The effect of this leg islation. blch becomes effective the latter part of liny, or days after ad journment f the Legislature, Is to make compulsory the Imposition by presiding Judgea of the Indeterminate sentence for virtually all crimes now punl.hable In this state bv Imprison ment In the penitentiary from one to t years. The chanro In the law compelling iudxes to pass the Indeterminate sen tence In all such ca.es Is a vicious amendment." aatd a fircutt ludsre. re sldlnr outside of Multnomah County, yesterday. "Tho vice of the amendment consists In several features. In the first place, tho old and wholesome Idea of maktnr the punishment fit the crime no longer exists, and the dearee and nature of the offense can no Ion iter be a matter for exercise of Judicial dis cretion. Pardoning Hoard Ineffective. True.' the constituted pardonlnc board, of which the Warden of the penitentiary Is a member, has power to consider cases, but ca It be thought that such board 1 as capable of acting properly In such matters as thr man who sits at the trial and thoroughly understands each case? This amend ment does away with the exercise of Judicial discretion. The punishment ro looser can be made to fit the of fense. -Further. It Is not absolutely true that hereafter not a sin (tie criminal will ever plead rullty upon arraign ment Why should he? If he Is tried he receives the same sentence which the court could Impose upon him under hie plea of gulltv. and no other. In all - . wwik ihi In.l.iarmlnitu sen tence law has heretofore applied, and such rases comprise tho bulk of the criminal work of all our courts. The state Is confronted by trials In every case, and how about the espenseT ,1 undertake to assert that this new rule will cost Multnomah County be tween SlO.oea and l0.00 a year, and what It mar cost the entire state la beyond estimate. It Is true of my own experience on the bench that quite one half of the arraignments In my district result In voluntary pleaa of guilty. id t . .. I f th. ri.rmd.Bt knows that the state has an unbreakable Trip on Mm a 'cinch. as It Is commonly catted his plea of rullty Inures great ly to his benefit, for the reason that everv court will glv the offender credit for avoiding, voluntarily, the time and expense necessarily Incurred In his trial. Frfcrt Good on Prisoners. "All Judge do so. and when, early la a term with a Jail full, the court states to a criminal that the court will bear In mind his plea of guilty, the criminal, on returning to the Jell make tho fart known to his fel'.pw-etudent. and the effect Is good. I know this to be the fxct. and systematically work alone tnat line. All Judges do so If they understand their business, and most of them do. They soon learn to work a Ion ST that line anyhow. But under the new law how will It be? Not one will plead rullty. and every one will have to be- tried. Two meo are accused of a hold-up. Arraigned. One pleads srullty and ex plains the occurrence to the court, who Is satisfied that he was more or less an unwilling or unconscious participant In the robbery. The court believes him. The other stands trial. Is convicted, wss brutal In the extreme In the commission of the act. lie Is convicted, not of tho crime with which he la charred, but of assault with Intent to rob. and his sen tence Is what? The same as that of his co-defendant named In the Indictment." In addition to changing the law as to Indeterminate sentences, the Legis lature also created a parole board of three members. It consists of the War den of tho penitentiary; John Mlnto. es postmaster of this city, and J. R. Linn, of Salem, tho latter two having been appointed by the Governor. It la the function of this board to hear and de termine applications for pardon. It is contemplated that the consideration by tho board of every case Is to be In fluenced by the history of the crime committed aa shows by the testimony and the record of the convicted man daring his term of Incarceration. Penitentiary for Ilcfoma. The purpose of a penitentiary la reformation; it Is not an Institution for Inflicting vindictive punishment," said a Portland lawyer, defending tho change In the statute. The records of our penitentiaries show that men sentenced to serve from one to five years usually prove the most hardened and dangerous charges. This la due to the fact that with so short a term to serve they realise the chances of reducing their terra of service by good behavior or through executive clemency la not very great. Long-term prisoners. However, as shown by tho same prison records, are far more trsctable. "But with trie Indeterminate sen tence, what will be the result, par ticularly with the short-terra men? Tho knowledge that the period of their service will depend largely on their conduct after reaching the penitentiary will serve to bring out the better side of such men. If they truly reform and become better men. why ehould they not bo released In the discretion of tho parole board Instead of being obliged to remain and complete the sentence of a specific term of years Im posed by the trial judge? On the other hand. If such a prisoner shows no In clination to mend his ways while In prison. It Is within the province of the parole board to see that he serves the maximum sentence covering tho par ticular crime of which ha was eon girted. In its operation, the change that has been made In the old law will serve to reform evil-doers. A4 least It will provide a wey for men Convicted of crime to repent. If they are penitent, tho good that Is In them will assert Itself. If It la genuine, and the mem bers of the parole board will bo able to determine, tha Intereata of society 1- L .dded to the etaff of will bo served better by releasing them from prison than to kP them con fined for a given time, with the possi bility of produrlng a hardened crim inal of what otherwise might prove a useful and law-abiding dltlien."

PORTLAND ALWAYS CONSIDERED IN DISCUSSION OF RATE QUESTIONS Bate, Chwebrongh Interest.

Mr. Bates declared that th recent rate war Inaugurated by the Paclfto Mall 8teamshlp Company had proved a boomerang instead of throt tling th competition of th California Atlantic. It bad worked altogether to th advantage of th other company. Navajo Launched on Time. Mr. Bate was her to b prnt at the launching of th ateamer Navajo, which will b added to th Pacific rvlc calling between Seattle, Portland. Ban Francisco. Loa Angeic and Panama, as soon as It Is placed In commission. Tho Navajo was built and launched at tha Craig Shipbuilding Tards. at Long Beach. It waa completed on schedule time In spit of th effort of . th unions to fore the company to relinquish lu open shop principles. The new vessel is a 1004-ton steel steamer and will b placed la commission a week from today. We did not lose much freight as a result of the rat war begun on us by th Pacific Mall Company."' said Mr. Bates. "On the contrary, w gained a great deal of new business and friends untold. A soon as the purpose of the rate-cutting was understood a protest went to President Taft from all parts of the country. I wish th Oregonlan would thaok the people of the North west for their part In sending pro testa through th chamber of com merce and other commercial organiza tions In Portland. Seattle and Tacoma to President Taft. San Franclaeo, New Orleans and other place sent strong protests also and In a short time Sec retary Dickinson ordered th restora tion of th old ratea We have gained such aa advantage a a result of the rate war that I think our friends will hesitate a long tlm before they start another one.

Th Navajo will be ruahsd to comple tion and we hop to put her In com mission by April IB. a week from to day. She will ply between Puget Sound port and Panama with calls at San Francisco and Loa Angeles. On thla trip I hall visit all th porta between Puget Sound and the Isth mus and endeavor to ascertain just what the desires of the various places are In a traffic way and It la possible some mean may be devised for Im proving our service. I think It Inade quate now, but we are willing to meet any additional demands that may be mad upon us. And I am confident that considerable new traffic will be developed, perhaps enough to Justify our amplifying th California & At lantic aervle." Freight Is now being carried between th two coasts at a flat rat of SS a ton. said Mr. Bates. This at present is under the old agreement with th Pan ama Railroad, which provide for a TO per cent and 10 per cent division going to the lln across th Isthmus. The new division will become effective April 20, and tha Panama Railroad will receive as It portion 40 per cent of the through rate. The California Atlantic fleet now Include th Lewis Luckenbach. the San Mateo and th Lyra, which ar operated between Co lon and New York, r-hlladelphta, Charleston and New Orleans In a dove tailed swing service. These are the boats to th maintenance of which In th Atlantic servlc tha Pacific Mall Company entered such a strenuous ob jection. New Railway Project 6een. The Owen Valley Herald, a little weekly paper published at Bishop, Inyo County, CaL. has a remarkably Inter esting article on th survey for the Portland-to-Los Angeles Railroad. Just completed, which took the Los Angeles papers and reading public by surprise. It says in part: "Th grandeur of Mount Whitney. Unci Ram's hlgheat home peak, will soon form a National feature in the wide advertising of the Southern Pa cific system. As an attending feature of this advertising, will follow th at tractions of Owens River Valley, with It chain of snow-capped giants of the Sierras, th brother to great Whitney, and not a whit leas attractive to th paaalng tourist, even though a few feet lower of altitude. And to the thou sands of tourists, and travelers, com ing from East to Southern California, and from Southern California to the East, will be added those other thou sand ft people who will travel from Portland to Lo Angeles, or from Los Angeles to Portland, via Owens River Valley, along th greatest scenlo rail roadtln America.

It is a campaign that should be continued from year to year and throughout the year by all Western states, as It Is too big an un dertaking for any one state, city or organisation to handle successfully without the full eo-pperatlon of the en tire Northwest. Therefore, I believe that any meetings having this end as an object should be fully attended and given careful consideration." The governors of the eight states In cluded In the league .have been asked to assist the organization. Delegates from each etata,-will "be appointed by the governors. , Invitation Is Important. The special Invitation of Oregon to participate In the league Is regarded as Important by tho development or ganizations and railroad officials of the state "because the Helena meeting will be the first definite steps to be taken to direct tha streams of Immigra tion from Canada and tho Gulf statea Into the statea of Oregon. Washington and Idaho. It Is proposed to create a permanent organization at tho Helena meeting. The league plans construc tive work for the general good In the vast extent of country between Minne sota and the raciflc Coast seaboard. Governor Eberhardt of Minnesota and Governor Norrls of Montana are taking an active part In the movement to build up the territory Included In the eight Northwestern atates. Reports receiv ed from Helena indicate that the Mon tana city Is planning one of tho biggest affairs It has ever handled and that the entire state of Montana is alive to the Importance of the occasion. .'

The decline in the cost of living, a subject that Is attracting the attention of consumers everywhere, has not be come so pronounced in Portland as in some of the Eastern cities. This is largely due to the fact that tho prices of the necessary commodities were not boosted so high last Winter In port land as In some of the other cities, par ticularly Chicago. A list of the prices of a number of staples handled by Portland food deal ers show no gTeat change now from the quotations of a year ago. There are declines In about ten of the lead ing articles, however, but these de clines are offset by advances in an ' equal number of products, while ten more staples can be named, the prices of which are the same now as a year ago. Ten Articles Cheaper. The articles that are cheaper now are eggs, butter, cheese, pork, rice, beans, flour, hams, bacon and lard. It takes more money to buy - coffee, potatoes, onions, apples, cabbage, chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys. The commodities that are selling at the same prices today as twelve months ago are beef, veai, mutton, tea, condensed milk, canned corn, canned tomatoes and canned fruits. Retail prices In Portland markets of the leading food products now and on this date in 1910 are shown by the following table: 191L 1910.

These change in prices are due largely to local conditions of supply and demand. The cheapest food on tha market today Is probably eggs. The season for egg production in Ore gon has been an ideal one and the hens have done their best. As a re sult the production has been greater than the local and Sound market could easily take care of. The stor age speculatora have not operated with their customary freedom and consequently eggs have sold In the Portland market lower tharn for sev eral years. The bottom has been reached and quotations from now on will gradually advance. With the hens laying well, few chickens were put on the market and tha prices are therefore high. The market for ducks, geese and turkeys acts In sympathy with that for chick ens. Butter Is also plentiful and cheap, being 4 cents lower at wholesale than a year ago, but Is selling at the same price as two years ago and thi cents higher than three years ago. The re cent drop In butter was caused by California shippers invading this mar ket. Cheese la cheaper than a year ago because there is more of It in the East. The supply In Oregon Is small, but local price ar affected by tho Eastern market Pork Shows Decline. In th meat line pork alone shows a decline. This is also du to weakness In the East, where hogs ar more plen tiful and corn la cheap. Pork pro ducts are, of course, lower. Beef, mut ton and veal are selling at the same prices as last Spring. The higher prices of potatoes, onions and applea are explained by the light ness of supplies In the country. The season for these great agricultural staples is practically at an end, and tb farmers are realizing good prices on their small holdings. The only advance worth mentioning in groceries Is in coffee. Great specs -latlon In tho New York. Havre and Brazilian markets, together with bull ish reports on the coming South Amer ican crop, hav enabled the coffee magnatea to put prices on a higher plane than for 20 years, but the In flated nature of the quotations Is shown by tha gradual decline that la taking place In th primary markets. Sugar, tea and the principal articles In the canned goods Hot ar unchanged in price, while rice and beans are much lower because they are more plenti ful. Flour price have followed tha downward trend of wheat prices. Prices Generally I?wer. In' spite of the fluctuations, there is without doubt a general -revision downward In the price of food prod ucts of all kinds. How far the read justment will extend cannot be fore told by the dealers or manufacturers, but they realize that a lower level of prices will 1 mean a sounder basis of operations for all concerned and they welcome the change. The greater supply In most lines Is. of course, due to productiqn being stimulated by the high prices of tha past few years.

Many farmers have already completed the work of putting In their Spring crops, accomplishing this result at least a month earlier than usual. Conditions are not so satisfactory as to fruit prospects. Tha unusually warm weather of March has brought out blossoms on many trees, and th frost of the past few nights, It is feared, has done some damage. The fear of damage Is thus far confined to peaches and cherries, and the amount of these fruits raised in this vicinity is comparatively small.

Choose the physician who makes a specialty of curing the kind of ailments from which TOU suffer. The ordinary medical man really knows but little about-curing the ailments peculiar to men. He merely has a general knowledge of such ailments because his prac tice la spread out over the whole range of ailments to which flesh is heir.
