Commissioner Ira L. . Davis- son, of the light .and .power depart ment, ruled that It was the right o the city to cut the high cost of liv ing by providing ranges at a small charge over the wholesale price. The city of Tacoraa buys electric ranges cheaper than any concern on the Pacific coast, because of the volume of its business. " Ranges are sold here from )40 to ISO. below any other city on .the, coast. The de raand is strong because current fo cooking is sold at 1 cent a kilowatt.

Mr. Glass' statement ia in- part as follows: - DlMtrirint3r Defended. A pcuular mi.;conee'jtion thr.t I think was pretty thoroughly explod es yesterday ras that in regard to the relations bstween the ditrihutors of milk in a 3lty and the public. The pecpie should realize t.iat it is not the distributors who regulate prices. This is especially true in Portland. where competition from farmers in the district right around Portland who are bringing their milk risrht in here and selling it from their owr. vi gons. is wide open. The public should realize that the fiht that the distributors are making sgainst domination of the citv's milk oufi ujr ti Birimi clique 01 intenestea promoters or high -salaried league ioL holders, is the publics fight, because lr would cost the distributors nothing to eccept any demend made by the league and simply pass those demands cp to tne punnc.

"Not one single thing was said indicating that the league had the slightest thought of ever letting the public have the benefit of cheaper prices, or indicating that the league had any thought of increasing the dairymen's efficiency or reducing cost of production, or giving the people the benefit of the varying cost of production due to your favorable climatic changes. "I would like to comment on the most amazing action of the league officials yesterday, the significance of which I .do not think the people of Portland will fail to grasp. The hearing before the Taxpayers' league committee was, at the requ-st of the so-called Oregon Dairymen's league, ostensibly so that a representative, disinterested body liko the taxpayers' committee, could learn the truth. Truth Bottled Up. "And yet at that very meeting vari ous speakers, including myself, who were opposed to the exploitation scheme of the promoters of the Ore gon Dairymen s league, were actually served with a restraining order in an attempt to close their lips and prevent the truth from being told. "This restraining order . may ef fectually prevent my saying anything as to the relations between the league and the dairymen but I would like to make this comment it is a sad or ganization that is so fearful of the He obtained Lillis' signature to a note for $400, but it is declared the bill of sale is worthless.
