The glamor that surrounds all for

fame. "The Woman fromi Monte

Speaker Garner at his dully con

"Wo loan the shipping Interests

so vigorously attacked, wns "not

It Is sound economy to build that
which wo need when costs nro low,"
he until, "and costs are low Indeed
today. It Is sound economy to put

"And that program represented a

Would Help Many
Wagner estimated that the entire
bill would provide Jobs for a full
year to 2,000,000 workers and tho
public works alone would provide
for 600.000 Jobs.
"In addition It should bo remem
bered," ho added, "that these 2,000,
000 wage earners would spend their
wages upon food, clothing, and a
multitude of other commodities and
thus put to work an endless chain of
additional workers."
Tho senate bill, Wagner sold, would
"launch 0. direct ottock upon tho dif

ing a demand for commodities and
thus help check prlco deflation, stim
ulating trade and Industry and open

Butter Prices Not
Changed Despite
Supply Increase
Chicken Weakness Believ'
: ed Subsiding; ' Demand
' For Veal Favorable and
Mutton Improves.
1
PORTLAND, June 25 VP) Lack
of price change in the butor trade
appears due mostly to continuance
of the efforts of speculative interests
to protect their storage supplies.
Increasing make of butter con
tinues a big surprise along the Paci
fic slope.-
During the weekend session of the
produce exchange there was no
change in the price list for cubes
and a .similar condition was reflected
on the. open market for both prints
and cubes.
Butterfat values are at least steady.
Trading In the egg market showed
generally Improved sentiment with
late price advances more easily main
tained. Here and thero some diffi
culty Is shown in mslntainlng .values
with underselling by producers to
dispose of their supplies direct to
retailers, -,
The late weakness in the market
for spring chickens appears to be
subsiding somewhat. In fact some
of the leaders of the trade suggest
that a shortage will soon be shown
with betterment In prices.
Rather favorable demand for lamb
Is showing along the wholesale way
tor country killed offerings with
some slight Improvement for mutton.
While prices continue . low, the
movement of tomatoes has been con
siderably sided by the sharply lower
prices lately forced. The big move
ment from hothouses Is .said to be
nearly over., The Dalles Is shipping
a' slightly groat amount of hothouso
with next week's movement sched
uled to .be heavier.-- ..V--. , .
Some Improvement was noted In
the - weekend demand - Jot strawber
ries and a slight, rise in' price re
sulted. .Raspberries' were In better
call - and- even . loganberries 1 -have
started to show some movement.
Thero is. a scarcity of quality head
lettuce at. the moment with prices
steady to firm for the best avail
able.:. In fact all lettuce is finding
an improved -.call. .- - ,
SUGGESTS SPECIAL
SESSION TO CHANGE
AUTO LICENSE LAW
(Continued From Page One)
farmersmerchants, laborers and oth
ers are unable at this tlnfe to pay
tneir xtm year's license fee required
on their motor vehicles. As a con
sequence, many of them will bo un
able to continue their present lines
of Industry. The situation la one
that In my mind Justifies drastic
legislative action. Therefore I am
proposing that there be held a spe
cial three-day session of the legisla
ture to enact a law providing that
motor vehicle fees may be paid in
quarterly installments and also mak
ing Borne reasonable reductions In the
amount of fees; that the public spirit
or the legislators be appealed to for
the elimination of all employes and
clearlcal help during tho session, the
minimum or such aid as Is necessary
be furnished by state officers whoso
own work might bo to some extent
hold temporarily In abeyance.
Officers Should Wait
"In the meantime, If the session bo
called, the law enforcing officers
should wait until the legislature can
act, although no one has an author
ity to dcclaro what Is called a mora
torium. Qf course only the legisla
ture Itself could limit tho length of
the session or Its expenditures, but
no doubt the members would rtec to
the emergency."
Senator Eddy stated that If the spe
cial session Is called by tho gov
ernor, extreme care should be taken
In enacting a new license law. It Is
not practical, In his opinion, to. ro-
dilco fees to a point where tho state
highway bond retirement program
would be affected, and In view of tho
federal taxes on gasoline there Is lit
tle possibility of adding a further tax
for state purposes. It is also neces
sary, ho thinks that the state high
way compassion be furnished with
sufficient funds to carry on emer
gency relief work during the coming
fall and winter. He believes, however,
that a provision enabling auto ve
hicle owners to pay licenses quarter
ly would result in Increased revenue
to tho state And would at the same
time greatly benefit the motor vehicle
owners.
Reconituetions Cause
The precursor of every great pe
riod of social and political recon
struction hns Invariably been, as
John Stun ft .Mill has pointed out.
"a great change In the opinions and
modes of thinking of society."

Price on Peas Up
As Demand Grows
PORTLAND. June 25 W) There
Is a keen demand for peas and prices
are showing an upward awing after
recently touching a new low mark.
The latter have appeared In the field
and are taking everything in sight
and at prices that are around 3c
for ground stock and 3o lb. for polo
oiferlngs. Recently sales on the open
market have been as low aa 2c lb.
with a general 3c top.
Now market prices have advanced
to as high a j fie with occasional sales
of selected stock fic lb. The sharp
advance Is duo to the sudden appear
ance of the canners In the market
Just at the time when everyone
thought they had quit.
New pea crop Is just coming on In
local sections and the advances will
be welcomed by growers generally.
Shipping demand has been good
during recent days but the volume of
sales has been held back by the tem
porary scarcity of tho telephone
variety.
