I', gets it in the neck. That's why the bill was beaten and a* long as the legis lators we send up to Salem every two years have the final word, that's where the public will usually get it. Speaking of final words, we have an initiative power vested in the peo ple of Oregon which i* an efficient weapon with which to attain our ends. With it we obtained practically every bit of progressive legislation enacted in the last decade and a half. Through the initiative a textbook law will eventually be enacted. It will never come through the legisla ture, unless an enormous pressure is brought to bear upon it by the peo ple, and the people are not cohesive — they haven't the close-knit, fighting organisation which enables the oppo sition to get what it wants with reg ularity. Having failed in the legislature, textbook advocates will do well to prepare and initiate a bill which gives them what they desire If it origi nate with its friends and is not too radical in its provisions, school pat rons will step into the breach and put the measure over with a whoop. It’s the only way we will obtain it. J P. LARSEN, Reai Estate, Insurance 6702 Foster Road PH0NES Business Aut 601-79 We Can Move 8522 Foster Road Residence Main 3359 S MOVING vJ 1’1 VZ ▼ 1 1 ........

MAJOR JOHN J. MURRAY BURIED LAST WEEK Funeral services for Major John J. Murray, native of England, distin guished actor of Shakespearean roles. Spanish War veteran and business man. who died early last week at his residence, 1126 62nd street, were held on Thursday of last week from Kin worthy's chapel at 10 a. ni. The deceased was born in 1-ondon in 1852. spending nine years of his early life in Australia and coming to New York soon after the close of the Civil war. For ten years he was on the New York stage, awociated with George Sammis, Alexander Salvini. Robert Graham. Henry E. Dixie, J. Wilkes Booth and J K. Emmet. Major Murray’s father was the or iginal manufacturer of oleomargarine and for some time the deceased was associated with him in Chicago per fecting his product. During the Span ish-American war he served with the Black Hussars of Chicago and at the close of the war was commissioned major of cavalry. 'fhe Murray family has resided in Portland since 1913. He is survived by his widow, two sons. Clarence E Murray of Aurora, 111., and John J. Murray of Portland: his daughter. Gladn< -s N. Murray, of Portland; al so two brothers and two sister«. The decline in the price* of agricul tural products and other raw mater ials has effected a substantial reduc tion in living costs. The high cost of lirtng of which the wage-earners now complain, is in their own wage scale«. This is the situation which every body is side-stepping. while looking hopefully from day to day for better times. Eor instance, the baker cannot re i I duce the price of bread to correspond i with the reduction in flour, because t flour is only one item in his costs. His labor, delivery cost«, machinery, coal, freight charges, supplies, etc.. which mainly represent labor, have not come down to correspond with wheat or flour. The building industry is marking time, although the need for construc tion work is greater than ever before, vecause the high costs are prohibitive •e- If building should go on under these conditions the costs would be eharge- I able in the form of high rental«, largely for labor to pay. Would-be builders doubt if they can obtain such rentals and building is almoat at a standstill in consequence. Wage rates in terms of money should have a decree of flexibility, giving them a relation to the selling value of pro ducts. High wage-scales which pro can only bring RUNAWAY HORSES ARE hibit I employment __ ,_____ business stagnation and hardship.
