In submitting; his annual re port, took a slap at Governor West, whom he charged with -political In trigue" when the executive vetoed the livestock sanitary law enacted at the last session of the Legislature. "This measuro was of the very great est Importance to the dairy Interests of the state and we folt that Governor West made a serious mistake when h disapproved It." said Mr. Bhrock. -We must re-new our efforts -next year for the re-enactment of this and other needed measure of- legislation." Sssall MesBkerabl Deplored. Mr. Ehrock deplored the fact that although there are approximately 1S. 000 dairymen in the state, the member ship of th association was only 70 and of that number only SI wera actively enraged In the dairy business. The re tiring; secretary told of having; last year established In connection with his work a dairymen's labor bureau, by means of which considerable assist ance had been afforded In finding; em ployes. The association decided to maintain the bureau. It was voted to place the bureau In chars; of the sec retary, whose salary was Increased from t0 to flOO annually. A charge of fl la to be paid by every dairyman who applies to tha bureau and is sup plied with a laborer from that source. J. C Brown, of Shedd. and II E. Judd, deputy dairy commissioner, ' discussed -Co-operative Marketing of Milk and Cream." Mr. Judd argued that the farmer should not make It his sole object to get the highest possible price for his product and ahould be sat isfied with obtaining- only what the market Justified. Both speakers em phasised the need of eo-operatlon on the part of .farmers If their best inter ests were to b served and promoted. Yearly Shew Faverea. Professor F. Lb Kent, of Corvallls, advocated a Pacific Northwest dairy how to bo held next year. The enter prise was Indorsed and the following committee was named to co-operate with other organisations to the end that such an exhibition is arranged: William Schulmerich, John B. Stump, Thomas CarmichaeL barry West and E. L. Thompson. Mrs. Annie L Hughes, of Clackamas County, told how by applying practical methods she had Increaaed the annual sale of cream from 141 to $101 a cow. From a herd of eight cows In 1905. Mra Hughe sold an average of 170 pounds of butter fat a cow, netting 142.40 a cow. For the year ending October, this year, 11 cows produced an average of 210.1 pounds of butter fat, which sold for 191. i cow. The net revenue from the herd for the year was $1111 11. L. E. Warner, of YoneaUa. Douglas County, related a similar experience, increasing the production of butter fat in his herd from 110 to 1S2 pounds a cow in six years. Expert Praise Ea tries. John Sollle, of Albert Lea, Minn., who Judged the dairy exhibit, compli mented the exhibitors and told them that some of the butter exhibited was the finest dairy product h had aver seen. He urged butter-makers to at tend the short course that Is conducted at the State Agricultural College an nually, saying the instruction to be ob tained at these courses Is Invaluable to the dairyman If he would improve the quality of his product and at the same time increase his earnings. The dairymen were welcomed to Portland by O. F. Johnson, on behalf of the Commercial Club. To this ad dress Carle A b rams, president of the association, responded and read his annual address. The candidacy of I. O. Lively for livestock commissioner of the Panama-Pacific Exposition was indorsed. Speaking to the dairymen, Mr. Lively gave the assurance that he always could be dependel upon to do everything within his power to help them. Following the election of officers for the ensuing year. the association adopted the Invitation of the Albany Commercial Club and will hold its next meeting In the Linn County metropolis.

ANNUAL COW SHOW LOOMS State Slaughter of Animal In Tn berculool Crusade) Blamed for Shortage BUI to Reimburse Owners Is Advocated. BT ADDISON BENNETT. Th Stat Dairymen' Association as sembled In the Woodmen of the World Hall, on Eleventh street, yesterday, as sort or finale of the butter and cheese men's meet, and the meeting will continue throughout today. Everybody will understand that there must be Intimate relations be tween the butter and cheese makers and the dairymen, for the dairy cow is t the foundation of such industries. The membership of the two associa tions Is largely made up of the same persona all working together for the good of the dairy business in the state. The attendance yesterday was much better than at the butter and cheese- makers meeting, consequently the in terest seemed to be deeper. The speak ers were listened to with marked at tention, and after each address was made tr paper read there was a run ning fire of 1 comment, criticism and questioning. Such proceedings augur well for the association, showing that the members are in real earnest in their work, and resolved to get the greatest benefit from the gathering. Cow Display Proposed. On of the subjects brought up was the question of holding a dairy show next year at the Union Stockyards, D. O. Lively offering the association every facility there available, without any charge. This offer was looked upon favorably by the members, and more than likely we will have such a show next Fall. If we do, we ought to have as fine a display of dairy stock, dairy product and dairy machinery and equipment a was ever placed on ex hibition in the West. Oregon has the cows to make almost an Incomparable display. It Is a tru ism that we have some of the finest thoroughbred Holsteln and Jersey cows, calves and bulls that there are In the United States, and we ought to be able to get the dairymen interested to such an extent as to have a splendid show. As to the machinery," equip ments and accessories the dealers would fall over themselves in getting up a magnificent showing. There ought to be no trouble In raising the money to give prises worth competing for. On fact brought out at the meeting yesterday was th shortage of dairy cows in the state. If one wants to .go into the business at present. It is pret ty difficult to buy good stock at rea sonable prices. If some way could be devised to supply even th demand now prevalent, a big Impetus would be giv en the dairy industry. The deplorable part of the story Is that this shortage has been shown for a number of years, which account in a great meaaure for th fact that th present number of dairy cows in Oregon, estimated by the best authorities at 175,000. Is practical ly the same a It waa three or four years ago. Perhaps this state of affairs can in a measure be accounted for by the furore that was recently created by the war made upon cows afflicted with tuberculosis. and the wholesale slaughter of such annlmala. This worked a great hardship on a good many worthy people, who had but a faint idea of the disease In their herd until an inspector came along and slaughtered them. It Is. said that the loss to these owners was over 135,000, and not a cent was paid to them. In other states the taxpayers at large reimburse such unfortunates, and at-the last session of the Legislature a bill waa paased for the payment of a moderate sum for every animal killed. Governor West vetoed this bill, giving as his reason, I sm Informed, that "the matter can wait for a couple of years." The dairymen at the next session of the Legislature expect to make a united effort to have such a bill again passed, and also get three or four deputies to the State Food and Dairy Commissioner whose sole duties will be to Inspect the dairies regularly. and not only , I ft... ...m.antlv A It lS regularly. mu . -- - now, the inspection under the pure food laws of groceries, liquors nu i.m .. . .11 nt the time of iicios ui - the deputies, leaving the dairy inspec tion very lnrrequent. Oleo Is Bnffeted. Aa to the ultimate outcome of the crusade against diseased stock there can be no question but that It will re dound to h betterment of tho busi ness; but the losses ought to be more evenly distributed. At least that is the consensus of opinion among tbos moa. interested. Old "Oh Marley Oerene," usually called oeomargarlne, oftener hortened to oleo. came In yesterday for knock down blows from th members. They have no objection to the making or sale of this article but they want It to all under Ha proper colors, the same aa butter does. If It la -ood. or. as some aay, better than butter, then why color ltT The coloring surely doea not improve Its quality in any way what ever. It is given the appearance of butter simply to fool the people, as it often doea The dairymen are going to see if oleo cannot be made to atand on ta own record In Oregon. One of the speakers yesterday said that we have more than 12.000.000 un productive cows now in thla country cowa that do not produce milk enough to pay their board and lodging. And the deplorable part of thla is that far too many of this number are owned In Oregon. Lota of them do not earn for their owners over S3 or 4 a month, whereas our best atock paya aa much as $140 a year. It is to remedy these faults of the dairymen that the association Is work ing In season and out of season; and meetings like that now In session will have nruch to do in educating the own ers of dairy sto'ek. Of all the producers the dairyman should be the greatest reader, the greatest student. Two or three good dairy papers and a few standard books will repay the dairy man tenfold every year. Hoards DaJryman, recognized the world over as authority In the dairy business, should be taken and studied regularly, and some of our state papers are of great help. There Is no other teach ing so readily understood, so easily as similated, as the teaching about th care of the cow. That 1 why the "oook dairymen" get to the front, and leave the Illiterates in the rear. One speaker yesterday asked a series of questions of a large number of dairymen in Clackamas County, one of which was. "What dairy papers do you read?" One of the answers was, "The Appeal ' to Reason:". Strange to aay. that dairyman Is not making much progress in the business! Another speaker, a young man who was laughed at a few years ago when he embarked In the business, and was dubbed by hi neighbors "The green horn schoolboy farmer of Aumsvllle," gave great credit to the Oregon Agri cultural College for his success. He has taken two short Winter courses at that institution, and he says It wss the making of him. Many others said that every owner of half a dozen cowa In tha state should take at least one bourse at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. And thjs regardless of age. for one of those who spoke hss hair whit ened by many Winters. He said the money the course cost was a paying Investment. We all know Oregon Is a splendid state for pursuing the dairy business. Every dairyman In the United States who knows anything about conditions awsy from home admits that at some future day this state will be the largest producer of dairy products in the coun try. It is bound to be if we only half way take advantage of our unequaled conditions. LIQUOR TAX $10 1912 PROBABLE Committee Advocates Increas ing License From $800 to Shut Out Low Places. SALES TO GIRLS OPPOSED Rise to Be Effective Next Year If Council Passes It as Many Have Paid In Advance Montaj la Only - Opponent. The annual retail liquor license in Portland will be increased from $800 to $1000 if the vote of the liquor license committee of the City Council yesterday la upheld by the Council. The com mittee, after hearing arguments, de cided yesterday that the fee of $800 a year Is insufficient and allows too many poorly conducted saloons in the city, particularly In the outlying districts. A vote was taken and the proposed In crease was carried by 3 to 1. Council man Montag being the only member of the committee opposed to the Increase. The new rate could not be applied to the first half of 1912, because the li censes are due December 1 of this year and the City Auditor now has about $40,000 in certified checks from saloons covering licenses at the $800 rate. The committee will meet next Thursday morning to consider applications for li censes for the first half of next year. The committee - adopted a measure prohibiting girls under 21 years of age from entering public dining-rooms where liquor is sold unless accompanied by a parent or husband. The measure has been up for consideration for more than a month, objection having been made to parts of the original bill, which, it was thought, could be con strued to prohibit girls from drinking at home or in hotel dining-rooms if ac companied by their parents. The measure as adopted provides that a girl under 21 years can only go into a public dining-room where liquor Is served when accompanied by one or both parents or by her husband. The ordinance is aimed at the lower-class restaurants and grillrooms, where girls under 21 years of age are attracted. PUBLIC MARKETS LEGAL City Attorney Holds That City I Empowered to Establish Them. The City Council has the power to establish publlo markets . within the city and has a means of raising the 'necessry money for their estbllshment and maintenance, declares City At torney Grant in a written opinion sent yesterday to the Council' special pub lic market committee. Attorney Grant says the Legislature in 103 delegated power to the Council to establish market places and pro vided that money required could be taken from the city's general fund. Inasmuch aa the general fund la ex hausted.' Attorney Grant says the mar ket may be established by the people amending the charter and authorizing a bond issue. At the same time a chart er amendment providing for a tax levy for the raising of money for mainte nance of the market Is considered ad visable by Attorney Grant. The market committee will meet Monday to 'consider the market plans in detail and will hear reports from a number of associations and clubs re garding the advlsabtllty of the plan suggested by C E. S. Wood for co operative stores owned by the public.
