son, of the light .and .power depart
ment, ruled that It was the right o
the city to cut the high cost of liv
ing by providing ranges at a small
charge over the wholesale price.
The city of Tacoraa buys electric
ranges cheaper than any concern on
the Pacific coast, because of the
volume of its business. " Ranges are
sold here from )40 to ISO. below any
other city on .the, coast. The de
raand is strong because current fo

The city is now 140 ranges behind in

A pcuular mi.;conee'jtion thr.t I
think was pretty thoroughly explod
es yesterday ras that in regard to
the relations bstween the ditrihutors
of milk in a 3lty and the public. The
pecpie should realize t.iat it is not
the distributors who regulate prices.
This is especially true in Portland.
where competition from farmers in
the district right around Portland
who are bringing their milk risrht in
here and selling it from their owr.
vi gons. is wide open.
The public should realize that the
fiht that the distributors are making
sgainst domination of the citv's milk

promoters or high -salaried league ioL
holders, is the publics fight, because

to eccept any demend made by the
league and simply pass those demands

It must have been very anDarent to
tne representatives of the oubfic. from
tne talK of the league promoters and
otiiclals at yesterday's meeting, that
they nave a complete and utterlv
cynical disregard for the rights of
the public for every single thing
that they said showed that their sole
desire was to raise prices just as high
as possible.
Jab at League.
"Not one single thing was said
indicating that the league had the
slightest thought of ever letting the
public have the benefit of cheaper
prices, or indicating that the league
had any thought of increasing the
dairymen's efficiency or reducing cost
of production, or giving the people
the benefit of the varying cost of
production due to your favorable
climatic changes.
"I would like to comment on the
most amazing action of the league
officials yesterday, the significance
of which I .do not think the people of
Portland will fail to grasp. The
hearing before the Taxpayers' league
committee was, at the requ-st of the
so-called Oregon Dairymen's league,
ostensibly so that a representative,
disinterested body liko the taxpayers'
committee, could learn the truth.
Truth Bottled Up.
"And yet at that very meeting vari
ous speakers, including myself, who
were opposed to the exploitation
scheme of the promoters of the Ore
gon Dairymen s league, were actually
served with a restraining order in an
attempt to close their lips and prevent
the truth from being told.

fectually prevent my saying anything
as to the relations between the league
and the dairymen but I would like
to make this comment it is a sad or
ganization that is so fearful of the

Aged Man Hurt in Fall. .

hospital yesterday afternoon, suffer
ing from a bad laceration on the
back of the head, as-a result of a
