S. S. Mayer Says Retailer Can
Order Early and Save
Much for Consumer.
HOME PRODUCTS IN FAVOR
Imported Goods Are Not Xecessary
to One's Happiness, War Teaches,
and American Manufactures
Are Extending Markets.
The ability of the retail merchant to
"eal -with the problem of rlsinjr food
markets was discussed yesterday by
E. B. Mayer, of the firm of L. Mayer &
Co, who pointed out many circum
stances which are savlnsr the consumer
1 from a predicament which might other
wire be intolerable.
"Although most commodities are
. more expensive this year," said Mr.
i Mayer, "there are certain buying ad-
' vantages of which the consumer 13 free
to avail himself.
"Most merchants have foreseen the
upward tendf-ncy In prices, and are
provided with many lines of goods
Which they can sell at the old prices.
"Sudden price lnoreases have been
; forced upon some of the retail prrocers
hecause they had not followed the
wholesale markets closely enough. A
miller who desires to Insure himself
nsrainst a sudden rise in Winter wheat

I Mlity of fining certain orders will buy

Early Buying: Advised.
That Is, he will purchase "Winter

"in the same way, there are con
ditions which the grocer can meet.
Many of them are looking toward their
husiness In future years, and have ac
commodated their customs . with the
benefits of purchases which they made
hcfore the market broke.
"The present difficulty In the whole
sale market is In cases where the re
tailer had been quoted certain prices,
mid orders had been received by the
wholesaler for certain quantities of
foods.
market Koreed Up by Shortage.
"These orders were to be covered by
poods shipped from the manufactur
ers, but most of the manufacturers
have filled only a part of their orders.
In consequence, the Jobbers have had
r irn Into the open market to obtain
the rest of the goods, and the market
has been forced up.
"Many of the market conditions are
duo to larger orders of home goods.
I'eople have come to realize that Amer
icans can produce food products as
choice as the imported articles, and the
greater demand has forced prices up.
"I can name a number of articles,
however, which are associated with the
munition market, and all of these are
going up. Gelatine was formerly sold
bv the wholesaler for $1.75, and has
now advanced to $1.90. But still the
retail price has been litfle affected.
Scarcity on Itnnclie Raises Eggs.
"The high prices on butter and eggs,
I would attribute to remediable short
ages. During the Winter months, when
eggs are high, we sell greater amounts
than when prices are low. The rea
son is apparently that the rancher sud
plying homes by occasional visits has
run short and has barely enough eggs
for his own consumption. The com
mercial egg ranches alone, which oper
ate through the stores, are then obliged
to supply the market.
"If there were more of these ranches
eggs would not go so high In the nf in
ter. Of course, the ranchers complain
that feed Is higher In the Winter, but
with thorough business methods they
would be able to watch the market and
supply themselves at a much greater
advantage. This protection would af
ford us a more efficient production of
ggs. With the available land In Ore
gon it is quite necessary-for this busi
ness to be developed.
Home Products Come Into Own.
"There are several products which
are now supplied in the American mar
ket Smyrna figs, which were formerly
the preferred article, have been sup
planted by a California product. The
last Smyrna figs to be obtained In this
country by some buyers were those
which had been kept for two years,
and then redipped in glucose.
"But now the California figs, which
have been transplanted from Smyrna,
are on the market, and are better in
many ways. They are sterilized when
packed. We are never going to han
dle another imported fig in our store.
Other merchants are also favoring the
California figs. From the retail stand
point, the prices are the same as they
were before.
"The citron, orange and lemon peel
that formerly were imported can now
he obtained in this country, and the
price is the same as before.
"Anchovy paste In tubes, which had
only been produced in Germany, is
now produced in the United States, and
grocers are able to sell it at the same
price as before the war.
MISUSE OF POWER SHOWN
(Continued From First Paso.)'
Drivers' Union Intends to seek a fran
chise?" asked Commissioner Baker.
"Yes," said Mr. Moulton. "If we can
get a franchise at terms we consider
to he In our Interest we will accept It.'
"I will say for the benefit of the
Council," said Commissioner Daly,
"that I hope to have ready by Tuesday
a rough draft of a franchise for the
Council to consider. It will embrace
the ideas of some of the members of
the Council and possibly it will be ac
ceptable.
Makeshift Charge Admitted.
-men. saia mayor AiDee, "this zone
system is merely a makeshift to enable
the Jitneys to run?"
"1 consider it so," replied Mr. Daly.
"I consider that it Is a temporary plan
to meet the situation until the fran
chise question is settled."
"And that is exactly what this Coun
ell voted against," retorted Mayor
AiDee. Air. Daly made no reply, and
the underlying charges of misuse of
his (Daly s) power were pushed no
further.
Mr. Moulton announced that he wished
the Council to consider that the Jitney
Xrivers' Union has an application for
a franchise before the Council. He
said that the jitneys proposed to con
tlnue to operate under the present
ssone system subterfuge until the Coun
cil is willing to come to terms on a
franchise sought by the Jitneys.
Zone System Is "Club."
In effect. Mr. Moulton's statement was
that the Jitneys would hold the zone
system of evasion as a club over the
heads of the Council to prevent regula
tion of the Jitney unless the regula
tion Is acceptable to the Jitney. And
there the matter stands.
ft. A. Xeiter represented Vincent
Cook, who filed a protest against the
jitney-taxicab zone system on the
ground that it is discriminatory against
his section of the city, which Is close
in but still outside the jitney S-cent
zone.
"All of our legislation In' the way of
public service has been based on serv
ice to the whole public," said Mr.
Leiter. A. discrimination such as this
new zone plan is so gross and so ap
parent that it seems unnecessary to
say anything about it."
Taxicabi Are Loner.
G. W. Stapleton appeared as attorney
for the Oregon Taxicab Company.
"Beneath this Jitney agitation," said
he, "was an unfair competition between
the unregulated jitney and the Port
land Railway. Light & Power Company.
Having the object in view of eliminat
ing this unfair competition an ordi
nance was passed by this Council which
was aimed to put the two transporta
tion systems on an equitable basis. The
Jitneys refused to adhere to this and
they not only continued their cut-throat
competition with the street railway but
they also entered into unfair competi
tion with the established taxicab com
panies. "I represent a taxicab company with
stockholders and responsibility. We
are subject to call to any part of the
city and not merely along the paved
streets of the street railway company.
There now is turned loose a concert
without responsibility with which we
have to compete. That is why we are
here to protest.
Public Wot Considered.
"In framing this zone system it Is
apparent no attempt was made to
serve the public because there is left
out of these 5-cent Jitney zones, the
greater part of the city. Outside these
zones which follow the streetcar lines
the public is required to pay on an
hourly basis. Apparently in this zone
arrangement somebody had some in
terest to serve beside that of the public
because the greater part of the public
is not accommodated. These zones are
drawn for the interest and protection
of the Jitney drivers and not for the
public.
"In other words, there are no rights
held by the taxicab compantes, the
street railway company, the legitimate
for-hire car drivers or the public which
these jitney drivers have to observe.
"These zones allow additional charges
beyond the close-in districts. Suppose
the street railway company should try
to make charges on the same basis
charge 10 or 15 cents to go to Lents, or
St. Johns, or Montavilla or F"ulton.
What a terrific howl would go up. You
would not stand for it for a moment,
nor would the public. But still it is
all right for the Jitney to do this very
thing."
T"in Made for Enlr Tlay.
T. Ci. Greene, representing the Port
land Taxicab Company, said the zone
system opens up the way for all kinds
of dishonest practices on the part of
the Jitneys, which, he said, was the very
reason the taxicab ordinance under
which they are operating was passed
by the Council.
"The jitneys, the taxlcabs and the
streetcar company all want to make a
living. All we ask for is fair play
to be placed on an equality basis as
far as the city's regulations are con
cerned." Commissioner Daly submitted a
report in which he attacked the taxi
cab companies and Mr. Cook as being
there purely in the interest of the
street railway company. He contended
that the protest of "Vincent Cook
was worked up by the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company."
and that Mr. Cook was represented
by R. A. Leiter, one of the firm of at
torneys for the company. He said the
protests were all prepared In the same
style as the protest of Mr. Cook.
Mr. Moulton contended in a lengthy
argument that the jitney Is doing a
taxicab business. He said the only per
son who has a right of protest against
the zone system fixed by Mr. Daly is
a driver who has been refused a permit
to operate under the system. He con
tended that the taxicab companies are
protesting merely on the ground of the
jitneys having cut the rates of fare.
LONG BEACH GIIAXT BOUGHT
Terms of Franchise Far Stiffer Than
One Ttejected In Fortland.
An Interesting eidolight on the ques
tion of Jitney franchises is given in a
letter received yesterday by City Audi
tor Barbur from R. S. Julian, who has
acquired franchises to operate Jitneys
over two lines in Long Beach, Cal. His
franchises embody conditions and regu
lations far more drastic than the regu
lations included in the franchise the
jitneys of Portland have refused to
accept.
Mr. Julian, in his letter to Auditor
Barbur, says he cannot understand why
the jitney interests of Portland do not
accept a franchise and make a good
thing of it. "I bought a franchise here
on two streets,"" reads the letter. "One
line is 2 miles in length and the other
two miles, and paid $6600 and 3 per
cent of my gross receipts. I expect to
ask for five more streets in about thrto
months. We will give a five-minute
service all day and 10-minute service
at night with 11-passenger buses."
He inclosed with his letter copies of
the franchise he has accepted. The
franchise imposes the following regu
lations: Cash payment of $6600 for "he
franchise privileges and payment to the
city of 3 per cent of the gross receipts;
may use buses or touring cars and keep
all in neat and attractive appearance
and safe condition; must operate over
the lines from 6 A M. to 12 o'clock
midnight every day; must Issue trans
fers; must give a uniform 6-cent fare
with one-half fare for school children;
must carry free of charge all members
of the legislative body, members of the
police and fire departments and all let
tercarriers; must furnish bond of $10,-
000 for each Jitney for protection of
passengers in case of accident; must
submit machines to municipal inspec
tion, and must employ no operators
under 21 years of age; must not permit
operators to smoke.
The franchise which the Jitneys' in
Portland refused to accept had the fol
lowing provisions: Muet give $400 bond
for each jitney: must carry uniformed
policemen and firemen free in cars car
rying more than seven passengers;
must pay one-twentieth of 1 cent per
seat for each Jitney operating over the
bridges; must grant transfers.
WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Carman's Wife Takes Carbolic Acid
but Will Recover.
Mrs. Helen Arnold, 21, wife of Wayne
G. Arnold, a carman, attempted suicide
yesterday at 2 o clock by drinking car
bolic acid in her rooms at the Penin
sula Apartments, 1135 Albina avenue.
She was taken to Good Samaritan Hos
pital by the Ambulance Service Com
pany, and attended by Dr. Fred J. Zieg
ler. who states that her condition is
not serious.
Mrs. Arnold, writhing in agony, was
discovered by her husband as he en
tered the room. Dr. L N. Palmer, of
1424 Is.illingsworth avenue, adminis
tered antidotes. The woman had at
tempted to drain a small phial of the
acid, but had spilled most of it. in
flicting severe burns about the mouth
and chin.
Domestic trouble Is believed to have
prompted the attempt.
Student "Movie" Actors Opposed.
The School Board Thursday night gave
its disapproval to the plan of making
"movie- actors out of high school stu
dents, a scheme that is being worked
by a local motion-picture concern. It
was declared to be commercializing
the school spirit and that the Directors
would, not countenance It.
BRIGHT FUTURE SEEN
H. M. Cake Predicts Wonderful
Prosperity for Portland.
RESOURCES ARE REVIEWED
Realty Board Hears Optimistic Ad
dress and Committee of Seven.
Xamed to Handle AVestover
Terraces, Recently Sold.
"No city of the entire United States
has greater ultimate prospects than the
city of Portland." declared H. M. Cake
as he set forth to explain his reasons
for complete faith in the future of
F'ortland in a stirring address before
the Portland Realty Board at the Hotel
Benson yesterday noon.
Mr. Cake enumerated the unlimited
natural resources of Oregon, dwelt upon
the fact that Oregon lias about one
fifth of the timber stnmpsge in the
country, pointed to the Panama Canal
and the deep harbor to the ea from
Portland as supreme assets, and cited
the shipbuilding Industry an an exam
ple of what can be accomplished In Ore
gon. He aiso extolled the water power
resources of Oregon, seldom appreciat
ed, and contended that this endowment,
coupled with the lumber industry. Is
sufficient to insure the future pre-eminence
of Portland.
"I care not for rallrond discrimina
tions." said Mr. Cake. od Almighty
made the great Columbia River, and the
commerce of the world is bound to come
that way, as Nature intended.
"Right now the banks are full of
money, and the farmers are so well off
that they, too, are loaning capital.
Why, do you know, in timber alone we
have a rwource of $400,000,000 reckon
ing It at $1 a 1000, and when sold as
finished products it will be worth many
times that. And this i only one of our
crops 'awaiting harvest.
"The Panama Canal has finally been
built to give us ready access to the
markets of the world. As soon as the
big conflict is over, our lumber will go
to every mart. Just a it would now be
going were it not for the war.
"In the last 24 months the shipbuild
ing industry has been born and reared
in this community, and It has already
brought $22,000,000 worth of business.
"After years of fighting we now have
40 feet of water at the mouth of the
Columbia River, and a 30-fnnt rhnni
to the sea. so that the greatest vessels
in the world may come to us."
Tt the commencement of vesterdav's
