C, March 9. Hubert Htanfleld, tho now senator from Oregon, went Into action with a voiiRonncu and has succeeded In mak- nx tho prospects of tho wool grow er of Oregon somewhat brighter. An mount equal to one-half tho entire wool crop ot Idaho, tho greatest wool producing stnto In tho union, will not bo dumped on thu market now, with consequent domorallxallou of prices.

Action In Important. Tho mora announcement ot this postponement doos not convoy to tho general public the Importance of the action. In the first place, tho public sale of this largo amount ot Rovern mcnt wool at this time, when tho clip for 1920 I still owiipd by tho producer, and tho 1921 clip Is just bnliiR made, vould result In a very low price being offored for tho gov ernment wool, and, It sold, would bo at n large financial sacrifice to tho government. In tho second place, tho nolo of this wool, or even of Itn of fer for sale, would domorallio tho market and lead to further distress lug financial conditions of tho al ready distressed wool growora. Thin postponement wilt probably result In stabilizing tho wool market mid tutor real Ire a much bettor prlco for tho government -owned wool. PLAN AID FOR OWYHEE LANDS WASHINGTON, I).

" Act For Kxnmlnatlon Ileforr Mar riage Hefrrrrd To People At Gen eral Klrrllon Tlmo For Kdu rtlv Work Cut Short. Recent announcements that legis lation to be voted on at a special June election will Include senate bill No. 174, which provides for the ex amination ot all applicants tor mar;-. rlage license, has brought a dcter- mined protest from Dr. Owens-Adalr, author ot the measure, who Is mak!- Ing her headquarters In Bend. Tho fact that tho bill specifically pro vides tor a referendum vote at the next general election is the basis for Dr. Adair's objection to the action ot the attorney general In placing the measure on the Juno ballot. The provision in question is em bodied In section 4 ot the bill, which says, In part: "This act shall be re ferred to the legal voters of the state ot Oregon at the next general elec tion, and the secretary ot state is hereby dfrectedto place this same upon the ballot to be used Jit sucb election. Authority Questioned. "By what authority does the nl torney general turn this measure over to the special election?" Dr. Adair asks In a letter written to a Portland morning paper. In which she also mentions that she wrote the attorney general, begging him not to change tho time of tho marriage bill. She' received no reply from the state offi cial, however, she says. 'Dr. Adair realizes that her bill Is much in ad ranee of tho times, nnd tliat'a cori slderable period must bo had for edu cative work. By placing the meas ure before the people only a few mouths after Its passage In the legis lature. Its chances for success have been seriously Jeopardized, she says Sayn Illrtli Control Kvue. Dr. Adair objects pointedly to sen ate bill No. 174 being alluded to as tho sterilization bill. "There is no sterilization bill before the peoplo of Oregon," she emphasizes. "My sterilization bill that was before the people from 1907 to 1917, became a law In Mar. 1917. My present bill is a marriage bill, requiring every man and woman to pass a test for health and mentality. It one or both fall to pass the mental test, then ono or both must be rendered sterile before they can bo married." Statistics pointing to a gradual drift toward degeneracy, and figures showing that six out ot every 10 per sons are sub-normal mentally, aro be ing forcefully used by Dr. Adair In her campaign. "The greatest ques tion that faces our nation today is the birth control ot our degenerates," she declares.

RESERVATIONS ASKED IN CONTRACT WANT FEW CHANGES Klertlon Date Kxpectcd To He Axi- nonnred This Week, Attorney For Hettlera State Ilond Issue De feated Karly In The Year.
