STATE AGENCY FOR
FOODSTUFFS PLAN
Grant Kellogg Proposes Seriei
of Warehouses for Direct
, Distribution to Public.
HIGH COST IS ANALYZED
few Women at Meeting of House
wives League, in Which Much
of Alleged Excessive Prices
Are Laid- to Middlemen.
Before the Housewives' League at
Library Hall yesterday, Grant Kellogg
outlined the tentative plan of a state
agency, that shall purchase commodi
ties direct from the producer and sell
to the consumer at minimum cost, thus
defeating the nigh cost of living.
Mr. Kellogg went into the plan In
detail and declared ' it is feasible and
can be put into effect. The audience
was small yesterday, Indicating that
the housewives have despaired of get
ting practical relief from the activities
of the league or else a lack of Interest
In further pursuit of the subject.
Mr. -Kellogg opened the discussion
with the statement that 65 cents out
of every dollar epe'nt by the consumer
for fooi and provisions goes into the
pockets of the middleman. He said
this was disclosed by a study of the
subject by the New York food and mar
kets officials.
State-Wide Move Advocated.
Mr. Kellogg said he had made a long
study of co-operatlv marketing and
that lie believed It entirely practicable
to bring it about. The three causes
that have brought' failures chiefly In
the past he declared to be incompetence
In management, lack of harmony and
email size of the unit. The city, he declared,-
hetelieved to be too small to
form a unit that would be most suc
cessful in the operation of a co-operative
agency, and for - that reason he
proposed that the state be uraed'to es
tablish warehouses, cold storage plants,
stores and all necessary facilities for
buying direct from the farmer, the
factory, the mine and the mill and re
tailing to the people at cost.
"There have been many seasons of
agitation of this subject," said Mr. Kel
logg, "and the time Is now ripe for us
to do something. We are going to pro
pose that the state undertake the serv
ice now performed by the middleman
and sell products at cost, plus only the
cost of handling." -
The speaker cited ' many Instances
that he said pointed to the existence of
a food trust. He told of apples bought
from the grower for 50 cents a box. but
which were sold to the consumer for
no less than $4. He spoke of potatoes
that were sold for 30 cents a Back and
which brought $1.25 when disposed of
at retail. Instances were mentioned of
injustice to California fruit growers,
who were compelled to sell their prod
uct for little pr nothing.
Portland Unit First Is Plan.
Mr. Kellogg proposes that a co-operative
buying agency be started in Port
land as the first of the state-wide sys
tem and in advance of the general vote
upon the subject by the people. He be
lieves that when people see how well
it works they will be favorable to a
state agency, with branches at every
point where needed. He says all who
want to use the services of this first
agency to buy supplies at low cost may
do so by contributing ?10 to the cam
paign fund for the work of education
that will have to- be carried on
throughout Oregon preliminary to the
inauguration of the central agency by
the state.
He said the first agency would be
managed by an expert who understands
the business. He will be put under
bond, so there will be no chance of
loss, and a committee composed of the
following prominent women has been
named to hold the bond: Mrs. A. C.
Newill. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden and Mrs.
Epencer Vehr.

MUSIC ASD Fra-MAKING, BOTH
GOOD,. FEATIRH NEW BILL.
Pretty Girls, Excellent Singers and
Trick Animals Are Among Offer
ings That Please Audience.
Loud pedaling on the comedy, which
is the principal ingredient in -good vau
deville. Is the new bill which went on
at the Hippodrome yesterday. There's
plenty of musio, too and, altogether.
it's one of those rare combination bills
that win praise on all sides.
The top-line attraction is "A Night
In Dixie Land," In which seven of the
famous 20 blackbirds are set before
the King the King being the audience.
These are white blackbirds, however.
ana tne DiacK rubs orr.
The seven are all dance fiends, and
comedy predominates in their chatter
and song. The act is pretentiously
staged and Is a big. bright hit.
Another happy spot on the bill Is ihe
smart animal act presented by a Joyous
personage called Happy Harrison.
Happy has a comedy circus, featur
ing a cunning and shrewd little fox
terrier, who runs through a series of
clever tricka"quite as If he enjoyed It as
rnucn as nis auaience. xnere s a huge
ape also In the act, a ferocious-looking
creature, who evidences almost human
intelligence in his capers. As for the
riot hit In Happy's act. It's a trick
mule. Dynamite, who Is of the abso
lutely unridable and unconquerable va
riety. The efforts of various volun
teers to ride him occasion gales of
hilarity.
An artistio touch is given tHe bill
by the muslclanly quality In the work
of Madeline Stack, violinist. Miss
Stack plays with temperament ana un
derstanding of her art. and the audi
ence senses the fact Immediately that
her playing is from the heart, and not
merely a display of bowing and violin
pyrotechnics.
Basil and North bffer a pert and
pertinent little skit entiled "Recruit
ing."
A trio of beauties, who dazzle with
their pulchritude quite as they amaze
with tnelr dexterity as glob equilib
rists. are the Latona Sisters.
Ingalls and Duffield are a clever pair,
who have a corner in the laugh-getting
with their bright patter. They sing.
too. ana orrer new dance steps.
The picture Is another, and one of the
few remaining, of the "Shielding
Shadow" ' aerjes. . Besides all these
there Is a comedy picture and a travel
with the Paths News.

The Oregonlan has received a num
ber of cash contributions from person
whose addresses were not obtained, for
the assistance of a reported needy fam
ily of a member of Battery A. Sine
the item was published telling of th
needy family it has become apparen
that the communication was sent to the

GRANGE WILL PROBE
AT PUBLIC MARKET
Session Goes on Record Condemning
Shipbuilders' Strike and Further
Urges Speedy Trial in Alleged
Cement Combine Cases.
An investigation bearing closely on
an Important phase of the cost of liv
ing question will be conducted within
Short time by a special committee
representing the Multnomah district.
Pomona Grange. Members of the
Orange, meeting at Pleasant Home
Wednesday, In adopting a set of reso
lutions on subjects of interest to farm
ers In Multnomah County, were con
fronted with the statement that many
farmers are asking prices In the pub
lic market above those of retail sales
men, and to the detriment of the mar
ket. -
The resolution adopted by the Grange
authorizes the appointment of a com
mittee which will make an examination
f market conditions. The duty of the
ommlttee shall be to report its flnd-
ngs to City Commissioner Blgelow
and Market Master East men. It was
lso decided, in view of the beneficial
esults which the committee is el
ected to bring about, that the com
mittee should be permanent. The mem-
ers whom J. J. Johnson, master of the
Grange, will appoint this week, ara to
old orrice for two years. It Is said
that. In case the results are found satis
factory, the committee will be retained I
as an adjunct of the Grange.
Identity of Investigators Secret.
The membership of the committee Is
not to be Immediately announced, ac
cording to a statement made . by Mr.
Johnson yesterday. It is thought that
the best results, would be obtained by
rivate investigation, and for this rea
son the Identity of the Investigators Is
ot to be known.
Other resolutions adopted bv the
Grange expressed sympathy with the
heads .of the shipbuilding industry In
Portland, who are now being confront-
d with a strike. The attitude of the
Grange is expressed in part of the reso
lution, which reads:
"Be it Resolved, That we should feel
deep regret that any movement for
strike should be encouraged at this
time when a new Industry of so much
value to a state is beginning In its
truggle for existence, especially in
view of the fact that these Industries
have been payirfg, good wages and
have made voluntary Increase of
wages paid."
The attitude of Grange members on
the indictments of the alleged cement
omblne is also expressed in a resolu
tion adopted by the meeting. In con
sidering a rumor that the cases against
these men would never comer to trial,
the Grange advocated a continuation of
the investigations, with the object of
bringing the cases to a speedy and
thorough trial. A copy of the resolu
tion to this effect is to be forwarded
to the President and to the Attorney-
General of the United States. '
, Right to Use Forests Maintained.
The question of allowing stock to
graze In the Cascade National Forest
Is brought to an Issue In a resolution
protesting the recent abolition of graz
ers from this tract. The reason for
this attitude Is explained in the statement:
Whereas, We feel that every move
to decrease the production of meat is
a blow to the people of this country In
general, and a loss of this range will
be Injurious In a marked degree to the
citizens .of this Northwest, therefore be
It resolved that Pomona Grange, of
Multnomah County, Oregon, at Its regu
lar session, after serious consideration,
hereby registers Its protest against any
move which will change the character
of the Cascade Forest Reserve in Ore
gon as It is constituted at the pres
ent time, whether such a change would
be to a National park or to some other
form, as any such change would be
merely for the purpose of pleasure and
would mean the complete abolition of
the Important grazing Industry with
hardship resulting to all the resi
dents of this Northwest, through the
loss of its source of the production of
an important Item In the food supply.'
Another resolution adopted by the
Grange favors the abolition of the law
requiring the publication of delinquent
tax lists In the newspapers. In place
of this system of notification, it Is ad
vocated tax delinquencies be called to
the taxpayers through the malls. .The
legislative committee of the Oregon
State Grange is asked to resume con
sideratlon of the matter, and take steps
toward legislative enactment.
New Officers Elected.
A new set of officers was elected at
the session of the Grange, J. J. John
son being re-elected master. Others
placed in office are as follows: Over
seer, John Welbes; steward, Jacob Nel
son; treasurer, K. Lj. Thorp; chaplain,
Mrs. Jennie Miller; lecturer, Mrs. Mary
Palmer; assistant steward. Sayler
Smith; lady assistant steward, Mrs.
Duke; Ceres, Miss Julia Mickleson; Po
mona, Mi's. J. Frost; Flora, Miss Smith.
A number of Important transactions
were disposed of in the miscellaneous
business of the meeting. Condolences
occasioned by the death of L. H. Walls,
recently East Side correspondent of
The Oregonlan, were read before the
organization. All members having per
sonal acquaintance with Mr. Wells re
garded his death as a considerable loss.

BUDGET MEETING SET
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO MEET
TAXPAYERS TOMORROW.
Executive -Sessloa Will Follow and
Tax Levr Will Then Be Fixed.
4.9 MlUs Seems Likely.
Adoption of the 1917 budget of gen
eral county and road expenditures
will follow a taypayer's meeting to
morrow morning at the Courthouse.
Arguments for and against Items on the
tentative budget will be given by tax
payers, at the conclusion ' of which
County Commissioners Llghtner, Hoi
man and Holbrook will go Into execu
tive session and emerge with an an
nouncement of the budget decided upon
and the tax levy.
Indications point to a tax levy of
4.9 mills for general county and road
purposes, instead of 4.4 mills, recom
mended by the advisory budget com
mittee. This is because of an extra
2100,000 said to be necessary to pre
vent a repetition of a warrant basis
for the county after the early part of
1917.
A levy of 4.9 mills would Include
$100,000 for the erection of the first
unit of a new county hospital and
would still be about $65,000 under the
limit imposed by the new tax limitation
amendment.
As the road department bas been
heavily curtailed In the recommenda
tions of the advisory committee, heavy
taxpayers have visited the Commission
ers and urged that the limit levy be
made this year, so not to embarrass
road building operations under Koad-
; master Yeon.
