And Growera Can't Agree
While It la far from the Intention
of the Examiner to encourage wool
growera to sell their product tor any
price under the highest possible
market value of the commodity, yet
natural and general conditions con
trol the situation, and on the other
hand we thijk It a mistake for
growera to demand unreasonable
prices. The following special dis
patch, under date of .March 26. from
lloston to the San Francisco Chronl-
It-, i,' Ives, we believe, an accurate
account of the wool situation from
a fair and unbiased standpoint.
It Is said that the high prices re
cently reported on the wool business
In the West are the top level since
1SU7. on the average. This compli
cates the local situation, as dealera
already had found values too high
for tin !r purposes here. The only
alternative for them, under the cir
cumstances is to raise their prlcea
and much resistance is due from
manufacturers, who are having their
troubles. This leaves but one hope
for de-ilers the maintenance indefi
nitely of the Ktrength of wool In Lon
don. Full appreciation of the alg
nlncance of the recent high prices
In the West may be had when it ia
considered thut former prices were
under n duty of U cents per
pound on foreign wool. Without
this prelection growera are said re
cently to have secured the highest
nrlces for seventeen years. In fact a
case Is cited of a clip being sold this
year at 17 cents, upon which an of
fer of 14 Mi centa was withdrawn In
1813 at shearing time. Other bids
of that year for thla clip were around
12 Mi centa and it ultimately was con
Bigned to the market, for selling by
a dealer. Growers are demanding
so much In some places that buyers
have been compelled to withdraw.
Matttrj have come to such a paaa
that dealera are wondering whether
it would not be best to draw off from
contracting. The present price trend
raiae the average cost of all their
is steadily upward and they stand to
purchases, by continuing to contract.
The quotations made heretofore
hardly represent the strength of the
situation.
All thla brings us back to the
fact that nothing but continued flrm
nesa abroad can Justify the situa
tion. Dealers will not he able to turn !
over these, later bought wools except
by advancing prices even beyond the
recent local increases, which would
loliiT them un against a snag in the
event of any weakening in foreign
wools. As It Is manufacturers uro In

in the case brought In Multnomah
County by Attorney Sinnott of the
Portland Taxpayers' Association, in
which he asked for an order re
straining the County Treasurer from
celfectiug penalties against persons
who had paid one-half of their tax
erf before April 1 Circuit Judge Clee
ton ruled that there was no duty
resting upon taxpayers to pay taxes
prior to August 31 and there is no
de fault until September 1.
Though in the suit filed by Mr.
Sinnott an injunction waa asked re
straining Treasurer Lewis from the
collecting of penalties only against
those who have paid one-half of
their taxes before April 1, Judge
Clecton went further and declared
inoperative nil the provislona of the
19FJ law which require collections of
penalties on taxes unpaid after April

Judge Cleeton held, la September 1.

Turf fleetnn aaid. in exDlalnlng his
'ruling, "the court's mind is not free!
from doubt, but in granting thla re
straining order it appears that no
one can be injured, for if this court
la wrong in Its interpretation of thia
statute the higher court will, no
doubt, correct the error and enable
the collector later to collect these
penalties.
llerause county officials in all
pnrta of tho stale have been waiting
for Judge Cleeton'a decision, it is
believed probable that the ruling
will bo followed throughout the
btate.
Concerning the matter a special
dispatch to the Oregonjan from Sa

The ruling of Circuit Judge Clee
ton, of Multnomah County, that pen
alties for second-half tax payments
cannot be collected before September
1 In that county will be taken aa a
basis for collections In other coun
ties until a ruling is made by the
Supreme Court, if the case ever
gets to that tribunal, is the belief of
lawyers of thia city who have made
a study of the tax lawa.
That the State Tax Commission
takes that view, is evidenced by ita
statement to the taxpayers of the
state that they may exercise their
own judgment as to the payment
of the se. olid half, and that the com
mission will abide by the advice of
the Attorney-General that it cannot
intervene in the litigation.

Hlicep Itate Unchanged
There seems to have been some
mistake or miaunderatanding in the
reported livestock freight rates aa
quoted In last week's Examiner, in
staling that the car ratea on Bheep
from here to San Francisco had been
reduced from $203.06 to $178.18.
The matter caused some conjecture
among thoao familiar with present
freight rates, and in investigating
the matter it la found that the rate
on ahecp, aa taken from Supplement
lio. 9, Western Pacific Livestock
Tariff No. 71A, and effective Octo
ber 10. 1912, la $178.18 per stand
ard 36 ft. car from here to San Fran
cisco. Thla rate la, of course, the
same by Reno over the Southern
Pacific. Inaofar aa we are able to
learn, the reduction on horae and
cattle rates aa quoted last week will
become effective about May 1.
The article was taken from data
handed In at this office, which waa
naturally unquestioned, and was giv

The Lakevlew Flour Mills started

pounds of flour will be manufactur

Prospects were never better for a

Mill Company Is anxious to dispose
of the nresent stock in order to be

Clark OpiJoses
Washington, March 31. The
house of representatives tonight af
ter one of the most spectacular stru
glea In the nation, voted to repeal the
provision of the Panama canal act
exempting American vessels from
payment of tolls. The vote on the
repeal bill was 244 to 161, a majori
ty of 96 votes In support of the per
sonal plea of President Wilson.
Thia verdict on the Issue, whlcji
has absorbed congress for weeks,
came at the close of a stirring day,
made memorable in the annals of the
noufe by a party division which
found Champ Clark, Majority Lead
er Underwood, and other democra
tic chieftains, lined tip in open op
position to the president on an issue
which the latter had declared vital
to his conduct of the nation's fore
ign policy. '
The bill la now in the Senate
where the fight will be renewed with
all the v's'vr. that attended it In the.
house, as a number of the members,
regardless of politics, are divided oa

voted to sustain the president, while

Regardless of the good or bad ef
