14 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1920. THE OREGON DAILY JOTTRNAL. PORTLAND. OREGON. BANKS SUMMONS JOINT DELEGATION TO "DUTCH TREAT" One week from Monday, which - daU f afl on . December .6, Multno mah county segment of the 1981 legislature will begin to function through the medium of a "putch treat dinner" to be staged under the auspice of Senator W. W. Banktf at one of Portland' prominent caravan . sarles. : That, In manner and form, - to the newe that cornea through 't-he ; announcement of Senator Batiks, who Is calling the meeting of jthe Joint delegation aa chairman of Jthe delegation of the 1919 -aeeslon. f ThU first meeting of the delegation will be strictly a family affair with hone of.th constituent mass Invited, not that the conatltuenclea of the varioui mem ' r would not be welcome, but because Kenator Banks believes that it would make for efficiency and dispattfh In sub sequent meetings if "the boys" were to be herded together for an evening on a footing of entire equality, including Individual ' payment of the cost of the dinner, so that all yose who are new may be given an opportunity to get ac qua lnted with all those who are old. legislatively speaking. Of course. MAT SAME HOCBE MAX 4- , At this dinner, too. It lsexpected that a chairman of the Joint delegation and a secretary will be selected for the see slon. Incidentally It Is expected that the chairman will be selected from the house delegation, since the senate had that honor last time and it Is a sort of unwritten law that the Job shall shift from one side of the assembly to the other with alternate sessions. Doubtless there are a.number of the house members who would not refuse thf gavel of the joint delegation should it be tendered them by the majority, or ' the unanimous vote of. the Multnomah county men. J. D. Lee. veteran legislator and head of the ticket In number of recorded votes, is being spoken of for the place, It being urged In his behalf that custom is extant which decrees that the man with the hijrh vote Shall be given the chairmanship. This Is a haay legend, however, and may not stand the strain of practice should the delegation have another mind. Herbert-Gordon, K. K. Kubll, Barge Leonard and one or two other members of the house delegation have also been mentioned. WILL DISCUSS LEGISLATION In addition to the election of a chair man and secretary - It is planned that the delegation . will discuss, generally, those major problems of Multnomah county which will come up for final de termination during the Bession. In legis lative practice all matters affecting Multnomah county are left for determin ation very largely , to the decision of the Joint delegation' of . the1 county. Strictly within the sule all ; Multnomah legislation is supposed to run the gaunt let of the Joint delegation before It makes Its initial bow to the whole legis lature, a custom which, I ordinarily speaking, gives' the delegation the power of life or death to local legislation. Following the initial and organisa tion meeting of a week from Monday It is proposed that the delegation will hold weekly and public conventions be fore which all local matters may be dis cussed by those Interested in them, or opposed to them.' It will also be for the delegation to determine whether It will limit its discussion to strictly local measures and proposals or will go Into the consideration of state-wide legisla tion, ' Local matters win probably be given the right of way even to the entire ex clusion of state-wide legislation, as paaU experience has demonstrated . tnai tne consideration of state-wide propositions by the Multnomah delegation prior to the convention of the legislature has tended to create Jealousies uaghout the state, other delegations contending that Multnomah's big representation was prejudging general legislation be fore It was given "consideration by the assembly at large.

Con sumers will benefit only slightly as & result of present sensational de clines In livestock I quotations, re search departments of Chicago pack ers predicted today. Admitting drops from $23 to $10.50 for bogs and similar reductions in cattle markets in less than a year, theoretically indicate great cuts in dressed pork and beef prices, these economists believe the public win benefit out nttie because: By-product prices the gauge of retail meat quotations have declined. Retail dealers are reluctant to make reductions. And a month is required for cattle and hogs to wend their way through , the preparation process - to the consumer's table.

Chambers' .X . ; "THEJRESTLESS SEX" downward, Leslie 6Rear of the research department of Armour A Co. said, be cause of lower trends of wholesale meats In the last two months.: "Our prices began dropping when ex port business fell off, thus causing leas demand." O'Rear said. The wholesale price came frqjn $23 to $15 on the strength ot this. . Retails prices should now average 5 cents under Quotations of a month ago. . v "Lately, farmers have been holding off shipments because of the election and the bumper crops. They began dumping their cattle and hogs on the ' market last week the big break was Thursday, when the decline was from $1 to $1.50 on hogs. It has developed into a 'sell ing panic'" Similar drops In by-product prices. O'Rear explained, will curtail the effect of the decline In livestock: prices, because packers count the revenue from the waste to balance the returns from the sale. of dressed meats.' BT-PRODUCTS SLOW ' , . 'V "While livestock Is "a, sellers market, by-products cannot now be disposed of at any prnice," according to O'Rear. Hide Quotations have dropped from SO to 21, and offal and other by-products similarly declined, he said. This would result in lower prices 'of shoes, clothing and other articles, ac cording to experts, but the public's buy ing strike has taken away (he market for the raw materials. By-products of lamb, which a year aco sold at $14, bring $1, now, according to L. H. Weld of the research department of Swift & Co Weld also held retail dealers re sponsible - because the public has. not benefited from recent reductions In wholesale prices. - , ,. O. O. P.
