THE -SUNDAY- OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. AUGUST 1. 1920 HARDING E ll CLUB FORMED HERE -W. W. Banks Chosen Presi-- dent of Campaign Unit. MACDONALD IS MANAGER Membership to Be Free of All Fees and Is Extended to Each Man and IVomau in County. At a meeting of representative re publicans yesterday at the Portland Press club, the Harding and Coolidge Campaign club of Multnomah county was formally organized. The following officers were elected: President W. W. Banks. Vice-presidents Mrs. Helen La mond, Conrad P. Olsen, John C. McCue, . Miss Marie Chambers, Charles B. Preston, Frank L. Waller. Secretary - treasurer George P. Piper. Club campaign manager Sanfield Maconald. Provision was made for an execu tive committee to be appoir.ted by the president, which will be announced in a few days. . Active Club Held Needed. There was a most decided opinion among those present that there was need of a large and active republican club where every person interested in the republican nominees, from presi dent to coroner, would be able to get together and work in a systematic and energetic manner, beginning im mediately and continuing until the last vote was cast in November. The feeling of the meeting also was to make the membership of the club free of all admittance charges and to extend to every republican man and woman in the county who desires to work for the success, of the entire republican ticket a cor dial and a general invitation to join. It was the sentiment of the meeting that especial attention and encour agement should be given to the younger men and women of the party, and especially to those who will cast their first votes this fall for Harding and Coolidge. Plans Under Way Some Time, Plans for the Hjfrding and Coolidge club have been under way for some time. Application blanks for memberships have been prepared and circulation was begun yesterday. The club's ob jective is 15,000 active members in Multnomah county, which would be the largest membership of any clu,b ever organized in any political party . in the state. V, It was announced that the club had no other object than to stimulate republican men and women to greater activity and to insure a sweeping re publican victory in November. The club will co-operate in every respect with the republican state and county committees and with other republican organizations. Registration to Be Vrsced. The club will pay especial attention to seeing that all -republicans are properly registered and will endeavor to create sufficient enthusiasm so "'.-that they will actually go to the polls and cast their ballots on election day. ,- While no attempt will be made at a -precinct organization, it is expected Jthat members will be obtained in the -various districts of the city and It county who will respond to the call of ; .'the party leaders when rallies and -meetings are held. 't Another meeting will be held at the ..call of the president in the immediate "future. i The club campaign manager was 'authorized to arrange for suitable headquarters, ilMPORTS OF 1920 TRIPLE TrRADK BALANCE WITH EUROPE 11'.

CITY'S STAND NEUTRAL Distributors' Representative Says Taxpayers' League's . Interest Purely Selfish. Investigation of the Portland milk situation, although under way for about three weeks, is but started, ac cording to Mayor Bauer yesterday-. The deeper the inquiry, according to the mayor, the more interesting the situation becomes. Before the inquiry is endeL Mayor Baker insists that reforms in both the rankis of the distributors and the producer must be worked out, such reforms to consist of reducing waste in costs of distributing, and reduction of cost of maintaining dairies, now operated under inef ficient management. In a letter addressed to Alma D. Katz, president of the Oregon Dairy men s Co-operation league, Mayor Baker gives assurance that the city is taking an impartial etand in tae pres ent controversy, seeking facts and ready to give all sides a fair and impartial hearing. Directed to Mr. Katx are numerous questions concerning the milk situa tion on which the mayor requests views from the league officials. Mr. Kats is asked tf he believes dlstribu. tors a necessary part of the milk in dustry of the state, and if not, why not. - Mr. Katz is requested to outline his views as to consequences which would result from the elimination of dealers. He is also asked to outline the objective and scope of an inquiry into all the essential facts involved in the present controversy between Port land milk distributors and the league, should the mayor deoide to appoint a commission. Bank Said to Be Interested. The entrance of representatives of the Oregon taxpayers' league into the milk fight resulted in the issuance of statements by C. M. Gregory, repre sentative of the milk distributors, charging that powerful financial in terests were rallying to the side of the league because of heavy invest ments made by such interests in the by-products corporation affiliated and operated by. the league officials. "It is easy to understand why of ficiala of the first National bank are interested in the present controversy. said Mr. Gregory yesterday, "for we have the statement of Mr. Katz, made before dairymen in Coquiile; that the First National bank had invested the by-products company operated by .the league and was ready to nveEt still additional money. "However, it is difficult to under stand the interest of the head of street railway company and the head of a large railroad in the fight. . But regardless of . the entrance of these men, who possibly believe they are doing the producers a good turn, the milk distributors are fighting because they will no longer submit to the dic tates of league officials and allow milk prices to consumers to soar.' Mayor Baker's Letter. Mayor Baker's letter,- which is an answer to a letter addressed to him recently by Mr. Katz of the Dairy- men's league is as follows: "Acknowledging your letter under date of July 28, 1920, I wish to assure you that there will be no prosecution of the Oregon Dairymen's Co-opera-tiveleague under any city ordinance untft the fullest investigation has been made and I am convinced that an ordinance has been violated. "My mind is entirely free from bias and I realize the importance of the milk industry and that all persons en gaged in it, whether dairymen, mem bers of the Oregon Dairymen's Co operative league or the distributors, have equal rights before the law and should be aided and upheld just so long as they conduct their affairs within the law. "You characterize the investigation by Deputy City Attorney Lionel C. Mackay as one-sided, claiming that the dairymen have not had a hearing, and that Mr. Mackay has not secured or considered Information as to the position of the Oregon Dairymen's Co-operative league. "I have gone through tlie volumi nous data gathered by Mr. Mackay In his investigation and It bears evi dence of painstaking care and con tains much Information emanating from the Oregon Dairymen's Co-operative league. I have not, however, finished the examination of Mr. Mackay"s records and have formed no opinion upon this subject, preferring to have your viewpoint upon certain RichatdW.Ckild tM4r.

"You comlain about the dealers, to i whom I have referred as the dis tributors, and also the condensers. and charge them with-the intent to ttestroy the co-operative marketing organization of dairymen. nease give me your views upon the follow ing points: "First Are the dealers a necessary part of the milk industry of the etate? If not, why not? 'Second What would the conse quences be if the dealers were elimi nated? "Third If a commission should be appointed to make a thorough and searching inquiry . into all the es sential facts involved In the con troversy between the Oregon Dairy men s Co-operative league ana tne Portland dealers what, in your opinion, would be the objective and the scope of this Inquiry, especially relative to the condensers and Port land dealers? "You further say that the dairy men who serve Portland are being maliciously imposed upon and my administration is being ued without my knowledge to serve the Intent of dealers and condensers to break up and destroy the co-operative marketing organization of dairymen. This administration will not be used to further the selfish interest of any. men or set of men and the simplest way to avoid this happening is to have a full disclosure of all the essential facts. "Your suggestion that I appoint a milk commission and .that this com mission consist of the dairy and food commissioner of Oregon and the head of the bureau of markets of Oregon Agricultural college and a represen tative of the public has been consid ered and my view is that, on such a commission, the general public should have more than one representative. "While I have' every confidence in the integrity and ability of the dairy and food commissioner of Oregon and the head of the bureau of markets of the Oregon Agricultural college, I think it would be preferable, in the event the commission is appointed, that these gentlemen appear before such 'commission as expert wtinesses, prepared to give the knowledge and information which they possess, rather than have them sit as mem bers of the commission."
