In fact such action has been forecast In these reviews of the trade trend. Two cents slashed off the price of cubes on the produce ex change during the week's initial ses sion, was the direct result of late . sluggishness in the movement of both cubes and prims. This applies not only to the local field, but to the coast and In fact the country gen erally. The great surplus of milk which has been finding Its way to the churns, has completely upset the market for butter and has. resulted In stagnation that would not have been shown If normal supplies of churning material were available. The cut of 2c in the price of but terfat. effective at once, was in line with butter trade conditions. There was no general change in the price on eggs for the day but here and there sales were reflected at shaded figures. ' This was true not only of the mediums, but of other offerings. - : '. ' i ' Easier feeling in the turkey market is reflected. Sales of both hens, and toms are being made at 25c lb. for top grade along the wholesale way. Large stuff is very slow.

Vferans Stat Aid Commission) Written for the Associated Press) SALEM, Ore. UP) The World war veteran state aid commission, which handles what Is in some respects the largest mortgage loan business in Oregon. Is-emerging from a year of economic stress with a ratio of de- , Hnquency to loans granted of only 1 .CC56. Some delinquency exists, j however, t on .12 of all the loans ' granted. 4 There have been, 12.724 I loans to ex-service men of Oregon i up to date, totaling 630.127.025. j It was a matter of considerable nrnrloA f r ri mm m t cinn that the numb" of loans granted during .1031 showed such a comparatively small decrease under 1930. There were 530 1 03118 during the past year for a total 1.070.000. compared with 576 in l930- for a tolal ot 81526.500.

Although the volume of business handled through the commission In 1931 Increased 4 per cent over 1930, there has been a pay-roll saving of &2000 over the preceding year and a total administrative expense reduc tipn of (5961. This saving should be considerably Increased during the next blennlum, due to the recently adopted policy of the commission establishing an insurance reserve fund to take care of fire losses on state-owned properties. If experience in the past is- any criterion, the sav ing In this Item alone should ap proximate $8000 a year. Although the state aid commission retired bonds in the amount of $1. 125.000 during 1931. compared with $250,000 in 1930. there still will re main in the invested sinking fund of the commission on Jan. 1. 1932, t2.070.827. It is this . excellent fi nancial position of the commission which has made it possible to waive for one year the half-mill tax levy uuthorlzed by law. This was done as an emergency measure to relieve the tax burden In 1932 but cannot r-e repeated for some years there lifter, due to the heavy bond retlre i .ent program faced by the commis sion. During the past year the commis Leaves Hospital A -t J- 1 Vvife f X 14. v. i Ion made a profit on the sale ot Its investments totaling 113,480. Administration of the property ta ken oyer by the utate under deed or foreclosure totaling 12.147.725. has been handled at a cost of only 4 per cent of the Income from these properties. Revenue received from rental of state-owned ' property to-' taled M8.521 during the past year, compared with 142.117 in 1930. In addition there are accounts receiv able -on rental and farm crops held, totaling 15820. - Value 'of property taken over t by the commission In 1931 because of the failure of borrowers to carry out their contracts was 1320,000. During the same period the commission sold property, bringing In 1185.806. . The state aid commission has not declared a moratorium, neither has It adopted a "hard boiled" attitude. A deed' Is accepted or foreclosure proceedings started only as a last resort after the veteran has been given every reasonable opportunity to take care of his obligation. The only fixed policy la one of fairness to the veteran and to the state . of Oregon, each case being considered entirely on its Individual menu.

W) The principal achievement of the corporation de partment during the year 1931 has been the clean-up of financial rack eteering, and the stabilization of the building and loan business in Ore gon.. By a financial racketeer Is meant a person who organizes or gains con trol of a corporation for the pur pose of enriching himself by appro priating the .mony of those who have Invested in the securities of the corporation. Most financial rackets, including the building and loan racket, have been carried on by means of two methods. Under the first method the racketeer organizes an Insolvent corporation, and then sells to the public, under a permit obtained for that purpose, the stocks, bonds or shares of that corporation, the racketeer knowing, of course, that the so-called securities are worthless and that the Investor will lose every cent of the money he puts into them. Under the second method the racketeer acquires control of a sol vent corporation and then proceeds o scuttle it by taking out of the company all of its liquid or market able uut. The latter method is the one that has been chiefly em ployed by the building and loan racketeer. : , The present corporation commis sioner assumed office on April 1, 1931. At that time financial racke teering under both of these methods was in full swing and had been for more Ahan five years. During that time investors In Oregon had been swindled out of millions of dollars through these rackets, all of which were beine Derated under the euise cf permits Issued through the cor poration department. Investigation has revealed that In each case these racketeers had not only thumbed their noses at the corporation de partment while they sAittled their companies, but that ot the same i time they were adding Insult to in- b" rtlslng to the world that w -""v tloM, """ Pvlslon ot the cor- poratlon commissioner On April 15, 1931. the present cam Da ten for the elimination of rackc- , ... . ..i ' ?ni-. . . . . , . riiie the day beforo they killed the teering was launched.
