An effort waa made during the legislature to create ihr pruptiutcd for tho enforcement of tho liquor statutes under the state prohi bition director may be used in com batting the driifj evil.

Two Laws Are. Attacked Two laws enacted at the last ses sion of tho legislature, the state in come tax and the act malting it un lawful to use dairy products in the manufacture of butter substitutes. Iiavo been attacked by the referen dum and will' not go into effect Thursday, as originally intended. The latter act is known as the oleomar garine law. Two referendum ' measures have been filed with the secretary of state against the state Income tax law, ont by the Oregon Just Tax league and the other by the Oregon Income Tax Referendum league. This law will be referred to tho voters for appro val or rejection at a special erection to be held in November of this year. The so-called oleomargarino law, not being a revenue measure, will not go before tht - voters until No vember, 11)24. have taken place in these commodi ties in which -labor costs play a large part, and it was assumed on this ba sis that recent wage advances will be a sustaining factor. In fact, it is claimed that it is raw materials prices whitfh have reacted and that' these reactions have convex in re sponse to uncertainty over the effect of higher wages. Production at High Level. Production meanwhile is being maintained at a level which ap proaches the best rate of the year. The absolute amount of cotton con sumed by the country's mills during April was slightly smaller than the high record of iMarch. iWlhen allow ance is made for the smaller number of working days in April, however, the rate of consumption .in the two months is approximately equal. Some curtailment of operations by New England textile mills has been reported. But it is thought that this tendency will not become general aa in any other year. , most of the mills have contracts ex tending into tho summer. By that timo the uncertainty cif tho price of the new cotton crop will, it is ex pected, be considerably reduced. No letup in activity at the steel mills is apparent. Production is, if anything, higher and the product j ar. stated to be passing directly into con sumption. Consumers are reported to be taking all the steel that the mills can turn out and the present rate is confidently expected to be maintain ed during the third quarter of the year. f 9 - Buying Slackens. .
