"Some such plan aa Is suggested In Mr. Holer's letter should be adopted. eald Senator Nottingham yesterday. "Within a few days, however. I shall write Mr. Hofer requesting hlja to give more detailed explanation of his plan. The trouble of It Is that the minute the Republicans make the slightest move towards effecting an organisation the cry wtll go up that w are proceeding la violation of the direct primary law and consequently are the enemies of popular govern ment. "Any plan that may be adopted and carried out necessarily must bo entire ly free from all appearances of an as sembly. It must be such a gathering ef KepublK-ans aa will come within the provisions of the direct primary law and In which every Republican In the stale wtll participate gladly. These condltlona must bo observed If a har monious organisation Is brought about. As suggested la the Hofer letter, next year being that of a Presidential cam paign, surely la the opportune time for Republicans to give this subject full consideration." Senator Nottingham explained that be did not expect to take any official action as State Chairman, looking to the assembling of Republicans of the state, until he became better ac quainted with the plan suggested by Mr. rioter and what procedure would beat carry the suggestion Into execution. MAYOR DISCOVERS "JOKER" Intention to Veto Mot Ing-rk-tore Ordinance Declared. Efforts by representatives of the mov ing picture houses of Portland to per suade Mayor Simon to approve the ordi nance passed by the Council at Its last session failed yesterday morning, when the executive positively refused to do ao and announced that he would veto the measure. He discovered what he declaree Is a "Joker" In It. which would allow all such places to operate without making any changes ta safely appliances for 11 months. Ales Bernstein, a Portland lawyer, rep resenting tha moving picture houses, railed upon the Mayor yesterday morn ing to discuss the ordinance. Council man "Lombard, who was one of two members voting sgslnst the measure laat alu waa present. Mr. Bernstein de clared that there was a vsst outlsy of money Invested In the business, which would be lost, perhaps, should the Mayor veto the ordinance, I-onc leases on pres ent locations are another strong point ought to be made by the proprietors. Councilman lxtmbard naked Mayor Simon to veto the ordinance, because be said he believed It wae against public policy, aa he believed that financial fea tures dtd not welch against the safety of patrons. The points at Issue are the providing of two exits In each place, or the removal of the lamp room to the rear of the house, and the ordinance purported only to "permit such places as abide by these requirements to operate. The Mayor, however, declares that the language of the ordinance la clear, to the effect that places may run without making any change. It U believed aa effort mill now be made to pars It irr the veto. Eugene Ticket Is Named. KTGENE. Or, March If. (Special.)

Li- 250 JOIN IN LITIGATION Pro-In Discrimination I Alleged nd vision for Imprisonment Event of l-allure to Par Called In Question. , Attacking tha city vehicle ordinance and alleging Its Irregularity and Inval idity on a dozt-n different grounds. At torneys Selts Sells and w. B. Bh I vo ir, on behalf of ISO merchants of Port land, filed In the Circuit Court yester day a complaint against the city. The complaint alleges tnat ine ordi nance Is discriminatory In that It ex empts from the operation of the ordi nance a large number of persons and corporations of the city that have paid license under another ordinance, ine plaintiffs allrge that this exemption makes tha burden of taxation unequal for the reason that the firms exempted ara enabled to operate a large number of vehicles for only a fraction of the license fees exacted from those not ex empted by the ordinance. Another point or at lac a; is tn in Council has no power under the city charter to levy such a tax for revenue nnnn vehicles because the city charter specifically limits the taxing power of the city to 7 mills and no more, ii is alleged that the assessment levied oy the vehicle ordinance Is greatly In ex cess of T mills and Is therefore void. Imprisonment for Debt Cnlawful. A unioue argument against the ordi nance, as set up In the complaint. Is to the effect that Inasmuch as the. ordi nance punishes a failure to pay the taxes provided by It by Imprisonment. It Is accordingly In direct conflict with aertion of the state constitution. which uti that there shall be no Im prisonment for debt. The plaintiffs also declare that the ordinance is not now In effocU for the rcaaon tnat u oy have not elapsed since the ordinance waa signed by the Mayor. In discuss ing; this feature of the complaint. At torney Bhlvely said: The Stale Sessions lawi tor in provide that J day must eispsa oe tween the signing of the ordinance and Its going Into effect. In order that the people. If they eo desire, may have an opportunity to Invoke the referendum. An exception to the state laws la pro vided In cares of emergency and when Immediate enforcement ot in nance la necessary tor in pru of the public peace, health or safety. It Is provided that the ordinance may go Into effect Immediately upon us sig nature by the Mayor. Emergency Is Questioned. -It seems that the City Council In passing the present venicie orumauc attached a so-called emergency clause, wherein It Is stated that the Imme diate enforcement of the ordinance Is necessary In order to proviue for the city treasury. We Insist that the need of money In the city treasury does not concern the publlo peace, health or safety and that therefore the ordinance cannot now be In effect- and that the city officials. In endeavoring to enforce Us provisions and to collect taxes under the ordinance, are acting without authority."

All but Consumers Xow Are Repre sented oa Committee Named for Various Interests. Names of committeemen to represent the combined Interests concerned In dairying, except those of the consumers, were announced yesterday by C C Chapman, manager of the promotton committee of the Commercial Club. The Interests represented are the sani tary authorities, the producers and the retailers. The vacancy, representing the consumers, will be filled In a few days unless an acceptance Is received soon. The belief has been expressed that the milk Industry will take a long step forward when a better and cheap er system of distribution Is devised, distribution now being the most ex pensive feature of the business, snd the producers contending that they must receive higher prices to make the Industry profitable. W. W. Cotton sug gested at the recent banquet that the result could be attained through the formation of a distributing company, to which all the milkmen should sub scribe. This would avoid duplications. The members of the committee thus far appointed are: W. W. Cotton, dairyman, counsel for the O.-W. R. & Is., and associate member of the Con sumers' League, who Is to be chair man: Dr. Calvin S. White, member of the State Board of Health, who will represent the health authorities; Wil liam rchumerllch, a dairyman from Hlllsboro, and T. S. Townsend, of the Townsend Creamery Company. The committee will seek to devise plans to make the Industry more profitable. SALMON PRICE RAISED SEASOX CLOSED, PER POWD COST IS TWO-BITS.

The closed season for salmon In the Willamette River began yesterday and with the supply cut off tradesmen ad vanced the retail price to 25 cents a pound. According to J. K. Manning, manager of the fish department of an Alder-street market, the law Is an un wise one as It works a hardship on con sumers and la not protective In Its scope. Mr. Manning took out the roe from a number of salmon, caught Wed nesday and In every case the eggs wers extremely small, no larger. In fact, than blrdshot. As an object lesson, he ex hibited a quantity of roe from salmon caught last October: the eggs being fully developed and ready for spawning. "As the 8prlng closed season lasts only six weeks," said Mr. Manning, "no real protection is afforded the salmon Industry, ss the fish cannot spawn In that time, for the specimens of roe show they are not developed until Fall.
