WITHDRAWAL IS UPHELD
Attorney-CJeneral Says Carter Has
Hljrht to Quit ISace.
SALEM. Or.. March 30. (Special.)
The legality of the withdrawal of Wil
liam A. Carter from the race for Dis
trict Attorney of Multnomah County
was upl eld by Attorney-jeneral Craw
ford today, the opinio In this case
being practically the same as that fur
nished when a candidate for State Sen
ator recently expressed his intention
of withdrawing from the race.
The Attorney"-General says that no
official act has been passuJ which
would preculde the Secretary of State
from allowing Carter to withdraw, and
that In his declaration a candidate only
promises to enter the race and not to
withdraw alter he is nominated.
The completed petition of J. N. Davis
had never been received at the office
of the Secretary of State and conse
quently his official withdrawal was
unnecessary to keep his name from the
nominating ballot,

Wheat Is Dull but Held Steady
by Slren-rtli of Coarse
Grnins:
CHICAGO. March 30. Forage grain
today soared above the previous record
breaking prices this week. Bull leaders
pressed tho buying and compelled the
covering of important short lines. Un
common activity and nervous tension
developed in corn and oats alike. Pros
pect of colder, unsettled weather over
Sunday encuuraged ew buyers and the
end freed pit traders to capitulate. At
no time did the price react below the
Quotations current last night.
Vim on the bull side of the oats
crowd appeared scarcely second to the
enthusiasm in the corn pit. The colder
weather predicted impried further seed
ing delays and was the chief influence,
but close attention also was paid to
signs of an increased cash demand
from the South.
It was a narrow and dull market for
wheat, with a heavy undertone. The
general news directly affecting the
cereal was mostly depressing, but the
effect was largely offset by the
strength of other grain.
Provisions climbed mainly because of
the corn bulge. Pork led with an in
creased cost of 10 cents to 17 cents.
Th leading- futures ranged as follows.

brought about through the reported shrink
age of $10,304,000 In cash, which total was
much larger than preliminary estimates
forecasted, the known operations of the
week having revealed a loss on Interior
movement and with, the sub-treasury of
about J3.ooo.000. The discrepancy Is
traceable probably to April 1 settlement ad
justment. , .
The loans of the banks, taking the actual
condition report as a basis, expanded $13.
329.000. while deposits Increased $7,4i.0UU.
Thus the cash loss not only came out of
excess surolus, but the expansion In de
posits called for additional requirements
and this accounted for the decrease of $11,

Taking the . statement of averages as a

SYSTEM GALLED ABSURD
ADAMSOS SAYS CARRIERS EX
PECT DIVIDENDS ON DEBTS.
Full Publicity Demanded, as Aid to
Commerce Commission In Fixing
Just Rate Basis.
WASHINGTON, March 30. "The
anomaly has grown up. gradually end
unconsciously, that public carriers are
to be allowed to charge an income on
what they owe, as well as on what they
own, and nobody else in the world with
whom we are acquainted is allowed
that privilege," said Representative
Adumson, of Georgia, chairman of the
House commerce committee, today in
submitting his report recommending
the enactment of a bill empowering the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
make a physical valuation of railroads.
Mr. Adamson points out what he
characterizes as the absurdity of the
system of fixing railroad rates on a
basis which contemplates not only in
vested capital, but bonded liability. He
says an income was allowed on a rail
road's claim to Its Investment, actual
and watered, and allowances made like
wise on such fixed charges as the bur-
don of doing business and Interest on
bonds, whether the securities are sold
at par or not. Continuing, the report
says:
"Full information, run publicity as
to the true conditions of the Issuance
of stocks and bonds, the cost to the
holder, the price realized by the car
rier, the disposition, of the money, the
facts as to the manipulations, will shed
light on the question of correcting rates
by the Commission and their revision
by the courts, and the information of
all these things will help the people to
a correct understanding thereof."
