beginning January 2, executives of
the league announced today.
It was decided not to boycott milk
directly as it is needed for babies, but
the restriction of Ice cream consump
tion wis figured on to make milk
more plentiful. and consequently
cheaper to the homes.
Thousands of dollars will be rolled
up against the taxpayers at the com
ing special session of the legislature,
for the signs point to a protracted
assembly. A few members are figur
ing on how they can stem the rising
tide of prospeotve bills, but the task
appears almost hopeless.
There is a certain percentage of
members who welcome the special
session for the opportunity it af
fords to jamb through some pet meas
ures, while others like "the game,"
and between these two elements there
Is a likelihood of a session of at least
two weeks' duration if not longer, un
less something Is done to hold the
solons down to essentials.
In the matter of essentials, there is
a wide latitude of opinion, for each
member with a bill to introduce has
plausible argument to show that its
passage is essential to the public wel
fare. Game Commission Rorr Fends.
Already there lpoms a wordy and
time-killing row over the state fish
and game commission and its affairs.
The opponents of the personnel of the
present commission are active lobby
ists and they are ready to put up a
fight to carry their point whatever
it may be. The W. L Finley Incident
may possibly be projected into the
legislative halls and someone may
want to create a job lor the state
biologist with the Oregon Agricul
tural college, the University of Ore
gon or the State Fair association. If
the opponents of the state fish and
game commission have their way, not
less than two days or more will be
required to deal with the topics they
raise.
The gasoline question, whether the
state should repeal the statute re
quiring a certain specific gravity, will
be good for a day of persiflage. While
the proposed $5,000,000 road bond bill
has an abundance of supporters, its
passage will require time, for there
are a few members who object to
bonds on principle and they will want
to revamp their arguments of the
regular session of 1919.
Irrigation Action to Be ITrged.
.Just before the legislature meets
there will be a session of the irriga
tion congress, when resolutions will
be adopted petitioning the legislature
to enact Irrigation legislation. This
will also require time for considera
tion at Salem. Then there will be the
game farm legislation, court of do
mestic relations matter arid sundry
and divers other subjects which will
be introduced, referred to committees,
debated in committees, debated on the
floor, passed on to the house or sen
ate, as the case may be, and the same
monotonous routine gone through
again. It all will consume time, and
all the time the legislature will be in
session the bill of expense will be
rolling up against the taxpayers.
The organizations of house and
senate in the regular session last
January and February were such that
there was no disposition to hurry
proceedings. Neither Speaker Jones
nor President Vinton is a "driver"
and unless the presiding officers have
a firm hold over the members there
will be a disposition to loll along and
cloture rules will be more honored in
the breach than the observance.
Session Promise) to He LonR.
On top of all these things is the
impelling desire of some members to
make medicine for their campaign in
the primaries. It will be a chance to
garner publicity and get their names
well established in the minds of their
constituents less than four months
before the votes are to be cast.
No one who has taken the trouble to
make a cursory survey of what is
afoot has failed to arrive at the con
clusion that the special session prom
ises to be long, expensive and filled
with politics.

party in the state and Multnomah

lower prices.
Mrs. N. E. Hildreth. of the civics
department of the club, who recently
announced a boycott had forced lower
egg prices, said the ban had not
proved a success because prices went
up when restrictions on purchases
were lifted. She said she felt the
women had been "tricked," but de
clined to say whom she believed re
sponsible. She added that Governor
Samuel R. McKelvle had promised

better inclination of man is given brief but full sway.
While we are giving and still enjoying; the great holiday spirit are you truly thank
ful for the favors that nature has bestowed upon you?
A sound set of teeth is one of the greatest blessings that nature can bestow and
should be guarded with jealous care.
It is my business to assist nature when teeth become decayed and restore them
to their original usefulness.
The slightest defect should be corrected at once. Procrastination is the thief of
teeth and health.
I will always give you prompt and expert service unexcelled here or elsewhere.
Where your teeth have become useless and a plate is necessary I will fit you per

scientifically constructed and fitted.
