OREGON SOCIALISTS
NEW ORGANIZATION
SALEM, Or., Aug. 4. -Socialist 1
bor" party as a title for the proposed
new political organ Itatlon la Oregon
would be in conflict with the UUe of
the present socialist party and cannot
, be used, declares Attorney-Oeneral
Brown In an opinion written tor Sec
retary of State Koier. The socialist
party Is held to be a valid party un
der the Oregon laws.
Some time ago F. T. Johns of Port
land presented petitions to Mr. Koser
calling for the organization of a new
party and signed by S6S8 persona
The number ot signatures, the attor
ney-general finds, 1 sufficient, being
more than the required 5 per cent of
the total vote cast at the last general
election. Mr. Johns held back the pe
tition g pending an opinion from tie
attorney general relative to the legal
ity of the desired party designation,
and said It tne name Were held as
conflicting Lha tame "industrial la
bor" party might be chosen.
A scon as the proposed new party
decides upon a name It may have
candidates placed on the ballot by
calling a convention, making nomin
ations and certifying the nominations
to the secretary of state. In the
same opinion Mr. Brown holds that
the prohibition party la a legally con
stituted party in Oregon, and In reply
to a question as to bow candidates
for presidential elector may be plac
ed on the ballot says a convention
must be called, nominations made and
the names of the nominees certified
to the secretary ot state by the pre
siding officer and the secretary of
the party.

PRICE BOOSTING
MOVE LAID TO
CLOTHING MEN
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Howard E.
Figg, special assistant to tie attorney
general In the enforcement of the
Iver law against profiteering, charg
ed today that manufacturer and job
bers of wearing apparel were attempt
ing through carefully prepared propa
ganda "to stampede retailers and the
public Into a renewed fictitious de
mand" for clothing, and thereby force
prices higher
"The department of justice," said
Mr! Flgg, "is fully advised of the sev
eral phases cf this carefully planned
campaign, and it only remains to fix
personal responsibility before apply
ing the criminal provisions of the
Lever act." j
Manufacturers and jobbers are even I
going to the length of "guaranteeing
the retail trade against a declining
market," Mr. Flgg said.
He called attention to instances
where mills have been closed for the
reason, he charged, of justifying mar
ket conditions on the plea of under
production. "The closing of mills Is In turn
being used in the price propaganda,"
Mr. Flgg asserted. "The retailer Is,
then, being threatened with further
curtailment and higher prices If he
does not accept goods- and order on
the present market"
Petition for letters of administrat
ion have been filed by Ida Herman
for the estate of the late William
Griesshaber. This estate consists of

Broken
From the southern end of Canemah to the out
skirts of Canby stretches as pretty a highway as one
would wish to see, and from Aurora nearly into Salem
the hard surface road makes motoring a pleasure, but
the drive from Oregon Gty to the capital is all but
spoiled because of the condition of two links, through
the village of Canemah and between Canby and Aurora.
Only five blocks separate the planked roadway
around the basin to the pavement, but these few blocks
are a terror to tires and a curse to drivers. The road
was originally constructed and paid for by the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Co., and presented to the
county, and its surface has been picked up by thousands
of vehicles and scattered from Dan to Beersheba. Pos
sibly because it is a section of a state road, it has been
permitted to go from bad to worse.
The few miles from Canby to Aurora are no better,
and the going between Barlow and Canby is particularly
vicious. A few dollars with proper machinery would
smooth up these pieces of highway in less than a week,
but because they are marked for ultimate improvement,
they are left severely alone. It's too bad-
The other day a gentleman from the beautiful city
of Portland stalked into our sanctum and demanded to
know why it was that we permitted such things here in
Clackamas.
"You are Portland's nearest neighbor," he roared,
"and Portland pays 38 per ceait of the entire highway
fund, so why can't you keep the roads nearest Multno
mah county in a passable condition. Portland is paying
millions of dollars into the road funds and does not get
a dollar in return, and all it asks is a decent road through
Clackamas into Marion. Why in hades don't you wake
up and fix your roads?"
But we passed the buck. We have troubles of our
own. We are not the county court, nor the highway
department, nor even the roadmaster, thanks be! Nor
do we drive out of the south end of Oregon Gty any
oftener than absolutely necessary to keep tab on the
geography of the county.
