Marketing: Bureau Plans1 to G?t Ideas of 5,00 0,0 0 0 Producers on Disposition of Crops. CHICAGO, Nov. 4. Five million American farmers will be asked for their opinions on how to eliminate the middleman, it was announced to day by the committee of 17 of the farmers' marketing bureau, which, is in session here to devise a plan to obtain more money for the farmer for . his grain'crops. "We are going to use the views in considering a new marketing plan J. F. Oustafso'n '. -of Lincoln,- Neb., chairman of the committee, said. "We - Khali offer our- laeas to the many farmers' W;o-operatlve organisations and then ask that they send dele gates to the final convention about January 1, when Two will make our plans operative' Mr. Gustafson said the committee members were opposed to the farm ers striking for the purpose of in fluencing the grain market. They lelieve the farmer can best accom plish fair prices by direct marketing, lie said. L. F. Gates, president of the Chi cago board of trade, in an address, promised co-operation in the working out of any marketing system more economical than the prevailing one. Fine of $4 0 Sustained by Judge Tucker in Deciding Appeal From Municipal Court. The illuminated tooth marking the entrance to Alba Bros.' dental es tablishment, managed by Mrs. Martha Smith, and the heavy hand that has hovered ever the sidewalk in front of the headquarters of Dr. Paul C. Yates, on Sixth street, were outlawed Wed nesday when Circuit Judge Tucker delivered an opinion sustaining the city of Portland in its suits against these two defendants, "The cases were brought in an effort to maintain an ordinance passed here several years ago to prevent electric signs from being blanketed. . The judgment in each ease sustained a fine of $40, which had been appealed from the municipal court. About four years ago a committee was appointed by the council to investigate unsight ly and unsafe street signs. The in. vestigStion languished for more than a year, then suddenly took life again, resulting in passage of an ordinance that has become a model for other cities. Nearly everybody whose sign failed to comply with the law either put up a new one or removed the old one, but Dr. Yates, 125 V4 Sixth street, and Mrs. Smith, at Second and Morrison streets, declined. The hand and tooth have continued to blaze forth nightly while their owners fought the cases. Deputy City Attorney Lansing, who helped formulate the original ordinance. prosecuted both cases, w-hieh first went into the municipal and then Into the circuit court. It is understood that Dr. Yates is planning an appeal to tne supreme court. Paper Company to Close. E6CANABA, Mich, Nov. 4.

(Special..)- Washington new state legis lature Will- have the largest majority of republicans in the history of the state, according to returns from Tues day's election, practically complete in the more populous counties Indications are hat every one of the, 87 urate representative will be republicans. .; ' Indications are that all tut two, possibly all but one, of the 42 state senators will be republicans. Senator O'Harra, apparently the only democrat who will be- In the legislature, is a holdover.- He was elected, two years ago to serve four jeans. Incomplete returns in the 28th sen atorial district in Pierce cou.nty show K- J. Ryan, a negro, farmer-labor can didate, leading Clarence Salaer, re publican, 2351 votes to 2203. If Ryan is elected he may be the lone farmer-labor man In either of the two branches of the state legisla ture, which, combined, have 139 mem bers. ' Woman la Elected. For a while Mrs. Frances Haskell's place was threatened. Late this even ing It was announced she was elected. She is the only woman in the legisla ture. Return from Ferry and Franklin counties are not complete enough to make the flat prediction that all the republican- legislative candidates will be elected, as the farmer-labor candidates are showing considerable strength there. However, Ferry and Franklin counties are both only sparsely settled and each entitled to only one representative. So even if the farmer-labor candidates won in both these counties, which is not yet admitted, their party would not have more than three members of the legis lature. King county republican legislative candidates broke - all records when they swept the boards clean. Not an opponent w-aslected. Spokane coun ty did the same and similar reports are coming in from every one of the 39 counties in the state. In Spokane county Olaf L. Olson, republican, was elected y the legislature by the stick er metnoa over n. is. crosDy, -repuDiic-an, nominated at the primaries, but on whom, a party fight was waged over charges that he was affiliated with the non-partisan league, which was pointed out today as strongly emphasizing the desire of the voters to keep the farmer-labor element out of the legislature. King Hu Holdovers. King county did not vote on state senators this year, the delegation of eignt holding over, having been elect ed two years, ago to serve during two legislative sessions. In the first district. Grant. Doug las.' Ferty and Okanogan counties, H. D. McMlllen, In the house during the 1919 session, is in the lead and is believed elected. He would succeed W. A. Bollinger (rep.) who was not a candidate for re-election. W. Lon Johnson, second district, Stevens and Pernd d'Ore-ille counties, a republican, is a holdover. Three Spokane county senatorial districts have elected republicans, L. L. Westfall in the third district to succeed H. H. Phlpps; R. A. Hutchin son, fourth district, re-elected: W. J. Sutton, fifth district, to succeed E. Ben Johnson. Senator Groff and Ed T: Coman. unsuccessful candidate for the republican nomination for gov ernor, have another term to serve. Whitman county has elected C A. Couplin as senator In the ninth dis trict to succeed W. C. McCoy. Oliver Hall, eighth district senator, is a holdover.- Senator Harding's plurality In th state has passed the 115,000 mark and Is still going strong. Governor Hart (rep.) la also la- creasing his lead. All republicans In the five congres clonal districts of the state have been elected with big majorities. Repre sentative Miller wil' go back from the first district with a plurality of close to 25,000. . - Lindley H. Hadley, in the second district, is piling up a big majority over William Bouck. the farmer labor candidate. Representative Johnson in the third district will be winner by a large plurality. John W. Summers Is winning by "a good 'majority in the fourth district over Fred Miller, democrat, and Knute Gill, farmer-labor, and In the fifth district J. Stanley Webster is piling up even a larger majority than 'an ticipated over Mayor. Fleming of Spokane. The republican majorities Increase with the later returns, the bonus bill received approximately two thirds of the total vote; the Seattle jitney bill was badly beaten-, as was the Carlyon road bill and the salary increase measure, while the eminent domain amendment carried. President-elect Harding's lead over Cox In this state will reach -approximately 135.000 and his lead over Cox and Christensen combined will be about 75,000. While King county gave Christensen second place, trie rest of the state pulled Cox up, and he is nosing the farmer-labor can didate out for second honors. Governor Hart's lead over Robert Bridges, farmer-labor candidate, will approximate 85,000. and his lead over Bridges and Black, democrat, com bined will be easily 25,000. The only contest in King county that remained In doubt is the race between John S. Jurey and Everett Smith, for superior court j ud.fr o. With but nine county and 48 city precincts missing out of the total of 393, Smith has a slight lead over Jurey, the vote standing Smith 25.079. and! Jursey 24.- (128. Among the missing returns are those from Judge Jurey's home pre cinct. It probably will take the of ficial count to determine the re sult of the judgeship contest. The canvassing board expects to begin the official count in King county today. 2 CLAIIKH PRECLXCTS OCT George B, Simpson Wins Over J. O. Blair for Judge. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 4. (Spe cial.)
