Butter Surplus
Is Appearing In
Oregon Market
PORTLAND, Juno 1 W) Greatly
Increased offerings of butter are tak
Ing care of California demand at this
time with a surplus gradually appear
ing in the local territory although
the movement to date has been suf
ficient to maintain the price gen
eratly.
The fact that butterfat values are
at the extreme low here, Indicates
that the previous advance In the
price was not all that appeared on
the surface. There la no real tight
for butterfat "aT the moment, prac
tically all Interest getting their full
needs, and more.
Trade In the egg market Is con
sidered very unsteady at the moment
with a shade of weakness dominating
the structure. This is caused mostly
by direct sales to retailers which are
below established figures.
Cleanup of live chicken supplies Is
suggested by the local trade with late
prices practically unchanged '- from
la-it week. There 1b a fair call for
turkeys at low values.
While bulls are In rather extensive
call, due to the greater demand for
sausage and prices are being main
tained, cow meat Is weaker and lower.
Trifle weaker trading tone Is show
ing for country killed calves as a re
sult of recent arrival of considerable
heavy stuff weighing around 135-140

Most recent sales of country killed

Curiously enough, tho wettest year

regard It as unlikely.
During May tho woather was quite

and speeded Immediately to the con
cluding formalities which will make
it law.
The measure, designed to raise
$1,116,000,000 of revenue, was passed
20 minutes after midnight, at the
conclusion of a 14-hour dramatic
iscsslon without) parallel In recent
congresses. - '. '
Responding to a suddenly planned
and personally delivered plea of
President Hoover, the senate swiftly
built up the bill by 280,000,000 with
the eleventh hour addition of taxes
on gasoline and electricity and in
creased Income rates.
Sales Tax Rejected ,
It turned a deaf ear to the presi
dent's call for a manufacturer's sales
tax, defeating this by the decisive
margin of 63 to 27 just before pass-
Ing the bill by the even wider margin
of 72 to 11. I
It beat down in rapid order a whole
succession of attempts to strike out
tariffs and revise previous decisions.!
The bill was dispatched to the ,
house for a conference to adjust '
many differences, none of which were !
expected to prove dangerous. The 1
prospect waa it would be ready for '
the president's signature by the mid- .
die of next week.
After the terrific grind, the senate !
was weary and short-tempered at
tho final vote. It heard a last rush
of debate In which two Democrats,
Olass of Virginia, and Tydlngs, of
Maryland, argued the bill would fall
to balance the budget. To this Reed, .
of Pennsylvania, a d m 1 n 1 s tratlon
spokesman, sharply answered that
with the 238.000,000' economy bill,
tho aim would be certainly accom
plished.. , I
Economy BIU Up Next
This economy bill was ready to
take the tax bill's place Immediately
me senate reconvened at noon. -
As It now stands, the tax bill Is
the largest revenue-raiser ever ad
opted by this government In peace
time, its income tax-rates are equal
to the Immediate postwar levies, be-.
ginning at four per cent on the first
4000 and swiftly mounting.
1 carries a tremendous sweep of
cxclso taxes which will probably tap
the pocketbook of every American. It
provides four new' tariffs:: oh petro
leum, coal, - copper , and lumber. '
It Imposes higher postage rates, be-
blnnlng with three cents for each
letter. It . places a range of new
taxes on financial transactions of all
kinds, from stock market deals to
routine porsonal bank checks.
So determined was the senate to
mako enactment of the bill Its ans
wer to all doubts' and fears of the
nation's stability, that Vice President
Curtis even named the men who will
confer with members of the house
on Idjustlng the bill. Senators
Smoot, Watson and Reed, Republi
cans, Harrison and King Democrats,
were given' this task. ......
Earlier Curtis had adopted "rail
roading" tactics to rush the finish,
cutting Into debate to put the vote

LEADERSHIP RACE
WAGED IN SALEM
(Continued from Pago Ono)
Frank Lonergan, speaker of the
house at the -last session and who led
tho ticket in Multnomah county pri
maries for re -election to the house, is
again being urged to run for presid
ing officer. Earl Snell of Arlington,
who prior to the clcuo of the 1931
session had lined up strong fon.es, is
also a candidate, while Herbert Gor
don of Portland, who was defeated for
speaker by Lonergan at the last ses
sion, again will be a candidate.
In the senate friends of the ad
ministration and of Wtllard L. Marks
are urging the Albany senator to eub-;
mit his name for re-election as prctft-:
dent of the upper house While Marks !
so far has refused to consider run-
nlng, it was believed probable ho may
enter at the last moment, political '
observers here say. Marks has served
as governor three or four times dur
ing the past two years In the absence
of Governor Julius L. Meier from tho
state.

when he beat John Black and Bob

the caddie ranks then and the sud
den rise to the heights made him a
trifle dizzy.
He is still chockful of assurance,
critical, somewhat quick-tempered
and apt to disturb the more sensi
tive of his brethren by his out
spokenness. There's no middle ground with
Sarazen. You either like or dislike

a greater "finisher" now in medal

The lack of enthusiasm; on the
part of Bob KIcsel, sensational Cal
ifornia sprinter, for any part of the
Olympic Games, recalls the some
what avmllnr case of another educat
ed athlete, Launcelot Ross of Yale;
Four years ago Ross was one of
the sweetest quarter-mllers In col
lege. He won the national Indoor
300-yard championship. He louKed
like a sure thing to make the Olym
pic team In the 400-meter run.
But It also happened Ross liked
to sing. He belonged to the Yale
Glee club and when this organiza
tion scheduled a few touring engage
ments at the same time as the Olym- .
pic tryouts, Ross was found among
the college warblers, not the quarter-mllers.
He's widely known around the stu
dios now as "Lanny Ross." .
FOXX IN HIGH
One of the few spring predictions
concornlfife the Athletics to be ful
filled Is the return of Jlmmle Foxx
to high-powered hitting form.
The big, round-faced Maryland
boy looked great down In Fort My
ers and he has been stamping his
extra "x" all over the American
league records so far.
Cotoilo Mack once told me Foxx,
when he connected, coulo) produce
the most prodigious clouts of any
rlghthanded batsman In the history
of baseball. There are many old
timers, watching "Foxxy" this
spring. wsj agree that he belongs
with Delehanty, Lajole and Horns -by
for long range work.
Unless Al Simmons snaps out of
his slump he will find his batting
crown snatched away by the big fel
low who follows him In the A's bat
ting order.
This is Jlmmle's eighth season
with the Mackmen. although he will
not be as years old until October n
His best season waa 1929 when he
hit .354, but he dropped tot ,291 lat
year. .
