during the current week In Portland
while home churning of butter was
also greatly in excess of any week to
date this season.' Recent expectation
of the trade that the flush produc

was apparently not to be realized for
since then there has been a rather
startling gain of output both In the
country and at centrallzers.
For the weekend there was no
change In the position of butter prices
on trie produce exchange while open
market values were likewise station-

Butterf at values are again Inclined
to ease down with a general quota

Trade In the egg market continues
to reflect a slow tone. Prices In gen

is again more or less underselling,

mendous profits and take from the
American people millions, hundreds of
millions and even billions of dollars.
"Thta tax Is just double the com
mission paid on every deal to brok
ers.
"The Investigation . . . shows the
market Is a gambling Institution In
which the Insiders use marked cards
and loaded dice. . . .
Take the story of Walter Bacns
that be paid 123.000.000 for a com
pany in which $1,750,000 was invited
and that Be received 1100.000,000 from
the puWIc by Belling stock to tho
Goldman Sachs Trading corporation
at 104 that Is today worth 75 cento.
That was milking the public out or
1100,000,000.
"The Investigation has showed that
when the promoters Indulge In this
business they place publicity men to
become propagandists and bocst the
values In the public mind. These
publicity men get their share of the
money. . :
"It was argued before' the commit
tee this tax would rfflt bring $75,000,
OOO but only $32,000,000. Whether It
brings $75,000,000 or $30,000,000, tl9s
Is a place where the government
ought to lay revenue to act as a det
errent on this gambling insmtutlon."
There is much reason tobelievo
that the break in prosperity came as
a result of building up aut boosting
stocks," Dill said.

M. Warner) of Warner Brothers, who
sold his own stocks for $16,000,000!
then bought them back at $7,000,000;
a clear profit of $9,000,000 from the
public." j
The bouse provision, he said, "even I
If It brought In no more money, Is j
far more desirable because it is based ;
on the amount of business done."
"This tax won't apply If the stock ;
is loaned," Dill said, referring to the
finance committee's plan, "That
means It won't apply to short selling.
And even from the White House
we've had attacks on short selling.'
The stock exchaite?. Dill said, "has
become-a parasite so big ltios swal- !
Mowed up legitimate business." I
'It would be a fine thing If this
congress should pass a law closing 1
every stock exchange during this per- j
iod of depression," he0.dded. O I
Senator Traaimell (D., Fla.) Inter-j)
rupted Dill to assert that as a result
of yesterday's market action and Gen
eral Electrlc's failure to declare a
dividend "I'll bet 90 per cint of the
sales were short sales."
Dill asserted loans a "prominent
method of short selling."
Senator Reed R., Pa.) a member
of the committee, told D0l that in
stock transactions "therJTs Just the
difference between borrowing and
selling as In any other commodity."
Borrowed stocks, when delivered Q
purchased, he reminded Dill, "carry
