A resolution insisting- that if the railroads organize n car service committee after passing from government control. Pacific coast shippers be represented In its personnel, was adopted at the annual meeting here today of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. The .meeting adopted a resolution. Introduced by J. R. Bloedel, asserting that if the railroads-organize a car service section or a car-distributing committee of their own after passing from government control to pri vate ownership, the lumbermen will Insist that the shipping interests of the Pacific coast be represented, and that shippers be asked to decline to Join such a committee unless such TepreoPntation is conceded. Mr. Bloedel had just returned from a. trip to Washington, Chicago and other eastern cities and reported that jvrospects for early imprbvement. in the car supply in this part of the country are far from bright. He pointed out, moreover, that the rail roads of the country are short of cars and that the northwest cannot ex pect more than 60 per cent of its needs until this shortage is remedied. Eastern Officials Blamed. But, he insisted, the northwest is not now getting its Just proportion of the cars that are available. This is due, be declared, to failure of east ern officials of the railroad adminis tration to understand the situation In this part of the country. Another angle of the ci contro versy was presented by L. C Gilman, district director of the railroad admin istration, who explained that the causes of tho present car famine are more funda ental than mere inade quate distribution. The railroad bus! ness of the country has outgrown tha railroad facilities, he pointed out. While the c rriers have been able to build only 3000 miles of new track in the last four years and add only 10,000 new freight cars and 1000 new locomotives, the freight that they have been called upon to handle has increased In volume more than SO per cent. "And the railroads cannot give ade quate service," he added, "until they are able to expand their facilities. And the only way to get expansion is to spend money. The only way to get money to spend is to re-establish and rehabilitate railroad credit. Any leg islation that congress may enact will not meet the situation unless the peo pie who invest their money in railroad stocks and railroad bonds have con fidence that they will get a fair re turn on their investments. Traffic Not Balanced. So long as railroad equipment re mains snort of requirements. Mr. Gil man continued, the Pacific northwest must suffer a shortage of cars, for there is not sufficient westbound traf fic to balance the heavy movement of traffic from this part of the country east bound. Norman F. Coleman, newly elected president of the Loyal Legion of Lumbermen and Loggers, spoke at both the morning and afternoon ses sions. He briefly reviewed the in dustrial situation in the country and outlined tne plans for the loyal legion to preserve industrial peace In the lumber industry of the northwest "Failure to take our men into ac count will result in as great a finan cial loss to our plants as if the ma chinery had been damaged," Mr. Cole man said. He charged there had been deliberate cutting of production on the part of the men since the war, that men were harder to handle than ever; that actual shif tlessness pre vailed in many instances. "We can only meet the situation honestly," he said. "If we make peace we will win, and create work ing fellowship between worker and employer. Mr. Shaw's annual report reflected the progress that the association has made in the last year. On January lit, ne said, the association member Fhip numbered 210 mills, representing an annual capacity of 5,503.680,000 feet, which Is 91 per cent of the pro duction of the west coast territory as reported by the United States forest service. Mr. Shaw recommended that the Joggers and timber owners should be invited to become affiliated in som way with the association in develop ing the lumber Industry of the north west. It. H. Vinnedge of North Bend, Wash., was elected ; resident of the sissociation at today's meeting. F. B.

SMITH STIMMEL TO SPEAK IX ALL city high schools. STATE UD, LABOR LEAGUE Former Mounted Sergeant Tells of Incidents on Trips While Guarding President.

D., who was a member of President Lincoln's mounted bodyguard during the civil war. The visitor will apeak in all of the high schools of the city during the coming week. Mr. Stimmel is an excellent etory teller and he has a different and more intimate angle of the life) of the mar tyred president to speak of. He told of his experiences while accompany ing Lincoln on various official trips through Washington, of standing guard at the entrance to the White House and of being stationed in front of the presidential platform when the famous second inaugural address was delivered.

We hereby declare for the eco nomic and industrial equality of women,, together with special protec tion for the mothers of our future citizens.'' - Tax Argument Breaks. The most heated argument of the convention Centered about the recom mendation of the platform committee relative to the adoption, of a plank providing for the removal of all un just taxes on productive industry and the substitution therefor of an in creasing' tax on community-made values. M. M. Burtner of Wasco county de clared that the grangers of the state were strenuously opposed to any law that bordered upon single tax. and that in his opinion the proposed plank in the platform of the league was the opening wedge in that direction. Should a man attempt to take your bread and butter, you would call him a scab" said Mr. Burtner, "but to me this word is distasteful and I will re frain from its use. However, the grange looks upon the single tax movement as a deliberate attempt to rob them of their revenue lit that it has for its purpose the cultivation of all unused lands. " "The greatest difficulty the grang ers have to face today is the selling of their products at reasonable prices. We have no guarantee and the haz ards attendant to our vocation are great. If you put the single tax idea into practice, you are going contrary to the- great basic principles of our government and that will mean the defeat of your entire programme. If you wish to assist the farmers in their- struggle for industrial freedom, you should direct your energies to per fection of the distribution system, and against-the man who would burn our products that he might gain a greater profit from the consumer. Single Tax Championed. "If that .part of the platform pro viding for an increasing tax on com munity-made values is to be incor porated into the principles for which this league stands, I want to serve notice on you now that I will be un able to return to my organization and ask for its c-ooperation in. making this movement a political success. - Louia Bowerman of Portland de clared that he was and always had been in favor of the single tax, and thought is a duty of the convention to adopt the plank as submitted for con sideration. XTnder the present sys tem of taxation the Industries of this country are burdened with taxation. said Mr. Bowerman, "with the result that this enormous contribution eventually la paid by the consumer. Let us remove this tax from the pro ductive industries, eliminate the shackles which bind the consumers and" place the burden on the lands. where it belongs. A fear to express our principles seems to dominate this convention and unless we speak out our convictions we might as well sur render all hope of success and go home." . , R. M. Rynerson, editor of the Ore gon Labor Press, took exception to Mr. Bowerman's remarks and de clared that he always had expressed his views on important subjects re gardless of the consequences. Fred Weckerly oi Portland saia me position of the farmers and -workers was synonymous and that the league should direct its energies toward Im proving marketing conditions before increasing -the tax on lands. C C. Bossinger of Portland urged the convention to forget the single tax and if possible unite the farmers and labor of the state in one great movement for the common good of all. With only three dissenting votes. the convention then accepted the amendment whereby that part of the plank providing for an increasing tax on community-made values was eliminated and substituted by the words "a more equitablo method of taxation." This amendment, . Mr. Burtner said, probably would be very acceptable to the grange. Free Speech Is Issne. Another spirited debate ensued re garding the adoption of that part of the tentative platform to the effect that all "abridgments of free speech, free assemblage and free press were deliberate and defiant violations of the constitutions of the state ajid the United States." J. C. Strudgen of Portland said he believed it would be to the Interest of the league to eliminate the words deliberate and defiant." . "I have long been identified with the radical movement in Portland." said Mr. Strudgen, "and after witness ing the trials to which it has been subjected, I am satisfied that any clouded reference to this issue will injure our cause." He then told of how his organization recently visited Mayor Baker in quest of the audi torium. and of how the official had refused even to consider the request. Mr. Coulter then Interposed: "Oily George might refuse use of the audi torium. but that should have no weierht In retarding our progress. Mr. Reyners and a number of other delegates concurred in the suggestion offered by Mr. Strudgen, with tne re suit that the convention voted to elim inate the three alleged objectionable words .from the league platform. Officers Provided For. The Btate officers of the league shall consist of chairman, vice-chair man. secretary, treasurer and a board of directors, the latter to be composed of the chairman of each county unit and each county shall have one mem ber on the board.

Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) Appeal to the United States supreme court was perfected here today in the case of the state against E. J. Frasier, a Eugene real estate operator, under sentence to serve from 2 to 20 years in the Oregon penitentiary following conviction on a charge of uttering a forged receipt in connection with a hearing in bankruptcy In Lane county. At the time of Mr. Frazier arrest more than two years ago It was al leged by the state that in attempting to make it appear that he had paid Dr. P. W. Harris of Eugene a bill in the sum of approximately $143, the defendant Introduced in the bank ruptcy court a canceled) check pur porting to bear the indorsement of the physieian. The case was afterward transferred to Benton county, where Frasier wat convicted of forging Dr. Harris' name to the check and later sentenced to the penitentiary. Mr. Frasier then appealed the case to the Oregon su preme court, where the verdict of the lower court was affirmed. In perfecting an appeal to the United States supreme court attorneys for Mr. Frasier allege that evidence introduced in a federal court of bank ruptcy cannot be used against a de fendant in the criminal courts of the state, and. consequently the tribunal in which the accused man was tried in Benton county was without Juris diction. If he committed any offense, his attorneys allege he was subject to the jurisdiction of the federal courts. Attorneys for Mr. Frasier Include W.- P. . Lord of Portland and J. K. Weatherford of Albany. The state will be represented by Attorney-General Brown, L. L. Ray of Eugene and Arthur Clark of Corvallis. Shortly after Mr. Frasier was In dieted for the offense he disappeared from his home in Eugene and his clothes were afterward found on the beach near Seaside. It was first thought he had committed suicide, but later developments showed that he had played a ruse and 'had gone to California and Mexico. His arrest followed. - " 1 I. 20-Extra S. & H.Trading Stamps-20 With Your First $1.00 Cash Purchase And DOUBLE STAMPS With Remainder of Purchase.
