TITE aiQRXIXQ OTCEGOXIATT. TTEDXESDAT, OCTOBER 13, 1916. 13 JITNEY COMMITTEE UNABLE TO AGREE Mr. Dieck and Mr. LaRoche Want Free Lances Restric ted, MrDaly Says No. MAJORITY REPORT DRAWN TTnfalrness to Trolley Company lni Allowing Competitors to Skim Cream Off Traffic Expected V to Have Dire Results. "Unable to agree" was the verdict yesterday of a committee comprising City Commissioners iJaly and Dieck and City Attorney LaRoche, appointed by the City Council tp frame a pro posed franchise for Jitneys. The com mittee will report to the Council this morning that it has prepared no fran chise. Reports and views of the in dividual members will be made on the subject. When the meeting of the committee members broke up after three hours of debate yesterday afternoon they wpre no nearer an agreement than when they started except on the one point that any franchise granted shall not be for more than two years. Commissioner Dieck and City Attor ney LaRoche stood for regulation of the Jitneys on a basis consistent with regulation Imposed on the streetcar company and on a basis fair to the people of the outlying districts. Com missioner Daly stood out for allowing the Jitney to confine service to the close-in territory with limited regula tion. Mr. Daly Dlnagrftn. Mr. LaRoache presented a report cov ering his point of view and citing the results in other cities. This was con curred In by Commissioner Dieck, who supplemented the report with a state ment of routes he thinks should be taken by the Jitneys. Mr. Daly made liis report orally to the effect that he believes the Jitney should be allowed to operate in competition with the streetcar company in the thickly set tled, close-in districts without being forced to extend into the outskirts, where business would be unprofitable. In his report. City Attorney La Roche says the people most vitally Interested are those residing in the outskirts of the city, where there is no Jitney service at present. The streetcar company, he says. Is able to give service to the outlying districts only because it can use its earnings from the more congested and close-in districts as a subsidy to care for the losses from the unprofitable far-out lines. "To continue allowing the Jit ney to take away the profitable part of the business," says Mr. LaRoche. "means sooner or later a withdrawal of the service to the outskirts. There can be no other result." Extra Service Proposed. The statement is made in the report that the Jitney should be required to give service to districts not now served by the streetcar company, pass ing along streetcar lines only where it Is necessary to get into the busi ness center. This opinion is strongly concurred in by Mr. Dieck, who pre sented the committee with a list of proposed routes to bring this about. Commissioner Dieck's suggestions as to the routes to be required follow: 1. Division street line From Third and Aider across Hawthorne bridge to Eat "Water, East Clay, Eait Twelfth, Mulberry street, Harrison street, Ladd avenue. Divi sion street to Sixtieth street and return; approximate round trip eight miles. 2. Lenta line Same as Division street line to Twenty-tirst and Division,- thence to Powell Valley road to East Fifty-third street, to Foster road to Lents and return; approximate length 12 miles. 3. East Stark street line From Third and Aider, across Morrison bridge to Grand ave nue, to Stark, to Montavilla and return; 10 miles. 4. East Thirty-ninth street eroaatown From Division street to Sandy boulevard and return; five miles. 5. Fulton Park line From Third and Al der to Columbia, to Water, to Hood, to Orover, to Macadam, to Virginia and re turn; seven miles. 0. Llnnton From Third and Alder to Fourteenth, Marshall, Seventeenth, Savier, Twenty-eighth, Upshur, Twenty-ninth, St. Helens road to Linnton and return: 19 miles. 7. Holgate street line From Third and Alder across Hawthorne bridge, East Water, Clay. Eleventh, Powell Valley road. Six teenth, Holgate to Forty-eecond and return; elerht miles. fi. Irv'ngton line From Third and AlrleV across Hurnside bridge. East Twelfth, Hol laday. Thirteenth, Knott to Thirty-third and return, or, as a variation. Thirteenth to Til lamook to Thirty-aixth to Hancock, to Fifty- third and return; nine miles. O. Alameda Park line From Third and Alder across Broadway bridge, Vancouver avenue to Fremont to Forty-second and re turn; nine miles. As the proposition, stands now, the Jitneys ara running with -virtually no regulation. An ordinance has been passed requiring them to have a fran chise by November 15. "Whether this will stand or whether an extension of time will be granted is a question to be settled by the Council. This body has been working on the question for several months and. has accomplished nothing. We Give S.& H.

The courtroom was filled to capacity, he says, and the people displayed a keen Interest In the campaign Issues that he presented. On the following- clay ne aitenaea the district fair at Waldport, on iUsea Bay. He made a non-political speech there In the afternoon, but in the even ing made a partisan address In the lo cal theater. Again he was greeted with a large and attentive audienoe. Farmers from the countryside for many miles about turned out. His fourth address was at Newport on Saturday. The theater building In which the meeting was held was crowded. "Lincoln County has a registration of 2200 voters," said Senator Moser last night, "and I am convinced that Hughes will carry the county by 500 at least. Nearly half the people I saw on my trip were wearing Hughes buttons. Many others not -wearing buttons told me they were for Hughes. Only a very few registered Republicans "will vote for Wilson, and just as many Demo crats will vote for Hughes. "On my way over to Toledo I stopped at Albany and saw L. M. Curl, Willard Marks, Gale S. Hill and other party workers and they told me that Linn County would be safely Republican this year. 'I talked to people rrom -oik ana Benton counties and found that every where the Hughes sentiment was be coming stronger every day. Many per sons who a fow weeks ago indicated their Intention of voting for Wilson now are emnhatically for Hughes." Senator Moser will go to Willamina on Saturday night of this week to ad dress a Republican rally. A band con cert and torchlight parade will be some of the attending incidents. On Mon day night, November 6, he and Sena tor R. R. Butler, of The Dalles, will close the campaign at Hillsboro. BAKER DRYS TO MEET W. IT. Evans, of Portland, to Bo Chief Speaker at Tonight's Rally.

Oregon canned fruits, including cherries, apples and pears, are being held for high prices, although a large crop and a large pack has been reported. Eastern demands have quick ened the market. String beans, which were sold at $1.10 a. case by the whole sain houses, are now bought from th packers at $1.20. Canned corn, which is produced mostly In the Middle West, is not only high but the packers are unning short on deliveries, some of he Portland orders having been cut B0 er cant. Potential advances are noted in many products which have not yet ascended price. Soap, which has not been ad- anced, is costing the manufacturers ore than it did. all of the ingredients eing dearer than before. Food prices, 'compared with those of year ago, show a decided upward tendency. Nearly all lines of goods carried by grocers either have advanced in price or are expected to advance hortly. Shortages In some crops have raised prices of canned and dried fruits, while strong demands registered In Eastern markets have In some ln- tances forced up prices of commodities which were produced In abundance this ear.

Butter is S74 cents this week, while a year ago It was 34 cents. Extensive storage deposits of Putter were made in May, June and July, which kept up the prices during these months. The nrtce-i are now being held down by the sale of the butter which was stored, while later in the year they are ex pected to rise. The prices of cheese are orrespondlngly high.
