain of the
same grade the country over, var
ying only by the difference OF
rates to terminals and marketing
centers.
The association will be financed
largely through the local banks,
according to representatives, the
loan value on the wheat receipts
being advanced to the producers,
Officers of the Organization
have recently been working In
Clackamas county, and will grad
uaIly work into Marion county
for the campaign here. Through
out Washington and Idaho approx
mately 3O,OO0,O00 bushels OF
grain are already under contract
according to the estimate of Mr..
aBrnes, and the progress in CIack-
amas county is reported to be fav-
orable.
The general manager of the as
sociation at present is George Jew
EFT, formerly secretary treasurer
of tn Federal land bank of Spo-
kane. A. r. Shumway, president
of the Farmers Union of Oregon
is president of the board of di-
rectors.
According to the representatives
the association is meeting with
the approval of such bodies as the
state grange, the farm bureau and
1.-The farmers union. The market
ing scheme is identical with that
used by the fruit interests in the

especially easy for him to start work. He
always gets things done. but he avoids
beginning some of them until he is in just
the right creative mood-then slam bang
energy till the job Is done. In campaign
ing for the Presidency he never wrote out
a speech until he had to do so. He put off
preparing his inaugural address until almost
the last moment. In all these instances he
knew pretty much what he was going TO
say and how, but he fiinched from the con-
centration of building out the structure
with words. He might put off a task all
day, but he would work furiously and
