tion are to be touch t out, and that he
had ascertained that tha organisation
which fostered the new taxation plan In
I tha last campaign will be plentifully
supplied with money to be spent In a
campaign of education.
Mr. Veazle decried tha plan of making
the land bear all tazea aa visionary, and
pointed out many reasons why It would
prove unsatisfactory. Instead of mak
ing tha state a universal landlord. At

Multnomah Undecided Be
tween President of Senate
and Speaker of House.
LEGISLATORS JN CAUCUS
Sentiment rrcvalla That County U
KntlUed to One of Two Posi
tions nowerman'i Desire
31 ay Affect Result.
Whether to try to ela-rt a Speaker of
the lower House or the President of the
Senate In the next Legislature Is a prob
lem puzzling the members of the Multno
mah County legislative delegation.
To decide the puzzle, one meeting has
been held and another Is planned for an
early date. The legislators Denevo uik
nomah County la entitled to one of the
two big places In the Legislature, but
It Is doubted that both can be captured,
although members of the Multnomah del
egation are to be found who, aspire to
each of the places.
Presidency of the Senate is most, w
be desired. This dectson waa
quickly Monday when a meeting oi leg
islators was held at the Commercial
Club. At that time three of the Mult
nomah delegation were Ciscusiieo. lor w.o
Presidency of the Senate. Dan J. Ma
larkey, C. W. Nottingham and Ben Sell
ing.
,'t tb snme time It was ascertained
that two of the delegation in tha lower
House would like to be Speaker. The
two are A. O: ltushllght and Jamea Ab
bott. "But we cant very wen gei pom
places," suggested Representative -ui-
11ns, who acted as cnairman oi
meeting.
.There was no dissenting voice from
the opinion that the presidency of the
Senate waa the more attractive place.
But Inasmuch aa three Senators were
considered It could not be readily de
termined which one should be selected
as rne choice or tno ooieRauuu.
will be considered In a few days.
Mr. Collins will call the next meeting
soma time mis wees,, mo iim
place to be decided on by him. In the
meantime an effort will be made to
center on one of the three aspirants
for the presidency. There is a general
Inclination among the delegation to be
lieve the place will go to either Mr.
Malarkey or Mr. Selling at least. faaC
one of those two will get the support
of the Multnomah delegation.
Another point must be looked into, so
It was decided. That Is whether Jay
Bowerman wants to succeed himself as
president of the Senate. Mr. Bower
man aerved In that capacity at the last
session, but wtaether he desires to suc
ceed himself or whether he could com
mand strength sufficient to Insure his
re-election are points to be canvassed.
In the event that the prealdency of
the Senate Is found difficult of attain
ment by tha Multnomah delegation, mv
speakership of the House will be gone
after without quesflon or Investiga
tion aa the delegation takes the stand
that Multnomah Is entitled to one of
the two places and should have Its way
In rhat respect.

Slexlford Trafflo Bureau Alleges
Higher Rated In Oregon Than
Are Charged in California.
MEDFORD, Or., Nov. 15. (Special.)
Chief Examiner Pugh, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Is in Med
ford he&rinc the arguments of the
Medford Traffic Bureau and the South
era Pacific Railroad concerning the re
duction of freight rates between Med
ford and points In Northern California.
The Medford Traffic Bureau was rep
resented by its rate expert. Frank M.
McCune, of Spokane, and three mem
bers of the bureau.
It was shown by Attorney McCune
that the Southern Paciflc charges a con
siderably higher rate in Oregon than
In California, despite the fact that the
actual cost of transportation per mile
In Oregon Is less than in the latter
state. The profits per mile In Oregon
are considerably greater than in Cali
fornia. Medford Jobbers submitted figures
showing that due to the high freight
rates and discriminations made In favor
of California shippers they could ship
goods by wagon to points In the val
ley on the Southern Paciflc cheaper
than by rail.
For a three-mila haul. Just over the
California side of the boundary, the
cost la 6 cents per hundred, but for the
same load, carried two miles on the
Oregon side of the line, a charge of 14
cents Is made.

Married for the second time. , after
hearing from her husband that he had
divorced her. Alice Grlnstead. a young
girl from Minnesota, came to thla city
a few dav ago. to discover that her for
mer husband had provided himself with
a. new wife and that no divorce proceed

deluded woman yestayday appealed to tha
District Attorney and swore to a com

MEAT PRICES ARE LOWER

out exception. Louisville and Atlanta,
however, reported that there was no
perceptible change. Mobile, Ala., re
ported a reduction of 9V4 cents a pound
in the price of Thanksgiving turkeys.
Better Cuts Decline First.
New Tork. the greatest consuming
point of fresh meat in the country,
noted first a marked reduction In the
price of the better cuts of beef and then
a greater decline In all grades of pork
and pork products. Sirloin steak, for
merly sold at 24 cents a pound, brought
only 22 cents today and porterhouse
dropped from 28 and 30 cents to 25 and
27 cents. The reduction, most generally
affecting the local markets was that in
fresh pork, cuta that sold recently at
22 cents being quoted tody at 18 and
even lower. Lard went" down 2 cents.
Only the best grade! of ham and bacon
were unaffected.
Leading wholesale dealers attribute
the decline to the year's bumper crop
of corn and the stimulating effect on
the production of pork that has been
exercised by the recently extremely
high prices. As Secretary Wilson said
the other day, the farmers have been
raising more meat products and there
haa been a great supply of feed.
Chicago Predicts Further Drop.
A decline today in the Chicago prices
at the stockyards was followed bjr a
reduction of fresh meats and staples.
Commission men here today predicted
lower prices on everything except
eggs, which they say axe high and go
ing higher.

mutton from 10 .
noted recently, due to the general In
crease of meat prices, a growing de
mand for the cheaper cuta. and these
did not decline so much as the better
grades. Everything except ham and
bacon declined In Indianapolis. Mil
waukee waa one of the exceptions of
the day. There the pricea of foods
generally, except meat, went off. but
meat did not change, aji 1
were cheaper In Detroit. Omaha, St.
Paul and cities of the Central West.
In Pittsburg the expected decline In
meats haa been offset to some extent
by a marked rise In eggs. Philadel
phia dealers seem to have little confi
dence in the permanency of the reduc
tion In meat prices, for they are laying
in large stocks in the expectation of
an early return to the old figures.
In San Francisco and Los Angeles
the reductions reached the consumer
in only a few instances. Los Angeles
reports cheaper lard, the high price
having fallen from 18 to 15 cents, but
the decrease of half a cent In the
wholesale price of bacon haa not af
fected the retail figures. Tha price of
turkeys is three cents higher than last
year, but dealera say that the quality
Is that much better.
A curious situation develops In Se
attle and Spokane, in which cities, al
though the Eastern quotations usually
govern, there la a decline In pork
producta and an Increase, or prospec
tive increase, in the prices of i fresh
meats. Fish is lncreaaing in price In
Seattle, in spite of growing supply.
In the wholesale district, in Wash
ington, 1. C the price of beef was
reported reduced between 4 and 5 cent!
a pound by the packers. The price of
pork went down about 3 cents. Hope
was held out that mutton and veal anu
other products of the packing houses
would follow in thi downward move
ment. Retailers in Washington have
not heard of the decrease officially ex
cept as to the price of pork. Beef waa
selling today as high as ever in tha
retail shops.

John Cort Signs Ten-Year
Agreement With "Trust."
ENTIRE BOOKINGS SECURED
Telegram Is Sent From Cleveland j
Telling; of Exclusive Right in,
Western Towns Where Associa

The latest expression in the controver
sy between John Cort. manager of tha
National Theater Owners' Association,
and Klaw & Ertanger, styled "the synd
icate," Is In a telegram received last
night from John Cort at Cleveland, which
reads:
"The agreement signed between Klaw

west Theatrical Association for a
period of ten years gives us the exclusive
syndicate bookings for the entire West
where they do not now have theaters.
A similar oontract applies to rauenai
Theater Owners'. Association. All syndi
cate attractions that can bo routed will
be seen this season."
This would indicate that Cort nan
signed with the syndicate for another
ten years. The salient feature or me
telegram is believed to rest in the word
now." No doubt Klaw & erlanger
could contend that the contract for the
new theater In Portland is equivalent.
to having it already In existence. The
natural Inquiry among the theatrical
men of the city is why mention was
made of "where they do not now have
theaters" In the Cort contract. They
have no theatera in the Cort territory

Klaw & Erlanger are under contract
with the Sweeney Investment Company
for a new theater In Portland wnicn
