JAPANESE FHVDS NO EXSIITY l'ortland Investigator Sees Few Friends of Allen Land Bill. HOOD RIVER, Or, Jan. 24. (Spe cial.) R. Fukuda. of Portland, secre tary of the Japanese Association of Oregon, was here today to ascertain sentiment of business men and ranch ers on the proposed anti-alien land bill, introduced in the Oregon Legisla ture by Senator George R. Wilbur. Following his canvass of the city, the visitor declared that he was at a loss to know the reasons for the bill. ' ""I find, apparently." says Mr. Fukuda. "that the Japanese of Hood River and the white population are on the best of terms. Japanese ranchers and business men seem to be respected. The actual Japanese population, instead of increasing, has materially decreased in the piist few years. It is noticeable that Japanese land owners are selling their holdings instead of purchasing additional land." tax fund a part of general fund aad de claring an emergency. H.

PRICE FIXING TO BE ISSCE One Bill Allows Manufacturer to- Name Price, Another Does Not. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Jan. 2. (Special.) Whether the manufactur er of a patented article has the right to fix the retail price of his product is a question that the Legislature must decide at this session. Two bills bearing on this subject now are before the House. One. by Repre-1 sentative Ashley, is said to conform I with the Stevens bill now pending in Congress in that it empowers the man- I ufacturer to establish and maintain the I retail price of his goods. Another bill. Introduced today By Kepresentaive Bar ber, would prohibit such price-fixing. The Legislature, obviously, can take its I choice.

Public Is Said to Be at Mercy of Companies. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 24. (Special.) Fire insurance men from all parts of the state have been Invited to the Capitol next Tuesday when the joint House and Senate committees on insurance will consider the fire insur ance section of the proposed new code. Meanwhile Chairmen Orton and Mackey will make a thorough investigation of the fire insurance question to determine why, if there is any opposition to state regulation of rates. Senator Orton said today that he learned that insurance companies last year Increased their rates, and he wanted to find out if tnese so-called in dependent companies increased their rates at the same time. He has re liable information that an increase was made. He also wants to know the financial soundness of these companies. I by the Governor. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 24. -(Special.) A commission form of government for the operation of the state's numerous activities is proposed in a communication and the outline of a bill presented to the House com mittee on consolidations today by Rep resentative Bean. The measure in brief proposes to divide the state government into 11 departments, as follows: Board of control, treasury, labor, publlo service, industrial accident com mission, land board, animal industry, agriculture, education, engineering and health. The board of control would be re tained as at present but with enlarged responsibilities and added vlsitorlal powers to all the state institutions. It would continue to have direct jurisdic tion over the state hospitals, the In stitution for the Feeble Minded, State Training School, Penitentiary, schools for the blind and the deaf, the Tuber culosis Hospital, the Soldiers' Home, the Capitol and Supreme Court building. Treasurer Would Watch Insurance. The treasury department would em brace the present Treasurer's office, the banking corporation and insurance de partment. The Intent is to place all financial institutions under one head, with the State Treasurer in direct charge. Expert deputies would admin ister the several technical activities, as at present. The public service department would take over the present Tax Commission and the Department of Weights and Measures. It is pointed out in Bean's outline that there is much duplication of effort between the tax and the publlo service departments, now. The Public Service Commissioner would be elected, as at present. The department of labor would In clude the present activities of the Com missioner of Labor and take over the work of the Industrial Welfare Com mission and Jie Board of Inspection of Child Labor. The head of the depart ment would be elected. Land Boards Would Merge. The Industrial Accident Commission would not be changed. Its three mem bers would continue to be appointed Proposed Appropriations for Blind Are Cot SS067 and Continuing; Funds Seem Doomed. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 24. (Saeclai.)

The committee tonight also decided to send in bills repealing the acts pro viding continuing appropriations of $7500 a year for the state library and $10,000 a year for the care of wayward girls. If these laws are repealed all continuing appropriations except for mlllage taxes will be wiped from the statute books.

Legislature's Memorial to Congress on Water Power Approved Repeal of Gasoline Test Law Asked. Honest Advertisers Need Not Fear, the bill submitted by the Portland Ad Club to the Legislature for enactment prohibit ing false advertising. This bill is essentially the same as the famous Printers' Ink model statute prepared by H. D. Nims, of the New York bar and already enacted as a law in thirteen states; as follows: Colorado, Idaho. Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Washington and West Virginia. Here is the bill : AN ACT Prohibiting untrue, deceptive and misleading assertions, representations or statements of fact in advertisements within the state of Oregon and providing a penalty for the violation thereof, and to repeal Section 2230 of Lord's Oregon Laws and all acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith. Be it enacted by the people of the state of Oregon: Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or association, with in tent to sell or dispose of merchandise, securities, service, or anything offered by such person, firm, corporation or association, directly or indirectly, to the public for sale or distribution, or with intent to increase consumption thereof, or to induce the public in any manner to enter into any obligation relating thereto, or to acquire title thereto, or an interest therein, to make, publish, disseminate, circulate, or place before the public, or cause, directly or indi rectly, to be made, published, disseminated, circulated or placed before the public within the state of Oregon, in a newspaper or other publication, or in the form of a book, notice, hand bill, sign, poster, bill, circular, pamphlet, tag, label or letter, or in any other way or manner whatsoever, an advertisement of any sort regarding merchandise, securities, service, or any thing so offered to the public, which advertisement contains any assertion, representation or statement of fact which is untrue, deceptive or misleading. Section 2. Any person, firm, corporation or association violating any of the provisions hereof shall upon conviction thereof be punished by a fine of not more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) or by imprisonment in the County Jail not exceeding Thirty (30) days. Section 3. That Section 2230 or Lord's Oregon Laws and all acts and parts of acts in conflict with any of the provisions hereof be and the same are hereby repealed. Certain parties, who have as yet seen fit to conceal their identity, have caused to be introduced into the Legislature a rival bill, called the California bill, prohibiting fraudulent advertising, which they say is "opposed to the one offered by the Ad Club." The essential difference between the California bill and the Ad Club bill is this: The California law renders it necessary to prove an express guilty intent to' defraud the public on the part of the advertisers before a conviction is possible, i. e., it must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the' advertiser, at the time the ad was written, knew in his own mind, or should have known, the ad to be false. On the other hand, the Ad Club measure does not require express proof of a guilty knowledge on the part of the advertiser. The Ad Club believes that the advertiser knows better than anyone else whether his advertisement is true and that the public interests 'require that every merchant be held accountable for misleading statements printed over his signature. If advertisers once understood this to be the measure of their re sponsibility the practice now prevalent in many stores of turning the preparation of "copy" over to an ad writer' with never a thought or a care as to the contents of the ad so long as it brought the busi ness would cease and the multitudes of frauds perpetrated annually and originating in the advertising columns of our newspapers would be nipped in the bud. Let the stable door be locked before the horse is stolen. The Ad Club does not believe in criminal prosecutions except to protect the public against the ad vertiser who, as a regular proposition, attempts to sell his wares through misrepresentation. Honest merchants have nothing to fear through law enforcement, but the public should be protected from the merchant who is even indirectly dishonest. To better illustrate the difference between the two bills: In a recent prosecution against a local ad vertiser for fraudulent advertising the merchant defended by saying that the ad in question was written by a man hired for that purpose and that he, the merchant, had had no actual knowledge of the contents of the ad, therefore he claimed not to be responsible for statements made in the advertisement. Now, if the California bill were the law in Oregon, this particular advertiser could get away with that kind of a defense, while if the Ad Club measure were enacted he would be responsible for every statement published in the ad. We leave it to a fair-minded public to say which law Is the better and cordially invite public dis cussion of the subject. Yours for more truth in advertising, THE PORTLAND AD CLUB. S. a BRATTON, President. Chairman Mackey stated that over- insurance might have - had something to do with increased rates, and as Fire Marshal Stevens will be at the hearing. Information will be furnished upon this question. Commissioner Wells stated that the whole fight centered on state super vision. The city of Portland recently complained to him about increased rates. Attorney-General Brown advised him that he has no authority to make an Inquiry, but for the public good in surance companies and rating bureaus should furnish this information. In other words, today there is no one to whom to appeal, and the public is at the mercy of the insurance companies, said Mr. Wells.

(Spe cial.) Between 35 and 60 property owners from Eagle Creek, Springwater and other communities in the territory from which it is proposed to create Cascade County will go with the Oregon -'iiy delegation on the anti-division special tomorrow, O. D. Eby, president of the Commercial Club and leader of the fight on the two plans to spilt Clackamas, announced tonight. Local opponents of the plan to create Cascade County say that strong oppo sition has developed within a few miles of Estacada. v The anti-dlvlslon special train, leaving- Oregon City at 2 o'clock, will take the party to Salem to attend an open meeting of the House committee on counties, of which- H. C. Stephens, Representative from this county and father of the Cascade County bill, is chairman. A number of women will make the trip tomorrow, and Mr. Eby expects between 75 and 100 persons on the special. The Legislature several years ago prescribed a method whereby the peo ple of a county could vote on the creation of a new county, and the anti divisionists take the stand that rather than appealing to the Legislature the Estacada people should use the method which is always open to them. Many from Estacada will go to Salem by automobile tomorrow to attend the committee meeting. Thirty machines. it is said, will make the trip, carry ing between 150 and 200 persons.

Memorial for Amendment to Prevent All Liquor Manufacture Passes Easily Nonpartisan Land Board Is Proposed. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 24. (Special.) The first Democratic administration measure was tested out today in the Legislature and defeated. It was House bill No. 4, recommended by Governor Alexander in his message to give him power to remove Sheriffs and Prose cuting Attorneys who fall to enforce the prohibition laws. The Republican minority lined up to a man against it, not because they are opposed to pro hibition, but on the grounds it gave too much authority to one man. The Democratic majority wavered and broke on the roilcall. three of them voting against it with the Republi cans. The measure lost by 32 to 31. Albrethsen of Blaine, Hussman of Idaho and Welsh of Canyon were the three Democrats who refused to stand with the majority. Cannyon of Elmore, and Lehrbas of Bannock, both Democrats, were absent. A hard fight preceded the roilcall. The defeat of the administration bill was the feature of the House proceed ings. . In the Senate the Republican minority launched two measures, both dealing with the State Land Board. The first seeks to amend the state consti tution to provide for a non-partisan State Land Board of three members and the second appropriates $50,000 to Investigate, audit and provide a sys tem of accounting for the Land Board.

Sir Felix Schus ter, speaking today at the annual meet ing of the Union of London and Smith Bank, Ltd., of which he is governor, discussed the British financial con dition. Regarding operations In the United States, Sir Felix said: "In addition to loans it has been estimated that 350.000,000 of American securities have been sold, but it is im possible to speak with certainty of the figures, which, however, are very learge. "It must be remembered we are financing not only our own, but allies', requirements and that the whole bur den falls on our exchange. "The country's foreign trade has maintained itself remarkably well, but the adverse balance of trade is stag gering and constitutes one of tne most serious and most urgent questions which may entail considerable sacri fices on the part of the community." After the war all efforts must be di rected to developing our industries to enable them to compete successfully in all markets of the world. "Our economic position will be as sisted by loans which we are now mak ing to the allies and these, in a great measure, take the place of the foreign securities sold and should in a short time enable us to redeem the foreign indebtedness incurred.
