"Seventh, keep posted on condi tions, both local and general by con sistent and Intelligent reading and study." John R. Whltaker, of the II. of O. school of business administration, ad dressed the convention this morning. He discussed a number of resolutions which had ben adopted at the 24th annual convention of the natlortal as sociation of retail grocers. His dis cussion was extremely Interesting and of great value to the merchants. Following Mr. Whlttakor's address the meeting was adjourned until 2 o'clock at which time the visiting merchants and their wives were tak en for a trip through Interesting parts of the Umpqua valley. The en tire afternoon was spent In a trip over the highway and to nearby com munities.

As explained by the toastmaster. Mr. H. 11'. Haynes, the rule of the banquet was that Rny man could do anything he desired to do as long as he "got away with it." The banquet was a "rarin to go" occa sion and the zest and enthusiasm displayed . not only gave everyone present a good time but brought t.bout a closer bond of fellowship and good feeling between the visiting and Roseburg merchants. The Roosters Club Is an organiza tion enmnosed of Portland grocery men. They are In for the develop ment of Oregon and they have staged some of the llvest entertainments the state has known and In fact the grocers' banquet, sponsored and put on by the Roosters club Is one of the outstanding - events In Multnomah county each year. Last night the club entertained the merchants attending the retailers i convention and local business men. I The spacious dining room In the I'mpqua hotel was fitted up to ac commodate approximately 200 men J and the tables were completely filled, j The banquet started with the sing ing of "America" led by tho male quartette of the Boosters club. Dur ing the evening the quartette was frequently called upon and respond ed to many encores. Each of the singers is an individual soloist and together the quartette gave some ex cellent music. The banquet Itself was served In true I'mpqua hotel style and was the best to be provided by the rullnnry art. The chef In charge of the pre paration of the food Is deserving of much credit for the excellent way In which the banquet was prepared, while Ray Clark, manager, maintain ed the usual high standard of serv ice.

The trend of thought in cloak rooms and corridors wan that some' sort of manufacturers or wholesal ers plan would be drafted In accord ance with Urvsidcnt Harding's bur-1 gesttou that financing be done by a utiles tax. Whether approval of such a tax by the entire committee, re publicans and democrats, could be obtained, appeared to bo a moot question. Kepartile Vote, on Tax Wanted.

Much of the informal bonus dis cussion at the capital today centered around tho question of whether a sales tax provision could be voted out of tho ways and means commit tee. Hepresentative Gardner of Texas, tho ranking democrat on tho com mittee, said tho democratic minority members would voto solidly against, such a tax. On this basis five repub lican votes would defeat the proposal and It was understood that present estimates were that four of the 17 republicans would be against it, with two others probably doubtful. llnrdlng'N Influence Counted On. Hepresentative Dickinson rvlter aled that if the agricultural bloc feus unsuccessful in Its efforts to block tho sales tax In committee It would make a determined stand In the re publican conference which Is to be called to consider the bill. He seethed confident of a victory there, but proponents of the sales tax be lieved that. they would win tho con feiVMice and were understood to be eountiug on administration In fluence, as embodied in President Harding's letter, to swing votes to their Bide. Should tfie committee fall to re port out a sales tax. It seemed to bo a somewhat general opinion that the house would get a bill without any peeirtc provision for financing the adjusted compensation. A bill In this form is favored by some loaders of tho agricultural bloc and also by some of the leaders of the minority party. day.
