This being the last day on which an appeal can be filed in opposition to the ballot title prepared by Attorney General Brown covering the initiated bill fixing the term of all ccunty officers at four years, and no action hav ing been taken, the measure is now ready for signatures of those who wont it to appear on the ballot at the next general election. - Approximately 10,000 signatures of reg istered voters will, be necessary to secure for the measure a place on the ballot The measure Is Initiated by Herbert De wart of Portland and R. J. Green of La Grande. T. The United States Depsurtment of Agriculture informs us. that you as an average American Citizen, eat about one hundred and eighty-two pounds of meat (1 8 1.83 lbs.) ill a year. Based on these figures, if you had purchased all of your meat foods from us, Swift & Company would have profited to the extent of -48 cents during the first eight months of our present fiscal :year. . In that eight months we averaged to make two fifths of a cent on each pound of meat and all other products sold. This profit you paid us .equals 6 cents a month or just about one street car fare. More than 30,000 shareholders looking to us as trustees of their invested money, had to be paid a reasonable return put of your '6 cents a month. Volume alone made this possible. . Now figure for ' yourself how Government inter ference in the 'operations of the packing business is going to reduce your meat bill! Let us send you a Swift "Dollar." It will interest you. .

Shoe prices will not drgp in Port land. There isn't any indication when there will be a letup. Thus Portland shoemen today set at rest reports that a marked de crease might be expected after Christmas. -Will Knight, president of the Oregon Retail Shoe Dealers' association, and R. H. Stewart, man ager of the C. H. Baker Shoe com pany, declare that wholesale prices are increasing constantly. rtJ. Frank McElwain, president of the National Boot & Shoe Manufacturers as sociation, was quoted In a , New York Associated Press dispatch this week as saying, that consumed might feel de creases in leather costs when they buy shoes In April," Knight said. "Despite the fact 'that he contradicted this re port the next day, wide credence has been given his first statement." McElwain, member of the W. H. Mc Elwain company, Boston shoe manufac turers, did net. however, deny that he bad said to the Middle Stales Shoe Wholesalers' association that decreased European demand was partly responsible for the reduction In shoe prices predicted for April. Neither was a clear explana tion given as to why the, 2,0 per cent de crease of leather prices since August would not have a tendency to lower re tail prices. . In fact, both Stewart and Knight said the McElwain concern itself has in creased its wholesale prices recently. Children's shoes that once cost him $4.50 a pair now are quoted at $6.20 a pair, wholesale, Stewart said. He sells this $.20 shoe for $9. "Doesn't this leave a wide margin?" the reporter asked. "No, only about 33 1-3 per cent" Stewart replied. . "Just about what other lines of business are getting." Profits, Stewart said, are based on selling prices. Thus $6 shoos selling for $9 would not yield a 50 per cent gross profit based on cost, but 33 1-3 per cent based on selling price. Knight, president of the Knight Shoe company, declares that the shoe short age is bo acute that foreign buyers can't set any manufacturer , to take -their or ders. Manufacturers allot ' their - pro duction among old customers . in . the United States. Shoe men figure that each of the 110. 000.000 persons in the United States will use three pairs of shoes next year. The output is only 296,000,000 pairs, so the United States will be short 34,000,000 pairs. Knight said that on a recent buying Trip to the Kast he booked orders with out knowing prices. He was glad to get the shoes. He adds 40 per cent on manufacturer's cost to determine selling price. This includes overhead and every other cost, as well as profit. People are still buying good shoes, both men ' agreed, despite high prices. People realize that it is wise to buy the best, they indicated. Stewart blamed newspaper stories of high prices as0,reatly responsible for present conditiir.is. Neither he nor Knight knew any mar ket condition that might indicate a let down in prices. Support Urged for McNary's Bill for Extension of Park Support of the entire state can be obtained for the McNary bill recently introduced in congress asking for the extension of Crater Lake National park, said William O.
