Tle&ulate the Jitneys." was the cry raised yesterday by the Western As sociation of Short Line railways, in cession at the Multnomah Hotel. In a resolution adopted at the clos ing meeting yesterday afternoon, the fact that Jitneys and auto buses, with in the last year, have come into free and open competition with the railroads is referred to as a basis for their complaint that these Jitneys are not regulated. On the other hand, it is pointed cut that the railroads, which operate over private rights of way and at great expense, are subject to severe regulations, both as to service and as to rates, and that they contribute largely to the support of their re spective communities by payments of taxes. The resolution concludes with the declaration that' the protection of rail road investments and the wellbeing of the public "demand that all automo biles in competition with existing reg ulated steam and electric railways eball similarly be regulated." More Pay for Mall Wanted. Other matter discussed were. "The Tlailway Mail Pay Situation," "Devel opment of Parcel Post Business in Competition With Freight Traffic." Federal Valuation of Railways Act," "legislation Unfavorable to Railroads" and "Corporation Purchasing of Sup plies." Proposed legislation In the matter f railway mail pay and the Jitney problem were declared scrious men aces to the future operation of many of the small properties. Amons the points made were that un. fkr-payrnent by the Government for mail service either was inflicting an unjustified burden on the passenger pa trons of the railways or equally un justifiably saddling a serious loss on the carriers. A committee consisting of C. T. Karly. K. B. PeDsra. V. B. Wood, H. Jlirschberg and tiny W. Talbot was named to confer with the Oregon Pub lic Utilities Commission on the ques tion of securing better rates of mail pay. -'n-H State ReprMfatH.

Mr. Lea's Declination or Office la Sig nal for Renewal of KHtrta oat I Prt of Seekers. Another applicant has entered the lists as an active candidate for State Came Warden. He is Hilton A. Dem mer, of Portland, and he is the third Portland man after the job. the other two being- J. E. Cullison and L. I W. Qulmby. Since the announcement in The Ore Ron ian Tuesday that A. H. lea. of Portland, had decided not to accept the appointment of Game Warden, which was confirmed by Mr. Lea, there has been a notable renewal of efforts for consideration on the part of many pre vious applicants. Just at present the candidate with the rosiest chance' ap pears to be P. 31. Brown, editor of the Brownsville Times, who was appoint ed Chief Deputy Game Warden when Mr. Lea was named Game Warden. Carl Shoemaker, editor of the Rose burg News, also has many supporters among the sportsmen. Clyde McKay Deputy Game Warden at Bend, pre viously mentioned as a receptive can didate, is not seeking the place, it was learned yesterday. Others in addition to those already named, however, who are up and doing, include Edward Morgan, of Yamhill: ('. K. Cranston, of Pendleton; J. H. Westcott. of Gaston, and It. W. Ewing. of Medford. Mr. Kwing is known to have the support of C. K. Stone, of Klamath Falis, a member of the State I-'ish and Game Commission. At the meeting at which Mr. Lea was appoint ed Commissioner Stone voted for Mr. Kwing on the first ballot. A curious misconception appears to have gained headway to the efect that the Fish and Game Commission at its next meeting, June 21, should not ap point a Portland man as Game War den on the ground that R. K. Clanton. Master Fish Warden, is a Portland man and that Portland should not have both Places. This view would be a correct one were it true that Mr. Clanton was appointed as a Portland man; but this Is not true. Mr. Clanton is a Grants Pass man. and went into the ish and game service as a deputy several years ago from that city, later being advanced to Mas ter Fish Warden. As his headquarters In that capacity have been in Portland, of course he has had to liva here dur ing his incumbency, and when he was reappointed by the present Commission he was living in Portland. This no more makes him a Portland appointee, however, than the fact that Governor Withycombe durinjr his term as Gov ernor lives in Salem makes him a Sa lem man. ' a mm 1 .V 7 St, K?sf. A .... ....

Masonry in Oregon has been making substantial progress in the last year, according to reports received at the sessions of the various Masonic organ izations that have been holding their annual conventions here this week.

The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Oregon opened its sessions yesterday and heard the pleasing report from James F.

Circuit Judge IDavls yes terday sustained, this demurrer, thus settling the case in favor of the city and the board. FILM CENSORSHIP LEGAL CIRCCIT JIOGB DAVIS SUSTAINS CITV IX ORDINANCE PASSED. Contention of Kdnln- James That Act Is Delegation of Power and Un lawful Srlsare Not Upheld. Portland's motion picture censorship ordinance, providing for a censorship board and requiring all pictures to be approved before they are shown, is thoroughly legal and valid. Circuit Judge Davis decided to this effect yes terday in the case of Edwin James against the city, in which the validity of the recently adopted ordinance was involved. This gives the measure a legal stand ing unlejs the case is appealed to the State Supreme Court. It is not known yet whether an appeal will be taken. As far as the Circuit Court is concerned the ordinance is valid and can be en forced. The measure was passed several months ago when a censorship board was appointed by Mayor Albee. The ordinance requires that before a pic ture is shown, at a theater It must have been viewed and approved by the cen sorship board or by -viewers appointed by the board. As soon as the board be came organized enforcement of the pro visions of the ordinance was started. Mr. James, manager of the Majestic Theater, contested the proposition on the ground that the measure was ille gal in that it was a delegation of power on the- part of the City Council and that the system Involved the con fiscation of property without due process of law. It was contended that the city has no right to pass upon motion pictures except to the extent of eliminating those which might be ob scene. City Attorney LaRoche filed a de murrer to the complaint in which it was contended that the measure was valid in every respect, the delegation Washington Gives Degrees to 3d 4. SEATTLE. Wash..
