WATERWAY BILL HIT

4uieat TO salmon A11e seen In
MeNary's Proposal.
Development of an inland waterway
from The Dalles, Greg, to Lewiston,
Idaho, as proposed in a bill intro
duced by Senator McNary Of Oregon,
would put the 5000, 100000 Columbia
River salmon industry out Of business,
Arthur Newton Pack, president of the
American Nature Association, warned
today.
Pack pointed out that the series
of dams and locks which would be
needed for the proposed waterway
would make it impossible for the
salmon to reach their natural spawn
ing grounds and that they would
abandon the Columbia River.

PRICES STILL
WELL ALOFT


LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. 81
Relatively high livestock prices are
the natural result of several years
of drouth conditions in the major
portion of the Corn Belt and Great
Plains area. While reports of sat-
isfactory grain and forage crops
in most sections of the country
will go far towards relieving the
present rather acute shortage OF
fat cattle and hogs, general opinion
within the livestock and meat in
dustry is that it will be matter
of many months before supplies OF
fat livestock may be increased suf-
ficiently to materially depress
prices.
Back of the present shortage of
hogs and cattle is the fact that
short feed supplies forced stock
men to market many breeding ami
mails. 1t takes cows to produce
steers and it requires sows to pro-
duce litters of pigs that will grow
into pork. While there is some
consumer resistance to present
relatively high meat prices which
reflect the high prices now being
received by farmers and stockmen,
the fact that meat prices have
advanced is proof that people are
able to pay more for the decreased
amounts of meat available. II
has been said that the number OF
dollars paid for meat varies but
little; when supplies are short, the
price per pound is higher; when
supplies are larger, the price per
pound declines.
1t should be borne in mind, too,
that higher livestock prices, while
welcomed by the producer and
feeder, are not an unmixed bless
ing. Due to shortage of moisture
and unfavorable climatic condi-
tions over period of years, the
cost of feedstuffs has advanced,
thus increasing the cost of fatten-
ing animals. A major factor caus-
ing increased costs to the producer
is the tax problem. Taxes have in
creased enormously in recent years
and certainly when the stockman
must consider taxes as part Of
his cost of producing meat animals.
the line-on the farm, in the feed
Labor costs have advanced all along
lot, in the packing house and in
the retail shop. While it must be
granted that higher wages increase
buying power, the worker must
know that higher wages increase the
costs of production, processing and
distribution.
When the 1887 crops are harvest
ed, there will be cheaper and more
plentiful feedstuffs; the cost Of
producing fat meat animals will
decrease and the lower production
costs will be reflected in the whole
sale and retail meat markets. Yet
it seems very unlikely that any
material change in livestock or
meat prices should be anticipated
during the balance of this year.

oeVerdl years ago the valuation OF
the public utilities in the county
was approximately $12,OOO,OOO. The
utility valuations for the seven
municipalities in the county are
included in the county total.
The valuation roll of public utili-
BY property in the state totalec
S1,003, ,746,210. The auditor of each
county was informed of the individ-
| ual total so it may be included in
local tax rolls.
The valuation roll received final
approval after series of meetings
at which board members gave con-
sideration to requests for reduc-
tions in propose valuations
amounting to more than $4,000, 900
or 81 per cent of the total roll.
OF these requests, reductions
amounting to only $772,O5O were
allowed in the case of the South
ern California Edison company on
the ground that certain specific
properties had been er-assessed."
"A. G.. Mott, director of the valu-
alton division, explained that de-
spite this reduction, the companys
fetal valuation of $131, ,509, $40 still
was $5,440,940 in excess of the
1886 valuation.
All other requests for reduc-
tions were denied by the board
for lack of reasonable proof that
such action would be warranted.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-08-27

The total valuation roll, as final
ly approved, represents an increase
of approximately 5 per cent over
the value set by the board in 1896,
and compares favorably with the
increased values of common prop
erty as determined by county as
SCISSORS.
"The valuation of public utility
property is one of the most i'm
portant functions of the board"
said Fred E. Stewart, Oakland
board member, "Inasmuch as the
values so established will deter
mine the share of the tax burden
which shall be assumed by such
companies.
while several requests for major
reductions in the total valuation
were made, the board denied them
In the belief that the roll as final
ty approved represents fair es-
innate on which to assess local
tax rates." Stewart continued.
Since public utility property was
transferred from the state to local
tax rolls in 1885, we have made
every attempt to be fair SO that
these concerns would bear their
just share of the tax burden ano
the common property owner would
